When I told Blake I didn’t hate all alphas, I wasn’t lying. There’s something different about Blake.

Maybe my opinion will change when I see him running his pack. But personally, he seems like a good

guy. And I like Aspen. He’s a sweet, respectful, young man and I enjoy having him around the house.

Even when Channing is in his room doing schoolwork, we keep each other company.

When the cabin came into view, I was in awe. Every time I come out here, it’s like coming home. This

place feels like home. And if we didn’ t have so much in the city, I would have moved us out here.

Walter had everything updated a few years ago, so we have wifi, a new hot water tank, and a well

drilled for water. The cabin was mostly gutted and everything was upgraded. The outside is made of

large cedar logs, that are at least fifty years old and solid. There are two bedrooms and one bathroom.

The kitchen, living room, and dining room are one room and the bedrooms are located at the back. A

large covered porch wraps around the entire cabin with a great view of the lake behind the house.

Walter not only owns the cabin but forty acres of land surrounding it. The land that borders with the

pack is fenced. It’s the real reason the pack doesn’t bother us.

“This place is beautiful,” Blake breathed out, parking in front of the

cabin.

“It’s my favorite place. I spend as much time as I can up here. It’s even more beautiful at night under

the stars.” I told him.

“We’ll have to stay up so you can show me,” he said and I looked at him.

“I could keep you up for days with stories of the constellations.” I chuckled.

“Is that bad?” He asked, confused.

“I guess that depends on you,” I said, shaking my head.

“Let’s get everything unpacked,” I chuckled, climbing out of the vehicle. I closed the door and took in a

deep breath. The air just smells different around here. The weight of my responsibilities doesn’t feel

overwhelming.

“You okay?” Blake called out. He was looking at me from around the back of the SUV. He was

gathering some of the bags.

“Just enjoying the fresh air,” I told him.

“Can

you get the door? Then you can go back to the fresh air and I’ll bring everything inside,” he said.

“I could probably get the door but you have my keys,” before I got the words out, he had tossed the

keys to me and I barely caught them.

“A heads up would have been nice,” I scoffed, walking to the front door.

“Just keeping you on your toes,” he chuckled, following behind me. He was carrying most of the bags,

from our grocery shopping.

“Trying to make one trip?” I furrowed my brow as he shrugged. I unlocked the door and pushed it open

for him.

“I tried but I couldn’t carry the cooler and the bags,” he huffed, causing

me to giggle.

“I’ll grab the rest of the bags and you get the cooler.”

When everything was put away and I had texted the boys. Blake and I were sitting out back on the

porch watching the sun dip behind the tree line. We both had a mug of coffee, a cool breeze blowing,

despite it being summer. The weather was always cooler up here.

We sat in comfortable silence. I’ve only ever had Channing with me. This having a male friend was new

to me. I have work friends, but never someone I would hang out with over a weekend. I would rather

spend my time with Channing. I missed more of his childhood than I would like to admit.

“But that kiss? Can he be more like a friend with benefits?” Lily purred.

“It was a peck at most, Lily. Don’t get ahead of yourself,” I told her.

“Then why did he scent you?” She questioned.

“Scent me? What are you talking about? We were playing, acting if you will.”

“Ryley, Blake rubbed his scent over the other guy’s scent. He didn’t like us smelling like another male.”

She giggled, excitedly and I rolled

my eyes.

“Then why was he smelling like someone else? I’m sorry, Lily, but you are reading this all wrong. And I

don’t play that game. I won’t be with someone who is out playing the field.” I sighed and she let out a

whimper. Guilt twisted my stomach.

“I know you crave a mate, Lily. And I’m sorry. I’m sorry I can never be with the wolf you were destined

to be with. Maybe we can find

someone after Channing is in college. But I can never be a Luna. And I’m sorry, you’re stuck with me.” I

told her.

“Okay,” she whispered, retreating.

I know the years without her mate has been weighing on her. But he has already claimed another. It

took him a week to get over me and claim someone else. She wasn’t his fated because I was. And

even if he hadn’t claimed another, I would never be able to forgive him for what he did to me. What he

put me through. He broke me and it almost cost me my life. It should have. And being with anyone

scares me. This time I have more to lose than before. I have Channing. And I don’t know if I could ever

give myself over to another again.
