Fated to my Enemy

Alpha Blake

I awoke to an empty bed. I groan as Ryley’s space is cold. Evie must be up already, I thought as I sat up. But I didn’t hear any noise coming from her room. I pulled on my sweatpants from last night and peeked my head into her room. She was still sound asleep. I smiled looking at my sleeping daughter. She may have my dark hair but she looked like her mother.

I quietly closed her door and went back into our room to shower. I needed a moment to clear my head and get everything I would tell Ryley in order. I didn’t want to worry her about the council, not now, but they weren’t going away. Yesterday they proved they would show up anytime and as much as I love it out here, we needed to get back to the pack. I didn’t need their army showing up when I wasn’t there.

“You need to tell our mate the truth, Blake. There’s no way around this. We are going to war.” Gunner growled.

“She pregnant. I don’t want her to worry about this.” I retorted.

“So, you are willing to lose our mate? That’s what will happen if you lie to her about this. They threatened our daughter, nothing is scarier than a momma wolf protecting her pup. I won’t lie to Lily,” he snapped.

I sighed, letting the hot warm run over my stiff body. I knew he was right but I wanted to protect my family. I can’t lose them. Ryley’s body protected our daughter, but what if this time it can’t? I couldn’t live with myself if anything happened to our child.

I quickly washed before getting out of the shower. I needed to speak with my mate. I felt guilty for not telling her everything after I was

home, but I didn’t want to stop our moment. She needed release a the hours she spent worrying.

after

I dried off and wrapped the towel around my hips before walking into our room to get dressed. That’s when I heard my little princess. She was up and babbling to herself. I pulled on a pair of sweatpants and grabbed a shirt before leaving my room to get my Evie.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

She let out a squeal when I opened the door.

“Good morning, my little piggy,” I cooed as she gripped the crib railing, bouncing. I pulled on my shirt before I picked her up.

“Merry Christmas, my pretty little girl. Should we go see Mommy?” I laid her down on the change table to get her ready for her first.

Christmas morning.

“Mum, mum, mum,” she mumbled and I sighed.

“Dada,” I repeated. She has been saying mum for a few weeks now, but I was hoping her first word would be dad. I still remember Ryley’s face when she said mum for the first time, bragging that she was Evie’s favorite.

Evie kept on mumbling Mum as I got her changed and into a new Christmas sleeper. It was pink fleece with rainbow snow flakes. When she was ready, I picked her up and left her room to find Mommy.

Evie started pulling on my scruff, so I started to tickle her chubby tummy. She squealed in laughter as she fought to get away from the tickles.

When I walked into the living room, the atmosphere changed. Walter was sitting on the couch with Aspen and I could hear banging coming from the kitchen.

“What did you tell her?” I demanded, looking between the both of

them.

“Mum, mum,” Evie squealed and I knew Ryley had entered the living

room.

“Baby, what did they tell you?” I let her take Evie into her arms before I pulled them both against my chest.

“Baby?” I asked again, rubbing my nose against hers.

“Mom, let me take her,” Aspen stood up from the couch. I was surprised he was awake this early.

“Booboo,” Evie reached for her oldest brother.

“I have some fruit cut up for her on the counter.” Ryley told him, handing our daughter to him. With her arms free, I wrapped my arms. around her shoulders and pulled her flush against my chest.

“Blake, I’m scared,” she mumbled, her body began to tremble.

“I won’t let anything happen to you or our family.” I kissed the top of her head.

“Then why does our son feel like he should be home protecting us?” She looked up at me, her chin resting on my chest.

“And I don’t want him going back there. Our pack members are too exposed there and it’s no longer safe. Aspen isn’t going back there until this mess with the council is cleaned up.” Tears filled her beautiful stormy clouds.

“Baby, do you think I don’t have men in the Alpha training? I would never put Aspen in danger. He has had loyal men around him the entire time he has been there. He needs this training.” I told her.

“Tell me what the council wanted?” She demanded. I led her over to

the couch and sat her down while I sat in front of her on the coffee table.

“They believe I’m hiding another Luna Wolf,” she gasped and I took hold of her hands in mine.

“They also wanted to test,” I didn’t finish as Lily let out a murderous growl which I’m sure woke everyone in the cabin.

“They wanted to test our f ucking daughter,” she yelled. I could feel the fury coming off her in waves.

“Told you,” Gunner snickered.

“Baby. Baby, it’s okay. I would never let the council get hold of Evie. I told them to f u ck off and if a Luna Wolf was hiding in my pack that she is under my protection. I’m done dealing with them and their st upid laws against Luna Wolves.” I squeezed her hands.

“No one will touch any of our babies. Aspen is staying home.”

“And I will make sure Channing has a security team with him at all. times. I promise all of you will be safe.”
