The Other Side

"Only if you tell me why you left me twice..." Riven responded. He needed to know. Without that knowledge, he wouldn't be able to let go of the gnawing pain that kept clawing at his heart. He knew that he was insecure because he was simply a transmigrator... Not his original mate. So he needed to know Ronan's reasoning.

Riven kind of knew why. It was the same reason why the Riven in the story died. Ronan viewed his mate as a weakness. Something that could be used against him, someone who would make him more vulnerable.

He believed that attachments were a flaw and love was something that could make him weak. Riven knew all of this, but still...

Ronan, after seeing how disgusting his father and the alphas before him behaved, he felt the need to prove himself to be the best leader, no distractions... That all changed when he met Eli, of course. He melted that frozen heart.
