All Chapters of THE HIDDEN LUNA: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Alpha Blake I probably shouldn’t have brought Ryley to meet Jeremy, but he is one of my favorite chefs. He has also been encouraging me to date. Jeremy is a great guy. Mia had asked me to invest when we were first mated. His restaurant has repaid my investment ten times over but I haven’t taken a penny from him, I also didn’t put the business on the list because the investment was in Mia’s name and now Aspen’s Mia was very passionate about this place and her older brother. After getting Ryley’s drink, I was thankful when she turned around on the bar stool. I needed a moment to readjust myself. I thought I was playing earlier but she’s a da*n tease. The way she leaned over the bar and played with her lips. The way her voice purred. F*ck me. There’s no way she has ever paid for a drink in her life. Even dressed in her tight jeans and a plain black t-shirt. Then my mood turned sour. Just the thought of another man having her attention angered me. She’s mine and no one touches what’s m

Alpha Blake Ryley’s mood changed as we stood in line to pay. I could hear the whispers of my pack about the woman I was with. I gritted my teeth and held my tongue. I didn’t want to embarrass Ryley. But I had a feeling she could hear them. And when she paid the bill, I was angry, not at her but at my pack who said she was a gold digger. The total was over eight hundred dollars and that was nothing to me. I may be an alpha but I am also a smart businessman. We walked out to the vehicle in silence, the opposite of how we were in the store. She teased me about getting lost and I may have been grumbling but I loved every minute of it. And I already missed the carefree Ryley. After everything was packed away in the back of her SUV, I beat her to the driver’s side. “Blake, I’m driving,” she scoffed. “Nope,” was all I said, hopping in. I chuckled when I heard her growl before she stormed over to the passenger side. She slammed the door after she climbed in. “You alright?” I asked her.

Alpha Blake I entered the store ready to kill. I watched Ryley through the windows of the store as I pumped the fuel. And those f**kers were following her around, harassing her. It was a good thing they were human and they backed off as soon as I stepped between her and them. I smiled as they all were whispering s*it about me. I could smell one of them on her neck and discreetly rubbed my cheek against her to cover up his scent with my own. Her smelling like another male, infuriated me. “How do you think she felt with you smelling like Gwen when you told her nothing was going on with you two?” Gunner growled. “I should have changed,” I told him, frustrated with myself. I wasn’t surprised when Ryley told me things like that happen often. She’s gorgeous. But she shouldn’t have to put up with it. No means no. And I instantly knew she was too good for any of them. These guys walked out behind us and I pulled her close. The game was over but I didn’t want to let her go. “I’ll drive a

Alpha Blake Sitting outside with Ryley, watching the sunset, felt right. It felt natural. Like it’s always been us. Nothing was awkward as we sat in silence, sipping our coffees. The only thing that would make this better, is if she was sitting in my lap, wrapped in my arms. And our boys were here. “How would you play with Ryley if the boys were here?” Gunner questioned. ‘Not everything is about sex, Gunner. Yes, I want that, but with the boys here it would feel like we are a family.” I explained. “Family? That’s a nice idea, Blake. We were only a family for a few days after Aspen was born. And Aspen deserves to have a family. But how are you going to convince Ryley to join our pack? Whoever Channing’s father is, she is terrified to have him find them,” Gunner pointed out. I knew all of this. I wish she would trust me enough to keep her safe. To keep them both safe. I don’t just want Ryley for a night. I would make her my Luna tomorrow if she would allow it. The thought of anythi

Ryley I awake to the birds chirping, after leaving the window open last night. I always preferred sleeping when it was cooler. And the fresh cool air helps me sleep more soundly. I was sleeping in Channing’s room after finally convincing Blake to take my bed. I realized with the boys growing, I will have to get bigger beds. I may also need to talk with Walter about the extension we always talked about. Another bed and bathroom would be nice. When the boys come back from fishing this evening. I’ll have to talk to him about it. I stretched before throwing back the blanket. I shivered as the cool air hit my skin, causing goosebumps to cover my body. I quickly pulled on a sweatshirt and a pair of leggings before pulling on a warm pair of socks. By mid-morning I’ll be changing into something cooler but the mornings are always so crisp. I walked out of the room to find Blake drinking his coffee. His still- damp hair told me he had showered. I shivered at his lack of clothing, just in sho
