Fated to my Enemy by Diane Doherty
Chapter 89 (Alpha Blake)
“Alpha,” Aiden said as he walked up beside me. I was still watching the boys. So far, they were both evenly matched. But I wouldn’t be surprised if when Channing joins the pack, he’ll be stronger. He has an alpha and Luna wolf for his parents.
“Aiden, how have you been?” I asked my friend. I haven’t seen him since the night we all went out.
“I’ve been good. Isabella not so much. She feels guilty about what happened with Ryley. How is she?” He sighed.
“Why would Isabella feel guilty? She had nothing to do with her quitting her job.” I questioned.

“Isabella is still on the board. She fought for Ryley to get the promotion but she was outvoted. And now she doesn’t think Ryley will want to continue being friends. I told her to reach out but she’s scared.” He explained. I knew Isabella’s family was a part of the firm but I didn‘ t realize she was on the board.
“I don’t think Ryley holds any ill feelings towards Isabella. She hasn’t mentioned anything. It’s more been about her ex’s mate showing up yesterday.” I told him.
“What?” He exclaimed and I nodded.
“I wouldn’t worry about things with Isabella and I can ask Ryley to give her a call when I see her,” I told him.
“It would seem she has more important things to worry about than a job.” He said.
“Yeah, I already hired her but we are just waiting on the legal s*hit,” I told him and he smirked.
“Oh, and how does she like sleeping with her boss?” He chuckled and I grumbled.
“F*uck off,” I growled. He held up his arms in surrender.
“I’m just repeating what Luca told me. So heat ***?” I shushed him, not wanting the boys to hear.
“Shut up,” I exclaimed.
“Oh, come on. You’ve had it before. It’s nothing new,” he pointed out. “In almost eighteen years, you ass.
“Right, sorry. My bad,” he shrugged.
“Just keep it to yourself and stop talking to Luca.” I scolded him before my phone rang in my pocket.
“I would but I think he’s more excited you’re getting laid than you are,” he chuckled as I pulled out my phone to see Ryley’s beautiful face. She was calling me.
“Give me a second, it’s Ryley,” I told Aiden before turning away and answering my phone.
“Blake, please don’t get mad,” Ryley said.
“Ryley, don’t get mad at what? Where are you?” I exclaimed and I heard her sigh.
“Promise you won’t get mad and I’ll tell you.”
“Fine, I promise,” I told her, my stomach in my throat as I waited for her to tell me what was going on.
“I went to see Lisa,” she whispered.
“You did what?” I roared unable to hold back my anger.
“Blake, I,” she stammered.
“Don’t f*ucken Blake me, Ryley. What the hell were you thinking? And where the f*uck are you now?” I demanded.
“Blake can you please calm down, I’m hurt and I’m scared and I need you to come get me,” she pleaded. My anger stopped instantly as she sounded on the verge of tears.
“Baby, where are you?” “I’m sitting in my vehicle outside the pack house. Blake, I know you’re mad and I’ll explain everything but I need you to come get me, please.” “Are you in danger?” I questioned, worried that something happened and that’s why she said she was hurt.
“No, I’m not in danger, I have Lisa here with me.” She answered, but that didn’t make me feel any better.
“I’ll call you back as soon as I’m on my way. And I’m going to have Connor there to protect you, he’s one of my men who’s already there.” I told her.
“Thank you, Blake, and I’m sorry.” I ended the call before I called Connor to tell him to find Ryley in front of the pack house. His job was to protect her with his life. And to report her injuries back to me once he got there. After I ended the call, I turned my attention back to the boys and Aiden.
“Blake, what’s wrong?” Channing asked me.
“I have to go pick up your mom. I want you boys to head home and to stay there. No going out tonight. I mean it,” I ordered them. I waited until they both nodded before turning to Aiden.
“I need you to come with me,” I commanded.
“What happened?” He mind-linked me as we walked the boys back to the pack house. I needed to get my truck.
“I’ll explain on the way,” I told him.
Then I mind-linked my beta to let him know to watch the boys and make sure they don’t leave the pack house. I’m not sure what Ryley started but if she’s there and hurt, it can’t be anything good.
Once the boys were inside, I explained everything to Aiden as we rushed to where my truck was parked. I was just about to call Ryley when Connor’s call came through the speakers of my truck. I was just about to pull away from the pack house with Aiden riding shotgun.
“Connor?” I answered.
“Blake, I’m here with Ryley. I’m pretty sure she has a concussion. And she is in no shape to drive. Luna Lisa is sitting with her and Alpha Dorian has his men standing guard. And he only wants to speak with you about what happened.” He informed me and Gunner let out a loud growl. He was growing more and more frustrated.
“Tell her to get some rest and I will be there soon. And make sure no one touches her. Not even a doctor. I don’t trust anyone there except you and my men.” I commanded.
