Chapter Eighty–Four
Ryley
I awoke to an empty bed, and I wondered where Blake went. He told me he had the day off to spend with me. But maybe he got bored of laying in bed. I’m sure he would have woken me if anything would have happened. I still haven’t seen the boys, they were sleeping when I came home and I didn’t want to wake them. Yesterday, was a very emotional day and I knew they needed their rest.
Stretching, I sat up, looking around the room. This would be the perfect time to be able to mind link, I thought with a sigh.
I noticed my phone on the nightstand as I sat on the edge of the bed. I had missed calls from Isaac but I was more interested in the message
from Blake.
Blake: Went to spar with the boys. Didn’t want to wake you. We’ll be home soon. Love, Blake.
I smiled as I read his message. He was so sweet and thoughtful, it warmed my heart knowing I picked such a wonderful man.
I reached out to Lily, as I walked into the bathroom to shower. She was still sleeping away. She better wake up soon, I had so many nagging questions to ask her. And she also could have warned me about the heat. I still would have saved Aspen, I just would have been more careful where I would have cut my arm.
I turned on the shower before pulling off Blake’s shirt I was wearing. I loved wearing his clothes and smelling like him. His scent calmed me in a way I never expected. When I was naked, I peeled back the bandage, exposing my stitched–up skin. It was red but it looked to be

healing.
I hissed as I entered the shower and the hot water ran over the wound. This would be healed, if Lily would just wake up. But instead, I’m dealing with healing, human style, and it sucks.
My limbs felt heavy as I finished my shower. I was ready to lay back down but I knew I needed to eat something. I needed food and rest. Before leaving the bathroom, I placed a new bandage on my arm before getting dressed. I pulled on a pair of sweatpants before grabbing one of Blake’s sweatshirts. I took in a deep breath of his scent as I made my way to the kitchen.
I was just in the middle of eating a peanut butter and honey sandwich when there was a knock on the door. Who would be knocking? I cautioningly walked towards the door. I didn’t have Lily right now, and I was still weak.
“Yes,” I called out.
“I’m sorry to disturb you, Luna, but you have a visitor,” a man said through the door. I opened the door to find a warrior.
“It’s just Ryley and a visitor? I wasn’t expecting anyone,” I told him.
“Would you like me to ask her to leave?” He asked.
“No, I’ll be down in a moment. Where am I to meet her?” I questioned as I put on a pair of shoes that were at the door.
“She is waiting outside, she refused to come inside,” He informed me as I stepped out of our apartment, closing the door behind me.
“Thank you,” I said as I made my way to the front. I was panting as I made it down all the stairs and to the front door. The warrior opening the front door startled me. I didn’t know he had followed me.
