Riley’s POV

Darkness swallowed me whole.

I didn’t know how long the Shadowfang dragged me through the dirt. My body kept slamming against rock and packed earth. I couldn’t breathe. Dirt filled my mouth. My whole body screamed in pain.

I passed out.

I thought that was it. Although Ezra came for me, he was still a second late. And this meant death for me.

But eventually, when I opened my eyes, I found I was still alive.

I opened my eyes and found myself in a cave. It was complete darkness and silence around me. The screaming, the fighting, the horrible scraping rush of the Shadowfang’s body was gone.

“…Shit.”

I whispered, my voice hoarse.

Where the hell was I?

“Don’t move,” said a sudden voice from the darkness.

I almost jumped. And instinctively, I reached for my dagger.

But a large hand caught my wrist.

“I had confiscated all your weapons. Lie back down and rest.”

A light flickered in the darkness, filling the little space around us. Then I saw Ezra sitting on the ground beside me with a lighter

in his hand.

There were cuts on his face and the blood smeared down one/arm. His hairs were all messy. His shirt was half torn open, revealing his perfectly built upper body.

I couldn’t help but laughed.

“What’s so funny?” he asked, expressionlessly.

“No I just…” I bit my lip to stop another chuckle. “Never seen you this…disheveled.”

Whenever I saw him, he was always the highly, mighty, gorgeous Lycan King’s heir. With his chin raised high, his hair and clothes all flawless, and surrounded by a huge group of admirers.

This was the first time I saw him had this much dirt on him.

Yet he didn’t laugh at all. He simply gave me a dark look and then turned his head the other way.

I started to sense some tension.

“Umm….what happened exactly?” I broke the awkward silence. “I remembered being dragged down by the Shadowtangs.

“Yeah. It dragged you through a side tunnel. I followed the collapse line and found another drop.” He said flatly

I frowned at him. He didn’t seem thrilled at all. I was alive and he was OK. Shouldn’t we be popping imaginary Champagne right now? Why the dark face?

“Are you mad at me?” I asked. And then my heart sank. Shit, was he regretting jumping down to save me?

He finally turned his gaze to me. His green eyes were dark, almost black. “Do you have a reason to make me mad?”

My anger started to rise. “How would I know? I’m nor a fucking mind reader or anything. Maybe you regret saving me because I slowed you down in this gase. Is that it?”

He advanced on me abruptly. His massive frame loomed over me, completely taking me in fits shadow, very oppressive.

“You think I regret it?!” he growled, his angry voice echoing in the cave. “This fucking game meant nothing to me. It was you, Riley! I was fucking mad at you because you almost got yourself killed! Do you know how I felt when I saw that beast dragged you down? I thought my heart just fucking exploded!!!”

I froze. Words had left my tongue.

“I…I…” I stuttered after a while. “I didn’t know you would feel that way…’

That seemed to further infuriate him. “Then what do you think I’m supposed to think?”

I hesitated for a while but still decided to tell the truth. “I thought you’d be glad I was dead. Or at least relieved you can finally get rid of me. I know you never want me as your mate.”

His jaw tightened. “That was when I first met you. But after that I have told you I want you. Countless times! What are you truly afraid of, Riley?”

I lapsed into silence. I guessed I was indeed afraid.

“Maybe…” I started slowly, thinking, as I spoke. “Well, I don’t know…You have so many options. So many ex-girlfriends. And they are all gorgeous, and talented and come from a good family. I just felt I would never be your first choice.”

He cursed under his breath. “I can’t change my past. But none of them mean a damn thing to me. God! I wish you could feel what I’m feeling right now, or hear what my wolf is saying, then you’d know how stupid it is for you to compare yourself to those

women.”

Anger made his face even more fiercely handsome. I felt my heart was thumping against my ribs. “And there are also our families…my mom, your father, all those ancient histories-everything’s so messed up. I’m afraid when somebody opposed, or when politics gets involved, when bloodlines and titles and all that royal bullshit close in-you won’t choose me anymore…”

He shut me up with his lips.

He put one hand behind the back of my head and pressed me against him, forcing me to accept his fierce kiss. His lips were so hot that it made me shiver. I became so powerless under his attack.

When I felt like I couldn’t breathe anymore, he pulled back just a little, pressing his forehead against mine, breathing heavily.

“You will always be my first choice,” he said hoarsely. “Like this time. I know coming to save you will cost me points. Or even cost me this game. But I don’t fucking care. I just know that I can’t let anything happen to you.”

I stared at him.

Something inside me cracked wide open.

Before I even realized I was moving, I grabbed his shirt and kissed him.

Hard.
