Thorns Of The Past.

Reunions And Decisions!

Blood makes you related! Loyalty and love make you family!

~earlier that day, morning, Bloody Snow Pack, pack house~

Becky’s pov

“Mom, please stop crying! I can’t take it, three hours now you haven’t stopped for even a second!” I say nervously and stiffen closer to Brandon, my one and only biological brother!

Yeap, I am sure your guess is right, they came, because I did call them last night!

I think I don’t have to mention that things got out of control immediately…

The first person I called was my brother, Brandon! I have a very special relationship with him, our bond was always very strong and he was my protector until I run away from the camp as he is only two years older than me.

My heart broke when I listened to his voice, it hasn’t changed at all and I have no idea how, but he understood it was me and he began crying immediately. Well, I left out a sob when he talked first and this is how he realized who I was and soon he began calling my name, I broke into sobbing and our parents listened to him and things got more intense…

My mother was screaming while crying hysterically, my father was ready to pass out and I had to sit to the closest seat as I was about to collapse.

It was just too much, I was feeling awful for leaving them suffering all these years and I still feel guilty although I explained to them everything and they said they have nothing to forgive me about!

They understand and they got shocked when they met Claire and Ryker, they loved them and the kids are very happy, I have never seen them so comfortable with people they don’t know, but this is my family so I guess this explains a lot!

To take things slowly, I think I have to explain what happened with not so many details…

So, as I told you before, I made it, I called my family last night when I calmed down, stayed alone and found the courage. I was feeling nervous, I couldn’t stop shaking, I was walking up and down like crazy and I still don’t know how I created Brandon’s number and I dared to call him!

At this point I have to say that I had his and my parents’ numbers all these years and it wasn’t difficult for me to learn how they had been doing, because I had access to our data from Evan, Mark and Megan. I was always trying to know how they had been doing and I knew that they were still in Gabriel’s pack, although they decided to be more isolated and they had been keeping distance from him for obvious reasons! Also, I knew that Brandon had found his mate about a year after I had run away and now they have a 15 years old daughter, Bianca.

And now back to what happened last night, because I am still a mess and I can’t think clearly like before and I need to calm down gradually.

So, after we all stopped crying and we managed to take a breath, I found my strength back and I talked to them, I asked from them to forgive me more than twenty times, I told them I have missed them like crazy and I never forgave them, that I had too many things to tell them and I had my reasons to run away like the way I did.

The three of them were not mad at me, they were relieved, they said that they never believed I was dead although Gabriel had felt my pain when I almost died 12 years ago and informed them immediately and they said they love me and all that matters them is that I am safe and sound.

Next, I told them where I am, I mean Evan’s pack and that Gabriel found me by accident two days ago and now I have no reason to keep on hiding. They didn’t react so well as for Gabriel and Brandon said that he had a big fight with Gabriel when Kaitlyn called and told them I had left from the hospital near the camp, as they all knew about me and Gabriel being mates and my brother almost killed Gabriel that day (I think I loved it and so do you now).

And after all these (I didn’t tell them about Claire and Ryker, I wanted to make them a surprise and I knew they would have gotten crazy, so I preferred to let them see the kids today) we spent almost all night talking, the four of us and it was just like it had been when Brandon and I were kids and we loved staying up until late just to spend more time with our parents. We were crying, laughing, telling each other how happy we are and I decided to listen to them and not say about me and my life, because I wanted them to hear everything today!

Yes, we had already agreed that they would come here early in the morning, the packs are not that far away and also, they couldn’t wait any longer and I’m glad about it! So, we stopped talking after about seven hours of talking nonstop and the first thing I did after that, was to run to the pack house (I was in mine alone) to tell the kids and the others about how it went and inform them about my parents and brother’s arrival!

All of them knew that I was going to call them and they wanted to be with me to support me, but I asked from them to leave me alone, I didn’t want anyone with me, I had to make it on my own and I needed some privacy. I know Ryker got upset as he has become more overprotective and hysteric with me and Claire, but I couldn’t do otherwise and he has to understand that he can’t take the weight all the time.

