Fated to my Enemy

Chapter Eighty–Six

The next morning, I was sitting in my office. I was told by Blake’s lawyers that I wasn’t allowed to work until the matter with Isaac’s firm was resolved. And then I could be officially hired by Blake’s pack. It was weird having nothing to do but think.

I may have told Blake everything but I was still thinking about everything Lisa had told me. If Dorian wasn’t a part of the plan to overthrow my pack then why didn’t he warn me? And why lie to me when he was here? And attack me in my kitchen?

My mind was racing and my wolf still wasn’t awake. And I had nothing to focus my mind on. So I did the one thing I shouldn’t do in a situation like this, I grabbed my keys and left my office. I needed answers and I wasn’t going to get them here.

The boys were at training and Blake was getting caught up with the work he missed yesterday so I knew my absence wouldn’t be noticed. This was probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever done and I don’t have Lily to protect me, but this is something that I need to do, alone.

I have a feeling Lisa will be more willing to speak openly to me if it is just the two of us. And I’ve looked her up, she has done some wonderful things for my former pack. She is a good Luna and person. And other women may think I’m nuts for wanting to get to know my ex’s mate but none of this is her fault. Even if she was seeing Dorian when he was seeing me, she wasn’t a part of our relationship and had no obligation to me and my feelings.

I climbed into my SUV before pulling up maps on my phone. I put in

the address before placing it in a cup holder. When I was ready, I started my vehicle and made my way out of the Orion pack.

I turned up the radio as I drove along the highway to a place I never thought I would visit again. And I could be driving to my death. Dorian could lock me up and throw away the key, but I’m praying Lisa wasn’t lying. If she was, why would she show up to Blake’s pack to see me?

None of this made sense and I’ve spent too much of my life wondering what could have happened. Or what was the actual truth. I needed answers, and if going to the place and seeing the person who almost killed me, gives me the answers I’m searching for, then it’s worth it. It has to be. I’ve lived too much of my life in fear and I was done hiding. I see the kind of life I can have with Blake and that’s what I want.

I’m tired of lying to myself and saying I was happy with my life before Blake. I was content with my life. Channing was growing up and he had everything he needed, but I was lonely. I didn’t realize how much I craved a mate and pack until I was a part of one again. And I know Lily would be saying she told me so if she was awake, but I was scared. I was scared to open myself up again just to be hurt. The first time should have killed me. The fall over the cliff. Me jumping off of the bridge. But still, I’m here, fighting for a life I’ve been craving.

My stomach twisted painfully as I pulled up to the pack gate. I rolled down my window as a warrior approached.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Miss, how can I help you?” He asked me.

“I’m here to see Luna Lisa,” I informed him.

“And who are you?” He demanded.

“Ryley Halliwell. She and I spoke yesterday.” I told him.

“Let me confirm with the Luna.” I nodded. It was strange to see how the smaller packs guard their gates compared to Blake’s pack which is run more like a city. This would take too much manpower to do in Blake’s pack. There are mostly just cameras up, taking pictures of plates and warriors running them. Unless it’s someone important. If an alpha was to show up, he needs to check in or it could be seen as an act of war.

“Miss, the Luna has confirmed your visit. Please follow the road to the pack house.” He instructed. I thanked him before the gates opened and I drove into the Aurora Mountain Pack, now known as the Evergreen Pack.

Everything looked the same as I drove to the pack house. It was like stepping back in time as the pack house came into view. This used to be my home and now it was his. He and his new family. We were meant to be together, soul mates and now we were nothing to each other.

Luna Lisa was waiting for me as I pulled up and parked my SUV. As I climbed out, she approached me.

“I didn’t expect to see you again,” she said.

“I didn’t expect to ever be here again, but I need answers and I think we should talk. I’m not here to hurt you or to take anything from you. I just want to know what happened eighteen years ago.” I told her.

“What would you like to know?” She asked.

“Can we take a walk? I don’t want to go in the pack house and there’s a place I would like to see again.” I asked her and she nodded.

“Lead the way and we can talk as we walk.” She said. I started to walk to the east of the pack house and Lisa kept pace with me. I wasn’t sure why but I had a feeling I was going to get more answers than I
