Fated to my Enemy by Diane Doherty

Book Two Chapter Two
Alpha Blake
My father was riding shotgun while Channing was in the backseat. I watched her in the window as I pulled away from the cabin. The path. was now smooth as I had a company pave a road to the cabin from the main road.
Guilt twisted my stomach painfully as I lost sight of her and the cabin. She’s pregnant and there wasn’t a chance in hell I was letting the council get a hold of her this time.
“Lily will keep them all safe,” Gunner growled.
“I know she will. But this should be us celebrating as a family. She is giving us another pup.” I retorted.
My knuckles were white as I gripped the steering wheel. I f ucking hate the council and heads were going to roll for this.
“Dad, are you okay?” Channing asked from the backseat.
“No. Your mother is pregnant and I have to leave to deal with this g odd amn council. The same council that could have killed our daughter.” I ranted, unable to hold in my rage. Having Lily has made me a calmer alpha until s hit like this happens. Then I become homicidal. I have too much to lose now. And as powerful as Ryley is, there is still a target on her back because she is a Luna Wolf. One of only two we know of. She and her mother.
I dug my phone out of my pocket and quickly looked for Alpha Evertt’s contact while keeping an eye on the road. It was winter and the snow covered everything in a blanket. The call rang through the speakers of

the truck while I waited for him to answer.
“Blake, Merry Christmas. It’s good to hear from you,” he answered.
“Evertt. I need you and your men to head out to the cabin. Ryley is there with everyone.” I rushed out.

“And where the f uck are you?” he growled.
“I’m on my way back to the pack to deal with the council who just showed up. I have my father and Channing with me. Walter is there with his family, and he has his sons patrolling while they wait for me to return.” I told him, ignoring his tone. This is about keeping his daughter and grandbabies safe.
“This could be a trap, Blake.”
“And that’s why I’m calling you for backup. I can’t leave my pack unprotected and I would feel better if you could drive up there to keep my wife and daughter safe. I will be back before morning. I just need to tell them to f uck off.” I scoffed.
“I’ll be there within the hour. Let Walter know I’m coming. I don’t want any surprises.” he ended the call and my father pulled out his phone to call him.
“Dad, Mom is going to be safe.” Channing gripped my shoulder reassuringly.
“Either way. I’m burning that council to the ground.”
When I finally pulled the truck up in front of the pack house, council. warriors were standing guard as my Beta yelled at two of the councilmen. I looked on with pride as Luca tried to handle the situation. It’s the day before Christmas and we shouldn’t be dealing with this. Even my warriors have a different schedule over the holidays. so they all get to be with their families. Most of the single warriors.

volunteer to work Christmas so the mated ones can spend it with their pups.
I parked my truck and we all got out. I could see the relief on Luca’s face as I rushed over to him.
“What seems to be the problem?” I demanded, taking the spot beside my Beta. My father and Channing came to stand with us.
“We got wind of you hiding another Luna Wolf. Alpha Blake. Also, the council would like to test your daughter,” he didn’t get to finish as Gunner let out a murderous growl. I gripped the f ucker by his collar, lifting him off the snowy ground.
Council warriors pointed their guns at me and my men got ready to fight. My pack was and my Luna. These men wouldn’t get
loval to m very far if they chose to fire.
“Let me make this clear. The council will never touch my Luna again. And my daughter will never be subjected to your f ucking tests. And if another Luna Wolf is hiding here in my pack. she is under my protection. Now get the f uck out of my pack.” I growled. throwing the f ucker back before I ripped him apart. He stumbled back into his partner.
“Under the laws.” he coughed.
“I don’t give a f uck about your laws. And I will no longer be paying for the council who almost killed my mate and daughter. If you wanted a f ucken war, you got one. Now get the f uck out.” I yelled. Gunner shifted, ready to attack. If they thought my wolf would be more understanding, they were wrong.
Gunner bared his sharp teeth with his hackles raised.
“We’ll be back.” The other councilman said and Gunner growled. snapping his massive jaw. I could smell their fear, even when they

were trying to hide it.
“I don’t think that would be wise,” my father called out as the men rushed to their SUVs, their warriors following.
I waited until the SUVs pulled out of the driveway before shifting back. The cold winter air cooled my hot skin..
“Blake, 1,” I head up my hand to stop Luca.
“This wasn’t your fault. Go inside and be with your family. I’ll clean up this mess and be back the day after tomorrow. If you can, get more warriors at all the entrance points. Pay them double for their time. I don’t want any more surprises.” I told him.