I know my kids (and mostly he) want to help me and stand by my side in everything, but they are grown ups, soon they are going to have their own kids and a new life with more responsibilities and they have to get used to it from now! I love their interest and adoration, but I have to show them I am capable of taking care of myself.

So, back to our topic! I did inform them all and the first were Claire, Blaze and Ryker that were awake waiting for me and they got ecstatic, I had talked to them about my parents and brother lots of times in the past and they loved them anyway and soon Evan, Mark, Megan and Kira joined us and they were excited about me!

The rest of the night was a small torture with the good meaning of the word as I was impatient and I am happy to say that all the others were in the same state of mind with me. Even some omegas woke up on their own and came down, we told them everything and they were so happy that began cooking and cleaning up the house and we were all on fire!

And we are at the best part now as I am going to tell you what happened when my other family arrived here!

Well…

I was already sobbing when I saw the car and Ryker had to wrap his arms around me to support me and prevent me from falling on my knees, my wolf had gotten crazy and Claire was also crying with Blaze hugging her and the others next to us.

When the car stopped just in front of the pack house, my mother jumped outside first with my dad following her and they froze when their eyes landed on the kids and me…

As you understand it didn’t take them long to realize what had happened and I run away the way I did and the continuing was chaotic!

Both of my parents run to me because I couldn’t move, they hugged me, we were sobbing, Ryker left me as I needed space with them, Brandon got out of the car and run to join us and Claire couldn’t hold back, so she kneeled next to me and my father pulled her in his arms and my mom did the same with Ryker that was by far more touched than ever.

I was crying in Brandon’s arms and after about ten minutes that to me seemed to be like ten decades, we calmed down, we stopped crying as we had run out of tears and I managed to introduce them all and Blaze was the first one my parents hugged as he is their grandson as well and Evan was the second.

Brandon thanked Evan for everything he has been doing for me and the kids all these years, he liked Megan and Mark, my parents adored them all and Kira was more silent than ever because she was too emotional and she felt Claire’s relief and couldn’t take it!

From that moment we are talking, I explained to them everything and as I mentioned before, I asked from them to forgive me and they said there is no reason to forgive me, because I did nothing wrong!

They understand why I disappeared although it killed them and all these years they had been suffering and they tried lots of times to find me, but I was very well hidden. My brother said that maybe I was right, because in this way I protected myself and the kids and I guess Ryker found his supporter as for Gabriel!

You see, both of them hate him till death and they would love to kill him, not to mention how possessive they are when it comes to me!

And I am leaving these two to tell you about my parents that have lost their mind with the kids and my mother is not leaving Ryker’s side with my father holding Claire constantly in his arms and with Blaze sitting next to him! I am sitting between Brandon and Evan all these hours and I can’t get enough of my brother and I am too overwhelmed with my mother doing everything more intense!

You see, she is crying and this is breaking my heart, I know she is the most emotional one, she always was, but now she is worse and this is breaking my heart, Claire and my father’s!

“How can I? I found you after almost 19 years and you are not alone! My baby has two babies!” she murmurs sniffling and Ryker smiles in sympathy and kisses her forehead.

God, I guess Helen (that’s my mom) became his weakness and she makes his heart melt! Now that I am looking at her, she is more beautiful than she was, she still looks younger and if you want to know how she looks like, let me tell you she is just like me and Claire with the only difference being her hair that is dived dark brown.

“Sweetheart, you know your mother, it is going to take her some time to calm down…” my father says quite frustrated yet touched as well and I nod smiling shyly.

Do you know what?

He is gorgeous! He was always like a God to me and now…

Oh! He is still the same, charming, discreet, confident and he looks a little bit older, but for a 57 years old man he is fantastic! He is tall with a great body, strong shoulders and arms, his face is sweet, his dark green eyes are shining and his black hair has many white hairs now.

