Fated to my Enemy

Chapter 53

Chapter Fifty-Three Alpha Blake After Ryley had been gone for a few minutes my father also excused himself leaving me alone with my mother and Gwen. This just went from worse to unimaginable. I know my mother likes Gwen but when I witnessed how she treated Aspen, nothing was ever going to happen between us. I didn’t tell my mother why but now I think I should have. Then maybe she would stop trying to make something happen that was never going to. And now my glass is empty. I wonder if it would look bad if I excused myself. I could fake an emergency. “How’s it going?” Luca was in my head. “Oh, thank g*d, help me,” I pleaded. “That bad?” He chuckled. “Ryley excused herself and my mother invited Gwen to sit with us.” “I’ll be right there,” he rushed out, ending the link. “I would love to have more grandbabies,” I heard my mother say. I inhaled my saliva and started to cough. Panic filled my body at that thought. “I love children and would love to have a few,” Gwen told her. “See, Blake, wouldn’t that be lovely?” My mother asked. I just stared at her. I didn’t know what to say. I never thought about having kids with anyone but my mate. And with her gone, I was happy just to have Aspen. 0.00% ||| 11:56 Chapter Fifty-Three 288 Nouchets “I have Aspen,” I said, just before Luca came rushing into the dining

room. “Alpha,” he exclaimed, getting everyone’s attention. I didn’t say make a scene, I said help me. “Luca, it’s good to see you. How are you and your family?” My mother asked him with a smile as he approached the table. I could see Gwen glaring at his interruption.. “Everyone is good, Luna Elizabeth. I hope we get a chance to catch up before you leave. But right now, I need to speak with Blake.” Luca told her. I quickly stood up, not wanting to stick around. “Can’t you handle it, Beta Luca?” Gwen pouted. “I’m sure it’s important. Luca is capable of handling many issues without the alpha’s assistance. Lunas will always have to be understanding,” my mother said to Gwen and Luca gave me a questioning look. I mouthed the word help to him. I can’t believe my mother is doing this. If Ryley would have just told her something, Gwen wouldn’t be sitting at the table with us. But if I would have told her, my mother would be planning the wedding already. “Very important. Excuse us.” I announced. Luca nodded before we both rushed out, making our way to my office. “What the hell was that?” Luca questioned as we walked down the hall to my office. “I have no idea. My mother was asking Ryley about how she felt being Luna and her mate. And then Gwen showed up and my mother invited her to join us.” I explained. 22.20% ||| O 11:56 Chapter Fifty-Three 298 Vouchers “And where are the boys and your father?” He asked. “My father excused himself after Ryley.

office door. “F*ck,” he ran a hand down his face “Yeah, and then Gwen made a point to point out Ryley wasn’t part of a pack and she wouldn’t make a loyal Luna.” I groaned as I threw my head back. F*ck, even replaying everything that happened, I’m sure Ryley will never speak to me again. “And is that what you want?” “What?” I looked at him and he shrugged. “Do you want Ryley to be your Luna?” He clarified. “I just want a chance.” I breathed out. Luca didn’t get a chance to say anything as we both turned to the sound of an opening door. My father stepped into the hallway from Ryley’s office. That’s where she must have run too. I know she always locks the door. “Son, Luca, what are you doing up here? Did something happen?” My father questioned, walking towards us. I could smell Ryley on him. “I should be asking you the same thing?” I scoffed, standing straight with my arms crossed. My father just chuckled. I may be bulkier than him but he was the one who trained me. And logically, I know he has a mate, my mother. But I didn’t want her scent on anyone but me. “Blake, are you okay?” Luca stammered out, as I stared at my father. “I went to see if Ryley was okay after everything that wench said.” He 47.82% ||| 11:56 Chapter Fifty-Three growled, and I raised an eyebrow as Luca snicker beside me. “Aspen sent me a video of her and Ryley’s exchange.” He confessed and I was taken aback. He never said anything about this to me. “Your mother doesn’t know. But I never liked that girl. I knew something was off and that video proved

what I was suspecting all along.” He continued. “That she’s a gold-digging bi*ch,” Luca huffed. “Yeah, that.” “And Ryley?” I questioned. I wanted to know what he thought of her since he met her and saw the video. “Son, you can learn all you need to learn about someone with how they treat the staff. And Aspen is a good judge of character, he always has been and if he likes Ryley then you know she’s a good person. Now, you just have to decide what you want.” He answered. “I don’t want Gwen if that’s what you are asking. Mom was talking about babies and I wanted to disappear.” I exclaimed. Luca chuckled and my father smiled. “At least you have some sense.” He chuckled and Luca laughed before stopping abruptly. “Wait, would you have a kid with Ryley?” “The thought doesn’t make me want to vomit,” I shrugged and my father clasped my shoulder. “That’s a start, but you may want to tell her how you feel about her. And I would suggest not coming back to dinner. I’ll handle-your mother and we can have breakfast tomorrow morning.” My father said. 74.91% 11:56 “Thanks, dad.” 11:56
