    After ke announced to the council I was carrying his child, chaos broke out. The head councilman


    demanded that all the blood they took from me be tested. ke wouldn’t let anyone get close to me as


    he held me tight. He kept apologizing but I knew it wasn’t his fault. He had to protect his son and pack.


    And I’m thankful he was able to protect my son. I don’t know who told the council about my wolf but


    they were going to


    pay.


    I must have fallen asleep in ke’s arms. The next thing I knew I jumped, panting, grabbing on to him


    for dear life. I didn’t want him to let me go.


    “Baby, it’s okay. I’m just taking us home,” ke mumbled. I sighed in relief. He leaned down and kissed


    my forehead. I realized I was sitting in the passenger seat of his truck.


    “Home?” I whispered, tears filling my eyes. I never thought I would ever see ke again, let alone get


    to go home. I get to hold my boys again. My heart swelled with emotions, relieved this was finally over.


    ke buckled me before closing the door. He went around the front of the truck and climbed in behind


    the wheel. The truck started with a roar before ke turned up the heat. Before buckling himself he


    reached into the backseat and grabbed a jacket of his.


    Heid the jacket over me like a nket. Breathing in his

    scent, my body rxed into the heated seat. ke buckled himself before taking my hand in his. He


    squeezed it as he drove away from the council building.


    “How are the boys?” I asked him. We haven’t talked much since he told the council I was carrying his


    child. I’ve been so overwhelmed with everything that I just needed him to hold


    1. me.


    “They have been worried about you. Channing finished out the summer hockey season, but he wasn’t


    happy to y without his biggest fan in the stands. Both have started school as well,” ke sighed and


    my tears were back. I’ve never missed a game before this. Guilt twisted my stomach painfully at the


    pain I caused my son. I should have been there for him.


    “Hey, don’t you dare me yourself for this? He doesn’t me you and neither do I. And as soon as I


    find out who told the council about your wolf, I will kill them,” ke growled, and he squeezed my hand


    tightly.


    “Thank you for keeping Channing safe,” I rested my head on the seat, turning to look at ke. I


    squeezed his hand a few


    times.


    “He’s mine, baby. Just like you are mine, and I know you would have done the same for Aspen.” He


    quickly looked at me before turning his eyes back to the road.


    “Always.”


    “Ryley, I want you to know that I never gave up. I was either in court fighting with Dorian over custody


    of Channing or I was at the council demanding to see you. I’ve never been more scared in my life. I


    thought I was never going to see you

    again.” He confessed bringing my hand to his lips.

    “I can never repay you for what you did to protect Channing and me,” I told him.


    “You can agree to be my Luna and mark me,” he shrugged. He sounded uncertain of himself.


    “I’d be honoured,” I said watching him physically rx as he brought my hand to his lips again. He


    didn’t say anything, but he didn’t have to. I knew after I had rested and gained some strength back, he


    was going to be mine.


    I must have fallen asleep again. The feeling of safety will do that. Lily was still softly snoring in my


    mind. I knew she needed her rest. Being forced to submit under silver for a month could not have been


    easy. Plus she was keeping our pup alive. The council could have killed our child and I was going to


    make them pay for what they did to me.


    “Baby, we’re home,” ke mumbled kissing my forehead. Being with ke was home to me. I love our


    boys and they will grow up and have their own lives but ke is my life now. He’s my mate even


    though I had no idea I could have a second chance. They are so rare. Almost as rare as a Luna wolf. I


    smiled at the irony before opening my eyes to look at ke.


    “I love you, so much.” I smiled, meaning every word I spoke. He leaned over the console, resting his


    forehead against mine, taking hold of my cheek. His touch sent tingles through my body.


    “More than anything, baby,” he mumbled before his lips. brushed against mine.


    “If you didn’t need rest and to get checked by a doctor I would

    take you right here in my truck,” he sighed. I giggled, knowing he was holding back. He wanted to mark


    me but didn’t want to hurt our baby.


    “I want you just as much.” ke pecked my lips before getting out of the vehicle. I watched him as he


    walked around the front of the truck. It was dark now, and I covered a yawn with my hand as he opened


    my door.


    “Mom?” I heard Channing and my tears returned. The happiness and relief were overwhelming as


    ke helped me out of the truck. ke stepped to the side and my boys came into view. A sob broke


    through as I motioned for them both toe to me. My dam broke as I wrapped them both in my arms.


    I felt so small sandwiched between them.


    “Boys be gentle,” ke scolded. They both pulled away and looked down at me concerned.


    “I’m okay, I promise,” I told them, wiping away my happy tears.


    “You smell different,” Channing pointed out, his nose scrunched up.


    “Were you two doing the nasty? You smell like dad,” Aspen eximed. ke wrapped his arms around


    my waist and pulled me back against his chest.


    “Let’s get inside and get your mom settled,” ke said. I gasped as I looked behind the boys. I didn’t


    even realize ke wasn’t parked outside the pack house.


    “Wee home, baby,” ke kissed my cheek.


    “Thank you, ke.”

    whatever they were doing, Cara spent most of the time with me and my mother. Sadly, Cara’s mother


    died during birth and my mother raised Cara like she was her own daughter. Other than that, we were a


    pretty happy family.


    Or so I thought.


    As kids, there was stuff you didn’t notice because, well, you were busy beings kids, right? My father,


    Gaetano, was always a busy man but he did remember to spend time with me from time to time, not as


    often as I would have liked, but it was better than nothing. And then, one day, Cara and I were being


    nosy as always and tried to eavesdrop on my parents because it sounded like they were fighting. We


    had sneaked down the stairs to get a better look and listen to what was going on but we couldn’t hear


    anything.


    But what happened next shocked us both.

    My mother, Jacinta, pped the fuck out of my father that night. We stood still, shocked to witness


    what had just happened before we ran back to our shared room, and pretended to be asleep so we


    wouldn’t be caught.


    The next day, my mother had our bags packed and we left. I remember crying so hard that day


    because Cara wasn’ting with us. My mother tried to take her with us, but Uncle refused to let her


    go. It pained my mother to leave Cara behind like that and I was sure she had her reasons to leave.


    However, the reason for that was still unknown. My father and I didn’t stay in touch after that even


    though I tried to call him because I missed him, but he never once called me. He then changed his


    number, and I got the message.


    We moved to Florida, while my father stayed in California. I
