Fated to my Enemy

Chapter 69

Chapter Sixty-Nine Ryley I was finally able to breathe when the door to my office was closed. I leaned back against it, panting trying to push down the panic attack that was bubbling to the surface. Blake’s mother was right. If I did care about them I would leave. I wouldn’t put them in danger. “She was wrong about you wanting to be Luna. You were born to be Luna. And this pack would benefit from your leadership.” Lily huffed. “Will they? This could get their loved ones killed. I could get killed and then who would Channing have?” I cried in despair. The thought of leaving my son with no one twisted my heart painfully. “He would never be alone, Ryley. He has Walter, Blake, and Aspen. They would take care of him.” She reassured me. But this feeling was overwhelming. I måde my way over to my desk to start working. I needed to focus my mind elsewhere. Opening up my laptop there was an email from Issac. Why wouldn’t he just call me if he needed to speak with me? Especially, since I’ve been trying to get a hold of him. Coward. ‘Miss Halliwell, Please meet me in my office tomorrow morning at ten am. Mr. Miller’ What the hell is this about? He knows I’m four hours away and he just wants me to drop everything to go back for a meeting. I grumbled in frustration. This was not how I thought I’d spend my morning. Since I 0.00% ||| 12:00 Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Chapter Sixty-Nine didn’t have my phone, I placed a call to him through my laptop but he didn’t answer. I left him another

message to call me before ending the call. There was a soft knock on my office door. I sighed before calling out for them to enter. Just then a woman carrying a tray opened the door, I rushed out of my chair to help her. “Thank you, miss,” she nodded as she placed it down on the coffee table. “From the alpha,” she said before leaving the room. I lifted the top to find breakfast for two or one of our boys. My heart swelled knowing Blake sent this up. There was only juice on the tray so I made us both a coffee before sitting down. He didn’t have me waiting long before there was a knock on my door and Blake came strolling in. “Just in time. I made coffee.” I told him as he sat beside me on the couch. He leaned in, pecking my lips. I couldn’t help but smile. This man had awoken all my butterflies. “I’m sorry for my mother’s behavior.” He sighed, resting his forehead against mine. “It’s okay.” I brushed it off. “It’s not okay, Ryley. No one has the right to speak to you like that, not even my mother.” He said, rubbing his nose against mine. “I understand her worry. If it was Channing, I probably would have acted the same way. She’s just looking out for her son and grandson.” I shrugged. “That may be so, but she went about it the wrong way. And I want you 24.62% ||| 12:00 Chapter Sixty Hins to know, I’m on your side. I’ll defend you even from my mother.” “Thank you,” I whispered. He pecked my lips. “Anything. Now let’s cat.” He handed me a plate before taking the other one. 286 Vouchers As we ate, I thought about how I was going to bring up the topic about going home. I needed to pack everything up if we were going to be moving here and Issac wanted to meet with me in person. I had a

bad feeling about meeting with him. I haven’t been able to get ahold of him or his sister, Isabelle. “Blake, I need to head into the office tomorrow morning. My boss has asked me to his office at ten am.” I told him. Blake stopped chewing and placed his plate down before shifting towards me. “Issac asked to see you, in person?” He questioned. “I received an email this morning. I’m not sure where my cellphone is but I tried calling him through my laptop and he didn’t answer. I left him a voicemail but I’m sure he won’t get back to me. I’ve been trying to get a hold of him but he’s not calling me back.” I explained. “Then we can fly out this evening, pack up your house and leave tomorrow after your meeting,” Blake said. “You don’t have to come with me. I can leave this afternoon. Pack up some things. Arrange for movers tomorrow after my meeting.” I told him and his chest grumbled. “I will come with you and we will fly. I don’t want you driving that far without security. And the person I trust the most with your security is on another assignment. I’ll cancel all my meetings this afternoon and then we will leave. I’ll ask Luca to watch the boys since my parents went home.” He told me. 50.08% ||| O 12:00 Chapter Sixty-Nine “Blake, that seems like a lot of trouble.” He moved my plate from my lap to the coffee table before wrapping an arm around my shoulders and pulling me to his side. “It’s not too much trouble. I need you to be safe. I can’t let you leave the pack without protection. I promise I will protect you and I will.” I grabbed his stubbled cheek before pulling him close. My lips crashed against his. Dare I say the love I feel for this man just grew deeper and stronger? Without breaking the kiss, I climbed into his lap, straddling him. His large hands went up my shirt, leaving tingles in its wake as they moved up my back. I didn’t realize how badly I craved a mate until this moment. I wanted someone to fight by my side. To

always have my back and to protect me in my moments of weakness. Always having to be strong, was exhausting. But I know with Blake I can let my walls down a little bit. And maybe one day soon, they will come down completely. Blake let out a groan before pulling away. We were both breathing heavily as I rested my forehead against his. “Baby, I have to go, but I’ll see you this afternoon.”
