Chapter 23: Soul search

Ava stood up from her seat. "I know it isn't my place to say this but I have to say it. Ryder has feelings too, you all are close to his heart. Jayden, he trusts you so much, you too Helena and Evena. You all conspired and lied to him for so long, do you know how betrayed and hurt he is? And his pride? He is the Alpha of the pack and yet he didn't know his brother was hiding in this very pack, do you know how stupid he must feel?." 

She turned to Lavender,"He might not show it but he cares for you, I know he must have hurt you back then but can you put yourself in his shoes and imagine how he feels right now? He feels hurt that his brother would rather hide away in a shed for so long than stay with him."
