Fated to my Enemy (Ryley and Blake)
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 tothe cabin for the night. I haven't spoken to her since last night and I haven't been able to stopthinking about her. Maybe if I would have stayed the night with her? She could have woken up inmy 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 heavilylike he was running.

"Where are you? Are you hurt?” I growled, my blood boiling. I was already up from my desk andrushing 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 warriorswith 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 Imind-linked Luca.

“Garage now. Shadow Moon is attacking Ryley’s cabin.”

"What the f*ck?” Luca replied. I didn't answer. I picked up my speed to get to the garage. Mystomach twisted painfully. If anything happens to her, I will rip that pack apart, and not even thecouncil 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. Iimmediately called Aspen back. I needed to know what was going on. The call went through thespeakers before I ripped out of the garage and away from the pack house. This, two-hour drive wasgoing 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 grow! out.

"And she would never forgive herself if anything happened to you. She told us to go back to thecabin.” 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 atLuca who was staring at me.

“Not that I know of. But what happened? Why did the pack attack?” I exclaimed, speeding down theroad 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 wesay the pack. Dad, he was planning on killing all of us. If Ryley can't defend us, they will attack thecabin.” He breathed out. I could hear the panic in his voice. He was scared and so was I. I grippedthe 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 lockeverything. 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 myson 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 knowshe 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 wasworried 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.

"Walter, my beta, and I are on our way,” I yelled through the phone. I knew Aspen had me onspeaker.

"Good. It would seem my son needs a good a*s kicking.” He scoffed. I heard more rustling before Iheard 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 myspeed.

"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 Idon'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 badshe is. And Walter doesn't want to leave us to replace his son.” He cried.

“Dad, there is so much blood.” I was ready to rip the steering wheel off the column. My blood wasboiling 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 seenfirsthand 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. Therewas nothing Luca could say to reason with me. Ryley was hurt and that f**ker was going to pay.
