"So you're going back?" He asks when I say nothing, like what do you say to that, the horrors he suffered and inflicted.

"I could always make you" he says “but honestly I don't believe you deserve them"

"Do you deserve a second chance mate?" I ask, his tone irritating me.

" If the goddess granted me one, she wouldn't be trusted easily. That's if I let her live, I don't need a mate. They make you weak, blind you and in my position I can't afford weakness" he says.

"How did you do it, survive after I mean?"

"I never marked her, Avery took the remnants of the bond away"

"Huh she would do that for you but not me"

" Aamon and I are best friend's, for over a decade when my father introduced us. Avery knew what she was capable of"

"How so?"

"Because she saw it" He says, getting up and dusting his pants off.

"Come I have spare clothes, I will shout you lunch and later maybe beat some sense into you"

I stayed with Ryker for a few more hours, not that I had much choice, he could literally command me to do what he wants. After he left I shifted back but Titus wasn't happy, he was enjoying being back in our human skin. I zone out for a few hours when he suddenly shifts, forcing me to come forward leaving me bare in the middle of the road.

'Titus what are you doing?'

'I'm done Drake, go home. I want to see my kids, my mates, ' he says before wandering to the back of my mind where I can't reach him. Looking around I groan when I see I am on Tate's territory. Walking through the trees, I jump the fence when I hear wolves racing toward me. I halt waiting for them to find me. Four wolves surrounding me before the big one shifts, Elias.

"Drake?" He says his face lighting up before he comes over patting me on the back.

"Man where have you been? I was wondering if you would come back" he states.

I nod not wanting to tell him it wasn't my idea to come back but Titus's.

"I will call for Tate" I shake my head.

" No, I'm not sure if I will stay" I tell him and he seems shocked, taking a step back.

When I turn to leave Elias grabs my arm, pulling me back.

“Tate is on his way” He says, I growl at him annoyed that he called for him.

It only took around ten minutes before Tate walked toward me, Elias had given me some pants from one of the warriors on guard. My heart skipping a beat when I saw him, I didn’t know if I was happy or scared of seeing him, yet the rage inside him as he approached was obvious. Before I even got to say anything he punched me. Knocking me to the ground.

“6 months Drake, 6 fucking months you made us wait”

“Look I’m sorry okay”

“Not good enough, we have made a life here without you I won’t have you ruin it, ruin her not again” He says.

“Does she know I am here?” I wondered if she wanted to see me, or if I could see our kids.

“No, what do you want?” He asks, folding his arms across his chest.

“I wanted well, Titus wanted to see them” I admit.

“And you?”

“I don’t know what I want Tate,” I told him.
