Fated to my Enemy

Chapter 34

Chapter Thirty-Four Ryley It’s been a hell of a week after our little getaway to the cabin. I was feeling conflicted about Blake and everything that had happened between us over the weekend. Thankfully, I’ve been drowning in work this past week to keep my mind off of Blake. I knew nothing could come of us and there was no point in trying to figure out how to make it work. Now it’s Friday afternoon and my friend Isabelle has been text begging me to go out with her tonight. She started this uphill battle on Tuesday and she hasn’t let up. My phone chimed on my desk and I groaned. I wasn’t one to go out. I never had time or people I wanted to hang out with. I do like Isabelle. We became instantly friends but I don’t know about going out to drink. Before I could look at my phone there was a knock on the door. I called for the person to enter ignoring my phone. I watched as an excited Isabelle walked into my office. She let out a squeal as she looked around. “This office is beautiful!” She exclaimed, sk**ping to the front of my desk. “Isabelle I was just about to text you,” I said and she sat down in a chair in front of the desk. “No you weren’t,” she rolled her eyes. “Okay, maybe, but it’s not because I don’t want to see you. I’m just not sure about the location you chose,” I shrugged. 0.00% 11:49

Chapter Thirty-Four “Then how about we just go out for dinner and we can see where the night takes us,” she smiled. “Fine,” I breathed out. She let out a squeal before rushing around the desk to hug me. “I’ll pick you up at your place for eight!” She exclaimed before leaving my office. Eight, I thought,

confused. Shouldn’t people be getting ready for bed not dinner? And what do I wear? “F*ck,” I mumbled before slamming my laptop shut. I already hate that I said yes to this. I decided since it was already four in the afternoon that I would pack up and head home. I had to get myself m**tally prepared for this, especially after the week I just had. Blake has had to deal with Mr. Clarke when I found he was stealing consistently over the last year. It’s not as much as I originally found, but stealing is stealing. And I know how much Blake pays everyone. It’ s really good money. And he is fair with time off and insurance. All of these companies would be great to work for. I’m not sure what he’s going to do with him, but I’m sure it’s nothing good. He is a powerful alpha after all. When I got home Channing and Aspen were watching tv in the living room. Aspen has been here all week after our weekend together. Even if Channing wasn’t here, Aspen was now living with us and he took the other bedroom. I didn’t mind, I love the kid. And he was great company. “Mom, you’re home early?” Channing asked as I walked into the living room. “I guess I’m going out with Isabelle tonight for dinner,” I shrugged, flopping down on the loveseat. 28.74% Chapter Thirty-Four “Everyone seems to be going out,” Aspen said and I furrowed my brows. “Everyone?” I questioned: “Yeah, my dad is as well.” He answered and my heart sank. I know I shouldn’t be jealous, I have no right to be. But I didn’t want to think of Blake being out with anyone else. “Well, I should go get ready. Are you boys going to be okay to get dinner yourselves?” I asked, standing up from the seat. “We’ll order pizza. Don’t worry about us.” Channing said before I headed up to my room.

Inow had three hours to get ready and I didn’t want to. I wanted to call and cancel just in case we run into Blake with his date. I don’t think I’d be able to handle that. “It would seem you are falling pretty hard for the alpha.” Lily chimed in and I sighed. “I just don’t want to see it. I enjoy his company but I can’t be what he needs. And if I were to cross that line. I don’t think I’d be able to leave him. And then I would have to face my ex again and all that would come to light. And you know how alphas are, Blake would want to fix it and he can’t.” I told her. “But he will protect us. We could be a family. And you could work for the pack. And Channing would have Aspen. It would be a win-win for everyone. We could all be happy,” she exclaimed. “Lily, I know but it’s more complicated than that. What if he was to leave? I have Channing to worry about.” I breathed out. She whimpered before returning to the back of my mind. Tears filled my eyes. I risked everything for a man who was my mate and he killed 62.37% 11:49 Chapter Thirty-four 11 288 (Vouchers everyone I loved. He almost killed me and Channing. How do I risk that again? I want Blake to love me, but if I fall, there’s no coming back up for air. And if he were to break my heart, I would die.
