Ryley
I felt like shit after I got off the phone with Blake. I knew this was a stupid idea but I did it anyway and now I was paying for it. It didn’t take long for Blake’s warriors to show up and replace Dorian’s.
I was leaning my head back and willing myself not to throw up when Blake finally pulled up. I’m sure he broke speed records to get here as fast as he did. I turned my head before opening my eyes. I was still sitting in my SUV with Lisa sitting in my passenger side. I know my cheek looked bad but it was my head that was pounding to its own beat.
“Blake,” my voice came out as a whisper as I called out to him when I saw him rush around the front of his truck. My stomach twisted painfully with guilt, which wasn’t helping me hold down my vomit.
“Ryley,” Blake rushed over to me, taking hold of my cheeks.
“I’m okay, ” I breathed out.
“You are not okay. What the hell happened,” he growled. I winced as he ran his thumb over the cut.
“Still no Lily?” He whispered, resting his forehead against mine. I shook my head.
“Why the fuck would you come here without her?” He

scolded me, and he had every right to. I didn’t think about Dorian’s father’s influence inside this pack. I was just so desperate for answers.
“Blake, I’m sorry, I just wanted answers.”
“Evelyn, why don’t you have your wolf?‘ Dorian questioned, standing behind Blake.
“I would watch your fucken tone,” Blake growled, turning to face him.
“Blake, let’s just go home,” I pleaded as I grabbed his arm.
“Dorian, that’s enough. It’s been a long day.” Lisa said to her mate, not standing beside him.
“Did you let him mark you?” Dorian demanded. Blake took a step towards him, as I desperately tried to hold him back.
“Stop, Dorian. Lisa is right. It’s been a long day for everyone and Ryley is in no position to deal with this right now,” Jared his beta said, standing beside him. Blake’s men, including Aiden, stepped beside Blake, ready to fight.
I got out of the vehicle knowing that if I didn’t do something people were going to get hurt. I moved in front of Blake, facing him.
“Blake, let’s just go home, please,” I begged grabbing his hand.
“Did he do this to you?” Blake demanded, looking down at

“No, of course not. And I will explain everything but I need you to take me home, please, Blake.” He surprised me by wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me against his chest. I rested my head against his chest as I wrapped my arms around his waist. I know I fucked up but I needed him to calm down. But with both of them being alphas, I knew it wouldn’t be easy.
“Aiden, drive Ryley’s SUV back to the pack.” He nodded to Blake, before squeezing my arm.
“Connor, get back to what you were doing for tonight but tomorrow I want you back in my pack.” He commanded.
“And tomorrow we’ll call and discuss everything that happened.” Luna Lisa said.
“Yes, tomorrow, after everyone has had time to calm down,” I turned in Blake’s arm to look at Lisa. Our men may be fighting but I would like to think of Lisa as my friend.
Lisa approached us and Blake tensed behind me. I knew she would never hurt me. We had more in common than
both men knew. I unwrapped myself from Blake before giving Lisa a hug which she returned.
“We will talk tomorrow, with or without them,” I told her.
“You think if we can get a long, the men could,” she chuckled.
“Hopefully, tomorrow , ” I said and she gave me a smile and a nod.
“Thank you, Dorian.” I managed to say before Blake

scooped me up into his arms. I couldn’t even protest as the motion made my stomach churn. I leaned my head against Blake’s shoulder as he carried me to his truck.
I could hear Lisa and Dorian sharing words but I couldn’t make it out. I know, right now, their relationship is strained. She told me all about it when we were talking earlier in the day. She truly loves him and I hope for her sake he will forget about me.
Blake opened the passenger side door of the vehicle before placing me down in the seat. He rested his forehead
against mine, taking in deep breaths.
“Blake, I’m sorry,” I whispered and he sighed.
“Ryley, I don’t know what the hell you were thinking. I’m just relieved that you weren’t killed. Do you have any idea how stupid it was coming here without protection?” He exclaimed, taking hold of my cheeks so I would look at him.
“I know, and I’m sorry. I didn’t expect any of this to happen. I just wanted to talk to Lisa.” I told him.
“Next time, you come to me before you go rushing into another alpha’s pack. You are important to me, baby, and others will use you to get to me. I may not have marked you, but if anything were to happen to you, I wouldn’t make it. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I let anything happen to you,” I watched as tears filled his eyes as he spilled his heart to me. His words swelled my heart and the guilt of what I did twisted my stomach.
“I’m so sorry, Blake. Please forgive me?” I pleaded with him

before I brushed my lips against his. I needed him to know that I felt the same way about him.
“I forgive you, Ryley. And we will talk about this tomorrow. But first, let’s get home and have the doctor check you out. He still needs to check on your arm.” He said before he pressed his lips to mine. The kiss may have been quick, but he filled it with the love he had for me.
He quickly buckled me before closing the door. He rushed around the hood of the truck to the driver’s side. The truck roared to life before Blake took off down the road leading out of the pack. I took his hand in mine while he paid attention to the road. I know I’m going to hear about all of this tomorrow but right now I want to enjoy the calmness Blake’s scent gives me.
