Chapter 18 

Over the next few days, Ryker and I developed some sort of cordial arrangement between us. My fear of him wouldn’t disappear in a day, that much was obvious but now I had less reason to fear him after seeing how he treated he omegas in his pack. I also didn’t actively try to avoid his presence anymore and I took that as a huge win. 

On a lighter note, my leg was almost perfectly healed and now it didn’t hurt at all as I made my way around the house. 

I was sitting at the dining table waiting for Eve to serve breakfast when I realized I hadn’t seen Ryker all day which was a surprise. He usually joined me during breakfast before disappearing for work. 

“Where is Ryker?” I asked Eve and she looked as shocked by my question as I was shocked that I even asked it in the first place. 

“He should be outside training.” 

A part of me knew that Ryker trained. He had to be doing some sort of training to be able to obtain the kind of b*dy he had. He hadn’t said anything about my training and I was beginning to wonder if I would ever be allowed to train again after what happened. 

I left my untouched breakfast and made my way around the house until I heard the sound of flesh hitting something and sharp grunts. I followed the sound a little further into the woods around the house and saw Ryker. 

He was shirtless and his entire upper b*dy was gleaming with sweat. His shorts hung low on his hips and his hands were wrapped in a bandage as he delivered swift punches to the trunk of a tree. I couldn’t help but wince at how painful that would be but Ryker wasn’t bothered. He kept hitting the trunk as if he was punching a feather- with no care in the world. 

I accidentally stepped on a twig and his movements ceased. He turned around and when he saw it was me, I saw the tension. in his shoulders deflate. 

“I didn’t mean to bother you.” I said softly, “I should be going-.” 

“It is fine,” he assured me. When I didn’t move, he gestured for me to come closer, “I lost track of time. I should have been back by now.” 

I obliged and moved closer to him and I tried my best to keep my attention on his face and not his perfectly defined and chiseled chest. If he told me he was carved from stone I would have believed because no one should ever look this good. 

I flushed pink at the thought and chided myself. I shouldn’t be having those kind of thoughts about him especially not when he is right next to me. 

“Can you help me?” I didn’t realize he was talking to me until he called my name, “Camilla, can you help me unwrap my 

hands.” 

I flushed pink again at being caught but I nodded and slowly made my way over to him. This was the first time I was consciously being close to him and his scent hit me full force for quite possibly the first time.
