Fated to my Enemy by Diane Doherty
Chapter 100 (Ryley)
“Alpha and Luna, it’s good to see you again,” I said closing the fridge door. Blake’s father smiled at me, while his mother crossed her arms over her c*hest. She scoffed in frustration.
“Ryley, it’s good to see you again, sorry for the interruption,” Blair said.
“Don’t apologize this is our floor. Not hers.” She huffed. I just smiled. even though I wanted to punch her in the face. This was Blake’s home and he invited me to live here with him.
“I don’t think there is a room ready for you. I’d be happy to make one up if you’d like to have a seat in the living room.” I said.

“Are you also the help?” She sneered.
“No, just offering to do something nice. But if you can handle it, I was just on my way out.” I told her.
“You go on dear, we can handle making a bed,” he told him. I gave him a nod before grabbing my purse and leaving. As soon as I closed the door behind me, I let out the breath I was holding in. Great, now I have to deal with her.
I rushed down the stairs and out of the pack house. I almost ran right into Blake as he was walking up to the pack house with the boys and Luca. “Baby, where are you going?” Blake questioned, grabbing my arm and pulling me against him.
“I needed to run to the store to get some things to make dessert,” I told him.
“Please say you are making cheesecake,” Channing pleaded.
“Yes, please make cheesecake,” Luca begged as the three of them pouted. “Yes, I’m making cheesecake.” I exasperated. The three of them cheered and high-fived.
“Boys go upstairs, Grandma and Grandpa are here,” Blake told them, and my attention went to him. He knew and he didn’t warn me.
“I know what you are thinking, baby,” he said through the link.
“Do you?” I exclaimed, backing away from him.
“Ryley, I’m sorry. I didn’t know they were coming until they were here. My father said he had to speak to me.” He said, reaching for my hand, but I pulled it away.
“And you couldn’t warn me? Are we just playing house, or is your house my house as well? I should feel safe in my home. And having your mother walk in and attack me, doesn’t make me feel safe,” I yelled. Everything was bubbling to the surface, and I needed to be alone. Not only do I have to have dinner with my new pack but now I have to eat with the woman who hates me.
“Ryley, of course, what mine is yours. And if you want, we can go stay at a hotel for a few nights. I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable in your home. And it’s your home, Baby. ” Blake took a step towards me and I put up my hands to stop him.
“I need to run out. And maybe I’ll go stay at a hotel until they leave. They are your family and you should be able to spend time with them.”
I told him, walking to my SUV.
“Ryley, stop. I’ll come with you. You shouldn’t go alone,” he protested. “I need to be alone.” I climbed in behind the wheel. I let out a breath as I pulled away from the pack house. I know Blake said I needed to have a warrior with me outside the pack house but right now I just needed space to think.
And I’m well aware I’m probably overreacting but all of this was becoming too much. Who’s not to say that Blake’s mother wouldn’t go to the council herself just to get me away from her son? Or could her hatred for me build resentment between us? How can we be together and have a family if his mother hates me?
“F*uck,” I screamed out as I drove.
“Ryley, calm down, everything will work out. And even unmarked you outrank her because of who you are. You are a Luna wolf and you need to start acting like one.” Lily scolded me as I parked in front of the store.
“Or I can go back to being single and not have to worry about parents who don’t like me,” I retorted.
“His dad likes you,” she pointed out.
“Lily, I don’t know what to do here. I’ve never had to deal with any of this. And if it was any other woman, my inner bitch would have made an appearance.” I pleaded with my wolf to give me something.
“Is all of this coming from the fact that you love Blake and you don’t want him to reject you? So, instead of walking in there and teaching that woman what you’re made of, you ran away?” My wolf questioned.
“No,” I whispered.
“F*uck, maybe,” I exclaimed. I didn’t want Blake to reject me. I wanted to give him all of me, but how can I do that if his mother hates me? I don’t want to be the reason for a rift between him and his mother.
“You could always go get the things you need to make your delicious cheesecake, and then put on your big girl panties and walk back in there with your head held high.” She suggested. I hesitated as I looked at the entrance of the store.
“You have to fight for the things you want, Ryley. If you want Blake, then fight for him. Show her how much you love her son and grandson.” “Baby, please talk to me?” Blake said through the link.
“I’ll be home soon,” I told him. I got out of my vehicle and headed into the store. If this is the life I want then I need to fight for it. I can’t let anyone take away my choice. I may not be ready to mark him, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love him. I love Blake Orion.