“Chase, you are in the same state of mind with me, so stop getting angry with the way I am dealing with it…” my mother whispers annoyed and Brandon giggles while tightening his hold around me.

And as for him, he and my father look alike a lot, but his hair is total black and his eyes are not so green, it’s a mix of green and honey.

“Some things are never going to change…” he whispers wickedly and I nod laughing.

“Yes, and one of these is your brother! He is teasing us now, but you have to see him with Bianca!” my mom says frustrated and I smirk in understanding.

Oops… I know what she is talking about and I am dying that my niece and my sister in law are not here with us, because they went to Isabella’s (Brandon’s mate) parents in Alaska for one week and they are going to be back in about four days from now! I am sure Brandon is dying for Bianca, he always wanted to have a daughter and he was getting crazy in the idea, so imagine him now that he really has one!

“I am looking forward to see his behavior, don’t worry mother, I am going to have much fun with him…” I reply and Brandon groans blushing with the others laughing.

God, I feel amazing now! This is fantastic, I had missed them so much and from now on we can be together like before! They look so excited and the kids are shining, Claire is smiling all the time and Ryker is more relaxed than ever!

But…

Maybe this is going to change for a while, I still have to talk to him and everybody else about what Gabriel told me and Evan yesterday…

I had a discussion with Evan after Gabriel left and we decided to tell him together today. I wanted my family here as well, they live in the pack, they can tell us about its condition and maybe in this way Ryker is going to take it better, not that I am so optimistic about it, but anyway…

Ryker hates Gabriel so much that can release his anger on the pack and this is going to be the worse, the pack has nothing to do with what Gabriel did and they all need him! I know that it is going to be difficult for Ryker to leave from here that is his home and go to a new pack, become the Alpha and have so many responsibilities and have no many lives to take care of, but deep inside my heart I know this is the right thing.

Evan told me about Gabriel’s step daughter as well, as that b***h was worse than I had imagined and left him alone to take care of an innocent child that is not even his and I feel sorry, not for the pack, but for the girl, Hayley! As Evan explained to me, the pack knows that Hayley is not Gabriel’s biological daughter and there is no way for them to accept her as the next Alpha and this hurts me somehow!

The girl has nothing to do with what Michelle or Gabriel did, she chose nothing of these and Ryker is the rightful Alpha in this case, but what is going to happen with Hayley?

“We’ll see… You have to tell Ryker now! Once he decides, we are going to think about Hayley as well, I promise!” Bria says encouragingly and I smile to her thankfully.

Do you believe that she feels sorry and she is worried about Hayley?

I mean, she doesn’t care about Gabriel or Michelle, she really cares about her and I am very happy and relieved because I want to meet Hayley and Evan agrees! I don’t know why, but when he told me about her, I and Bria felt something different and strong for her, her name made my heart skip a beat…

So…

Okay, Bria is right! I have to talk to Ryker now, the sooner, the better and if we think that Gabriel is going to be here in about six days to hear Ryker’s decision, we have to hurry… Ryker is going to need the most time he can have to calm down and think about it logically.

I take a deep breath and look at Evan discreetly. He is already looking at me and from his expression I know he is thinking about the same thing and he is ready to help me.

Good! Do it Becky! You have one pack to save, your old pack, your own blood…

“Um… Now that we are all together, I would like us to talk about something important…” I state making all of them snap their heads to me with most of them getting worried immediately.

I have no doubt my expression is pathetic, I feel awful and nervous and I am sweating.

I feel everybody’s eyes on me and most importantly Ryker’s and I stiffen awkwardly between Evan and Brandon. My son is already suspicious and I give a short gaze to Claire and Blaze that seem more discreet and self collected, these two and Kira are going to help me more than anyone, if Ryker loses his temper for good.

“What is wrong?” my mother asks first (as usual) and I force a smile with Evan tapping my knee.

“Um… I told you that Gabriel left yesterday and…”

“Not again!” Ryker cuts me off furiously and leans forward breathless with a wild look.

SHIT!

This son of mine is just like his father when it comes to these explosive reactions!

