Somewhere in Mexico

The lady had his back and was on a call

"When are you going back there?" The voice of a woman speaks over the phone.

"Mum, I don't think I should go back there yet. Everything is a disaster in the Kingdom, Ryan needs to know about me"

"My dear but it has been years, don't you think they have forgotten us?"

"Mum, they can remember you and not me, but they didn't forget us mother. Ryan can never forget me, Three Masquerades."

"Will Lisa allow you back in their lives? Remember we left suddenly, and we didn't leave anything for Ryan and Lisa, or tell anyone where we were going"

"I know mum, but relax everything will work out"

"But don't go there not prepared. Are you going to take him?"

"Mum, he goes wherever I go, and you just enjoy your life and not worry about us"

"I don't want to lose you or him"

"Mum, they will need my help and if I die then don't take him away from Ryan, Ryan will adopt him as his own and then Nick will love him even more."

"But are you not giving Ryan too much responsibility?"

"He is my friend and Godfather of my son, so he is the second father of my child and Nick the third"

"Are you not deciding for them?"

"No I am not mother, I know Ryan, he will also decide this"

"I will do anything that will make you two happy, even if it means sacrificing my happiness"

The lady recalls what Ryan said when they were young

"Okay let me leave you in peace. So what are you going to say when they ask about the father?"

"Mother I am not ashamed of my son. I'll call you later", and with that, she hangs up and swings on her chair

"la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la", she sings

"Ryan just wait for me my friend; I'll be there soon"

In the pack house office

Bes:

"My love, I know you love your brother a lot and I also know that you are stressed but Bes you should balance everything. Right now you are being weak, and our enemies are seeing that there will attack soon enough. Please try and balance your Alpha duties and family problems", I hum and look at my beautiful Luna, I am in my wolf form, and I can hear every word she is saying

I love this woman with all my life and right now she is taking care of every duty an Alpha should. I have added my responsibilities to her, and I don't think anytime soon I will be ready to lead and look after my Pack.

"Ryder, I know you are in there. Sofia is worried for you, there are people out there who want you to mess up so that they can take that chance and win the Alpha position over". I sniff her neck, and she smuggles closer to me and brushes my fur.

"Bes, I want my husband back. Can you shift back so that I can talk with our Alpha?"

"Sofia, I don't feel like talking right now. Please let me enjoy your company", I say to her through the mind link, she glares at me

"Bes as your Luna, I command you to shift back", damn she just used that Luna card on me!

No offense I love my wife a lot and I get away with many things, but when she uses that tone, I feel weak on my knees, and I obey her instantly. Her Luna voice makes me obey just like my Alpha voice does to her

I shift back.

"Sofia", I clear my throat

"Bes, I want Ryder back"

Ryder my man, come on, you heard the lady she wants you. Just talk to her

No Bes handle her for me, right now I can't speak with her. I don't want her to worry too much

But you already worrying her

Okay fine, I'll talk to her.

I let Ryder take it back and my color changes

"Thank you, now you are being very irresponsible"

I just have to let her scold me even though I'm the Alpha and no one dares raise their voice at their king

"Sofia, this is all my fault. If I didn't argue and forced him to stay and guard that man, then his life wouldn't have been in this condition. I'm worried Neo will never wake up", I cry to my wife, she is the only one who listens to me and disciplines me.

She knows how to encourage and do all that is good.

"Yes, Ryder it is somewhat your fault and you have been torturing yourself with guilt. Being guilty won't make everything go back to normal. Being guilty won't stop the attacks and being guilty will cost you your Pack and Alpha title. You are stronger than this"

"Ryder, Nick won't blame you and Neo, and the pup will be alright. There is nothing to worry about. I want you to go shower and think straight, you have to balance everything. Today go check up on Pilot and the others, check up on your people. There is a pack meeting tomorrow and you need to be there. Your brother is safe, and everyone is here to help him recover. He will be back with us soon"

She is right. Nick will get wake up, he will be better, and the pup will be alright. Nick will love his mate and forget about revenge. Everything will go back to normal, and we will all be happy

"Ryder do not dwell in sadness because of what was bound to happen. Let us just pray and be strong for everyone. You are the Alpha people need you, and you are his brother he needs you. Your people and family come first, make a wise decision. Now go and shower"

"You know I love you right?"

"Yes, that's why you married me. Now go", she slightly pushes me away and I kiss her neck before jogging to the bathroom
