Chapter 33

ok ok so since we're  quarantine and whatever I decided to try and  finish this book. I don't remember what plans I had for this book, but one of my best friends gave me and idea and I decided to give it a shot so please let me know what you think in the comments and hopefully I'll finish this book! 


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


It's been a year since I accepted the offer that Russell had made me. I had been under constant training and I I was more powerful than I had ever imagined. After I learned how my powers worked, I made a deal with Russell and I would keep being by his side as long as Adam was released. I couldn't risk anyone seeing me, so I took him just close enough to the pack house, but far away enough so that no one would see me. I still replayed our conversation in my  head every time I could, it was the only thing I had left of Adam. 




"Riley, you don't have to do this." He said, in that low voice that I always loved. He was so tired his eyes were almost closed shut. He was beaten up so bad I have no idea how he was even standing right now. "This is my decision, Adam." I said in a stern voice. God, I missed him so much. My heart was beating so hard in my chest I was scared he could hear it. Tears sprung to my eyes when I remembered  that he lied to me. All that time, it was all a lie.


I didn't notice that he stepped closer to me until he grabbed my hand so softly like it was going to break. "Riley... Look at me in the eyes and tell me that you want to do this. Tell me that you don't want to stay here with me and that you went through the trouble of helping me because you love me. Tell me that you don't love me the way that I love you." I wanted to tell him so bad that I wanted to stay with him because I still loved him, but I couldn't. 


"I do want to do this." I said in the most serious voice that I could muster, I gave his hand a light squeeze and looked into his eyes. "Adam, I have to do this." The tears were rolling slowly down my eyes and I couldn't stop them. "Riley, please." He said in a low voice. He rested his forehead on top of mine while holding both my hands. 


"I'm so sorry for everything that happened, but you're my mate. I fell in love with you because you're the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you before how I knew your gift, but when I found out you were my mate I knew I had to protect you at all costs to avoid this. Please let me make this right." His own tear were rolling down his cheek and I couldn't find my own voice. 


"Stick to the plan and don't mess it up" Was the last thing Jason said to me before I had to  bringing Adam here. I kept that in my head because I knew Adam would try something like this. 


"Adam..." I say looking up at him. Those hypnotizing eyes were staring down at me and they only displayed sadness and it broke my heart that I was doing this to him. 


God, please let this work. I need to get back to him. 


Before I could change my mind, I got on my tippy-toes and kiss him with all of my strength. He must have been surprised because it took him a few seconds before he wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my back with the same force. This was all I could give him without ruining the plan. I needed to keep Adam safe and this was the only way. 


His hands were in my hair and tracing my spine, making me remember all of the beautiful times we spent together. I ran my hands through his hair and he lightly squeeze my waist. I wrapped my arms around  his neck and pulled him closer than he already was. No matter what I did I couldn't get enough of him. Eventually, we had to end the kiss and catch on our breath. 


I had a moment of weakness then, I could run away with him right now. We could leave all this behind and start over. I could almost see us being happy, getting our own place and just being with each other. Before I changed my mind, I pushed all those thoughts away and thought about what was happening now and what I needed to do. Almost as if he could read my thoughts, Adam cupped my cheek and lifted my head up. His eyes were begging that I would stay here with him. God, I loved him so much. 


"I forgive you." I said as another tear rolled down my cheek. His thumb brushed it away and he gave me a small smile. "I was selfish and inconsiderate and thank you for keeping me safe." My voice was cracking and I was trying my best to now breakdown in front of him because I know that I would stay. "I will always love you." I said as more tears rolled down my cheek. "I love you too, Riley" He said as he leaned down to give me one  final kiss. This was was more slower and less heated, making it the perfect goodbye. 


I started to make my way back to the car when I turned back around and give him a hug. He hugged me as tight and he could and then we both went our separate ways. As I made my way back through Russell's house I couldn't control my sobs as they coursed my entire body. It was the worst feeling I had ever encountered. I could feel my heart breaking in tiny pieces and no matter how much I cried it still felt like I wasn't crying enough. When I finally reached  Russell's pack house, my eyes were puffy and I was certain I could kill anyone that comes my way. 


On my way through Russell's office, I passed the kitchen and grabbed the biggest knife I could find. I went inside his office and before he could even glanced at me I had the knife pressed at his throat. "If you even DARE to hurt Adam or anyone in that pack house I will you and everyone in your pack house." My blood was burning through my veins and one small pressed of the knife and it would cut him. 


I have no idea if he was even fazed by the fact that I had a knife pressed against his throat and that I even threatened to kill him and his pack, but he gave a huge smile. "I won't even lay a finger in that pack house." He said, staring straight into my eyes. With that said, I walked out of is office and made my way through my room. I hid the knife  under my bed, which maybe wasn't the smartest thing to do, but I didn't trust Russell. 




"Does he suspect anything?" Jason asked me as he sorted out the different weapons on the table. "Even if he did, he hasn't said anything or given any indication." I said as I wrapped my hands with bandage. Ever since Russell kidnapped me, Jason was the one that was  helping me out with everything. He helped me make the deal with Russell so that Adam could be free and he's been helping me with our plan ever since then. We can't talk about it freely so we find hidden places were we know  he can't hear us and even then we whisper and try to make it seem as if Jason is just helping me train. We aren't sure if Russell is watching from a camera that we can't spot, so we make sure to take every precaution. 


"Adam hasn't reached out to you right?" He asks with a hint of terror in his voice. "No." I say with a pang in my heart. I hadn't seen Adam again since I dropped him off back at his pack house and the wolf hearing doesn't work since were both far away. It was hard for me at first and I was channeling my anger out through my training, which turned out to be a bad thing since Kevin ended up without a finger. He deserved it, so I could care less. 


Russell on the other hand, wasn't so keen on my little outburst and threatened to break our deal if I kept this up. Jason helped me out and soon we came up with a plan. I was getting good at channeling my powers but even then I couldn't do anything big. I managed to changed my scent to the same cologne that Jason but at the end it would always make me very weak. Jason decided to take it in a different direction and Russell approved. We started to work on my speed and the ability to throw weapons like knifes and start knifes at a fast speed and with force. You could tell this was my forte since I would tear the paper in half of the target in just one swing. 


After that, we started fighting with no weapons. At this point, Russell would put us in a room where he could watch us from the second floor over a metal railing. In the first few weeks, I would end up with major cuts and bruises and a bloody noise. Once we ended training, I would practice my ability to heal myself. It would help to stop the bleeding, but I couldn't speed up the process of completely healing my wounds just yet. After that me and Jason would try to talk to make sure that everything was  going smoothly. 


"Are you sure it was a good idea to let her in on what is happening?" I asked Jason and I started to warm up by throwing the knife stars at the target. Today we were gonna try being able to throw weapons without looking. Russell isn't sure if I'm even capable of doing that but he wanted to give it a shot. "I don't know but we have to make sure that Adam doesn't try anything on his end and she could be our best shot." Jason said, his back was facing so I couldn't see his expression but I know he was also hoping that she wouldn't say anything. 


"You said she was quiet right?" Jason asked as he handed me a knife and I closed my eyes feeling my way around the knife. "Yeah, I just hope she doesn't say anything to Skyler or Hailey." I said as I take a  deep breathe and focus on my surroundings. Tyler couldn't go through with the plan because Adam might find something out and then everything would be ruined, but Tyler's confident that Emily could do it so we went with her. 


I take one last breathe and I throw the knife. I opened my eyes and it hit the middle of the target's face, which I associated with Russell's.
