Chapter Forty

Ryley

The boys and I made it to the cabin before noon. I felt better just breathing in the cool air of nature. This is the place I needed to be to clear my head. Walter wasn’t able to stop by until later this evening to take the boys fishing. So after everything was unpacked I decided to go for a walk around the property. And the boys came with me.‘

They walked ahead as we walked around the cabin to the back. I was also going to check the fence for any damage. The pack knows to stay away but this will make me feel better. I’ve never had any trouble here and I wasn’t going to start now.

“Ryley, are you okay? You’ve been quiet.” Aspen asked me, concerned. He slowed down so he was now walking beside me. Channing was typing away on his phone ahead of us.

“I’m okay. Just glad to be out in nature again.” I told him.

“I like it out here as well,” he said. We walked in silence along the fence as I checked to make sure there were no gaps.

“So, Ryley, can I ask you something?” Aspen asked. I looked over at him and he had his hands in his pockets. He seemed nervous as he looked anywhere but at me.

“Of course, you can. What’s up?”

“Well, my grandparents are coming to visit and I would like for you to have dinner with us?”

“Blake’s parents?” I questioned. And he nodded. Blake never
