Book Two Chapter Twenty-One Luna Ryley
Becky and I were wandering through a store in the mall. I was looking for some new work clothes since I will be heading back into the office soon. Not that these clothes will fit me for very long. I’m only going to work part-time but I have so much work to catch up on regarding the pack’s financials. But I’m excited to get back at it.
“Oh, this is cute,” Becky exclaimed for the tenth time in this store. I chuckled knowing Blake was going to have one hell of a bill. He assured her everything was covered under work since she was protecting
me.
“Oh that is nice,” I looked up from the rack of clothes I was shifting through.
“We need to do this more often,” she declared.
“Next store we can go shopping for Evie.” She let out a squeal of excitement.

“Gosh, I’m so glad I have a friend with a baby girl. I get to go shopping and she is just the sweetest baby,” she cooed. Evie is such a good baby. She may fight going to sleep but when she’s out, she’s out until morning.
I was halfway through the rack of tops when my stomach clenched and I could feel the vomit creeping up.
“Ryley, are you okay?” Becky questioned. I shook my head as I knew it would come up if I opened my mouth.

She immediately asked the associate for the washroom before rushing me back. It was only for employees but being the Luna, no one was going to deny me.
Becky held my hair back as I emptied my stomach. She rubbed my back until the heaving stopped.
“I should mind link Blake.”
“Don’t you dare. He will storm in here and make me leave. I’m having a good time besides this,” I told her.
“Has this happened lots?” I shook my head. I cleaned myself up and we exited the washroom.
“I’ve been nauseous, but this was the first time it came up. I was really sick with Channing.” I explained as we went back to our shopping.
“I’m going to pay for our things and then we can get you a tea.” I nodded.
I stood by the store entrance and looked at the people walking around the mall. I knew there were warriors everywhere and I was safe.
I noticed a young woman who was looking around flustered. She was pulling at her long blonde hair as she paced by another store. She looked upset and I felt drawn to help her. Without thinking I left the store and walked over to the woman, who was more like a teenager.
“Is everything okay?” I approached her. When she looked up at me her eyes went wide like she had seen a ghost.
“No, nothing,” she rushed out.
“Are you sure? My name is Ryley and if you need help, I can help you. With anything.” I told her. She swallowed and shook her head.

“Do you know my son, Aspen? You seem to be about his age.” I smiled
“I’m sorry, but I have to go,” she ran off before I could get another word
in.
“Should we go after her?” Connor linked me.
“No. She’s not a threat.” I replied.
“There you are, woman. Don’t do that. Blake will kill me if something happens to you.” Becky exclaimed, walking up beside me. I was still watching in the direction where the girl ran off. “Are you sure you’re okay?” She grabbed my arm.
“Let’s go get a tea.” She linked her arm with mine and we walked to the food court to the cafe. She had already given the bags to one of the warriors.
After we ordered, we sat down at a table where I could people-watch. Most people were aware of who I was to the pack but with so many members, it was impossible to know everyone. “Did the girl smell off to you?” I asked Lily.
“Maybe. She wasn’t a Luna wolf but I could smell a different scent on her.”
“I wonder if she had been around one?” I pondered.
“Are you sure everything is okay, Luna?” Becky placed down my tea before taking the seat across from me.
“Everything is fine, Becky. Thank you,” I took a sip of the tea and it helped calm my stomach.

“Are you going to find out what you are having?” I shook my head and she groaned.
“Just tell the doctor to tell me. I promise only to tell Luca,” she pleaded and I chuckled.
“You can’t wait another twenty weeks,” I teased.
“Meany,” she pouted.
I smiled as I sipped my tea and people watched. It was nice to be out, even under the circumstances.
“We should just storm into the council and kill every last one of those fucks.” Lily growled.
“And then our mate would lose his mind. I don’t doubt we could take them out but we have to be smart about this. There are still other packs that follow the council. We should work on building allies.” After we drank our teas. we headed to the other side of the mall where there was a baby and kids clothing store.
Did Evie need anything? No. Was I going to buy her new clothes? Yes. But mostly I was going to get a few bigger sizes since I’m not going to be up for shopping after the baby is born.
Walking into the store, goosebumps covered my b*dy as the hairs on the back of my n*eck stood up. Looking around, I didn’t see anyone suspicious.
“Keep an eye out,” I linked Becky.
“We should leave,” she said but I shook my head.
‘No, I need to get a few things.”

We walked around the store and the uneasy feeling went away until alarm bells were going off in my head.
“Someone is here,” Lily growled,
“Lily,” I yelled when she forced me to shift in the middle of the store.
I heard Becky screaming before I came face to face with a man I recognized from my time at the council.
Lily let out a murderous growl before she was coated in red.
