Blake’s Pov

I couldn’t sleep, I wasn’t even sure why, but I just couldn’t find it, so instead of just lying there, I decided I was going to take a walk.

Surely everyone had gone to bed now, it was that late, so I didn’t expect I would bump into anyone. At least, that was what I told myself when I grabbed my shawl and wrapped it around my shoulder before heading out of the room.

Ridge wasn’t in the pack house tonight. According to Roman before he called and told me himself, he had a business dealing out of town.

As I walked into the small sitting room in the chamber, the door to Julia’s room pushed open and she looked at me. I frowned, wondering how she knew to come out at that moment.

I didn’t make any noise or sound, so I wondered what gave me away.

“Can’t sleep?” She asked and I nodded.

“I just feel restless.” I said and she smiled.

She lifted her shoulder in a shrug. “It’s probably because Ridge isn’t in your bed.” She said, a teasing smile on her face.

I rolled my ey

    Ridge’s PovPacing, I gritted my teeth as I thought about it. How could Henry’s men be so careless that they lost Erin? I had been thinking of releasing her and letting her go but only because I planned to out someone on her, and now, she was gone with no one knowing where she went. “I need answers, people. Who the fuck let her door open?” I heard Roman asked no one in particular. The room was thick with tension, the kind that made every man in the warehouse avoid meeting my eyes. My wolf growled low inside me, restless and furious. Erin was dangerous; not because she was strong, but because she was clever, slippery. If she vanished without a trace, it wasn’t by accident. Someone helped her. Or at least, that was my thoughts. This had happened before when someone freed the delivery guy and allowed him to attack me. “Henry!” I barked, my voice echoing off the stone walls. He stepped forward quickly, bowing his head, his face pale. “Alpha,” he answered. “Tell me again,” I demand

    Blake’s Pov“She's hiding something all right, trust me, I know.” Julia said as she finally sat down. She had been standing right there at the window, looking out at God knows what. She had just returned from the bakery and it was the first thing I thought to tell her. Why wouldn't I talk about it? This was the bane of my existence and marriage. The fact that she was dragging this out was just messed up, and more like messing with my head. “What do you think that is?” I asked her. “Well, it's probably one of these two. She's doing that to punish Ridge, or she's trying to hide the fact that he’s not her child’s father.” I rubbed my arm, before folding them across my chest, thinking about that. “Then we have to do something about it. I just don't know what.” I said. Julia nodded. “Yes. I mean, I know you said Ridge said he’ll make her, but can he really do that? Except he's going to compel her as the alpha, and that won't sit well with the elders, using his title and positio

  • The Bridge To The Alpha’s Human Mate   One Hundred and Fifty Three

    Blake’s Pov All I wanted was to make some food and take it to Ridge for lunch because it’s been a while since we ate together or since I cooked for him. I carried the tray of food, and gently rested it against my bump before walking from the kitchen to the elevator. His office was not on the ground floor, and walking the stairs wasn’t an option for me at this time. The elevator soon stopped and I walked down the hall to his office, but then as I reached there and raised my hand to knock, I heard the words that made me stopped. I could hear Ridge’s voice, and Finn, and he was asking Finn why he needed Clarissa’s sample. At first, I was lost, but soon I realized they were talking about the DNA testing Ridge wanted to do. I stood there listening for a while, before I heard Dr. Finn saying his goodbyes. Quickly, I rounded the corner to leave the doorway so that he wouldn’t meet me there standing and eavesdropping. That wasn’t a good trait to find on a person anyway, not to talk

    Ridge’s Pov“Come in,” I said, looking up from my computer. We had just finished talking on the conference call with the two alpha’s Roman and I thought that Ryder was planning to attack to talk about joining forces, and we had been able to finalize what we were going to do. The door of the office opened and Dr. Finn walked in with a grim look on his face. He took a bow and greeted us. “Good afternoon, alpha, beta.” He nodded and Roman nodded as well. “Hello, Finn.” I greeted and waved him to a seat. “Good afternoon, alpha, beta,” he repeated, settling into the chair I pointed to. His expression didn’t ease, and that alone told me this wasn’t a courtesy visit. “Finn,” I said again, leaning back in my chair. “You don’t usually come all the way here unless it’s important.” Roman folded his arms, studying him closely. “So, what’s going on?” Dr. Finn exhaled slowly, as though bracing himself. “It’s about the testing you want to do, Alpha.” I frowned, looking from him to Roman. “

    Blake’s Pov It took everything in me to hold back my words to Clarissa as she spoke about me losing one of my babies, like it was something I had done on purpose. I stood there staring, saying nothing. All I did was put a hand on my stomach, like I was trying to not allow my surviving baby hear her. She was just so spiteful, but I didn’t blame her one bit. All I did was ask her why she was still here instead of being at Elaine’s with Honey, her own child, and all this started. I had came downstairs to get my juice, the one Julia had helped me made before she went to my bakery to help out. Ridge was busy in a meeting with the elders, so I was on my own. “You should just give that away when he or she arrives,” she said, pointing to my stomach. “You sure can’t nurture an alpha’s offspring anyway. You’re not built for this life.” I shook my head, finally walking to the fridge to grab the bottle of juice Julia had left there for me. I picked it out, then stood there looking at it

    Blake’s PovTrying to find sleep, I rolled and tossed and turned on the ned, hoping that it would come soon, but it didn't. All I could think of was Ridge’s call earlier today, telling me… actually, asking me if I knew who Matteo’s father was. He had asked for a reason, and when I told him I didn't, and asked him why, all he said was, he would let me know when he was sure. Honestly, I wasn't sure I knew what that meant, but I didn't say much. I had nothing much to say about it anyway. It wasn't as if I knew about the life my mother led after she left. Although, I couldn't stop thinking about the question, it made me realize that it was a possibility that my father wasn't his father. When Mom came here and told me about him, about how he was sick and then his age, all I could derive from the story was that she had taken him in before leaving the house, so I assumed it was my father’s. But now, with Ridge’s question, I knew there was a possibility of that not being true. Eit
