RILEY

My father was alive, and maybe he did know where exactly I was, but he never visited, not once.

Back in the Windborne pack, I had watched the other pack members with both their parents, but I had only my mother to rely on. I wanted a father; I felt like there were so many things I could learn from him, but he was never there.

My mother believed Slade had been my father, and it turned out she was wrong, which means she didn’t know who my father was. But Daemon did. Maybe he was lying, but for some reason, I believed him. What I couldn’t understand was how he knew so much.

In the past, I had wanted to find my father; I could give anything to see him and know who he was, but now, knowing that he was alive and never bothered to check on me or my mother, I concluded he wasn’t worth it. I didn’t think he deserved to be called a father; all he ever was was a sperm donor. He was no family to me.

Yet Daemon said only he could help me get rid of ‘my darkness‘. Maybe with that gone, I could finally fit in; maybe the whispers would stop. I wanted that. I was yet to tell Thane anything about Daemon. It wasn’t wise to keep secrets away from him, but I knew he would be disappointed in me if he knew that I had been so close to a demon; he would think I was a fool for risking my life. I was going to tell him everything; I just needed some time.

At that moment, I felt a twinge of pain in my abdomen. I took a seat, hoping it would ease the pain, but it didn’t. the pain intensified, and I groaned.
