Chapter 336: Distance

Killian’s POV

It had been days since Ryker had last seen Giselle, and Ryker still hadn’t asked a single question about her mother.

At first, I was afraid of what he’d say, dreading the moment he’d look me in the eye and ask, Where’s my mother?

I couldn’t bring myself to tell him the truth, knowing how much it would break him.

How could I possibly explain to him that Giselle is not her mother, and that she’s dead.

In his whole life, Ryker believed that Giselle was his mother – she’d raised him, after all, and he’d known her as nothing else.
