Undeniable (Undeniable series) by Kimberly Claire Page A

let that love move farther then each other. Their mother was never like that. She loved too much and trusted in people who she should never had trusted.” He says that last part with so much anger I can feel the power of those word come off like waves.
    “I think your wrong about her. She does have feelings, she cares .” Riley says still standing where he was before.
    “I didn’t say she didn’t care. Her emotions for revenge and the way she cares for our people are unmistakable, but getting her to love you might never happen.” Pack master says moving to sit back in his chair. “I love her as if she’s my own, her brother too. I practically raised them. Maybe not in the best way but in the best way I knew how. They mean more to me then I let on, so yes I know how to handle her, end of,” he says so officially and I don’t think I’m really supposed to be here.
    I hear Riley fall into a chair and feel his emotions over the conversation he just had. He’s mad, hurt, confused, but it’s the feeling he feels towards me that hurt the worst. It’s love. He loves me and I know deep in my heart the pack master is right on one thing, I will never truly love Riley. My heart already belongs to another. It doesn’t matter how brief it was the connection I felt with Beau, it awakened parts me that that I’ve never felt before. It showed me, just momentary, that yes I could feel that kind of love and I did for a complete stranger.
    Raising out of the chair I’m sitting in it makes a noise and everything is quiet. Just as I’m about to turn the corner to leave Riley exits the pack master office spotting me. I watch as he mouths the words ‘shit’ then calls my name out as he follows me down the hall. “Gemma wait please let me explain,” he pleads catching up to me quickly. I wasn’t running so I didn’t take him long. I don’t know how I feel about what I just heard so I don’t know what he expects me to say.
    I stop and both of his hands are on me as I watch his eyes glow dimly amber. When he looks me over I really think he is expecting water works or something because a line creases on his forehead before it’s smooth’s out. “Do you want to talk about it out here?” I ask knowing that is the last thing he wants and I watch him look around the now crowded hall.
    He shakes his head as he take s my hand leading us away from all the knowing eyes. We pass many places to have this conversation and I don’t know where he is taking me.
    Soon he’s opening the door of his room pushing me into his room as he shuts the door. I walk over to his desk chair thinking space is best for this conversation. It hasn’t even started, but I feel numb to it already. His eyes watching my every breath, every move, and every look I make for many minutes.
    “How much did you hear ?” He finally asks and of course that’s what anyone would ask. I bring my eyes up from his metal desk and look up at him.
    “I guess not enough ,” I say softly then add, “I don’t understand.”
    I watch him swallow then clear his throat a few times before speaking again. “We were having a disagreement about you,” he pauses watching me still. “When you got back you looked so lost and I only brought it up because I was very worried for you. I don’t like seeing you like this and I would do anything to help you. So I talked to the pack master and he thinks he knows you better than I do. He thinks he knows everything,” he says getting up and pacing now like he did in the office a moment ago. “He thinks you’re going to be a distraction for me in the games. That you don’t feel anything for me or anybody really, but I don’t believe that.” He stops pacing and kneels before me. “He thinks that I will die,” he says and the fact that I keep forgetting.
    “You won’t die ,” I say wanting to comfort him more, but decide against it for now. His hand rest on my knee over my blue uniform pants.
    He eye’s me for a moment then
