Chapter One Hundred Seventeen
Alpha Blake
“Mom?” Channing called to her. Ryley was still watching the truck as Eli drove away from the pack house.
“Luca, make sure he leaves,” I mind–linked him.
“Baby?” Ryley held out her hand to stop anyone from approaching her. I wanted to give her space but I also wanted to know what she was thinking.
“Boys, why don’t you both head up.” I told them. Before they could answer. Ryley shifted, the clothes she was wearing ripped, and was now on the ground beside Lily. Lily was beautiful as she shook out her fur before turning around to face us.
“Ryley needs a moment.” Lily said in my head before she took off running. She ran in the direction of the forest area behind the pack house away from the city.
“Mom,” Channing yelled, but she didn’t slow down.
“It’s okay, Channing, just give her some time,” I told him.
“Blake, what the hell happened?” He demanded.
“I don’t know,” I answered him, honestly.
“They aren’t leaving, are they dad?” Aspen asked, walking up to me. I balled up my fists. I wasn’t angry with his question just at the thought that she might leave and take Channing with her. She wouldn’t leave, would she?

“I don’t know, Blake. He came right to the pack house demanding to see Ryley. I thought everything he was saying was a lie, to be honest. I thought he would leave and I could ask her about it later. I didn’t want to interrupt your evening with her. I never thought he was telling me the truth.” he explained. And I sighed. Every time I think I have her ready to mark me, something like this happens and she pulls away.
A heartbreaking howl rang out and I knew it was Ryley. I couldn’t imagine what she was going through right now, but I also couldn’t let her leave. She is mine and I can’t let her go.
I excused Luca and my men before walking to the back of the property I pulled up a seat on the patio as I waited for Ryley to finish with her
run.
Every moment with her was better than the last and I knew I had to do everything in my power to make her stay here. To be with me so we can be a family.
“I love you,” Ryley whispered against my skin sending a shiver down my spine. She relaxed completely and her breathing evened out and I knew she had fallen asleep. I had just walked into our bedroom. I let
