Chapter Twenty-Five Ryley I was well aware of Blake’s hand on my thigh. Oddly, I found it comforting. I know I shouldn’t let what the others say about me bother me, but it’s not them I’m worried about. I don’t want Blake to think I’m like that. I didn’t sleep my way to anywhere. I earned my job and everything I have. Walter has helped me financially but I paid him back for everything he has ever given me. It’s a weird feeling. I never cared before. Not even about all the gossip around the office. But with Blake, I don’t want him to think I’m here for a position in his pack or to be his Luna. I’m here to work. And Channing just happens to be friends with the alpha’s son. And I’m not going to tell Channing who he can and can’t be friends with. Frankly, Aspen is a good kid. And Channing has a good judge of character. “F*ck, them,” Lily growled in my head. I let out a sigh. “Even Blake, Ryley. If that’s how he thinks of us, then f*ck him. You don’t need people like that in your life. You are a wonderful, caring person. You work hard, raise Channing alone and you still find time to help single moms. If he can’t see how amazing you are then he’s more st**id than he looks,” she ranted. “Thank you,” my heart swelling with love. “You’re welcome. Now I would like some chocolate.” “I’ll go get you some,” I told my wolf. I asked Blake if he wanted anything before heading inside. I almost 0.00% ||| <

I giggled as I remembered telling Blake he needed a bell, so I wouldn’t lose him in the store. I moved around the store on a mission to find chips, sodas, and chocolate. I wasn’t paying attention to the other people in the store as I walked down a small aisle filled with candy and chocolate bars. I picked up a few bars before I heard a cat call whistle. I looked over to find three guys standing at the end of the aisle, watching me. I furrowed my brow before turning back to my mission. “You’re a pretty, little thing, aren’t you?” One purred, moving closer. “Not interested.” I said before walking over to a cooler to grab a couple of bottles of soda. “Oh, don’t be like that honey. You don’t even know me. I could be the best thing that’s ever happened to you.” He followed me while I paid him no attention. This isn’t the first time this has happened and it won’ t be the last. “I doubt that,” I told him before grabbing a bag of chips. I then walked over to the cashier to pay. “Why don’t I take you out back and show you how good it can be?” He whispered in my ear as I waited for the person in front of me to pay for their items. I felt dirty with his breath on my neck. “Oh, how romantic? How could a girl refuse that,” I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes. The guy growled. The bell above the door rang and I heard Blake. “Baby, there you are,” he came over to me. I stepped forward to put my 31.43% 11:54 Chapter Twenty Five 283 Mouchers items on the counter and Blake quickly stepped behind me, wrapping an arm around my waist. I could hear the guy grumbling behind me.

“Sorry, babe. I couldn’t decide what kind of chocolate I wanted,” I shrugged. Blake rested his chin on my shoulder. The guy behind the counter was watching us and then he would look at the guys behind us. Blake was bigger than all three of them and they were human. They didn’t stand a chance, not that I needed Blake protecting me. When the cashier said the total, Blake whipped out his black card and tapped it before I could tap mine. I looked over at him. “My treat, baby.” He kissed the side of my mouth. His lips barely touched mine but it was enough to cause my insides to tighten. “Aren’t you just the sweetest,” I purred, kissing his cheek as he leaned over and grabbed the bag. His other hand interlaced with mine and he pulled me out of the store. I let out a breath when I was finally outside. Men like that suck. Only stepping back when a big, strong man steps in. I could have killed all three of them without breaking a sweat. “You okay?” Blake asked, squeezing my hand. “Yeah. I’m used to sh*t like that,” I told him and he growled. “You shouldn’t have to be used to that sh*t,” his voice was low and threatening. “You’re right, but I could have taken them. But thank you for your help,” I told him, squeezing his hand. He looked down at our interlaced hands before looking at me with a smile on his handsome face. “Anytime.” 65.92% ။ 11:54 Chapter Twenty Five “Oh that was so exciting,” Lily purred. 99.10% ||| Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
