Fated to my Enemy

Chapter 41

Chapter Forty-One Alpha Blake I was sitting in my office trying to get some work done. Aspen had gone with Ryley and Channing to the cabin for the night. I haven’t spoken to her since last night and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about her. Maybe if I would have stayed the night with her? She could have woken up in my arms and then maybe she would see how perfect we are for each other. My phone rang on my desk where I had placed it. Looking at the screen, Aspen’s name popped up. My stomach tightened with worry as I answered the phone. “Aspen?” “Dad, we need you. The Shadow Moon pack beta crossed the fence and he’s threatening Ryley. Channing called Walter but we need help.” Aspen yelled into the phone. He was breathing heavily like he was running. “Where are you? Are you hurt?” I growled, my blood boiling. I was already up from my desk and rushing to the garage to my truck. “Not hurt. Ryley told us to get back to the cabin. But Dad, she’s on her own. The beta had warriors with him.” He yelled in despair. “Aspen, get to the cabin and wait for Walter. I’ll be there as soon as I can.” I ended the call before I mind-linked Luca. “Garage now. Shadow Moon is attacking Ryley’s cabin.” 0.00% 11:51 Chapter Forty-One

“What the f*ck?” Luca replied. I didn’t answer. I picked up my speed to get to the garage. My stomach twisted painfully. If anything happens to her, I will rip that pack apart, and not even the council will be able to stop me. I tried to call Ryley but it went straight to voicemail.

“F*ck,” I growled, frustrated. Luca met me at my truck. “She isn’t answering,” I told him, climbing in behind the wheel. Luca took the passenger seat. I immediately called Aspen back. I needed to know what was going on. The call went through the speakers before I ripped out of the garage and away from the pack house. This, two-hour drive was going to be hell. “Dad?” Aspen answered. “What’s going on? Are you boys at the cabin?” I rushed out. My heart was pounding in my chest. “Channing and I are at the cabin. Channing has Walter on the phone. But Dad, we heard howling.” He said in despair. “I’m about to go get her. I won’t let that f**ker kill her,” I heard Channing growl out. “And she would never forgive herself if anything happened to you. She told us to go back to the cabin.” Aspen told him. “How far out is Walter? I’m on my way now with Luca. We should be there in an hour.” “Walter is about ten minutes out.” He answered. “Does Ryley have her phone?” I questioned. “I don’t think so. Did something happen? She seemed off today?” Aspen asked. I quickly looked at Luca who was staring at me. 22.41% 11:51 Chapter Forty One “Not that I know of. But what happened? Why did the pack attack?” I exclaimed, speeding down the road that exited the pack. I was easily doing double the speed limit. “I don’t know. Walter couldn’t be here until later so Ryley wanted to walk the fence. That’s when we say the pack. Dad, he was planning on killing all of us. If Ryley can’t defend us, they will attack the cabin.” He breathed out. I could hear the panic in his voice. He was scared and so was I. I gripped the steering

wheel until my knuckles turned white. If anything was to happen to any of them, there was nothing that was going to stop Gunner. ” ‘Aspen just stay on the line with me. We will be there as soon as we can. Stay indoors and lock everything. Only open the door for Walter and Ryley.” I explained. “Dad, what if she’s hurt? We should have stayed to protect her.” Aspen cried. And listening to my son cry, broke my heart. “Aspen, her job is to protect you and Channing. And she is doing that. If she can kick my a*s, I know she will be okay.” Luca tried to reassure him. “He’s right, son. You did the right thing. She wouldn’t have been able to think clearly if she was worried about you two.” I told him. “Walter’s here,” I heard Channing call out. I heard a bunch of m**fled noises and a door slamming. “Where is Ryley?” I heard Walter exclaim. “She hasn’t returned,” Channing answered him. I could hear the despair in his voice. “I’ll go get her. You two stay here,” he commanded. Chapter Forty-One “Walter, my beta, and I are on our way,” I yelled through the phone. I knew Aspen had me on speaker. “Good. It would seem my son needs a good a*s kicking.” He scoffed. I heard more rustling before I heard gasps. I couldn’t make out what was happening. “There’s so much blood,” I heard Channing cry out. My heart twisted painfully and I increased my speed. “What the hell is happening?” I screamed. “Ryley’s back but shifted. She is covered in blood Dad. I can’t even tell what color her wolf is. And I don’t know if it’s all hers or not. She’s limping.” Aspen said panicked. “She went into the bathroom and closed the door. She hasn’t shifted back. I don’t know how bad she is. And Walter doesn’t want to leave us to find his son.” He cried.

“Dad, there is so much blood.” I was ready to rip the steering wheel off the column. My blood was boiling with a fury I don’t think I’ve ever felt before. “Stay in the cabin, I’ll be there soon,” I told him before ending the call. “Blake you need to calm down. We don’t need to start a war,” Luca spoke to me calmly. He has seen firsthand the kind of monster Gunner can be. “It wouldn’t be a war. It would be an execution.” I growled, adjusting my grip on the wheel. There was nothing Luca could say to reason with me. Ryley was hurt and that f**ker was going to pay.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
