Chapter 17 Stinging

Riannon did not know how to react to this question. How did he guess?

Maya told her that she still smelled like a werewolf and an Alpha at that. So, it couldn’t be her scent. Yet somehow the Lycan king already knew that her wolf was missing. This was not the first time he was asking about Onyx. And Ria wasn’t stupid to consider it simple politeness. He wanted answers.

But so did she.

Even though everyone around them was ready to faint as soon as they were close to Gideon, she did not feel this way at all. She was sure that he wasn’t going to hurt her. Not at all. He did not give her that vibe. He felt like… She wasn’t sure like what. Not a friend.

Definitely not a friend.

Anyway, this was not important as he was staring at her expectantly with his arms crossed on his chest. His deep green eyes were on her and she felt pressured to give him an

answer.

“My wolf is not talking to me,” she said, choosing her words deliberately. She did not

want to lie to him. For some reason, she knew that it was very important to never lie to him.

And it was the truth at the end of the day. Some part of Onyx had to be there since she still had her werewolf senses and physical strength. But no matter how much Riannon tried to call for her wolf, Onyx did not reply to her. Thus – they were not talking.

“Hmm,” the Lycan king was watching her with a hint of doubt in his eyes, “For how long?” “A few days,” Ria coughed. What was it? An interrogation?

“What happened prior?” he asked and it made her flinch, letting him know that there was

something there.

She paused and he got tense. Just what was it that made her wolf go away? Did

someone hurt her? Sometimes, in very rare cases, wolves were retreating to the back of their host’s mind to recuperate if something terrible happened to them. Gideon’s fists clenched on an instinct as he imagined that someone may had hurt his precious mate.