Great Becky, you raised your son on your own for more than 18 years and he became just like his father that by the way didn’t know till two days ago, pathetic yet ironic!

“Why do we have to talk about that asshole again?!” he continues doing his best to control his rage.

“I agree with Ryker. We need to forget about that jackass!” Brandon states with only Ryker agreeing as the others seem to feel that I have something way too important to say.

“Maybe after Becky tells us about what happened… There is something we need to know, right?” Megan speaks up firmly and I nod biting my lower lip.

At least she is also on my side, her powerful aura is back and this is a very big support already!

“I agree, come on bro!” Blaze says smiling (quite nervously) and Claire nods with Evan smiling pleased.

What did I tell you? They are going to save me!

“Anyway… Say it!” Ryker says through his teeth and rests his back to the couch with a dark gaze and my mother takes his hands in hers.

How am I going to tell him when it is certain he is going to tear down the entire pack house the second he hears what his stupid father wants?

Pff…

Come on Rebecca! You have done way worse and more difficult things than this!

He is a young man, he must deal with it!

“Um… Gabriel told me that the next Alpha of the Blue River Pack is… You, Ryker!” I announce not wanting to delay it and the time stops for a while for all of us.

Megan, Mark, Kira and even my parents don’t look so surprised, I guess they were expecting something like this and they are calm, they are not even stiffening and Evan gives my knee a small squeeze.

My brother is quite annoyed, but he was somehow prepared, this is what I feel from the way he is looking at me and next come Blaze and Claire…

Well, Blaze has taken his serious, imposing look and Claire is pressing her lips together holding back a small emotional smile.

It’s like she is happy for him, the pack probably and it is not a shock to me… She has the sweetest soul there is and her opinion about Ryker is that he deserves the best, the most and if he becomes the Alpha, he will have it!

This child is always killing me with her kind soul!

And last but not least we have… Ryker!

His eyes have turned black, his jaw is clenching, he has already left my mother’s hands and he is shaking…

FUCK!

I hold my breath as he stands up furiously gasping and looks around him in frustration like he is trying to find a way out. He feels trapped and I hadn’t imagined this reaction from him, it hurts like hell, the worst for a mother is feeling that her child is feeling threatened.

Just kill me!

“Are you kidding me? What kind of a sick joke this is?! How on hell did you dare to tell me something like this?” he screams outraged after some seconds and I stand up instinctually ready to take some steps to him, but he steps back and raises his hands warningly.

I have never seen him so mad at me. I would say he hates me, if the way he is staring at me could kill me, it would…

What did I do? Am I losing my son because of Gabriel?

I am doing this for the pack, not him! I believe in my son, I know he can make it, otherwise I wouldn’t have agreed to tell him about it!

“Please, listen to me and…”

“NO!” he roars before I say more and it’s Blaze and Evan’s turn to stand up worried.

“Do you know me that little? I want to kill him and you tell me to go and help his damn, f*****g pack!? My life is here, my family is here, I prefer to die than go there and set my foot in his pack house! I don’t care about him!” he continues and gets ready to take a step to me, but Blaze gets in the middle and blocks his way.

I want to die right now! I can’t take it…

“Brother, calm down! Mom just wants to…”

“f**k OFF BLAZE! You are taking her side, HIS!” Ryker shouts and pushes him back when Blaze tries to touch him.

“I am going nowhere! If I have to leave from here, I prefer to become a rogue than go and live under the same roof with him! And I am out of here, don’t you dare follow me! I want to stay ALONE!” he continues louder and more outraged than before and storms outside the house before anyone of us reacts.

I exhale heavily one step away from collapsing with Bria moving restlessly in my mind and Evan helps me sit immediately. I am shaking and I can’t control my body, I am breathing with great difficulty, my heart is aching and my head is killing me.

I can’t believe what just happened, I thought he would be more logical… Yesterday he was more logical although Gabriel was here and now…

“Mom, try to breathe!” Claire says worried and stands up to walk and kneel next to me.

