Chapter Fourteen
Ryley
The next morning, I ran with Channing to the training area. He has been so excited to start training and he even enjoys teaching the kids. Mr. Blake is also giving him a very generous wage. He ran over to Aspen who was standing in the field and they started to goof around. They were quickly becoming best friends.
I noticed Mr. Blake standing on the side of the field. I needed to speak with him so I jogged over to him, standing beside him, I watched Channing and Aspen. Aspen gave me a wave, which I returned with a smile.
“Good morning,” I greeted the alpha
“Good morning, Ryley.” He returned a greeting. I could feel his gaze on me as I watched the boys.
“I’m glad I ran into you. Since Channing has the weekend off, I’d like to take this Friday off,” I told him. I chuckled at the boys, before looking over at Mr. Blake. He was watching me intently.
“That’s not a problem, is it?” I asked, watching him, watching me. I
wish he was easier to read.
“What do you have planned for the weekend?” He asked.
“One of my old friends has a cabin up in the mountains by a lake. I try to get out there a few times a year, to visit.” I told him. He let out a low growl, crossing his arms over his massive chest.

“I’m not sure his wife would appreciate what you are thinking.” I chuckled, trying to break this awkward cloud around us. I didn’t expect to have to explain myself. And usually, I wouldn’t.
His gaze snapped to mine, and I could see him physically relax as he blew out a breath.
“Oh,” was all he managed to say. Did he believe I was meeting up with a lover?
“They are like grandparents to Channing. Walter has the boat out and wants to take Channing fishing.” I told him. I didn’t need to explain but I knew Channing would tell Aspen and the news would get back to Mr. Blake.
“That sounds like fun.”
“I was planning on leaving after Channing’s training,” I confirmed and he sighed.
“And you’ll be back Monday?”
“Yep, Monday morning. Unless I get eaten by a bear,” I said, nonchalantly. I could feel his gaze as I watched the boys again.
“Well, I guess I should go get ready for work. Thank you and have a good day,” I told him, before I jogged away, heading home.
“What’s up with the alpha?” I asked Lily.
“I think he was jealous,” she purred and I rolled my eyes. Even if he was, nothing is ever going to happen between us.
“Yeah, right? Just make sure you keep your legs tight so he can’t smell

how much you don’t want him,” she snickered.
“F**k off,” I huffed.
“Oh come on. This is the first guy that has made you all hot and bothered in a long time,” she retorted.
“Maybe, but he is an alpha and Channing’s best friend’s dad. He is off limits.” I told her, firmly. She let out a whimper before retreating. What about this alpha has her all hot and bothered? Sure, he is extremely good-looking, but I’m sure he would be more so if he would keep his mouth shut. Shaking my head, I headed into the house to get ready
