Fated to my Enemy by Diane Doherty

Chapter One Hundred Forty–Nine

Luna Ryley

I sat in the window seat of our bedroom and watched the lake and forest behind the house. I was thinking over everything my father had told me. I do understand. I would do anything to keep Blake safe but I don’t think I would be able to give up my children. Even if they had found their mates and were happy. I would never be fully happy without them in my life.

A man like my father just couldn’t walk away from his life as a mobster. I know I told him, I was cleaning up the packs but it would have put a target on my back. Powerful people don’t like it when their money stops. But Dorian and I had a plan. We were going to merge our packs and become the strong leaders we were raised to be.

“Baby girl, are you okay? I made tea,” Walter knocked and called out to me from the other side of the door.

“Come in.” I replied. I quickly wiped my face with my shirt. Walter walked in carrying a mug.

“Oh my sweet girl,” he put the mug down before rushing to sit with me. He pulled me into his arms and held me tight.
