Ryley
After leaving Blake and Luca in my office, I headed upstairs to get a room ready for Walter. I also needed to get some laundry done, make dessert, and find an outfit for dinner this evening. I was feeling anxious about sitting with everyone. I was now a member of the pack, not just a visitor.
“And future luna,” Lily chimed in. I let out a groan as I entered our
apartment.
“Maybe, Lily, I don’t know. I want to be with Blake but do I want all the responsibilities that come with being with an alpha?” I sighed, as I walked from room to room collecting laundry.
“We are a Luna by birth. I chose Blake and his wolf as our mates. Not just because we could be forced to be with Dorian or another alpha, but because I love him. I love him for us. He takes care of us and our pup. And no other alpha would do that for us, I assure you.” She said.
“I don’t know if I’m ready for that just yet. What if Blake wants more kids? And I don’t think I want to live in the pack house. There is just so much for us to discuss before we can mark each other.” I told her.
“And what if Blake does want to have a child with us?” She asked and I sighed.
“I don’t know. I never thought I would have a chance at a mate again. So I never gave in much thought.” I said as I started the washing machine.

“It’s not such a bad thing, Ryley. A child to bring together two families.”
“But what if he doesn’t want any more kids and I’m overthinking this? Or if in a few years, I want to have another child but he doesn’t.” I exclaimed. My chest became tight, making it hard for me to breathe.
“Breathe, nothing has been decided. You’re overreacting for nothing,” she scolded me.
“Or maybe I’m under–reacting,” I retorted.
“Ryley,” she sighed.
“Lily, I need to make sure that Blake and I are on the same page before I commit to this relationship forever. I was ready to commit to Dorian
and look how well that turned out.” I reminded her.
My phone rang in my pocket, pulling me from my argument with my wolf. I gave her a pack and now she wants a mate. I don’t blame her but I need to take this slow. I was about to rush into things with Dorian without knowing he was my mate, and he fucked me over, even knowing I was his mate.
“isa?” I answered the phone. Her name flashed on the screen before I
vered.
yley, sorry I missed your call. Are you able to chat now?” She asked.
“Blake isn’t here. But I can talk. Is everything okay?” I questioned.
“I’m sorry about my father yesterday. Dorian has been on a rampage since you left. He’s convinced the reason you didn’t have your wolf is because you were in heat. You didn’t mention Blake marking you,” she said.

“We haven’t yet. But I think we should discuss what would happen if your mate went to the council demanding me back,” I sighed.
“I’m hoping if that does happen, you will let Blake mark you. I don’t know if he will or not, Ryley. He’s hurt that you kept his son from him and he’s angry with his father for what he did. And then Blake pulled his warriors and he’s worried about the pack.” She confessed.
“I understand that. But in my defense, I thought he was trying to kill me. He could have tried to find me.” I defended.
“That’s true. There are a lot of what–ifs. But that doesn’t change anything. Right now we just need to focus on the present.” She told
1. me.
“Have you found your father?” I asked her.
“We haven’t. Dorian is going through the warriors to see who is loyal to him or his father. He doesn’t want any part of his father or his pack. And he’s worried he’ll come after your son. He wants to protect you but feels conflicted because of me and our son.” She sighed and I could
hear her sorrow.
“I should have stayed dead. Then this all wouldn’t be happening,” I breathed out, sitting on the edge of the bed I was in the middle of making.
“But then you wouldn’t have Blake. This will all be worth it in the end, if we survive. I’m sure the only reason I’m not dead is because my father made a deal with the devil.”
“We’ll have to get together soon. But keep me updated and I’ll do the same. And if you need anything, let me know.” I told her. After we said our goodbyes, I flopped back on the bed.

“The only way out of this is to kill Dorian’s father. Dorian can take over his pack and you can have your pack back or hand it over to Channing.” Lily said.
“Channing doesn’t want to be an alpha. And I would never ask him to give up his dream. And if I have a pack, I can’t be here with Blake. But I do agree that Darius needs to die. Not only for killing my father but for everything he has done.” I told her. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
I got off the bed and quickly made it before returning the dirty bedding to the small laundry room. I’m sure this room has never been used, but I prefer to do these kinds of things myself. When I was satisfied with the room, I made my way to the kitchen to see what I could make for dessert. There wasn’t much here and I should probably go grocery shopping.
I was in the middle of looking through the fridge when the door to the apartment was thrown open. My heart pounded in my chest when I heard her voice ring out through the space.
“What do you mean they are now living together?”
