Chapter Forty
Ryley
The boys and I made it to the cabin before noon. I felt better just breathing in the cool air of nature. This is the place I needed to be to clear my head. Walter wasn’t able to stop by until later this evening to take the boys fishing. So after everything was unpacked I decided to go for a walk around the property. And the boys came with me.‘
They walked ahead as we walked around the cabin to the back. I was also going to check the fence for any damage. The pack knows to stay away but this will make me feel better. I’ve never had any trouble here and I wasn’t going to start now.
“Ryley, are you okay? You’ve been quiet.” Aspen asked me, concerned. He slowed down so he was now walking beside me. Channing was typing away on his phone ahead of us.
“I’m okay. Just glad to be out in nature again.” I told him.
“I like it out here as well,” he said. We walked in silence along the fence as I checked to make sure there were no gaps.
“So, Ryley, can I ask you something?” Aspen asked. I looked over at him and he had his hands in his pockets. He seemed nervous as he looked anywhere but at me.
“Of course, you can. What’s up?”
“Well, my grandparents are coming to visit and I would like for you to have dinner with us?”
“Blake’s parents?” I questioned. And he nodded. Blake never

mentioned his parents were coming into town. Or maybe he didn’t want me to know?
“I don’t know. If Blake says it’s okay, then I will be there.” I told him, trying to push it onto Blake. I didn’t want to say yes and have him not want me there.
“I’ll ask him. He told me this morning that they were coming for a visit,” he said before we were interrupted.
“Well, well, well, looks like the whore came for a visit,” Chris, Walter’s son called out from behind the fence. It was chain link and I was able to see him with a few of his warriors.
“Chris, fancy seeing you here. Didn’t think you still went on patrol,” I mocked.
“That’s beta to you, whore,” he growled.
“Don’t fucken call her that,” Aspen growled, defending me. Chris jumped over the fence, landing in front of me. I pushed the boys behind me as I stood my ground.
“Or what? What the hell are you going to do about it? This is my land. And you three are trespassing. All three of you rogues could go missing and no one would care.” he scuffed. Aspen was about to say something but I held up my hand. I didn’t need Chris to know about Blake.
“I own this property, Chris. So the only person trespassing is you. And was that a threat? I don’t think your father would take too kindly to you threatening people he views as family.” I told him.
“My father is an idiot to believe anything that comes out of your mouth. And you’re lying, my father would never sell this place to you.” He growled, getting closer to me. I stepped back, shielding the boys as best I could.
