Chapter Eighty–Eight
Alpha Blake
I spend the morning working, giving Ryley some time to herself. After her surprise visit with Alpha Dorian’s Luna, she hasn’t been
herself.
“She’s had an exhausting week, Blake.” Gunner defended.
“I know she has, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to spend time with her. I want to be there for her, whatever she needs,” I
sighed.
“And she needs space,” he retorted and I growled.
“You’re no help,” I scoffed before closing the link.
It was now midafternoon and it was almost time for me to meet the boys for our afternoon training. It gave me time to spend with
both of them. I left my office, hesitating as I walked by Ryley’s office. Since I canceled a contract, I have to wait for the lawyers to
handle everything before I can officially hire her to take over the work she was already doing. It was a lot of legal bullshit.
I knew she told me that’s where she was heading this morning went I left and I didn’t want to bother her. I can’t imagine how she
is feeling after seeing her mate’s chosen mate. I just pray she isn’t thinking about going back to her mate. Fated mates are
sacred to us. They are the other half of our souls. I may be selfish since I got to have mine, and I also want Ryley. But I don’t
want her soul mate to have her.
And I know that makes me an asshole but he had his chance with her and he tried to kill her. He made her feel like the only way
out was death. I will never let him have her, she is mine.

I quickly went upstairs to get changed before heading to the training field to meet up with the boys. I know Channing is having a
hard time with this. He never expected to meet his father but now the cat is out of the bag. He knows that Ryley is alive and has

given birth to their son. This is one big mess and I can see why she didn’t want to get me involved, but I was already involved the
moment she walked into my office and scolded me. That was the moment I knew she was going to be mine.
The boys were just finishing up their lesson with the younger kids as I made it to the field. I was feeling anxious about seeing
Ryley. She wasn’t on the alpha floor, so she must be in her office. I pulled out my phone to send her a quick text. She needed
space, but I needed to know she was okay.
“Dad,” Aspen called out before I received anything back from her.
“Aspen. Channing, how are you feeling?” I asked him, as they both approached me.
“I don’t know. Blake, how am I supposed to be feeling?” Channing shrugged. Aspen clasped his shoulder, reassuring him.
“You have us, and your mom. You don’t have to go through this alone.” Aspen said to his newfound brother.
“I know that, and I’m thankful for you both. I just don’t know how to put it into words. And I’m more worried about my mom. I’ve
been researching the mate bond and fated mates. Unless she is marked by another, the council can force her to be with him.
And I don’t know what he is capable of.” Channing sighed, and my heart twisted painfully. I know the council could step in, I just
thought since he was marked that there was nothing they could do.
“But he’s marked. Would the council force her to share her mate with the woman he claimed?” Aspen exclaimed, and Gunner
growled.

“I don’t know, and I would have to call my father to get more information from the council. But either way, I won’t let that happen,
Channing.” I told them.

“Dad, have you marked her?” Aspen asked me and I grumbled, running a hand throw my hair.

“No, we are taking things slow. I’m moving at a pace that she is comfortable with. And she isn’t ready for marking yet.” I
explained.
“But you are?” Channing questioned
“Why wouldn’t I be? My wolf has claimed her and you. I want both of you to be a part of this family and this pack. The only
reason why I haven’t is because I’m waiting on your mother.” I watched as Channing‘ seyes became misty.
“He claimed me?” He whispered.
“It’s not something an alpha wolf would ever do but things are different with you two.”
“Thank you.” I wrapped an arm around his shoulders and pulled him in for a side hug.
“You don’t need to thank me, Channing.”
“But I do. You’re the first guy I’ve ever seen my mom with. And there have been plenty who have tried. Wherever we went there
have also been guys who have hit on her and she’s ignored them all. My mom sees something in you that she hasn’t seen in
anyone else, and I’m thankful you are giving her the time she needs. She doesn’t know this, but there have been hundreds of
nights over the years when I would wake up to her crying in her room. She has had to be strong my entire life, making sure that I
have everything I could need or want. But I just want her to be happy. She deserves that.” He said, and I knew I wanted

to make her happy. There was nothing I wouldn’t do for her.
“You’re still not getting the pack,” Aspen chimed in.

“I don’t need a pack to kick your ass,” Channing retorted and the fight was on between those two. Both were wrestling, trying to
get the upper hand from one another. I just stood there laughing at the insults they were yelling at each other.
This should be how our life always is.
