The feeling of being cared for was something the original Riven yearned for. But his father had never given him that. The man had been too busy dismissing him as useless, worthless... Riven wished he had never been born because of this man.
Riven felt a pang of sadness for the original Riven, and a fresh resolve sparked in his heart. This was why he was going back—to take revenge on that worthless father and his arrogant stepbrother. He was not the weak, neglected boy anymore.
And fine, he was indeed borrowing Ronan's power, but so what? Ronan was his mate, so why can't he use some of Ronan's power? Riven did not feel guilty. He wanted revenge for the original Riven one way or another.
Seeing Riven's expression be so serious, Ronan was slightly worried. He sent one of his men to go back and release Raphael from prison. He was worried about Riven's reaction.
He leaned down and brushed his lips over Riven's forehead. "Ready?" He asked.