I bury my face in my hands when I feel some tears blurring my vision and Claire hugs me. Soon, my parents come to us and Brandon caresses my back.

This feels like hell, but I don’t care about myself, Ryker is what matters me now! I don’t want him to be in pain! What if he thinks I don’t want him or I don’t understand him?

We always had the best relationship and I won’t bear to lose him now, I can’t lose any of my kids! 

“Sweetie, don’t cry! It was too sudden for him!” my mom whispers and I hold back a sob.

Sudden or not, he is hurt and this is my own fault!

I should have known better…

“I thought I was doing the best for him and the pack! I love this pack, I didn’t mean to hurt him!” I mutter breathless and I leave my hands fall on my knees.

I feel like I am drowning, this is too much!

“But you do the best for him and the pack! Mom, he is not mad at you, he doesn’t want to accept Gabriel, he is going to change his mind, if we give him some time!” Claire says softly and caresses my cheeks with a warm smile on her face.

“He doesn’t look at it in this way… You know him…” I whisper gasping and she tightens her hold me.

He is going to hate me… I have almost lost him…

Damn you Gabriel! You destroyed my life once and you did it again now!

“I am going to talk to him, don’t worry! Relax, please!” Claire says encouragingly and Blaze nods with all the others agreeing with them and my dad clears his throat and I turn my head to him.

He is serious yet hurt, my father is not like this except if there is a very good reason and this is not so good, not positive at all!

“Honey…” he begins and my mother pulls back to give him space.

He takes her place next to Claire slowly and caps my face in his hands. My pain faints for a second with me losing myself in his eyes and he smiles melancholically, something matters him.

“You are right, the pack needs him more than ever and this is why…” he says and pauses to look at Brandon that nods firmly like he agrees with him before he continues.

“We are going to tell you everything you need to know, you must be aware of what is happening!”

~about two hours later, somewhere close to the pack~

Claire’s pov

I stop when I reach two meters from him with his back facing me and I smile emotional.

I knew he would be here, up this hill with the entire pack as for view! This is his favorite place, he likes coming here to think, but first he prefers to go for a long run!

He did the same thing and this time, he was for a run for about one and half hour and the last half an hour he is sitting here on some rocks only in his jeans.

He can smell me, he knows I am here, but he says nothing and it’s quite positive.

I was right I insisted to come here alone and I didn’t take Blaze and Kira with me!

We are twins, we share each other’s feelings and we complete each other in lots of things…

I have to tell him my opinion, I won’t pressure him, I just want to help him understand what is going to happen with any decision he takes.

Our grandparents and uncle told us everything and I am in great pain for the pack, my other grandparents, aunt Kaitlyn and…

Hayley!

They explained to us what happened with details and I felt too bad for her! Nobody from the pack wants her and she is locked in a room, she has no friends, she has her head bended all the time, she feels ashamed and the more I think about it, the more I want to meet her like mom!

My uncle and my grandparents told us that Gabriel doesn’t care at all about her and his parents are raising her and to be honest I find myself and Ryker luckier than Hayley!

I mean, I don’t care about what happened with my parents and her mother, but I was lucky, I had my mom, I had people that love me and Evan became my father, but Hayley…

She has nobody, not even Gabriel and as they told me, Hayley is the only one that loves him so much and wants him! She needed him and he was next to her physically but not emotionally and this is heartbreaking!

I can’t believe he feels no love for Hayley and he tries to convince me that he loves me after what he has done to my mom! I don’t know what to think anymore, but anyway…

Gabriel is the last person I should think about right now!

Ryker, my mom and the Blue River Pack come first…

“Come Claire! Don’t stand over there…” he says coldly breaking the silence and my wolf purrs.

He’s going to soften too soon, he can’t be distant for too long with me, he adores me!

I take some more steps to him and when I’m finally on his side, I stop and sit next to him on another big rock. I turn to him with a weak smile on my face and he keeps on staring at the pack right in front of us. I am sure he doesn’t want to leave, because this pack is our home, our shelter, these people are our family, our brothers and sisters.

