AN
Chapter Ninety–Four
Ryley
Blake popped his head in to let me know he was heading to his office. I was in the middle of scolding my wolf when he
interrupted me. With everything that has happened, she should have warned me.
“Why the hell didn’t you tell me about you sleeping after my heat? And why the fuck did I even go into heat? Lily, I need
answers,” I demanded, as I stood under the hot water.
“First, I thought you knew about a wolf sleeping after being in heat. It’s something your mother should have told you. And
second, I don’t know why we went into heat.” She retorted.
“My mother told me a wolf won’t go into heat unless marked. I’m not marked. And I needed you. Aspen almost died and then I
did because I cut my arm to give him my blood and I almost bled to death.” I scoffed.
“Luna wolves will sleep longer than most. Most wolves would have been up a day or two after. I’m sorry, I didn’t warn you, Ryley.
But to be honest, I’ve never been in heat before. I felt funny all day and then when that male wolf was looking at you like that, it
clicked. Then things
happened so fast, and then I was sleeping.” She explained. I let out a sigh as I washed my body.
“And you don’t know why we went into heat?” I questioned.

“I don’t. I wish I could answer that. But did I hear you correctly, earlier? We are joining Blake’s pack?” She asked, her tail
thumping in my head.
“Yes, we are joining the pack,” I told her. I explained everything that had happened since she was sleeping.
“Ryley, why the hell would you go back to that pack without me? Are you insane? Did you hit your head when I was sleeping?”
She exclaimed, sarcastically. I rolled my eyes at my wolf’s attitude.
“I get it. It was stupid, okay. But I didn’t expect for Dorian’s dad to care if I was alive or dead,” I shrugged.
“Channing has full claim over that pack. He is the firstborn, alpha wolf to Dorian. And you are his mate. You have every right to
that is a death sentence. And you just walked in there like you owned the place without me or Blake to back you up,” she
scolded. I knew I deserved it, but that didn’t make it sting any less.
“I get it, Lily. I fucked up. I’m joining Blake’s pack. We are also going to speak with Lisa and Dorian today. Hopefully, we can
come up with a plan.” I told her. I climbed out of the shower, drying off before wrapping the towel around myself.
I had some time to kill before I had to see Blake in his office. Maybe I should give Walter a call. I know he’ll scold me like the
others but he could see something that I don’t. Or he could have information on Darius.

After I was dressed, I made my way to the kitchen to make myself a cup of coffee. I noticed Blake had the same coffee maker
that he put in my office. I smiled thinking about everything he had done for me and Channing.
“He’s a good alpha and an even better man, Ryley. And he wants you.” Lily huffed, annoyed.
“Thank you,” I mocked.
As I waited for my coffee, Channing and Aspen came walking into the apartment. They were both covered in sweat from their
early morning training. Tomorrow I will have to go with them. I need to get back into my morning
routine.
“Ryley, good morning, how are you feeling?” Aspen greeted me. He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.
“Better, thank you, sweetie.” I smiled..
“Mom, why would you go see Dad?” Channing growled, standing on the other side of the island. He has his arms crossed over
his chest.
“Sweetie, I didn’t go see your father. I went to see Lisa.” I
corrected him.
“His mate? Why the hell would you risk everything to go see her?” He retorted.
“Channing, I don’t appreciate the attitude. I understand you may be upset, but that doesn’t mean you can speak to me like that.” I
scolded him.

“Fine, don’t fucken tell me,” he scoffed before walking away. Lily let out a growl, stopping him in his tracks.
“When you have calmed down, I’ll be willing to answer all of your questions,” I called out to him. He was quick to slam
his bedroom door. I let out a sigh as I stared down the hallway.
“He’ll come around,” Aspen said, giving me a side hug
before he went to his room.
I poured myself a coffee before sitting on a stool in front of the kitchen island. I rested my head in my hands as I thought about
the mess I had made. I didn’t even get a chance to tell Channing about us joining the pack. Instead, he stormed to his room.
“He’s worried. He doesn’t want you going back to your mate.” Lily chimed in.
“So, should I go talk to him or wait until he calms down?” I sighed.
“He’ll have to come out of his room sometime. Just drink your coffee.” She answered.Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
“Fine,” I grumbled, taking a sip.
This was the last thing I wanted. I didn’t want to hurt my son. I needed answers, but I should have thought of a different way to
get them. I sat there until I heard a door opening. I turned to see Channing walking down the hallway.
“Sweetie, please sit,” I said to him.

“Mom, I’m going out,” he grumbled.
“Channing, you can’t leave without a warrior. Also, we have to wait until Blake is done with his meeting. We are joining his pack
today,” I told him, as I placed my empty mug in the
sink.
“Seriously?” I heard Aspen exclaimed, walking into the kitchen from his room.
“As soon as Blake is finished with this meeting, we will officially be a member of your pack,” I told Aspen.
“That’s if Channing still wants to be a part of this pack?” I said, facing my son. I could see his emotions written on his face.
“We are really going to join a pack?” He mumbled, his emotions caught in his throat. I walked over to him, taking
his hands in mine.
“It’s what I want, and I hope you still want that as well.” He gave me a nod before he wrapped his arms around me.
“Thank you, mom.”
