It’s been a few days since I found out Eli and my mother were alive. I was supposed to start workingagain but it was hard for me to focus on anything. My mother still hadn’t reached out and I don’tknow how to contact either one of them. My past was catching up to me and I didn’t know how todeal with it. I wished for years for my mother to be alive and prayed she would find me. Now it wasreal and she still hasn’t reached out. How do you not want to see your child? If it was me withChanning, I would have been here finding him not sending my second in command.
I sighed, sitting at my desk, I massaged my temples. I have a never–ending headache and I feel soexhausted. Even sleeping beside Blake, wrapped in his scent hasn’t given much rest. Guilt twistedmy stomach as I thought about Eli. He was my best friend. We grew up together and we spent somuch time together. He was my first kiss. I always believed he would be my mate but when I metDorian I couldn’t help but be attracted to him. And now I know why, he was my mate.

my mother does have a pack then it would be mine as well. How would Blake and I make it work if Ihave to run a pack?
I slammed my laptop close unable to concentrate on anything but my problems. Blake wanted me tochange my last name and now I feel like such a burden. And I can’t get my feelings or thoughts inorder. I’m a wreck.
I took deep breaths, trying to pull myself together. I know I could never let my mother see me thisway and I’m sure my father is rolling in his grave. I was raised to be a strong, intelligent woman. Idon’t show weakness. The public only sees the side of me I want them to see.
The reality hit me like a brink. Would my mother be proud of me? I wanted to share so much withher. She has missed so much of my life and Channing’s. But is she ashamed of me? Is that whyshe hasn’t reached out? Because I had a child with the enemy?
My body trembled as tears fell down my cheeks. I betrayed them. I betrayed my entire pack. I wassupposed to protect them but I failed. I failed my family and my best friend.
I jumped up from my chair, it hit the wall behind me when the door to my office was thrown open.Men in council uniforms filled my office.

“Miss Evelyn Ryley North?” A man asked. I crossed my arms over my chest refusing to answer.

“He is being informed as we speak. You are to come with us to the council.” The same man spoke.
“Never,” I growled. He motioned to his men to grab me but I fought back with everything I had.
I punched a few in the face before a fist hit me in the nose and I hit the wall behind me.
Two men grabbed me and threw me against the wall while another cuffed me with silver around mywrist. I refused to scream, the burning was painful, taking the air from my lungs.
“You have no right to do this!” I spat out when the men turned me around to face the one in charge.
“Luna wolves belong to the council.” He growled as I fought the hold of the men.
Blake was standing in front of the house yelling at someone when I was pushed out of the packhouse.
“Blake,” I yelled, his attention snapped to me. There was murder in his eyes as he looked at themen around me.
“Blake, please,” I begged through the link, trying to pull myself away from the council’s men.
“Jerry, let my mate go, now,” Blake roared, turning back to the man he was yelling at when I wasshoved out of the pack house. All the men flinched at his anger. They were playing with fire andBlake was about to burn them all.
“Blake, you know I can’t do that. Even if she was marked, she is still a Luna wolf and she isn’t yourfated. I’m sorry but she needs to come with us.” I heard the man say.