“I wished you would come, I need you!” he whispers touched with a voice that cracks in the end and I hug him as some tears fall from his eyes.

This boy has a small kid’s heart… He can scream and break everything around him, but he is going to regret it when he calms down…

“I knew it, this is why I am here, this is my duty, remember?” I say teasingly in the end and he nods forcing himself not to cry.

He can’t deal with it, he hates getting emotional, he can’t face it alone, he wants to behave like a strong man, but he forgets that crying is not making us weak…

“You have never left my side! When I needed someone the most, you were always next to me!” he says and turns to look at me hurt.

You tell me?!

I am the younger between us, he was always the strong one, but supporting him was never difficult for me, I never stopped!

“I am your twin, your other half! I was with you before our birth and as long as I breathe this is never going to change… And I am sorry for yesterday… I know I was too frustrated and you were worried… I didn’t mean to make you feel bad…” I say with guilt and he smiles and wraps his arms around me as well.

“Don’t worry about it! You were right, I lost it, because that bastard was here and now… Is mom alright? I hurt her…” he says nervously and I kiss his cheek gently.

Our mom… Yes, he did hurt her, but they are going to talk and things will be solved between them! What matters is that we love each other like crazy!

“I want you to stop being concerned about it, when you are ready, you are going to talk alone with her… I came to talk to you, because I want you to know my opinion… If you want it of course!” I reply and he nods slowly with a defeated expression.

Good, I am glad he wants to know what I think, he is willing to listen and this is a hopeful sign. Ryker can soften when you tell him logical things, he is not selfish and if you give him the right reasons, he can change his mind completely.

Okay, go for it Claire! Help him and everyone else, that pack needs you…

“I know you hate Gabriel and I’m not here to discuss about him. Mom has the same opinion like everyone else… This has to do with the pack, because that pack is a part of ours, we have the same blood, both or our parents were born in that pack and they need you!” I begin and he stiffens ready to say something, but decides to hold it and signs for me to continue.

“If you accept to become the pack’s Alpha, you will help the pack, not Gabriel! Think about it and tell me, am I wrong or not? Forget Gabriel, leave him out of it! What is going to happen if the pack finds out about you and you deny your duty to protect and take care of it?” I say next and he lowers his head more hurt than before.

I was sure he would understand me…

“They are going to feel abandoned, helpless and this is going to make them weaker, the pack is going to be more fragile! They are going to be in great danger! Do we want this for our pack, our original pack? Our grandparents live there, our uncle, our cousin… Do we want them to feel like we are rejecting them?” I continue and he shakes his head negatively.

“It’s just that I don’t want to go there and live under the same roof with him and that b***h…” he whispers disgusted and I cap his face forcing him to look at me.

He is scared… For the first time in our life he isn’t so strong and Gabriel and ‘Michelle’ are not the only reasons. He forgets he is capable of everything and there is no reason for him to fail and be a weak Alpha.

“She left him about 16 years ago… She gave birth to a daughter that is not Gabriel’s, abandoned her and run away… So, forget about her and stop thinking of Gabriel that much… I know there is another reason you feel nervous and maybe… Insecure…” I say with meaning and he blinks his eyes surprised as for Michelle and tries to ignore what I said in the end.

Clever man my brother is…

“Really? So… I am the only one!?” he asks shocked and I nod giggling.

“Yeap, I would go, if I wasn’t a Luna and Blaze wanted us to go, I mean in case you would deny, but I can’t and Hayley can’t do this as well, the pack knows she is not Gabriel’s biological daughter…” I explain and he sighs in frustration.

Ops…

Hayley’s name pissed him off and this is not what I wanted! We mustn’t be mad or feel hatred for her, nothing is her fault and I don’t want to tell him about Gabriel not wanting her, because this is going to make Ryker hate him even more.

