“Dad’s right, Channing. And Ryley needs to rest,” Aspen told him. I helped her into the house and up the stairs as the boys followed behind us. I could feel her turmoil. Whatever his Luna told her was affecting her. And now, I want to know why I wasn’t informed of the Luna’s

“Mom, can I get you anything?” Channing asked her, grabbing her shoulder. She reached up and grabbed his hand.

“A water, please,” she yawned, and I sat down beside her. After Channing returned with a bottle of water and we were all seated, that’s when Channing asked her again.

“Mom, what did she want?” She opened her eyes to look at him.

“Did she threaten you?” I demanded, pulling her attention from her son. She looked at me, placing a hand on my thigh.
