Fated to my Enemy

Book Two Chapter Twenty-Three

Alpha Blake

"Becky?" I heard my beta say before my ga mma, Connor, was in my head.

"It's Luna." I didn't have tto think before Gunner shifted and took

off toward the mall.

"Where?" I demanded Connor through the link. "North side."

Gunner picked up his pace as he dodged traffic and leaped over parked cars. Pack members s cattered when he'd raced by. Gunner was massive and scary as hell. Even more so when he was worried about his mate. What the hell could have happened? I tried to reach her through the link but she wouldn't reply.

He crashed through the north doors and I could hear screaming before the scent of blood hit my nose. F uck, don't let her be hurt.

"Luna, I need you to calm down," I heard Connor tell my mate before Gunner turned the corner and her beautiful wolf cinto view. She was covered in blood as she gripped a man in her teeth and shook him. He was already dead. The store was painted in blood.

Connor tried to approach her and she dropped the b*dy to growl at my

gamma.

Without hesitation, Gunner rushed over to our mate and started to lick the blood off her muzzle. Lily whimpered, before looking down and baring her teeth at the corpse. Gunner nuzzled her head with his before

he continued to clean off the blood from her fur. Even covered in blood she was the most beautiful wolf.

"Alpha," I looked up to see Becky holding on to her mate. "This way,' she pointed towards the back of the store. Gunner pushed Lily to follow her and Luca. Becky opened a door to a washroom and Gunner followed behind his mate. When the door finally closed I shifted back.

"Baby, shift," I commanded, kneeling in front of Lily. As soon as she shifted back, n*ked and covered in blood, she rushed to the toilet and threw up.

"Lily, why the hell would you do that?" she panted, in between retching. I sat on the floor beside her and rubbed her back.

"Baby, are you okay?" I mumbled against her bare shoulder when her stomach calmed down. Her b*dy was sticky with sweat and blood and she was trembling.

"He was there," she exhaled. I watched her eyes fill with tears and I pulled her against my chest before she broke into sobs. I wanted to know more, but I kept my mouth shut and held my mate. "There's clothes outside the door. I have warriors clearing the mall, now." Luca relyed.

"Find out who the man was. Ryley said he was there." I ordered.

Once Ryley calmed down, I retrieved the clothes and helped her dress. While she rinsed her mouth out and cleaned up sof the blood, I pulled on the clothes that Luca had left for me. The only downside to shifting.

"That man was at the council, Blake. I remember him. Lily didn't give him a chance to do anything. She shifted and you know the rest," she breathed out. I pulled her against my chest and wrapped my arms around her.

"Let's get you home," I k*ssed the top of her head. I can deal with this after I get my mate hsafe and sound. I don't know what I was expecting today, but this wasn't it.

"F ucker is lucky Lily got to him first. I wouldn't have made it a quick death." Gunner scoffed. I agreed with my wolf. I would have enjoyed torturing that piece of shit.

I tugged her into my side as we walked out to the front of the store. Mostly everything had been cleaned up but the b*dy was still where Lily had left him, but a white sheet now covered him.

A phone began to ring and I looked to Luca who was speaking with Becky, who rushed over to Ryley.

I watched as Luca kneeled beside the b*dy and removed the sheet. The ringing beclouder and he dug around in the man's pockets to retrieve a phone. I let Becky console my mate while I walked over to my beta and he handedthe phone, which I answered.

"Toby, is the job done?" a gravely male voice demanded.

"Toby was killed by Luna Orion," I growled. "Know the Orion Pack is coming for you next." The phone went dead and I handed it to Luca, "find the caller, that fucker is from the council," I pointed at the bloody mess of a corpse. He nodded.

"Your truck is waiting outside the north doors."

I held out my hand for my mate and she rushed against my side. I wrapped my arm around her before leading her outside to my truck.

"How are you feeling? How's our baby?" I asked her when we were seated in the vehicle. I was debating taking her to the hospital to get checked out. I grabbed her hand and brought it to my I*ps before ripping out of the parking lot.

"I'm okay, Blake. Baby is fine but is givingsmorning sickness. It started when Becky and I were shopping. And then the blood," she gagged before covering her mouth.

"I'm taking you to the hospital," I told her.

"Blake, I'm fine," she protested.

"I'm not taking any chances, baby. It was a stressful day and I'm sorry

for putting you through that. I promise I will find out how cker

got into our pack. He shouldn't have been able to get close to you." I k*ssed her hand again.

"It's not your fault and Lily handled it. I like being able to help with the pack. I like being a hands-on Luna, where the pack sees me. Now, they know not to mess with me," she smiled. "I would kill them all, baby."
