Chapter 193: Black Sins
Riley came into view, she paused seeing the thinking state he was in and her chest felt heavy seeing him like this, he looked lost and confused.
She cautiously approached him, seeing him with sad eyes.
"Hey" she began softly, seeing no answer from him, she swiftly took her seat beside him but Liam didn’t acknowledge her presence, he has been like this for the past few days, avoiding her, not sparing her a glance not coming to bed, it broke her heart to see him this way.
"Liam" she began once more but still no answer. He didn’t speak or flinch, she sighed as her gaze leveled and then back to him. "Sooner or later you are gonna have to talk to me... you can’t avoid me forever" she said but then she wince in pain rubbing her throat, it still burned and hurt almost like Omari’s claws were still there, the mark still present and it didn’t seem to heal, not anytime soon, it felt like her air sometimes was restricted, Silver was trying her best to heal her up.
She moaned in pain once more as she opened her eyes, meeting with Liam’s gaze now on hers, his chocolate eyes were darker than ever, and his eyes had bags from lack of sleep.
"When was the last time you slept?" she asked worried as she reached for him, but Liam held her hand back, making Riley hurt at the action.
"Don’t" he drawled with pleading eyes, shaking his head, his eyes fixed on her neck, she knew what bothered him and she didn’t want him to, it wasn’t his fault. So she thought of diverting.
"So what... I can’t touch you now?" She began in a hurtful voice that was what hurt her the most, he didn’t want contact with her and it was heart wrenching, she wanted to tell him everything was okay and that meant giving him comfort.
She tried touching him again.
"Riley don’t" he growled.
She jumped slightly, imagining the voice as Omari, she took a harsh uneven breath before gulping hard. She shouldn’t have done that, it only seemed to worsen the situation.
