Chapter 47. The One I Never Chose.

Ryder’s POV

Saturday morning.

The sun was up but the sky appeared drab. I couldn’t sleep, I kept turning and tossing, guilt eating me up and all through the night I had pushed the thoughts of going over to her house out of my mind. She wouldn’t be happy to see me and I might end up hurting her more. Salome would be arriving today and I would be a terrible liar if I say I would be happy to see her. All I wanted to do was to see Lila and apologize, explain things to her that it wasn’t how Caleb had said it and that stupid Coyote boy, he needs some beating to reset his brain.

I was staring out of my window now and I was hoping she had called or texted the night before so I could explain and tell her that I do not love Salome and that I had never met her before.

I was hoping to see her again. I wanted to go and visit her but then I knew it wouldn’t be possible.

I failed. I should have told her the truth before anyone else did. But it was too late now
