Runaway Wolf

Chapter 26

Sage's P.O.V

Something is definitely wrong with Ryker. He won't speak to me about our babies due in a couple of weeks, he won't kiss or hug me, he doesn't even touch me when we're in bed, and he keeps leaving in the craziest times of night.

I don't know if I did or said anything to get this kind of reaction but, I will get to the bottom of this.

I walk into the kitchen where Ryker is. I walk over to him speaking to Cecilia. "Hey Cecilia, can me and Ryker have a quick moment alone real quick please?" She nods and walks away.

"Ryker we need to talk. I don't know what I did to make you feel like you can't speak or even interact with me but I think its unfair for you to be blowing me off all the time without an explanation." He stands there as if he doesn't give a shit about what I have to say.
"Do you have anything to say about that?" He rolls his eyes, "Ryker we are bringing not one but two children into our lives in a matter of weeks. If you can't man up and stop acting to antisocial then I hope you don't plan on seeing your kids." He shrugs and walks off.
Leaving me broken, confused, and tired.

Ryker's P.O.V

What doesn't she understand? I thought I was pretty obvious that I don't want to be with her. I want to be with Cecilia. Cecilia is the love of my life. She's the reason I wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night. Not Sage and her children.

It's late at night and Sage is asleep. I'm on my way to Cecilia's room. I knock on the door and wait for to tell me to come in.

When she gives me the signal I walk in and go straight to my baby. I give her a big kiss and when we can't breath we let go. "Hey babe." I say looking into her sparkling brown eyes. "Hey." She blushes, I love doing that to her.

"Sage didn't see you right?" I shake my head no. "I'm getting tired of having to hide our love. Why don't I just get it over with an breakup with her already? Then we can openly be together forever." I declare and she smiles but looks away.

"Just a little longer babe. I don't want to do anything to hurt Sage." That's why I love her. Always trying to be the better person. "Alright. I just hate sleeping in a bed with a person I don't even love." She comes closer to me and grabs my face softly in her delicate hands. "Just know that I love you no matter what. We are meant to be together and soon will be together, but the plan has to be finished first. Don't you wanna finish the plan?" I nod.

"All we have to do is wait for the babies to be born then with the my army backing us up we can the down the Goddess.  We don't need this hierarchy.  It's complete idiotocness." I agree with her.

"But how do we not know someone might not find out?  You know the Goddess can see into the future and so can many other pack members since we got our powers." I begin to sweat. "That's what this potion is for. So that she can't see what a going to happen. Now drink up." She hands me the vile and I take a quick sip and hand it back.
The taste is bitter but worth it. We'll soon be able to get rid of this messed up system that the Moon Goddess' have held up for centuries. Then and only then will we truly be free.

Sage's P.O.V

I son into my mother's arms as I remember what I heard from Ryker's very own lips. Her doesn't love me anymore. He loves Cecilia, and I'm just in the way.

"Everything will be okay Sage. We'll figure out what's going on." My mother says gently rubbing my shoulder as I'm collapsed I her arms. "We already know what's going on.  Ryker's loves Cecilia not me. It's been like this for weeks now. I can tell by how distant and grouchy he's been." I cry more.

"There has to be a reason why he would say that. He used to despise her now all of a sudden he loves her and hates you? Something just doesn't add up." Alex says.
