River’s Savior (No Surrender #7)

36. Huntley

Chapter Thirty-Six

HUNTLEY

She wasn’t with me any longer.

River was lost in the past.

It was scaring the shit out of me as she rocked back and forth, her eyes in a faraway place. Rage bubbled up inside me. I was going to kill the monster she’d just mentioned and anyone else from her past that had hurt her.

“Baby…” I whispered but she couldn’t hear me.

A tear slid down my cheek as realization dawned. Except for my mother, everyone from her past had hurt her.

My heart was sent through that shredder again.

And when she got done telling me her darkest secret, it was in a million pieces.
