Chapter One Hundred Thirty-One
Alpha Blake
My meetings were finally over and now I was waiting in my office with Walter. He wanted to stay the week to help Ryley get
things ready for our wedding this weekend.
I was relieved when she mindlinked me during my last meeting, telling me she missed me. These last few days have been
rough. I know she felt guilty for what happened to Aiden but that’s his job. And I’m not sorry for protecting my Luna. Ryley should
understand this growing up with a Luna mother. I know her father would have done anything to protect his Luna and I’m no
different. I’m not losing another mate no
matter the cost.
“Did Ryley say she would be here soon?” Walter asked, pulling me from my thoughts.
“It’s been about an hour,” I replied, looking at my phone.
“Maybe she found another dress to try on,” he shrugged.
“Maybe,” I sighed.
“Now, did you two talk about anything wedding-related?” I pushed my l i p s into a line because the truth is we haven’t really
spoken since the party.
“I’m going to take that face as a no.” He chuckled.
“Honestly, the most she has spoken to me since the party was an hour ago when she linked me. And I’m not going to

apologize for trying to keep her safe.” I grumbled.

“I understand, Blake but you can apologize for how your actions made her feel. And she’s pregnant. Her emotions are going to
cloud her judgment. Her reaction may be irrational to you but seems rational to her. It’s a give-and-take. You should know this,”
he told him.
“I’m a little out of practice when it comes to being in a relationship. I haven’t been in one since Mia.”
“The basics are still the same,” he chuckled and I sighed..
“Blake you need to get to the east exit checkpoint,” Luca mindlinked me.
“Dad, where’s mom, I can’t link her and she won’t pick up the damn phone,” Channing stormed into my office with Aspen
following behind him.
“Luca you are gonna have to handle it, I need to find Ryley,” I answered him before closing the link. I tried to open one with Ryley
but I couldn’t find her. My heart raced as I picked up my cell phone off my desk, calling her. It went straight to voicemail.
“Blake, it’s Ryley.”
I don’t remember how I got into my truck, all I know is the boys and Walter were with me as I sped to the east exit checkpoint. My
mind was racing with scenarios. What the hell did Luca find and why can’t I link my mate? Gunner has been growling and my
knuckles were white as I gripped the wheel.

I pulled up just beyond the borders on the east checkpoint. My lungs constricted painfully as Ryley’s SUV came into view. Luca
was standing close by barking orders at the warriors.
“Dad, what’s wrong? Where’s mom?” Aspen asked me from the back seat. I struggled to breathe as I got out of the truck.
I rushed over to the vehicle, smelling a scent I didn’t want to smell. Blood. And I knew it was hers. I could smell myself in it. Our
baby.
“Blake, don’t touch anything. I’m getting a team down here to gather forensics.” Luca ordered before grabbing my arm and
stopping me.
“Blood,” I mumbled, unable to process what the f*ck was happening. I just spoke to her. We had made up. Where the f*ck is
she?
Gunner let out a murderous growl causing everyone to stop in
their tracks.
“Where the f*ck is my mate?” I roared, unable to contain my anger any longer. And someone better give me a goddamn answer
before I rip everyone here apart.
“Blake?” I heard Aiden. I snapped my head in the direction of his voice. He was standing behind Walter and the boys.
“I think I may know who took her.” I shook off Luca’s hold.
“Then you better start talking because if anything happens to my mate and pup, I won’t be responsible for what Gunner
unleashes,” I growled, my jaw aching under the pressure. I heard gasps all around but I ignored them. I couldn’t hide that she

pack needs to understand the severity of the situation. I’m not losing another Luna or a child.
“Blake, I can’t understand what you are feeling right now, but we are doing everything we can to find Ryley. When was the last
time you heard from her?” Luca questioned. I looked at him, seeing concern in my best friend’s face. We have been friends for
so long, that I sometimes forget that he is more than just my beta.
“Just over an hour ago,” I admitted.Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
“How did she sound?”
“She seemed in a hurry to get home. She’s been upset with the entire situation with Aiden.” I explained.
“Alpha, I didn’t mean to cause any problems with you and Luna. I just wanted to make it to my mate. She texted me about the
party on the burner phone I gave her. I knew the risks.” Aiden said, stepping closer to myself and Beta. I haven’ t spoken to
Aiden since that day. I told him to take a few days off to spend with his mate. If Ryley hadn’t given him blood, he probably would
have died. Taking everything he had found with him.
“I know you didn’t, Aiden. And Ryley knows the risks. She grew up an alpha daughter. But this shit with the council, then you,
plus being pregnant. She is under enough stress. I’m not blaming you for what happened. But I need answers now. I won’t lose
another mate.”
“I followed any lead I could on Eli, trying to find his pack and Ryley’s mother. That’s when I was taken. I can’t be sure but I think it
was Alpha Darius’ pack who ambushed me. I didn’t see the alpha but I did hear some of the warriors talking when

they thought I was knocked out.” Aiden explained.

“And what did you hear?” Luca asked him before I could.
“They mentioned a rumor of him looking for a Luna wolf. At first, I thought it was Ryley, but she was at the council so why would
they be searching for her if he had people inside the council?” Aiden continued.
“Right now, I don’t care about the why, just the where. Luca, get men together, we are visiting Alpha Darius.” I
commanded.
“Dad, we are coming with you,” Channing exclaimed. Aspen was nodding his head, standing beside his brother.
“And don’t forget about me. She may not be blood but she’s my daughter.” Walter added.
“Blake, we move out in one hour,” Luca relayed.
“Have them meet us there. If he does have my mate, no amount of his wolves will be able to hold Gunner back.”
