Fated to my Enemy by Diane Doherty

Book Two Chapter Forty–One

Luna Ryley

Baby and I were finally able to rest after the doctor gave us both a clean bill of health. Blake hasn’t left my side and was snuggled beside me on the bed in the hospital room as our boy nursed. I closed my eyes and rested my head against his chest, enjoying the feeling of security.

“Have you thought of a name?” he mumbled, kissing my head.

“Oakley,” I opened my eyes and looked up at my mate. “I think it’s fitting since he came into the world under an oak tree.” He chuckled as he leaned down and kissed me.

“It’s perfect, baby. He’s perfect. I love you so much.” He rested his forehead against mine.

“I love you.”

A knock on the door pulled our attention. Aspen walked into the room, holding Tessa’s hand. I smiled at the two of them.

“Mom, how are you feeling?” Aspen kissed my cheek before kissing his brother’s head. He sat down in the chair beside the bed and pulled Tessa onto his lap, resting his hand over her bump.

“Tired.” I yawned and Blake snuggled me back into him.

“Tessa, how are you feeling? How’s the baby?” I smiled.

“Baby?” Blake exclaimed.

“Dad, Tessa is my mate and we are having a baby,” Aspen told his father. Blake’s body tensed and I waited for him to lose his shit. I’m sure this isn’t what he expected for his eighteen–year–old son.

“Young lady, how far along are you?”

“Almost twenty wolf weeks, alpha.”

“And you risked not only your life but the life of your child when. you rushed in there to save my mate, why?” She bit her lip and looked at me before turning her attention back to my mate.

“I don’t want to upset, Luna Orion,” she mumbled.

“Please call me Ryley, Tessa, we are family now. And I won’t be upset. I know why you did what you did,” I assured her.

“Aspen, told me what happened to your first mate, his mother, and how much Ryley meant to him. When my brother found us, and told me about the situation, I couldn’t let him lose another mother,” Aspen squeezed her tightly against him and kissed her cheek. “I know she was pregnant and how cruel her captor was. My father sold me to him. It was my fault he took her,” she choked and tears filled her eyes.

“This isn’t your fault, Tessa. Did he hurt you?”
