“Let’s get you up to bed, you still need to rest,” I told her, kissing her temple. She gave me a nod.

“Mom, what did she want?” Channing demanded as he clenched his fists.

“We can discuss this after we get upstairs,” I said.

“Dad’s right, Channing. And Ryley needs to rest,” Aspen told him. I helped her into the house and up the stairs as the boys followed behind us. I could feel her turmoil. Whatever his Luna told her was affecting her. And now, I want to know why I wasn’t informed of the Luna’s

arrival.

Once we were inside our apartment, Ryley took a seat on the couch, closing her eyes. I could tell she was still exhausted and her wolf must still not be awake.

“Mom, can I get you anything?” Channing asked her, grabbing her shoulder. She reached up and grabbed his hand.

“A water, please,” she yawned, and I sat down beside her. After Channing returned with a bottle of water and we were all seated, that’s when Channing asked her again.

“Mom, what did she want?” She opened her eyes to look at him.

“Did she threaten you?” I demanded, pulling her attention from her son. She looked at me, placing a hand on my thigh.

“No, it wasn’t like that.” She shook her head.

“Then what? Was she trying to set up some kind of playdate? Wanting to bring the family together or some kind of bullshit?” Channing exclaimed, and I growled at his tone. He should know better than to speak to his mother that way.

“Channing, I can’t change who your father is or that you have a half- brother. I know you don’t want to see your father, which I understand, and respect your choice. But his other son isn’t to blame for any of this. Just like his mate isn’t.” She sighed.

“How can you say that? He was seeing that bitch while he was with you, and it’s not her fault,” he yelled.

“Hey, I know you are upset but she had no responsibility regarding your father and my relationship. He made that choice. And I’m sorry my choice kept you from him. The last thing I wanted to do was hurt you.” She reached out to him and he moved away.

“So, are you going back to him?” He growled.

“Channing, what is your problem? Our parents are together,” Aspen exclaimed.

“Alpha’s need their fated mate. It makes them stronger.” Channing pointed out. He wasn’t wrong but I didn’t want to think about her going back to him.

“Sweetie, Aspen is right, I’m with Blake. I’m not going back to Dorian. The only good thing that came from our relationship was you. He has his Luna and a family and I have you. But I don’t want you to hate him. Hate will kill you slowly from the inside. I know you feel this need to defend me, but I’m okay. I have you, Aspen, and Blake. I’m happy. And I hope you are too.” She told him, before standing up and moving to sit

“I love you more than anything,” she mumbled, kissing his check. He nodded.

“I’m going for a run,” he said, standing from his seat. He bent down to

kiss his mother on the cheek.

“I’ll go with you,” Aspen said before he went to hug Ryley and kiss on the cheek.

“Thank you,” he mumbled and she grabbed his cheeks.

“There is no need to thank me, I love you and I will always protect you.” She told him, kissing his cheek. My heart swelled with emotion as I watched her, lovingly stare at my son. The boy that isn’t her

blood but she would do anything for. Ryley’s love has no limits and I’m thankful, Aspen and I get to be loved by such a wonderful woman.

“Fine, you can come but just don’t talk. I don’t need your words of wisdom right now,” Channing told him as they left the apartment, closing the door behind them. I was watching Ryley intently as she watched the boys leave.

“Are you okay?” She asked me, turning her attention to me.

“I should be asking you that question,” I told her.

“I’ll tell you, but first, can we talk in bed? I’m exhausted,” she sighed.

“Still no Lily?” I asked, standing up from my seat, I helped her to stand.

“Not yet, and I swear I’m going to scold her for taking so long.” She scoffed and I chuckled.

“To be fair, she didn’t know any of this was going to happen,” I defended her wolf.

“To be fair, I shouldn’t have gone into heat in the first place,” she retorted, taking a seat on the edge of the bed.

“I’m not complaining,” I purred, leaning over capturing her lips. She didn’t hesitant to kiss me back.

“Now, what happened that you didn’t want to tell the boys?‘ I

questioned, resting my forehead against hers. She let out a breath, and I could feel her hesitation.

“Lisa said that Dorian lied to me.” My heart twisted, painfully, as I tried to understand what she was saying.

“She told me he didn’t steal everything from me.” She finished, looking up at me.

“I don’t understand, why did she even come here in the first place?” And she shrugged.

“I don’t know. But I have a feeling I don’t know the entire story,” she sighed and I sat down beside her.

“Would that make a difference in your decision about being with me?” She turned to face me before taking hold of my cheeks.

“What? Of course not. That ship sunk a long time ago. But it does make me wonder. Maybe, I believed things to be all wrong. And now, everything is replaying in my mind. But this doesn’t have anything to do with us. I like us,” she smiled and I kissed her again.

“I like us, too.”
