Ryley
I was on the verge of a panic attack when there was a quick knock on my office door. I didn’t have time to answer before the former alpha walked in. I quickly got to my feet and wiped away my tears.
“Alpha Blair, I’m sorry about my departure from dinner. I just needed a moment.” I rushed out.
“Ryley, I’m not here about dinner. I do apologize for my mate. She can get
a little excited over her son’s love life.” He said and I chuckled, giving him a smile, which he returned.
“Now, come sit with me. I’d like to speak to you,” He said, standing by the small couch in the sitting area. If this was a few weeks ago, we would be sitting on the floor.
I moved around my desk and sat down beside him. He turned his body towards mine and I did the same. Blake was the spitting image of his father. And Aspen was the baby version of the two of them. The only thing Blake has of his mother is her amber eyes. Which Aspen also has.
“I would like to apologize for ruining your family dinner. I didn’t mean to intrude,” I said before he took my hands in his. I jumped not expecting his touch.
“I would never hurt you, my dear. I suspect you have had a hard life. And you don’t have to tell me but I want you to know that I appreciate everything you are doing for my grandson. He has missed out on so much. And being close to anyone who he can view as a mother is one

of those. Aspen doesn’t trust easy but you seemed to have won his heart.” He said, squeezing my hands. Tears pr**ked my eyes again.
“And I also noticed the way you look at my son.” He added and I sighed.
“I love Aspen. He is such a good kid. Blake was right when he said I would lay down my life for his. But I can’t be with your son.
”
“Aspen sent me the video of your words with that wench. I haven’t seen that level of love for a pack in a long time. And I don’t know what happened between you and your son’s father, but I do know my son is a good man. I understand you are leaving at the end of the summer?” He asked me.
“Yes,” I nodded.
“I’m not saying you have to join the pack but I think you should give my son a chance to prove himself to you. Ryley, you have had to be independent for so long, you have forgotten how it feels to be loved and protected.”
“But,” I stammered, trying to hold in my so*s. How can a man I just met, read me so well?
“Don’t say no, Ryley. Just open yourself up to the experience, to the opportunity to be a part of a family. Take some time to think about it. And don’t worry, I’ll make up an excuse for your absence.” He smiled at me and squeezed my hands. All I could do was nod. If I tried to speak, I knew I would burst into tears.
“I hope we can do this again, soon.” He said before he stood up. I reached out and grabbed his hand before he had a chance to leave.
“Thank you,” I whispered. He smiled down at me before squeezing my hand. He then left my office, closing the door behind him.
