Fated to my Enemy by Diane Doherty

Book Two Chapter Thirty-Nine Alpha Blake | didn’t wait for the vehicle to stop before | jumped out. The flight was torture. | didn’t receive any new information about my mate. Even after landing and being greeted by the beta, he had nothing new to share.

“Alpha Orion,” a young alpha stepped forward.

“Where the hell is my wife?” | demanded.

“Titus,” a woman yelled. The young alpha turned away from me.

“Sarah,” Aspen exclaimed beside me.

My skin rippled and Gunner growled when the scent of her blood hit me. Looking at the young woman, she was covered in my mate's blood.

“They need help,” she panted as she gripped the alpha.

“Why are you covered in her blood?” | growled, taking a step forward. The alpha stepped in front of her and Aspen stepped in my way.

“Dad, Sarah would never hurt Mom,” Aspen defended.

“She gave birth,” she cried. “I'm sorry, there was no way to stop it.

Chapter Thirty-Nine Tessa is still with her.” “Where?” she pointed behind her but my mate’s howl caused goosebumps to cover my body.

Gunner forced the shift before taking off towards the sound of Lily’s growls.

| didn’t care about anything else but getting to my mate. She gave birth and shifted to protect our child.

“I won't let anything happen to them,” Gunner growled as he pushed himself harder.

| could feel her rage through the bond before | heard a yip.

When | hit the clearing, Ryley was no longer shifted. Her naked body was covered in blood with a black wolf standing over her.

Gunner didn’t waste twatching the scene. He didn’t make a sound as he tackled the alpha from behind. They rolled and he bit into the enemy before throwing him off of him.

He sneered as he backed up to his mate, not taking his eyes off the alpha who had hurt her.

“Luna,” | heard a woman scream behind me.

The alpha wolf in front ofshook his head before he turned his attention to movement behind me. He got up and sneered.

Sizing him up now, | was bigger and we had more to fight for.Chapter Thirty-Nine wasn't leaving here breathing.

It was the cry of our pup behindthat pushedto lunge. before the fucker had a chance. The woman had our child.

When our bodies collided, he bit down into my shoulder but | ripped my claws down his side across his belly. He howled in pain. but | didn’t stop. | didn’t care that my shoulder was bleeding or the pain when | moved. All | saw was red as my pup cried for its mother.

Blood, teeth, and claws were all | saw as | protected my mate and child. This moment was why Gunner was the strongest alpha in his generation.

He sunk his teeth in deep and ripped. Even after the alpha went silent and stopped moving. He didn’t stop. He was making sure this fucker couldn’t hurt our family again.

He threw the body to the side and sent up a howl when the power shifted to us.

When we turned back to our mate, the young woman was holding a bundle in one arm and holding up her bleeding hand to my mate.

I shifted and rushed to her side.

“I'm so sorry, I'm trying to give her my blood. | can heal her,” she cried. | pushed my ear against her chest. Her heart was beating, but it was slow. She had lost too much blood.

Chapter Thirty Nine “Ryley, baby, | need you to open your eyes.” | held her to my chest as | smacked her cheek. “Our baby needs you.” “Blake,” she mumbled.

| “Baby,” | choked as | held her tightly against me.

“Oh, thank god, it worked,” the young woman exhaled.

“Where's our boy?” she opened her eyes and looked up at me.

“Boy?” “He is right here, Luna. He's safe.” | looked at the woman.

“Blake this is Aspen’s mate,” Ryley said as | stared at the woman.

“You're the Luna wolf?” “That's what I've been told,” she stammered.

“Blake, we have tfor that later. Tessa, can | see my baby?” | moved her between my legs and she rested her head against my chest before Tessa rested the bundle in my mate’s arms.

My emotions choked as | looked down at him.

“He is perfect,” | kissed her cheek.

“Luna Orion, do you need more blood?” Tessa mumbled. My mate looked up at the young woman and held out her hand for hers, which she took.

Chapter Thirty-Nine

“I'm okay, now. Thank you. Thank you for everything you and Sarad did . And welcome to the family ", she smiled .

Tessa let out a sob.

“I don’t deserve your kindness. He took you because | ran,” she cried.

“We are not to blame for the choices of madmen , Tess. I'm glad you got away from him and I'm glad you found Aspen” “Blake,” Luca called out, as my wolves surrounded us.

“Tessa,” | heard Aspen. | watched as Tessa’s body tensed, kneeling beside us.

“Everything will be okay,” Ryley reassured her. “But he needs to know,” she slammed her eyes shut and nodded.

“We need blankets,” | ordered as my mate shivered in my arms.

“Mom?” Aspen approached us.

“We are okay, sweetie. It's been a long day,” she smiled up at our son.

“Aspen, |,” Tessa stood up and looked at our son. Without a word, he pulled her into his arms.

Three months of searching he finally found her.

A warrior handeda blanket and | wrapped it around my wife.

“You ready to go home?” | kissed her forehead.

Chapter Thirty-Nine “You're my home, silly,” she looked up at me. “But | do miss our baby girl and boy.”

“Luna, thank the goddess,” Luca kneeled in front of us. ‘I have an ambulance on standby. First, lest get you and baby checked out and then we can take you home.” “We have another alpha wolf in the family,” | beamed at my beta.
