Fated to my Enemy

Chapter 60

Chapter Sixty Ryley An excessive beeping woke me from my not-so-peaceful sleep. The beeping became louder as I remembered the events of what happened. I don’t know what day it is but I know I saw Dorian. And he met Channing. He knows he has a son. I sat up, blinking away the haze before looking around the room. My breathing was harsh as I groaned from the dull pain in my side. “Channing,” I yelled, trying to focus my vision. “Ryley, breathe, baby. Channing is safe.” Blake was sitting on the side of the bed I was lying in. The room was white and smelled like disinfectant. He rested his forehead against mine, taking a hold of my cheeks. My breathing was still harsh but his touch started to calm me. “Where are they?” “Aspen is with him at hockey practice,” he said, and my panic started to rise again. “Breathe. I have warriors with them. I would never let anything happen to him. Luca has eyes on your ex and his pack members. You’re safe, baby, no one is going to hurt you.” He whispered the last few words before his lips touched mine. And once again we were interrupted when the door opened and someone walked in. Blake’s chest grumbled as he rested his forehead against mine again. 0.00% ||| 11:58 < Chapter Sixty

“It’s nice to meet you,” my voice came out raspy. Blake reached over and grabbed me a glass filled with water. I’m thankful he held the straw to my lips. My limbs felt heavy. “I feel tired,” I answered him after the glass was empty. The cool liquid soothed my dry throat. Blake returned the glass to the table before taking hold of my hand. I haven’t seen this side of him before. He always seemed so tense around me, like he was afraid of doing something wrong. But this Blake seemed more natural and I liked it. “You lost quite a bit of blood. There was a large wooden splitter preventing your wolf from healing. As soon as I removed it, the wound closed. I’m surprised you’re awake already. It’s only been a few hours since you were brought-in,” Dr. Perry explained. “Does that mean I can go home?” I asked him. The doctor glanced at Blake, causing me to look at the alpha. There was something he hadn’t told me yet. “I’ll give you two a few minutes,” the doctor said, before quickly leaving the room. “Ryley, we need talk,” he sighed. “About you kissing me or calling me baby?” I asked with a smirk. “Sm****ss,” he chuckled shaking his head. I reached up, caressing his cheek. He leaned into my touch as I swiped my thumb across his bottom lip. He shivered, closing his eyes, he leaned his forehead against mine again. “F*ck,” he breathed out: I smiled at the effect I had on him. He has the same effect on me. 22.12% ||| O 11:58 Chapter Sixty Blake let out a growl when the boys rushed into the room. Both ignored him as they filled the bed, pushing Blake out of the way.

“Mom, I’m so glad you’re okay.” Channing hugged me. Aspen hugged me from the other side and I wrapped my arms around both of them. “I want to hear all about hockey but first I want to know about your wolves. Why did you shift early?” I questioned. “To protect you. As soon as you told us to run, we were terrified something was going to happen to you. I never thought it would have been Channing’s dad.” Aspen answered. “Sweetie, are you okay?” I asked him, caressing his cheek. が “It’s weird. I should feel something because he’s my father but I don’t feel anything. All I cared about was keeping you safe.” Channing said, leaning his head on my shoulder. My heart ached for him. I had my reason to keep him away from his father but it doesn’t ease my guilt. “I don’t blame you, mom. He tried to kill you.” He said as Aspen cuddled into the other side of me. I think they forgot they were the size of a grown man and now I was squished between them on this small bed. “} “He underestimated how strong you are,” Aspen mumbled. I kissed both boys on the forehead before looking at Blake. He was sitting in a chair beside the bed. “Ryley, we need to talk about your living situation. I need you to move to the pack.” Blake said. “Okay,” I nodded. “And I know you are going to fight me but I can’t protect you if you go back to the city. Wait, did you agree with me?” He asked confused. I 49.76% 11:58 O < Chapter Sixty. 288 (Vouchers

just nodded. “The boys had asked me to consider moving closer. I have been looking into it. I’ve been trying to get a hold of Isaac or Isabella. I’m supposed to be up for a promotion. But I haven’t been able to speak to either of them.” I explained. “Mom, what if you can’t work remotely?” Channing asked. “Then I quit. You are what’s most important and if you want to live here, then I’ll try my best to make it happen. I was going to find a house in the closest city but it would seem I need to find one in the pack.” I told them. “You already have one. You two can move into the pack house with ús.” Aspen announced: ” “Aspen, that’s a big step,” I stammered, trying to process what he just said. I know wolves usually move fast. They find their mates. Mark, mate, and move in within days but this is different. And terrifying. “Ryley, the house needs repairs and we have extra rooms on our floor. No one will bother you. I promise.” Blake said, leaning forward, resting his hand my my leg. “Okay, for now,” I sighed, agreeing. “Good, the doctor mind-linked me and said you can go home to rest. And a nurse will be in soon to remove your IV. Also, Alpha Dorian wants to speak with you before he’ll leave.”
