Fated to my Enemy by Diane Doherty

Chapter Seventy-Six
Alpha Blake
I was ready to punch Isaac in the face for the way he was speaking to Ryley. He demanded this meeting, ignored her calls, and then acted like an unappreciated jac**ss. He was more interested in talking with me than his employee.
When Ryley came storming into her office I knew something was wrong. And he followed her in begging for her to finish my account. Little did he know my account was tied to Ryley. If she didn’t work it, I’d cancel it with this firm and hire her directly.
While Ryley was packing up her office, I left to find Isaac. I find him sitting in his office. I didn’t bother to knock.
“Isaac, I think you and I need to have a chat,” I told him, walking up to his desk.
“Blake, this isn’t a good time.” He said, looking at his phone.
“This won’t take up too much of your time. With Ryley no longer working for this firm, the Orion enterprise will no longer be needing its services.” I told him.
“That’s not necessary, I can have someone else out there early next week to finish the work. There is no need to pull out of the contract.” He exclaimed, standing from his seat.
“It’s nothing personal, Isaac. I found someone I like to work with and I will continue to do so. My lawyers will contact you.” I left his office, feeling good about my decision to back Ryley. Even if we weren’t

together. I would still hire her as our full-time forensic accountant. She’s done an amazing job and she should be paid accordingly. And I know she’s worth more than this firm is paying her.

I smiled seeing Ryley standing outside her former office with a box in her hands. There was officially no reason for her ever to come back here. She was selling her house and will be working with me.
“Now hopefully, she doesn’t get sick of you,” Gunner scoffed.
“I’m a delight, asshole,” I retorted.
“Ready?” I as**d h*r, taking the box.
“Ready,” she answered with a smile. We walked to the elevator and she pushed the button..
It wasn’t until we were in the elevator on our way down to the lobby did I ask her how she was feeling. I knew this was going to be hard for her since she has been working here since she got her degree.
“I’m okay, Blake, I’m ready for my next adventure. Maybe I’ll start a firm and employ mothers like me. Ones who need help and support. I’ m not looking to get rich, I just want to be happy.” She looked at me and smiled. I placed the small box under my arm before pulling Ryley to my side and kissing her temple.
“That sounds like a great plan, baby,” I mumbled, smiling against her skin. I haven’t been this happy since before I lost Maya and I never wanted to lose my happiness again. Nothing was going to stand in the way of me being with Ryley.
I pulled up in front of the house and the men were just finishing moving the last of the furniture out of the house. Ryley still had some packing in her room to do before we could leave. I had the plane on standby, so we could leave when she was finished.

“Blake, can you put that box in the truck and I’ll start packing up my room? I should be done soon if you keep your hands to yourself,” She gave me a pointed look before leaning over the console, and pecking my lips.
“That’s not fair,” I pouted and she giggled.
“I’m sure you can last a couple of hours,” she smiled, getting out of the SUV. I watched her walk away swaying her hips in her tight black pants, and f*ck, was she s*xy. I knew she was doing it on purpose and she was going to pay for that later.
I readjusted myself before getting out and grabbing the box of her things from the office. I didn’t notice the frame on top, with a picture of her and Channing. Channing was in his hockey gear and Ryley was wearing one of his jerseys. They both looked so happy, he must have just won.
“And now you and Aspen will be a part of her new photos on her desk,” Gunner purred, his tail thumping in my head.
“Maybe, but you should probably meet Lily, and see if you like her,” I told him.
“She’s beautiful, I know I’ll like her.” He smugly puffed out his chest. I shook my head as I walked over to the moving truck.
“How did the meeting go?” John, one warrior asked.
“Their loss was our gain,” I told him, handing him the box.
“Good, you deserve to be happy, Alpha,” he said, taking the box. I headed into the house and up the stairs to find Ryley going through her closet. I leaned against the frame of the door watching as she swayed her hips and hummed a tune as she worked. I could get used to this sight every day for the rest of my life.
