Fated to my Enemy by Diane Doherty

Book Two Chapter Twenty-Eight

Luna Ryley

Saying goodbye to Aspen was hard, but he calls me every day to update me. After a week they still haven’t tracked down the girls but they also haven’t run into the council, so that’s good news. I still don’t like him out there without me. I know he’s eighteen and can handle himself but as a Luna wolf, I can heal him. And that’s what’s worrying me the most, is not being there if he needs me.

But, today, I have to push my worry aside because, today, Evie and I are watching her big brother play hockey. It was like pulling teeth to get my mate to agree to let me go, but after seeing his daughter in the little jersey I bought to match mine with the Orion name on the back, he couldn’t say no.

I was standing in the crowded bleachers with Walter. The second period was about to start and Evie was already asleep in the snuggly strapped around my chest. It was passed her bedtime. Warriors were surrounding us, blending into the crowd, and Channing’s team of warriors was also there. I knew we were safe and this was the first game my son openly invited me to and I wasn’t going to miss it.

I just finished texting Blake when the teams came out from intermission. The crowd went wild for the home team and my heart swelled with pride. This is something Channing always wanted. We would talk about it after his games when he was younger. He loved the game of hockey.

I caught Channing eyeing the crowd and I waved an arm in the air. I was surprised when he saw me in the crowded arena but he gave me a nod before going to the center for the puck drop.

I held my sleeping daughter tightly as I bounced her in the busy lobby of the arena. The game was now over with a win for us and I was beaming with pride. I wish Blake had been here to see him. He has been meeting with other alphas with everything going on with the council. He couldn’t get away no matter how hard he tried.

“How are you feeling?” Walter asked me again as we waited. The nausea has been worse the last couple of days and it’s been hard to keep anything down, even with medication.
