Book Two Chapter Twenty-Seven

Alpha Blake

I stormed out of the house to confront Eli while my wife helped our son pack. I was fuming at the allegation ofnot loving my wife. Ryley is my mate, wife, and the mother of my pups, of course, I love her.

Ryley’s father stepped in my path and Aiden stepped up beside him. I closed my fists wanting so badly to hit that f ucker in the face.

“I swear if you let anything happen to my son, I will hunt you down and rip you apart, regardless of who the hell your alpha is,” I promised, looking around Aiden’s frame. I would do it now if I could. I pushed against Aiden when the f ucker smirked. Did he forget that this was my f ucking pack and he was a guest here.

“Blake,” Ryley yelled. She and Aspen were standing on the porch.

I pushed away from Aiden and my father-in-law, turning away from the house. I took deep breaths as I closed my eyes to calm myself. I didn’t know if it was because that f ucker said I didn’t love her or that he was going on this mission with my son. Or was it that my mate trusted him? Whatever it was, I hated it. And I loathed him.

Ryley surprisedwhen she wrapped her arms around my waist and rested her head on my chest. I wrapped my arms around her, welcoming her comfort. She has to know this isn’t easy for me.

I’m not ready for my son to run off by himself and he is going with someone who is in love with my mate. I was torn about letting him leave at all.

“It will be okay, babe,” she reassured me. “I know this is hard,” she choked and I squeezed her tighter before kissing the top of her head.

“Is she worth all this?” I heard Channing questioning his brother.

“Is that your way of guiltinginto staying?” Aspen retorted and Channing growled. “If you are so worried, you don’t have to go back.”

“F uck you,” Channing exclaimed, I turned to see him pushing Aspen.

“Hey,” I commanded. Ryley jumped at the sound of my voice and I wanted to strangle both of them. They both stopped and looked at me. “That’s enough. Both of you have your reasons for leaving.”

“At least I’m not leaving with a guy Dad hates,” Channing said smugly.

“Channing,” Ryley gasped, pulling away from me.

“Sorry,” he grumbled to his mother.

“Eli, you will watch what you say from now on. Blake is my mate and husband,” Ryley demanded and it was my turn to smirk.

“What the hell did I do?” He exclaimed and she pointed at him.

“You know what you did. You’re a grown-as s man, start acting like it,” she growled and her father chuckled.

“That’s my girl,” he praised.

“Now, the plan is to track down all the buses leaving the pack. These two are going to bus jump for a few days before settling down. Look into bars and other businesses that would hire young pretty women on the spot. They will be looking for quick cash,” Ryley said and Aspen growled.

“I’m sorry, sweetie, I’m not saying this to hurt you, but it’s something I

would have done. How do you think I got through school? Tips are good when you are pretty,” she shrugged and I growled.

“Blake, stop. I worked the bar, not the pole,” she sighed. That didn’t makefeel any better.

“We will talk about that later.” I murmured.

“Blake, we have a lead,” Aiden said, I turned to find him looking at his phone.

“Where?” Aspen demanded. The only tI’ve seen Aspen like this is when it comes to Ryley. He must really care for this girl if he’s willing to go against me.

“Follow it, but Aspen, you will callat every turn. And you will listen to Aiden. This is what he does and he’s the best.” I told him firmly. He gavea nod before he cover and hugged his mother who had tears running down her face now.

“Be safe,” she mumbled.

“I will, Mom, I promise,” he pulled back and kissed her forehead.

“Bring them home,” she patted his chest.

With the bags already packed into Aspen’s truck, I stood beside my Luna and watched our oldest son drive away. If I didn’t have to deal with the council I would be going with him. Ryley let out a sob beside me and I pulled her tightly against me. I knew this was going to be hard for her. And we will be saying goodbye to Channing in a few days.

“Mom,” Channing called out to her.

“I’m okay. It’s a little overwhelming,” she cried.

“About what Aspen said,” he sighed as he approached us. He was going to say more until Ryley stopped him.

“You are building your own life and I’m so proud of you. Lily is so proud of you. We are going to be okay here, all of us,” she rubbed her lower belly

“We are so proud of you, son, and you will have nothing to worry about when you are back at school,” I told him, while he hugged his mother.

“Thanks, Dad.” He smiled as he held his mother tight. “There’s a gon if you’d like to watch with me?” He asked her and she sniffled. “And I will get you schocolate,” she chuckled a so b.

“I would love that.”

“I’ll go check on Evie and meet you in the living room.” He told her before heading into the house. I didn’t wait to pull her into my arms.

“I want you to rest, baby, it’s been a long day,” I mumbled, as I snuggled into her neck.

“I’m worried about Aspen. I don’t want to see him get hurt.” I kissed her temple as I held her to my chest.

too, but there’s nothing we can do but support him in this. Whatever happens, we are here for him. For both our boys.”
