Epilogue
Alpha Blake
It was Evieâs first Christmas Eve and the cabin I had built for Ryley. was completed. The boys were back from school for the holidays and we were all at the cabin. Walter and his family were staying in theirs, and we were planning on having Christmas dinner together. Even my parents were staying with us. Itâs not like we didnât have the room. I made sure this cabin would be big enough for us and all our future pups.
Ryley and I have been married for over a year, and Evie is eight months old. Iâm not sure where the time has gone. As soon as she was born, months turned into days. And now, our first Christmas ast a family.
it was
I looked around the decorated living room as I waited for Ryley to come back down. She was putting Evie down as I started a fire in the fireplace. The boys were hanging out with Walter and a few of his grandsons so it was just going to be me and my wife this evening. I was looking forward to some much-needed alone time with my mate.
Our pack has grown with the addition of the two packs. Work has been. crazy and then we have a baby to care for. The boys are both eighteen now. Aspen is training to be an alpha while Channing is in premed on a hockey scholarship. He could go pro if he wanted but his heart is set on being a doctor. And we are so proud of both our boys.
âFinally,â Ryley huffed as she flopped beside me on the leather couch. She snuggled into my side as I wrapped an arm around her.
17:25
âFighting the sleep?â I chuckled.
âI knew she was tired and she knew it too, but she didnât want to close her eyes.â She exclaimed and I laughed. Our daughter didnât want to miss anything. She was the cutest handful. She had my dark hair but her motherâs stormy grey eyes. She was the perfect mix of both of us.
âTomorrow, the boys will be here to help. You know how much she loves her brothers.â I squeezed her close, kissing her temple.
âBlake. I spoke to my mom earlier and she asked if she and my dad could come out the day after Christmas. I told her I would talk to you about it. I didnât want to give her an answer if you had plans for us.â She sighed, resting her head on my shoulder as we watched the fire.
Ryley has been working hard to have a functioning relationship with her parents and her friend, Eli. Iâm not his biggest fan, mostly, because heâs in love with my wife, but I trust her. They have come a long way and have given Ryley the space she needs to heal.
âAs long as youâre okay with it, baby, Iâm okay with it. I donât want you to feel like you have to since itâs the holidays.â I replied.
âI want them here. I want us all to be able to be a family. Somedays are easier than others but itâs getting better.â She shrugged.
âThen invite them. It will be good to spend time with all our families.â I mumbled, kissing her hair. She moved so she could look at me.
âThank you, for everything, Blake. I love you so much,â she leaned in and kissed me. I smiled against her lips.
âHow about you show me how much you love me?â I pulled her into my lap so she was straddling me. I slammed her down, grinding my aching c ock into her core.
Ð
âHold that thought, I have a present for you,â I groaned as she kissed me before climbing off my lap.
âBaby, canât it wait?â I grumbled and she chuckled as she walked back from the tree. It was in the corner of the living room, decorated to perfection.
She smiled as he handed me a small wrapped box with a big gold bow. I sat forward and Ryley sat down beside me.
âBaby, you didnât have to get me anything. I have you and our babies. I have everything I could ever need or want.â I told her.
âPlease, just open it.â she pouted.
I sighed before opening the top of the box. I looked at her before looking inside the box again. She was grinning as I stared in the box.
âBlake, please say something?â Ryley pleaded as I couldnât form words. I just stared at the photo of an ultrasound.
âYouâre pregnant,â I breathed out,
âIâm pregnant, daddy wolf.â
âYouâre pregnant,â I exclaimed as I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her on my lap again. My lips found hers as I kissed the most perfect woman and she was mine. She was giving me another pup.
âSo, youâre happy?â She questioned, pulling her lips from mine.
âHappy? Iâm ecstatic. I wasnât expecting this, but itâs the best present you could have given me.â I kissed her again.
Ryley rested her forehead against mine. We were both breathing heavily and I just wanted to take her upstairs and claim her all over

again.
âI love you, my alpha,â she mumbled, kissing my forehead.
âI love you, my luna.â I brought her lips to mine again before I stood up from the couch, to carry my Luna to our bedroom.
My phone rang out and I groaned. Who the hell would be calling met
now? I sat back down and pulled it out of my pocket. Lucaâs name. flashed on the screen.
âWhy is Luca calling?â
âAnswer it, there could be something wrong?â Ryley insisted..
âLuca?â I answered.
âBlake, Iâm sorry to interrupt, but we have a situation here,â my heart sank and my stomach twisted.
âWhat happened?â
âThe council is here.â
To be continuedâ¦.
