Fated to my Enemy by Diane Doherty

Book Two Chapter Forty

Future Alpha Aspen

Once I checked on Mom, I pulled Tessa into my arms. Everything faded away as I held her tightly against me. For three months I have waited for this moment.

“Are you hurt?” I asked as blood soaked through my clothes.

“It’s not mine,” she mumbled with her face burrowed in my chest. “I’m so sorry,” she cried. Her body shook as sobs consumed her.

“We can talk later. Let’s get you cleaned up,” I told her. She pulled back and looked up at me. There was so much pain in her green

eyes.

She took my hands from her hips and moved them to her

stomach.

“I’m pregnant.”

“Mate,” Bliz howled in my head. His tail was thumping as he yipped in excitement.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know when I left. I didn’t want you to get hurt,” she rushed out but I didn’t let her finish as I crushed my lips to hers. I couldn’t smell it through all the blood, but her scent was mixed with mine. There was no doubt this child was mine.

“Tess,” Sarah called out. I pulled my lips away and rested my forehead against hers.

“You should have told me. I would have protected you.”

“But you didn’t know I was your mate. I didn’t want to drag you into my family mess,” she cried.

“I love you, Tessa. I have spent the last three months searching for you. Mate or not. Baby or not. I love you,” I confessed. I wrapped my arms around her and held her tightly as she sobbed.

“I’m so sorry.”

She gasped when I lifted her into my arms. I wasn’t going to let her walk back. She has been through enough.

I kissed her forehead when she relaxed and rested her head on my shoulder.
