Fated to my Enemy

Chapter 47

Chapter Forty-Seven Alpha Blake “Channing, I’ll see you this weekend,” Walter called out. He looked over his shoulder and gave him a nod before following Aspen into their room and closing the door behind them. I moved closer to Ryley, taking a hold of her arm. She jumped before turning to look at me. “Are you okay?” I asked her, stepping even closer to her. Her stòrmy grey eyes had so many emotions swirling. This situation has her worried. She wants to protect her and Channing but she also wants to help Walter. “Yeah, I’m okay,” she whispered, wrapping her arms around herself. “We’ll take our leave now, baby girl. I’ll see you on the weekend.” Walter told her, pulling her in for a hug. “Thank you for stopping by, all of you,” she said before kissing his cheek. “Maybe, after all the work to the cabin is done, we can all get together,” Evan told her. “I’d like that,” she told Evan with a smile. “I’ll walk you out,” I announced to the men. I followed them outside leaving Riley in the kitchen area. I closed the door behind us. I wanted to have a word with Chris. “Alpha Blake, I already know what you are going to say and you can 0.00% 11:54

If he thought his brother and father could save him from my wrath, he was delusional. “Con, we saw the way you looked at her. This is not just about your son being there. And I didn’t know he was your son or I never would have,” I didn’t let him finish.

“Threaten a wolf-less teenager? This isn’t about the who. Even if I wasn’t an alpha, I would never put up with you threatening a she-wolf and two teenagers who haven’t shifted yet. However, you feel about Ryley and your father’s relationship shouldn’t have been handled that way. And if you have taken the tto get to know her, you would know that Ryley is a good person. I’ve known her for weeks and I trust her with my son. All of you need to work on your own relationship. But know this, if you ever threaten or hurt Ryley in any way, nothing will protect you.” Walter ccloser and squeezed my shoulder. He’s a good man, and I’ m hoping I won’t have to kill his son. Chris gavea nod. “It was good to meet you, Alpha Blake,” Evan said. I nodded and they all climbed into Walter’s truck. I watched as they drove away before heading inside the cabin. I found Riley in the kitchen, washing dishes. She was staring out the window as she mindlessly washed. I walked up behind her and placed my hands on the counter on either side of her. “What’s out there that’s so interesting?” I asked, leaning in. She jumped, dropping the glass she was washing into the sink. Thankfully, it didn’t break. “F**k,” she cursed, panting. I spun her around before she could pick 22.95% ||| r 11:54 Chapter Forty Seven 288 Vouchers up the glass again. “Ryley, breathe,” I told her as I rested my forehead against hers. Our moment didn’t last long as the door to the boy’s room opened and she pushedback. “Is everything okay?” Aspen asked. “Yep. Ryley was just going to go pack up her things while I finished cleaning up.” I answered, not taking

my eyes off of her. I couldn’t read her. She was building up her wall again. She gavea tight smile before heading into her room. “Dad, did something happen?” My son questioned as I moved to the kitchen sink to finish washing the rest of the dishes. “Why don’t you two get the living room cleaned up? Ryley was nice enough to let us go fishing this morning, the least we can do is help get this place cleaned up.” After everything was clean and Ryley’s SUV was packed up, I hopped in behind the wheel. Ryley didn’t say anything as she took the front passenger seat. The boys sat in the back. Both of them had earbuds in and were looking at their phones. Ryley watched out the window as I pulled away from the cabin. The vehicle was silent and I could feel something was wrong with her. I leaned over and placed my hand on her thigh, squeezing it. She looked at me, givinga tight smile. “What’s bothering you?” I asked her and she sighed. She looked back at the boys before turning her attention back to me. “I want to believe Chris but I can’t. If it was just me, I could do it for Walter but with the boys being involved, I can’t. If anything would have happened to them, I don’t know,” Her voice cracked and she # 56.17% ୮ 11:54 looked away.

And what happened westerday will never happen again, you have my word.” I told her “But,” she stammered. “No buts. I trust you and I know you would have died to keep my son safe. This doesn’t affect that trust. And if it wasn’t for your love for Walter. I probably would have killed him. He should be grateful that you love his father so much.” She nodded, before leaning her head hack against the seat. She placed her hand on top of mine as she looked out the window again. This is something I could get used to.
