I stared at my son as I processed what he had just told me.
“You did what?” I yelled, standing from my seat. I moved around the coffee table where Channing was
sitting and started to pace.
“Baby, please sit,” ke said and my attention snapped to
him.
“And you just let him do something like that. How could you let him kill someone, especially his father,” I
screamed before my lungs constricted and it was hard to breathe. I know I should be grateful that he’s
dead and I never have to deal with him again but Channing shouldn’t have been the one to kill him.
And now he’s an alpha.
“Mom, it’s okay. It’s not that bad,” Channing defended.
“Not that bad,” I mocked.
“Are you just going to give up your dreams to be an alpha now?” I questioned.
“We haven’t decided anything yet, baby. We had been so worried about you. When the pack house
exploded,” ke’s voice faded as I was hit with a memory.
“I was in the basement and then I was in a bunker under the house. My father had it installed. But when
the explosion. happened, something broke through the roof of the safe

room and I needed to get out.” I recalled before looking at ke.
“It’s why you were found outside the pack house.” ke stood up and approached me.
“Yeah, it’s a blur and I don’t remember how I got outside,” I mumbled shaking my head.
“Mom, there’s more,” Channing murmured and I looked at him. He was sitting with his back to me. I
looked at ke.
“There isn’t an easy way to tell you any of this. I know I should have been the one to kill him but once
the pack house exploded, I couldn’t move. I knew you were inside, Baby.” ke confessed, pulling me
into his arms. He snuggled his face into my neck.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. This wasn’t the life I wanted for my son. I always knew he
would be a strong alpha. Apassionate alpha but I didn’t want him to feel forced into something he
didn’t want. I always believed I didn’t have. a choice. I was born to be Luna and I grew up believing that
was just my life and nothing was going to change. And I was lost when it did.
“Channing, what else happened?” I opened my eyes and asked my son. It’s better to get it all out and
then we cane up with a solution as a family.
“Dorian had killed his father and was also the alpha of his father’s pack.” I took a sharp intake of
breath. He’s not just the alpha of one pack but of two.
“Baby, please breathe. None of us knew what that fucker had done until after he was already dead.”

sank and my stomach twisted painfully.
“Something happened to Lisa and Chadwick.” My voice cracked as I remembered what Dorian had told
me.
“I’m so sorry,” ke said as he wrapped his arms around me. So much death for nothing. And it should
have been me and Channing. I may have been his fated but he had marked her. In all ounts, I was
the other woman. Guilt twisted my
insides.

“I need a moment,” I stammered as I moved out of ke’s embrace and towards the stairs.
“Mom?” Aspen reached out. He was by the kitchen.
“Just a moment,” I told him before I walked up the stairs to my bedroom. Nothing they were going to
say was going to make me feel any better about what happened. And it shouldn’t. I came back to this
world and people lost their lives. Good people.
“Mom,” Channing called out. I held up my finger to say I needed a minute, as I climbed the stairs.
As soon as I was in my room and the door was closed, I let out a scream before sobs consumed me. I
didn’t make it to the bed as my legs gave out and I rested my head on the side of
the mattress.
“Baby,” ke was beside me before I knew he was in the room. I know I said let’s get everything out
but this was too much. I didn’t expect him to actually do something like this. How could he?
ke scooped me up and sat down on our bed with me

straddling his waist. I rested my head on his chest. I don’t know how long I cried as ke rubbed my
back and whispered sweet words to me. None of his words made me
feel better.
“Please say that’s it, ke, because I don’t think I can take anymore?” I cried.
“Everything else can wait, Ryley. I have Aiden looking into finding Lisa’s family since her father was
killed in the battle. I will make sure they are remembered.” He answered as he held me tightly.
“I don’t think Chadwick was Dorian’s son,” I sniffed as I
remembered what Dorian had confessed to me before he left
me in the basement.
“Ryley, what are you saying?”
“It’s something Dorian said to me. He called Lisa a cheater and he imed Chadwick wasn’t his son.” I
recalled.
“Then Lisa found her mate before she agreed to be with Dorian. I’ll let Aiden know and he will find him.
And her family.” I nodded against his chest.
“My mom is here,” ke let out a sigh.
“She is and I wouldn’t let her see you.”
“I understand, ke. You don’t know her and truth is, I don’t either.” I confessed. My sobs had dried up
but my chest was still heavy.
“I’m not saying you have to see her, but she has been at the hospital every day demanding to see you
and Channing. I

wouldn’t let her see him either. I didn’t want her to take him away from me if anything happened to
you,” he choked on thest word and I looked up from ke’s chest to see tears in my alpha’s eyes.
These past two weeks have been hard on my mate and I wanted to take it all away. To help carry the
burden.
“Thank you for protecting us,” I whispered, moving to rest my forehead against his. I ced his hands
on my belly.
“All of us.”