“Ryker, don’t try to avoid the reason you are so nervous… You think you won’t make it, but this is stupid, because if someone can be a great Alpha, this someone is you! We all believe in you, and so do mom and even Gabriel! Do you want to be a coward when you are by far the bravest young man I know?” I say avoiding talking more about Hayley (at least for now) and he shakes his head negatively with a very nervous look.

I feel awful for talking to him in frustration, but I know I am not wrong!

I don’t regret the fact that I am trying to help the pack, make Ryker the confident man I know he is and that I want to protect Hayley!

Ryker is my brother and I love him more than I love my own self, he has a special place in my heart and this is never going to change, but when he is wrong, I can’t agree with him and pretend he is right! He needs to stop thinking about Gabriel, because there are people that need him!

“I want you to think about it… You have six more days until he comes to know your decision, but before you make your choice, think about these innocents’ lives and our grandparents because the four of them love us and are going to be hurt although Gabriel’s don’t know about us yet. They always loved mom, she grew up next to aunt Kaitlyn and they never wanted Michelle… And last but not least, think about yourself and not me, mom or anybody else! Are you going to feel alright with yourself if you deny helping them and go against our nature?” I say after some seconds in silence and he clears his throat immediately catching me off guard.

Huh?

I thought he would say nothing, he is the silent type of man usually, I mean when he is confused and now he lifts his head and looks at me in the eyes quite touched yet determined.

Has he taken his decision? Can it be? So soon?

“Claire…” he murmurs and moves his right hand to caress my cheek with his watery eyes locked on mine.

Shit, I am going to cry as well!

“I love you very much, thank you for being my sister and for believing in me! Thank you for being the logical voice in my head when I am lost and desperate, stubborn and angry… Thank you for your existence in my life and I want to ask from you to never leave me, because I just took my decision and it’s final!” he continues and I open my eyes widely touched yet surprised.

Oh my…

He wants to give me a heart attack, he had never told me all these things, it’s the first time and he couldn’t make me feel prouder! I just want him to be happy, just like he wants me to be…

“Did you?” I ask breathless running out of patience and he nods.

“Yes and you are right! I can’t betray them, can I? I can’t turn my back on our own blood!” he says and I smile amused.

YES!

“So, you…” I whisper and stop ready to sob with him smiling as tears fall from his eyes again.

My heart is about to explode, Ciera is howling enthusiastic and I can’t feel the rest of my body.

Ryker is the great man we all believe, he is going to make an impressing Alpha, I know it!

“Yes sister…” he begins and kisses my forehead.

“I accept to go to Blue River Pack to take the Alpha’s title after Gabriel Jones!”

************************

Hello everyone!

This is the chapter number 11 and I am sorry I got late and the other books are going to be late as well (I mean not in five days but in one week), but I had a small accident, I injured some of my fingers by accident and I needed a small break!

Anyway, everything is good now, tomorrow I am updating Cleo's Heart Decision, on Friday His Rejected Queen and on Saturday Alpha's Abused Mate so get ready!

Also, I would like to tell you that there is a problem with the comments, I can't see many of them, I don't know what is happening, I know that there are 3-4 in this book as I have problems with all the other books as well ( I think this is the number since the last time I checked), but I can't see them anymore, so I can't reply to them yet but I want to ask you if you can! I am planning to send an email to the techicians, the support team, but I would like to know if you can see them or not!

And now back to our book and what do you think of chapter? How do you feel about what Becky said? What do you think about everything that happened? What about her announcement and Ryker's reaction? How do you feel about everything Claire said and feels? How do you feel about her discussion with Ryker and her sympathy for Hayley? What do you think about Ryker's decision? What is going to happen next?

I am very curious to know your opinions and thoughts and I need to thank you for everything. I hope you liked this chapter and you love the story. Everything is getting explained gradually !

Plese if you want to help me from now that is still the beginning and you are looking forward for more commend and let me know your opinion and thoughts.

I will see you again in the next chapter (unless you are reading my other books). Until then stay safe, smile and have fun!

Love you all very much,

                                 Marie!
