[No matter what happens in the future, Riley can't let this go now. He can't ever remember being this happy with someone - even if it is broken up by bits of hardships.
A life without Aiden isn't a life at all anymore. Now that he knows what it's like, he can't imagine how he ever survived without the hunter.
His mate's words strike deep. They hurt him to know that Aiden wanted to die but at the same time, he understands. Sometimes a person can only take so much before they just want to give up. Their world has a way of eating away someone's heart.
From the general hardships of trying to survive to the horrible aspects of just living. A soft huff.]
The relationships of a pack aren't that great, trust me. Bonding over torturing and killing is the worst. Sure they make it look like they're like a family but that's not the kind of family anyone should have.
[Wolves who force others to do unspeakable things, who will kill rather than release, who laugh when chomping on some innocent child. It was the kind of place where the only escape was to die but even that wasn't simple.
A quick death by hunter-suicide or prolonged one by wolf torture. Though whether wolf torture meant it being at the hands of other wolves or by transforming into one was the question.
His hands move so that his fingers can link on the back of Aiden's neck, ensuring that his mate won't be able to go far.]
You saved me. My sanity, my life, my heart. Who knows what I would have become had you not come. Had you not convinced me to go away with you.
