Fated to my Enemy by Diane Doherty

Book Two Chapter Seventeen

Alpha Blake

Fuck, | hate leaving my mate when she is so upset. | promised her | would keep her informed but things

changed when | received a call from her father. He was now waiting in my office and askednot to involve his

daughter. He wasn’t the one who was going to feel her wrath, it was me. And that’s going to make for a very

unbearable Alpha.

| walked into my office and Everett stood up from his seat. My father was with him. My mother and he had

moved back to the pack and away from the council. He informed me, that more than a few others had moved

back to their packs. It was no secret that | was going up against the council for what they did to my Luna and

unborn child.

“How is she?” Everett rushed out.

“Pis sed, but what did you expect? She is eight weeks pregnant and her mate is keeping secrets,” | retorted. He

growled but | wasn’t in the mood. My wife was pis sed and she had no idea her father was even here.

“They know about Elaine,” he confessed and | stopped before | reached my chair behind my desk.

“What?” | looked at him.

“Our pack is small so finding the people who used descenter was easy but not before one reported back to the

council. I've moved her to somewhere safe but | need a place for my pack, Blake. And if they had people in my

pack, they have people here. They are coming and they won't stop,” he explained. | cursed, pinching the bridge

of my nose.

Things just went from back to worse.

“Luca, my office now,” | demanded through the link.

“You and your pack are welchere. But | don’t know how I'm going to be able to hide any of this from Ryley.

I'm going to have to triple- check my staff and track down anyone who has been caught selling this s hit. Did

anyone contact you from the council?” | questioned.

“We didn’t give them a chance to. We killed their people and left everything behind. | moved Elaine into hiding

and Eli is with her. If we are going to war, Blake, we better do it quick.”

There was a knock on my office door and Luca walked in with his son, Landon, following behind him.

“Where's Aspen?” | asked him.

“He’s out.” | gave him a pointed look. | know he wasn’t at hso where could my son be running off to? He

doesn’t tellmuch these days, but I'm sure his mother knows.

“Alpha Everett, what are you doing here?” Luca shook hands with my father-in-law.

“We have a situation, Luca, and it’s not good,” | told him.

“Landon, I'm going to need you on the streets to find out everything you can on who is selling a spray or pills

that mask your scent. It's to blend into a pack that isn’t yours. And with a pack this big, it’s easy for them to

blend in.” I ordered.

“Yes, Alpha,” he nodded.

“You think the council is hiding inside our pack,” Luca questioned.

“I know they are. They cinto my pack. They know about Elaine

being a Luna Wolf. The only thing stopping them from taking my daughter is her second chance mate.” He

pointed at me.

“But how does the council know you aren’t her fated mate? Her fated mate is dead. Is there anyone alive to

confirm?” Luca asked him.

“I don’t know but | wasn’t willing to risk it.”

“We need to figure out when Luna Wolves start to experience their special abilities. If we knew when it started,

we could track down any hiding in my pack. They probably don’t even know about the powers they have. Ryley

didn’t know she was able to see through people’s memories until she joined my pack. So that must have started

after she got her wolf.” | told them.

“I can ask Elaine what she remembers and maybe her wolf’ can help us with sof those answers. | don’t want

Ryley to worry about any of this. She has enough to deal with.” | agreed with him. She has more than enough to

deal with. Channing is going back to school soon and she is going to be stressing over his safety.

“Then the first step is to find anyone who isn’t a pack member. | know there are wolves here who are not a part

of my pack but | didn’t mind as long as they weren't causing/trouble, but now, they could be working for the

council. I won't risk it.”

“That's going to take weeks, Blake. And we are going to need more men. Unless you are going to knock on every

door of every house in the city,” Luca pointed out.

“If that’s what | need to do, then we start tomorrow morning. | will not let the council win this. They have no right

to cinto my pack and threaten my family,” 1/growled. | was ready to storm the council and kill off the

members myself. | knew stopping payments was going to cause sblowback, and | should have expected

this. We increased men at the borders/and are stopping everyone coming in and out of the

city.

“Blake, you may need to think about asking Ryley for her help in this. With one command, they will open their

minds and she can see if they are telling the truth.” My father said.

“You want to use my daughter?” Everett yelled.

“In a controlled environment, Everett. | would never put my daughter in-law or my grandchildren in danger. I'm

not saying, Ryley will walk around unprotected, but people trust her. If we moved against the pack, it would look

bad. We want to handle this calmly and without notice that there is an issue. She can identify a pack member

without saying a word to anyone. Son, | know this isn’t what you want to hear, but we can’t risk scaring the

entire pack without proof the council is here.” he clarified. | flopped back into my chair.

“Luca?” | looked at my beta. What my father said made sense, but what if this was a trap? | can’t risk my pack,

but | won't risk Ryley.

“You can't seriously be thinking of risking my daughter's life?” Her father bellowed.

“She may be your daughter, Everett, but she is my mate, my wife. She is carrying my child.” | retorted, standing

from my seat.

“I know what she would say, Blake, and it’s not the answer you want to hear. She can help. We can start small,

like trips to the mall and different stores, even restaurants. The Alpha and Luna are on a date, while Ryley is

secretly working on making sure the pack is safe,” my beta replied. It sounded good, in theory, but something

could go

wrong.

“And if something goes wrong?” | questioned my stomach in knots. | didn’t want to think about the outcif

something happened to her and our child.

“We won't let anything happen to her. To everyone, it would look like an outing and we will have eyes and ears

everywhere. Everything will be planned out.” He assured me.

“I don't like this, Blake,” Everett shook his head.

“I'm not deciding right now. Landon, see what you can find, discreetly. Dad, you and Luca cup with a model

that | can look over. And Everett, let's get your pack moved in.”
