Fated to my Enemy by Diane Doherty

Chapter Sixty-Eight
Alpha Blake
“Blake, I’m just concerned with what kind of pack she came from. We don’t need a scandal.” My mother retorted. Both our boys growled before Ryley excused them both. They didn’t need to be involved in this conversation.
“Liz, that was uncalled for. The decisions her father made were not hers,” my father defended.
“I’m just watching out for our son and pack. This could very well start a war. He has every right to come back here and demand her. Her and his son,” she exclaimed. Gunner let out a murderous growl causing the entire room to go deadly silent. Ryley jumped, but I grabbed her hand that was resting on the table, squeezing it. I didn’t mean to scare her.

“He is marked. He has no right to her or their son. And if he wants a war, he’s got one.” I growled, low, not taking my eyes off my mother. I love her but this isn’t her place.
“And you’re okay with others dying so you can be Luna?” My mother scoffed, looking at Ryley. She tried to pull her hand from mine, but I held on firmly.
“This has nothing to do with being Luna, Luna Orion. I could walk back into my old pack and challenge Dorian for it back. I care about your son and grandson very much.” Ryley told her.
“If that were true, young lady, you would stay away from them.” She huffed before leaving the table.

“I should get to work.” Ryley whispered, standing from her seat. I tugged her over to me. I could see the tears wanting to fall.
“I’ll meet you in your office when I’m done,” I murmured, caressing her cheek, she nodded before I pecked her lips. As soon as I let go of her hand, she was gone. I let out a sigh before turning my attention back to my father.
“What the hell was that?”.

“Your mother and her gossipy friends. I think she was also talking with Gwen’s mother. Apparently, Gwen is telling everyone how Ryley attacked her when she offered to be her friend and you did nothing to protect her.” He explained. My blood started to boil before my father raised a hand.
“You and I both saw that recording. And even after yesterday, Ryley could have lied. She could have denied who she was, but she didn’t. She owns her father and her pack. This can put a target on her pack when Alpha Darius Crimson, learns she got away. And she has information about his wrongdoings.” He said.
“What will you have me do?”
“As of right now, nothing. There is nothing you can do. But I’d advise you to move her here. If he gets wind of her living in another city, he will come after her. Also, stay on Alpha Dorian’s good side. The attack was planned by his father, not his son. I’ll look into the council and see if I can dig up anything there. I’ll also talk with your mother.” He grumbled that last part and I don’t blame him. My mother is a handful on a good day, and today was not a good day.
“I’m going to go say my goodbyes to the boys before going to get your mother. I’ll let you know what I find.” My father said, before standing up from his seat. He squeezed my shoulder as he walked by me.

“And remember Blake, if it was easy, it wouldn’t be worth fighting for,” and then he was gone.
I didn’t have time to think as Luca was in my head.
“Ga*ma Connor and his team are ready to leave.”
“I’ll be right there,” I told him, standing from my seat. I didn’t even get
a chance to eat.
Before leaving the dining room, I asked one of the servers to take up breakfast for two to Ryley’s office. She needs to eat and my mother didn’t give her the chance.
“She can’t seriously think we will be with Gwen, can she?” Gunner asked as I left the dining room to meet the others outside the front of the pack house.
“I’m not sure where her head is at. But she should be able to see how much Aspen loves Ryley. She was all excited until she found out who her mate was. Or maybe it’s who her father was. I don’t know, I’ll have to ask my father.” I said.
As soon as I walked outside, Connor and Luca stopped talking to stare at me. They didn’t say a word as I approached them.
“What?”
“Nothing. A little bird said there was a pretty little blonde staying on the alpha floor.” Luca shrugged.
“You wouldn’t know anything about that, now would you, Blake?” Connor grinned, alongside Luca.
“Both of you knock it off, nothing happened.” I scoffed.

“Did you forget how to do it?” Luca questioned and I punched him in
the arm.
“Ouch,” he exclaimed, rubbing the spot.
“I know how it works, ds****it. She was resting. She lost a lot of blood yesterday.” I told them. I wasn’t going to tell them we made out, half-
