"I will not forgive you, Ronan. Let's just... Get this over with." Riven whispered.
Riven couldn't help the bitterness that crept into his voice despite how soft and broken it sounded. He enjoyed it, he enjoyed that Ronan suffered because he left. He also hated it.
Because... He did like Ronan, but Ronan hurt him. He knew what Ronan was like, he knew Ronan's backstory. He knew what to expect, and yet when he experienced it, he felt so... Unworthy.
He was not Ronan's real mate, was he? He simply took over this body. And because of this, he had an insecurity in his relationship with Ronan. He wanted to be truly loved by him, or nothing at all. He refused to be in a push-and-pull relationship.
He tried his best to give Ronan the benefit of the doubt after the first time he left... But after the second time, Riven refused to put up with it.
"I will not forgive you, Ronan. Let's just… get this over with," he whispered it again, his words trembling with both need and resentment.
