Rio’s eyes wandered around so they didn’t stay awkwardly on Jaden the whole time. She didn’t want to give the brute stage fright, but the spotlight was on him. It was his time to shine. ”Oh, I was a loner for a while too …” She wasn’t sure if he was aware of that about her, but she really wasn’t paying attention to what she told him and what she didn’t tell him already. She figured it wouldn’t hurt her if she through things out there about her, too. She listened calmly to his story, but when he paused she could feel him become a little uneasy.
Rio became instantly interested. She never imagined Jaden as the type of wolf to do bad things. Now that he seemed to open this can of worms, she couldn’t see it in him. ”Terrible? What can you possibly have done that was so terrible?” She didn’t believe this good-natured brute could be capable of anything that would harm others. Rio wasn’t sure how she would take his news. After what she had gone through with Harlowe, though, she was a lot harder to move. Sure, others have always done horrible things, but it needed to be something really bad to someone she loved once to really get Rio off her rocker.
