Ryley
After my talk with Channing, I decided to go down to my office. I know I couldn’t work on anything pertaining to the Orion
account, but I had other things on my mind. I had my house listed, and Walter had started the expansion of the cabin. And since
I’m not working, I should get my finances in order. I’ll be able to speak with Walter tomorrow as he will be here for Channing’s
hockey games, this weekend.
Then I will have to get him registered for school. And I still had to speak with the insurance company about replacing his car. I
had a long list of things to do and I hoped it would take my mind off of everything that had happened. After Channing and I were
official members of the pack, I needed to give Lisa a call so we could come up with a plan. I wasn’t looking forward to having my
boyfriend on the phone with my ex–mate. I cringed at the word boyfriend. It sounded so juvenile.
“He’d be your mate if you would just let him mate you,” Lily huffed. I pushed my lip into a line. I wasn’t in the mood to deal with
this right now.
My name was called when I was unlocking my office door.
“Isaac, what are you doing here?” I asked, turning my head to see him standing outside Blake’s office.
“Dealing with the aftermath of you quitting,” he answered

walking towards me.
“I would apologize but it’s not my fault. You left me no choice, Isaac.” I told him, entering my office. He followed me in and I
sighed as I went behind my desk.
“I left you no choice? My father hired you with a piss poor degree and you just expect to make partner on one of the biggest firms
in the country. Did you think for one second anyone on the board would give two fucks about a girl with a night school degree?”
He retorted and I growled..
“If you think for one second that I give two fucks about your opinion about me, you are sadly mistaken. Your father gave me a
handle their accounts. Not you, not anyone on the board, but me. I was the only one who could figure it out. This girl with the
night school degree. So you can take your fancy education and shove it up your ass.” I snapped back. Fuck, that felt good.
“Now, get the fuck out of my office,” I ordered.
“You only have this office because you got on your knees.” He exclaimed. There was a loud growl at my office door and
I knew it was Blake.
“Isaac, you will apologize, now,” He demanded, as he and a few other men stepped into my office.
“I don’t apologize for speaking the truth,” he told him and I chuckled.

“You’re only pissed because I wouldn’t get on my knees for you.” The men standing around Blake snicker, as Isaac
glared at me. He knew it was true. He has been pursuing me since I started working for his father.
“Issac, I would advise you not to say another word to Miss Halliwell.” A man told him.
“Everyone out, now,” Blake demanded. His voice caused goosebumps to cover my body, and I forced down the shiver.
As Isaac walked past him, he grabbed his arm. Blake looked like he wanted to murder him. And I smirked. Isaac would think
twice before speaking to me again.
“You will apologize for your disrespect towards my future Luna,” Blake growled. When Isaac nodded, Blake let him go and he left
my office, closing the door behind him. Blake and I were left alone.
“Future Luna?” I questioned.
“I didn’t say how far in the future. But why the hell were you talking with him?” Blake asked as he walked over to me. I was sitting
behind my desk now.
“It was more like arguing. He was in the hallway when I was trying to get to my office,” I shrugged. He leaned against my desk,
beside me.
“I don’t want you to ever speak to him again. This is a legal battle. He’s trying to say that since we are together that is the reason
I ended the contract. So, I could hire you for less

of what I was paying his firm.” He sighed, and I took his hand in mine.
“Well to be fair, I would cost less. You consider, if you were to just hire me, I would cost about twenty percent of what you were
paying the firm. It would be cheaper.” I told him.
“Then I’ll just have to pay you one hundred percent of what I was paying the firm.” He said, squeezing my hand. I stammered at
his suggestion.
“Blake, you can’t be serious? That’s too much.”
“It’s what you deserve, Ryley. I’m sure you have worked your ass off and had to work your way up to the twenty percent he was
paying you. He’s just pissed that he lost such a hard-working employee.” He pulled me closer, my chair moving between his legs.
“But that’s a lot to pay for one person. And I’m not here for the money. I stayed for you and the boys,” I confessed. He leaned
forward, crushing his lips to mine. My moans filled my office as he picked me up out of the chair moving me to my desk. He
settled himself between my legs, not breaking from the kiss.
“Do you Evelyn Ryley North swear your loyalty to this pack and alpha?” He mumbled, kissing down my jaw to my neck.
“I swear,” I moaned, gripping his shoulders. He pulled away, gripping my cheeks as he stared into my eyes.
“Cut me,” I held out my hand. He smiled and my heart melted. I felt like putty in his hands. He took hold of my

hand before cutting my palm with a claw. I winced, as I waited for him to cut his. He then placed his cut over mine, our blood
mixing as the link to the pack was formed.
I groaned as I closed the link in my mind. It has been so long since I had to deal with a mind–link and the headache that went
along with it.
“Are you okay?” Blake asked me, removing his hand, he ran his tongue over my cut.
“I’m better now, alpha,” I purred, wrapping my arms around his neck.
“Fuck, I love it when you call me alpha,” he groaned before he crushed his lips to mine.
