Three Alpha Bikers Wants An Open Marriage Chapter 56

Riley’s POV

Day one passed slowly.

It felt like every second stretched forever and I could not even sleep properly because my mind would not stop thinking. About Bane. About what he told . About that ridiculous na. About the fact that nothing in my life suddenly felt real anymore.

I kept telling myself he was lying. I kept repeating it in my head over and over because if I stopped, even for one second, fear would swallow completely.

Now it is day two.

And I know he is coming.

Laden has visited every single day since that sentence. He cos, watches , asks questions, threatens , and then leaves like he enjoys seeing slowly lose my mind.

I hear the footsteps today again before I even see him.

Slow. Calm. Confident.

The guards unlock the cell door and it creaks open.

I do not look up.

I just sit on the floor with my back against the wall, staring at nothing as he walks inside.

I can feel his presence even without looking up. It is heavy and suffocating.

He stops beside and squats down. "You have not touched your al again today," he says in a low voice. "Do you want to die before the three days even end?"

I stay silent. I do not even see the point in talking anymore.

If they want to kill , then they should just do it already.

He chuckles softly. The sound makes my skin crawl.

He stands up and shoves the tray of food closer to .

That is when I finally lift my head and look at him. "I do not need this," I say coldly. "Laden."

It is the first ti I call his na.

For a mont, his expression changes. He looks surprised. Then he quickly hides it and smirks.

"You know," he says slowly, "I like you for a reason, and that reason is the fact that you are foolishly brave and it irritates ."

I glare at him.

"If at the end you are what I think you are," he continues, "and your precious Alphas do not co for you, I will enjoy breaking that bravery first before I let anyone kill you."

My stomach tightens but I refuse to look away.

He leans slightly closer. "You do not know the restraint I have to maintain around you," he says quietly. "The scent of you drives my instincts insane."

I swallow hard.

He smiles when he sees my reaction. "Relax," he adds. "I am not going to touch you."

He straightens. "At least not yet. I will wait until the third day ends before I decide how useful you truly are."

I clench my fists. "I hate you bastard," I say.

He laughs. "I know and I’m a bastard between," he replies easily. "And that makes this even more entertaining."

He turns and walks toward the door then he stops and looks back at .

"If I were you, I would eat," he says. "Because tomorrow, you might not see any al at all."

Then he leaves and the guards lock the door again.

The mont his footsteps fade, I let out a shaky breath.

I feel exhausted. Embarrassed. Angry.

Everything at once.

Slowly, I turn my head toward the next cell. Bane is already watching .

I feel my face heat up slightly because he heard everything.

But he just gives a small reassuring smile.

"Do not worry," he says. "Your mates are already inside the Blood Tithers’ territory. They will get you out."

My heart skips."They are here?" I ask in surplus

"Yes," he answers.

Hope rushes through so fast it almost hurts. I had felt them earlier, I had felt Gunnar and now it was right, does it an I am not truly human?

But then he adds sothing else.

"You need to pray to the Moon Goddess for one of them."

I blink.

"One of them?" I repeat. "Pray for one of them how? Is soone going to die?"

Fear grips instantly.

"No," he says quickly. "When the Triarch brothers fight together, very few forces in this world can stand against them. Even the Blood Tithers fear that unity."

"Then why should I pray?" I ask.

His expression becos serious. "Because one of them carries sothing dangerous inside him," he says quietly.

My chest tightens hard "What do you an?"

"One of them has a cursed lunar entity within him," he explains. "If that side awakens and overpowers his wolf, he will beco a threat to everyone."

My eyes widen.

"Especially you," he adds.

A chill runs through my body.

"Stop," I say quickly. "You are scaring ."

"I do not intend to," he replies. "I am only telling you what I know."

I shake my head. "This is too much," I snap at him.

He continues anyway. "One of the brothers is not fully wolf," he says. "He is a hybrid."

My mind starts racing.

"And he is the one you are most compatible with as a mate."

"What?" I gasp at his words, right now my eyes feels like popping out of their sockets.

"The bond he has with you is stronger than the others," he explains.

My breathing becos uneven. "Which one?" I ask desperately. "Please tell which one."

I try to think. Gunnar is cold and terrifying. Cane is unpredictable.

But then I rember sothing. The way Caden almost killed Ethan without hesitation in the boardroom that day, the way his eyes glowed! Holy hell! And he was still the one that cald down.

The darkness in his eyes.

The violence.

My eyes widen.

"Caden," I shout instantly. "It is Caden, right?"

Bane smiles slightly.

"Ti will reveal everything," he says.

My heart starts beating faster. "What happens if that other side takes over?" I ask.

He looks at carefully. "Then he may not recognize you," he says. "And you will be the one person he must never harm."

Fear fills completely.

"How do I stop it?"

"You cannot," he replies. "Only he can."

Silence fills the cell instantly, horror grips . What kind of sick twisted problem have I gotten myself in. I used to be Riley Grayson CEO, now I’m in the middle of sothing I don’t even know.

I sit there, shaking."So what do I do?" I can’t help but ask

"For now," Bane says, "you wait to see how fate plays out."

I nod slowly. "They are close," Bane says quietly.

Hope and fear mix inside .

"Prepare yourself," he adds. "The Blood Tithers will not let you go easily."
