“Mom,” I growled in warning.
“I’m just making an observation, son. She has a son but is unmarked. And that’s umon.” She
defended.
“It’s fine, ke,” Ryley reached over cing her hand on top of mine.
“I was seventeen when I found out I was pregnant. I didn’t know he was my mate.” She exined.
“And where is this mate of yours now?” She questioned. And I would have reacted but Ryley squeezed
my hand.
“He marked someone else,” Channing growled out. All our attention snapped to him. Aspen scuffed,
beside him.
“What a f**ken idiot! Was he blind or g*y because those are the only two reasons I could think of where
a man would leave a woman like Ryley?” Ryley let go of my hand and stood up from her chair. I
thought she was going to storm out but instead, she walked over to Aspen, leaned down, and wrapped
her arms around his neck before kissing his cheek.
“He is pretty dumb, isn’t he?” She smiled.
“But he did give me Channing so there’s my silver lining.”
“Yeah, I guess, he’s alright,” Aspen shrugged and Channing whacked him in the chest with the back of
his hand. Aspen let out a groan.

Ryley leaned over the back of the chairs in the middle of them, wrapping an arm around both of them to
pull them close.

“It’s okay, Channing. Sometimes people are only in our lives for a short time. And I got you.” She
mumbled kissing her son’s check.
“It’s okay, man, I can be your new daddy,” Aspen eximed after Ryley was making her way back to
her chair. She looked at me with horror before looking towards my d**bass of a son.
“That’s my mom, you f*ck,” Channing growled.
“Just because you came out of her doesn’t make her less hot,” he shrugged and Channing smacked
him in the chest again.
“Aspen,” Ryley gasped.
The table went silent before my father burst out inughter. My mother looked at him in
embarrassment. But I couldn’t help but hold in myughter.
“ir,” My mother scolded my father as Aspen joined in with hisughter.
“You are so lucky I love you,” Ryley chuckled as she walked back over to him to pinch his cheek,
before taking her seat beside me.
“Sorry,’ I mouthed to her and she brushed it off.
“Anyways,” she started once theirughter had calmed down. I still can’t believe my son would say that
in front of her.
“Elizabeth, if you are asking if he is still in the picture, he isn’t. We parted ways before I knew I was
pregnant.” Ryley exined.
“I apologize for my grandson’sck of manners. That is no way to

speak to a woman.” My mother said, scolding Aspen.
“Maybe he was a little blunt but I want him to be himself around me. As weird as thatment was and
I’m old enough to be his mother. I’ll beughing about itter.” She told her with a chuckle.
“See, a woman likes a man that can make themugh,” I heard Aspen say to Channing.
“Unless her name is Hailey,” Channing snickered and it was Aspen’s turn to hit him in the chest.
“Shut up,” Aspen whispered with a growl. I just shook my head.
The dining room was filling up with pack members and dinner was about to be served which I was
thankful for. If my mother spends any more time with Ryley I know she will push her too far. And my
chance of being with her will be gone.
“Ryley, why haven’t you joined another pack?” She asked as the tes were being ced down. She
thanked the server before turning her attention to my mother and her question.
“I didn’t want another pack. Walter had often offered me to join his pack but I just preferred to be on my
own.” She answered.
“Walter?”
“Beta Walter of the Shadow Moon pack. He was there for her and Channing.” I answered.
“Walter is a good man. I understand he lost his mate a few years ago.” My father said, joining the
conversation.
“She passed away almost eighteen years ago. I unfortunately didn’t get a chance to meet her.” Ryley
told him.

“And you and Beta Walter?” My mother questioned and both the boys cringed.
“Grandma, no, he’s old.” And my father scoffed.
“Are you saying I’m old?”
“You have grandma.” Aspen defended. And Ryley chuckled.
“Walter has always been like a father to me and a grandfather to Channing. There is nothing romantic
about our rtionship. And you are right, Walter is a good man.”
I was thankful everyone started to eat after that. This evening has had me on the edge of my seat; my
anxiety is through the roof. I can’t handle any more questions from my mother.
“So, Ryley, what do you think of the Luna position?” She just had to ask. I froze with the fork halfway to
my mouth. I looked at Ryley who was staring at me.
“What about the Luna position?” Ryley stammered, cing her fork down and her hands went to her
lap. I could tell she was nervous about this question. I suspected she was an alpha’s daughter and her
mate was also an alpha. By all ounts, Ryley should be a Luna.
“Well, would you be willing to leave your job to lead by my son’s side?” My mother rified. I don’t think
I’ve ever been more embarrassed in my life. How the hell could she ask such a question when I told
her, that Ryley and I were just friends?
“Ryley, you don’t have to answer that. Mom?” I quickly rushed out, not wanting Ryley to answer that
question.
“Luna Elizabeth and Alpha ir, it’s so wonderful to see you,” I cringed at the interruption. This night
keeps getting better and better.

“Gwen, it’s so good to see you,” My mother said, standing up to greet her.
“Bi*ch,” Aspen sneezed out, and my father snickered. I just shook my head before looking at Ryley.
She was wearing an unreadable expression. I would have grabbed her hand if she didn’t have them
hiding under the table.
“Why don’t you join us?” My mother asked and this dinner just went from bad to worse.
