Chapter Six

“I didn't fucking run away!” Terry harshly threw his fork down, but Riley didn't flinch at his anger. He might have said the words, but deep down, he knew Riley was right.

Fuck! Terry was trying hard to get Riley to get over his anger with him so that they could live peacefully, but he was getting sick and tired of his damn attitude. He knew he fucked up five years ago, but he could not take back his mistakes, only make up for them.

“Look, I'm sorry.”

“Do you even know what you're apologizing for?” Riley sneered.

“I'm trying here! Can't you even give me a chance?” His voice cracked with emotion, hoping Riley would see that he was being genuine.

“A chance,” Riley scoffed. “You are asking for a hell of a lot. Don’t you think?”

Riley stood and walked over to the sink, staring out the window. Terry did not want to acknowledge the way he had treated Riley five years ago. To him, it was all in the past, but he also never asked fate to send him a mate. Terry had been happy with his damn life before he scented Riley, and now he could stop thinking about the omega. He didn't deny that showing up at Riley's place was a mistake, but he had no other choice.
