    “Dad, what was that about?” Aspen asked me. He was standing in the kitchen as I hung up on Alpha


    Dorian.


    “He wanted to know about mom?” Channing said,ing down the hallway.


    “My ga*ma let it slip that I was sending my beta because I was taking care of our Luna,” I told them. I


    knew it was going to happen. Even though Ryley isn’t my Luna yet, she is still a Luna.


    “What did you tell him?” Channing growled.


    “I told him, she was fine. Nothing more. And I would never put her in danger, Channing, I have already


    commanded everyone who has seen her heal Aspen to secrecy. No one will know she is a Luna wolf


    unless she tells them.” I reassured him.


    “I understand that, I just don’t want that f**ker in her life.” He scoffed.


    “I don’t either but that isn’t up to us,” I told him.


    “Dad, just tell her not to see him. Problem solved.” Aspen said.


    “That’s not how rtionships work. I don’t want him in her life and I can tell her my concerns but I can’t


    demand her not to see him. I’m not going to push her away because I can’t handle this situation. And


    both of you need to remember that she loved him. Channing you came from both of them. He’s her


    fated mate. And as much as the idea of her even speaking to him, kills me inside, I can’t order her not


    to.” I exined. I

    looked at the clock and saw it was time for them to head to training. I did try to talk Aspen into resting


    but he assured me he felt great.


    “Get to training and we will all talk about thister,” I told them before heading back into my room to see


    Ryley.


    “Is everything okay?” Ryley asked as I stripped off my sweatpants before climbing in beside her. I


    pulled her against me, her head on my chest.


    “It was Dorian. Connor, my ga*ma who is at his pack exined I would be sending my beta in my


    absence and he called to question why. “I answered.


    “Oh,” she sighed, tracing her fingertips along my abs.


    “Does he know about Aspen?” She mumbled.


    “No. I told him you were okay and if you wanted him to know more, you’d tell him.” I answered, running


    my fingers through her hair.


    }


    “I’m sorry, ke, I never wanted you to be involved in all of this. And he has no right to call you


    demanding to know about me or Channing.” I squeezed her close. She needed rest, not to worry about


    her ex. I’ll handle him.


    “Ex’se with the territory, Ryley. And I’ll always protect you. You don’t have to do this alone.” I


    kissed the top of her head before she shifted to look at me.


    “Thank you,” she smiled before I kissed her lips.


    “Now, you need to rest.” I gave her a pointed look.


    “ke, I’m fine,” she told me before she yawned and I chuckled.

    “You may be fine but you still need rest and I have the day off to spend here with you.”


    “Okay,” she grumbled, resting her head on my chest again.


    It didn’t take her long before her breathing evened out and I knew she was asleep. I think she only


    stayed awake to ask about my conversation with her ex. And he’s lucky I’m being patient. In my


    younger days, I would have ripped him apart for even looking at her.


    “We still can,” Gunner growled.


    “He’s Channing’s father. He may not want to know him now but one day he might.” I sighed.


    “I’m saying he’s our ke. Alphas don’t im pups that aren’t their blood but I im him as ours. Both


    of them are ours.” He said. I was unable to question him further as my phone rang. I grabbed it off the


    nightstand and answered without looking at the screen. I didn’t want it to wake her.


    “Alpha ke,” I answered.


    “How’s our Luna?” Luca asked, chipper.


    “Will you shut up,” I groaned, trying to untangle myself from Ryley so I wouldn’t wake her.


    “Hold on,” I told him. I ced the phone down and got off the bed. I pulled on my sweatpants before


    covering her with the nket: When I was done, I picked up my phone and left the room, closing the


    door quietly behind me.


    “Luca?” I said into the receiver.


    “Boss,” he chuckled.

    “Where are you?” I asked, rolling my eyes.


    “Driving to meet Connor. Apparently, the alpha was unhappy about you sk**ping out today,” he


    commented.


    “He was more upset when he heard me in bed with Ryley,” I groaned and heughed.


    “F**ken, awesome,” he eximed.


    “What did you tell Connor?” I sighed.


    “I told him that you weren’ting because something happened with the Luna.” He answered.


    “Why would you say Luna? No one is to know she is a Luna wolf.” K growled.


    “I didn’t say Luna wolf, I called her Luna. As in your Luna.” All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    “Are you trying to start a war?” I questioned.


    “There wouldn’t be a war, ke. And I’m sure the look on his face would have been hrious to see.”


    He chuckled.


    “As funny as you think this is, I don’t want him to know what is happening in our lives. So, can you


    please keep your mouth shut,” I ordered.


    “Mum’s the word. But you still didn’t answer my question.”


    “Ryley is resting. And I mean it Luca, not a word.” I reminded him.


    “I got it. And ke you are quite grumpy for a man gettingid,” he chuckled.

    “Call me when you have news,” I told him before ending the call. I pinched the bridge of my nose as I


    took a few deep breaths. As much as I enjoy pushing that alpha’s buttons if she was my fated mate, I


    wouldn’t be able to let her go.
