    "We can both have him." Isabe says, her eyes pinned to the ground.


    "So you want us to..." I couldn''t even say the word. "Yes." She answered simply.


    "That won''t work."


    "It will; it did before. I''ve been busy these past few days. I know about you and Axel. Your rtionship with him never came between what you had with Thane, did it?" I couldn''t give an answer to that. "Riley, if Thane felt nothing for me, I would be gone by now, but I was his mate, and so there''s a part of him that would always have those feelings for me. I''ve been gone for long, so the mate bond between us has weakened, but it''s only a matter of time. When that timees we don''t have to make him choose."


    "I don''t want that Isabe." I said to her, even if I knew that she spoke the truth, or at least partially the truth. Thane might have feelings for her, and why he would never admit it to me, I knew that letting go of one''s first love and mate couldn''t be that so easy. "But then that would only be you being selfish; he did let you have Axel, and maybe it''s time you did the same. I am not forcing you into making any decision, but I do like you a lot. I feel like we have a lot inmon, and I want us to be friends, but that wouldn''t work with jealousy in the way. Thane will fall in love with me again, but I don''t want to have you as an enemy when that happens."


    She walked away, leaving me to think about what she had just said. I couldn''t do it; I loved him too much, and maybe I was selfish, but I wouldn''t share him, not with Isabe, not with anyone.


    The garden didn''t feel very calming anymore, so I returned back to my room; on the way I bumped into Daisy.


    "Hey," I said to her.


    "I''m d I met you. Your child is doing better; in a few days time, you coulde see him."


    "Really?" I asked, surprised.


    "Yes, he is one strong child."

    The excitement I felt clouded my mind, and the conversation I had with Isabe suddenly didn''t feel very important. "Thank you." I said to her,


    "By the way, have you seen Daemon?" she asked, and only then did I notice the ster on her neck.


    Daemon was already in the room by the time I walked in; he stood by the balcony, staring into the distance. I went straight to him. "Daisy wants to see you." I said to him,


    "She''s not the one I came to see," he said, his gaze never meeting mine.


    "She is a good person; you have no right to treat her like that."


    "Why? Because you told me to?"


    "Yes, because I told you to."


    "And what makes you think that what you say matters? Who I fuck is my business, Riley; stay out of it."


    I was stunned by his words.


    "If you aren''t interested in her, break it off."


    "Daisy is far gone; she''ll only cry her eyes out and keep begging. I can''t deal with that."


    "I saw her neck Daemon; it doesn''t take a genius to know what you''ve been up to; you are better than this."


    He turned to me, dark blue eyes on me. "And what if I am not better than that? What if I don''t want to change?" "There''s a better way to live..."


    "There is no," he cut me off, "better way to leave."
