Fated to my Enemy by Diane Doherty
Chapter 129 Alpha Blake
Ryley walked out of the closet wearing an off–the–shoulder sweater dress with ankle boots and I wanted nothing more than to rip it off. I didn’t want to leave but I had a surprise for her. And the boys needed to spend some time with her even though I wanted to be greedy and keep her for myself.
Ryley smirked before heading into the bathroom to finish getting ready. In the meantime, I was getting some work done on my phone. It had been a few days since I’d heard from Aiden. Usually, I would be concerned but now I was worried for Ryley’s sake. He’s done this before and came back unharmed but I had a nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach.
When Ryley was ready and looking hot as hell, we made our way over to the restaurant. She thinks we are meeting Walter and the boys but I have a surprise for her. She was my Luna and soon–to–be wife. The mother of our boys and is growing our unborn pup. She is my everything and I want to give her everything I have and more.
I pulled the truck up in front of the restaurant. I brought the hand I was holding to my lips. She looked over at me, smiling. My mark on her neck was on full display.

“I love you, baby,” I mumbled against her skin.
“I love you, Blake.” I kissed her hand one more time before climbing out of my truck. I made my way over to Ryley’s door, helping her down. I pulled her close before brushing my lips against hers. She wrapped her arms around my neck, deepening the kiss.
When I finally pulled back, we were both breathless as I rested my forehead against hers.
“I don’t want to share you,” I breathed out. She let out a breathy giggle.
“I don’t want to share you, but you are the alpha.”
“And you are the Luna. My Luna.” I reminded her, pecking her lips. She looked up at me with a smile on her face.
“Now, let’s get inside. I need to feed you and our pup.” I exclaimed. She giggled as I took her hand. I opened the door for her. The inside was dark as she entered in front of me.
“Blake, what?” She stammered before the lights were turned on.
“Surprise!” The room shouted. Ryley let out a scream before covering her mouth. I chuckled, wrapping my arms around her waist from behind.
Our boys, Walter, my beta, and his mate, Isabella and Jeremy were all waiting to surprise Ryley.
“Surprise, Baby,” I whispered against her ear.
“Mom,” Aspen exclaimed, wrapping his arms around her neck, and pulling her away from me. The fact that Aspen was calling Ryley’s mom, did not go unnoticed.
Jeremy came over to me while the others fussed over their new Luna.
“I’m happy for you and Aspen. Just don’t ever forget about Mia.” He shrugged. I looked at him before clasping a hand on his shoulder.
“Never. Not that Ryley would ever let me forget. I think she would have been Mia’s biggest fan.” I told him. Jeremy will always be my brother. I loved his sister and nothing has changed that.
“Good. It’s good to see Aspen happy. I know it’s something my sister would have wanted.” He clasped my shoulder before going over to Ryley and congratulated her. She wrapped him in a hug.
“Well, it would seem it all worked out in the end.” My beta said walking up beside me.
“It would seem,” I told him, never taking my eyes off my mate.
“She’s pregnant,” I blurted. He choked on his whiskey as I chuckled. We have only told Walter and the boys.
“How?” He stammered. I rolled my eyes, turning my attention to Luca. I raised a brow.
“F*uck, I know how it happens. I just mean, how do you know already? Didn’t you just mark her?” He clarified.
“Do you remember when she went into heat when we went to clean out her house?” I asked him.
“Yeah, even the doctor couldn’t explain it.” He commented.
“That’s when she got pregnant.”
“But that would mean,” I watched as his brain put the pieces together.
“She’s your second chance,” he exclaimed, grabbing my shoulders.
“You lucky son of a bitch,” he shook me and I laughed.
“You have no idea.”
The evening went by quickly. Great food, drinks, and friends. And Ryley insisted on helping Jeremy since he cooked for all of us. She was in the kitchen with him when Isabella approached me.
“Alpha, have you heard from Aiden?” She questioned. She seemed nervous, scared even.
“I have him on an assignment,” I told her.
“I know but he gets me a burner phone so he can still text me but I haven’t heard from him in a few days and I’m worried.” She explained. The knot in my stomach I had buried surfaced.
“I’ll have another tracker look into it,” I assured her.
The door to the restaurant opened, slamming against the wall from the force. Snapping my head towards the entrance, Aiden stubbled in covered in blood. He looked pale as I took him in. Isabella let out a gasp before rushing to her mate.
Jeremy and Ryley came rushing from the back of the restaurant.
“Luca, call an ambulance.” I ordered, grabbing hold of my fiancee before she could rush in and play doctor.
“Blake, let me go.” She screamed, fighting against me.
“Ryley, stop, you are pregnant and I won’t lose you or our baby,” I growled, holding her shoulders, tightly. I stared down at my mate as I pulled her against my chest. I ran my thumb over her exposed mark. My mark.
“Lily’s awake. Let me help him,” she pleaded, her eyes full of tears. I could hear the sirens of the approaching emergency vehicle.
“Please,” she whispered, begging me to let her help.
“Aiden, stay with us,” I heard Luca yelling behind me. I took her hand in mine before slicing it with my claw.
“Not too much. I won’t lose you.” I growled.
“I promise,” she yelled before pushing past me to help with my best tracker. I was right behind her, watching the scene unfold. Luca was performing CPR before Ryley kneeled beside him pushing her bleeding hand against his wounds. Luca stood up to give Ryley more room to heal. I moved to stand beside him, he was now covered in blood.
“Blake, this isn’t good.”
