Chapter Sixty-Two RyleyAfter reassuring Channing, I sent the boys up to the alpha floor of the pack house. Blake alreadyhad some of our things moved over since we couldn’t stay at the house until the front door andporch window were fixed. It made me uncomfortable knowing someone packed our stuff. And thatwas before I thought about where that stuff was being moved too. I’m moving in with a man, who isn’t my mate and I have no idea if this is going to work out. And nowI was being carried to the pack house to speak to the one person who I also wanted to believe I wasdead. And he wanted to speak to me and that made me nervous. “But now that the cat is out of the bag, you have no more excuses as to why you can’t be withBlake,” Lily said. She may be right, but it doesn’ t make it any less scary. I’ve never lived with a manthat way before. “Ryley, you don’t have to do this. I can personally remove him from my pack.” Blake said as hecarried me along a stone path leading from the hospital to the pack house. “I need answers, Blake. And this is the only way to get them.” Blake didn’t put me down until he was standing in front of the conference room doors. There weretwo warriors standing guard. Once I was back on my feet, the warriors opened the doors. Blaketook a hold of my hand before leading me into the room. More warriors were standing around theroom and behind Dorian and his ga*ma, Wes. I had met him a few times. They were seated at thetable with Blair sitting at the head and Luca sitting beside the former alpha. 0.00% ||| O 11:58 Chapter Sixty-Two tr 288 Vouchers Blake led me over to the side of the table where Luca was seated. Dorian’s eyes followed with every
step I took. I sat down beside Luca and Blake sat on the other side of me before resting his hand onmy thigh. My hands were trembling as I placed them in my lap. I tried to remind myself that this was abusiness meeting and I could do this. But being this close to Dorian was suffocating. “If this is a play to make me jealous, and beg for you back, it’s pathetic.” He scoffed, crossing hisarms over his chest. “I’m glad you think being happy is pathetic. And any decision I made involving Blake has nothing todo with you. I’m here for answers so I can move on with my life.” I told him. I watched him intentlyas he stared at me. Channing looks so much like his father, only getting my grey eyes. I still feel this connection to him, even though we are no longer mates. He has his chosen mate.She has marked him. And I should hate him, but I find myself unable to as I sit here. “When were you aware there was going to be an attack on my pack?” I asked him. I neededanswers and to get the hell away from him. “The night before the attack happened.” He sighed, leaning forward, and resting his arms on thetable. “So, the plan was for you to get close to me? To get me to trust you, so you could kill me and takeover the pack?” “It started when my father wanted information.” He answered. “Everything you told me was a lie. You never intended for me to be your Luna and to run the pack,my pack together. This was done so you could have a pack for you and her?” 27.29% O 11:58 Chapter Sixty-Two 288 Vouchers “Yes. There was never an us, Evelyn. Getting you to trust me was all part of the plan to take downyour father.” I closed my eyes, begging the tears not to fall. I knew this but it didn’t make it hurt anynovelbin
less when he admitted it. “You can cut the act, I know you knew about the shady s*it your father was involved in,” Dorianexclaimed and Blake growled. “Watch your f*cken tone. Remember you are in my pack, asking for my help.” “I knew about everything my father was involved in. But do you know what your father was involvedin? How he made all his money?” I questioned. “He made his money in oil. Everyone knows that, even you.” He retorted. “Interesting. I wonder if that’s why, he is still running the Crimson Lake pack and you are runningmine, instead of combining them and making you, alpha of both?” I pondered out loud. “What are you getting at?’ Dorian growled. “Why would you come here to ask for Blake’s help, when you could have asked your father?” Hegrumbled, crossing his arms over his chest again. “Is it because you didn’t want to look weak in front of your father?” He didn’t answer me, so Icontinued to the point I was making. “Your father was at my pack house when I told my father I was going to clean up his shady s*it afterbecoming Luna, my father was into drug sales and weapons.

And if I’m going down, then so are you.” I threatened. “I’m here to demand rights to my son, but it would seem you aren’t the naïve teenage girl you once
were. But I still don’t think you have proof and there’s a lot about the council you don’t know. So doyour worst,” he taunted. “} “Channing can decide who he wants in his life.

Walter had everything eeded to bury Dorian and his father. Without a word, Dorian stood up, leaving the room. Everyone else followed, leaving me with Blakeand his father.
