Fated to my Enemy

Chapter 46

Chapter Forty-Six Ryley After my emotional breakdown on Blake’s shoulder and the boys were awake, I sent them to the dock to go fishing. I needed a moment to myself to comprehend everything that happened yesterday. And by working through everything, I was also cleaning. I knew Walter wanted to start construction on the extension we had planned. He may have soldthis place but he will always be allowed to be here. This will always be his second home. I was busy doing laundry when there was a quick knock at the door. I called out for them to enter before scolding myself for being so st**id. It could have been anyone and I just invited them in. Looking outside the bathroom door, which also holds the washer and dryer, I see Walter, Chris, and Evan. “There’s my girl, how are you feeling?” Walter askedas I exited the bathroom. “I’m good. The boys are out at the dock and I’m trying to get this place cleaned up. I may not be able to get here until after school starts. Channing has found a summer hockey team to play on while we are staying in Blake’s pack.” I told him as he gavea side hug. “Chris, Evan, I’m surprised to see you here. How are you feeling, Chris?” I asked him. “Nothing that won’t heal,” he shrugged. I gave him a nod. “Would anyone like a coffee? And please have a seat.” I motioned to the table. I didn’t want things to get awkward with the lack of Chapter Forty-Six 288 Wouchers conversation. “Coffee, would be great, thanks sweetie,” Walter kissed my temple. They all took a seat at the table as I gathered mugs for everyone. “I didn’t expect you this morning,” I said as I set down the mugs. I then grabbed the coffee pot and milk before sitting down at the table. The sugar was already at the table from my breakfast coffee.

“I wanted to cover and apologize for how I acted yesterday,” Chris said. I stopped mid-sip of my coffee.

“Oh.” I stammered. This was unlike him. “Alpha Blake spoke with the alpha,” Walter said. That would explain why Blake’s hands were covered in dried blood this morning. ” “Regardless, whatever Blake told your alpha was most likely about his son being present,” I said, as I put down my mug. My hands were beginning to tremble and I placed them in my lap. “Ryley, I’m here to apologize to you. This doesn’t have anything to do with what Alpha Blake told Phil.” Chris sighed. I wanted to call bu***hit but I kept that to myself. Blake is not someone you want as an enemy and his alpha knows that. “I appreciate the apology, Chris. I do. I hope we can move forward and be more civil to one another.” “Dad, told us, you bought this place,” Evan spoke for the first time. “Yes,” I answered. “I paid full market value. I would never take from Walter.” I rushed out, defending myself. 208 Wel heeg “I didn’t say that. But this was our mother’s favorite place, and now you own it.” He said. “Are you asking if you can visit?” I questioned, confused. “Would you allow that?” I looked at Walter. I’m not sure how to feel about this sudden change. “We are planning on having an extension built. But after it’s all finished, I’m sure we can all sit down and cup with a schedule. If that works for you, baby girl?” Walter answered. “I know how special this place is for all of you and I don’t want you to feel unwelchere. I’m sure after the renovations are finished, we can cup with a plan so we can all enjoy this place.” I told them. “And why would you do that?” Chris retorted. “Because I love Walter and he loves you. And I know how hard it is to lose a parent. If I had anything

from them, I would want to hold on to it.” I explained. Just then the front door opened and the boys cin with Blake following behind them. “Mom, are you okay?” Channing rushed out, looking around the table. “What the hell is he doing here?” Aspen growled. Blake grabbed his arm in warning. “I chere to apologize for my actions yesterday. I was out of line.” Chris said, standing up from his seat. Evan stood up as well. “You must be Alpha Blake,” Evan held out his hand to him. “I am, yes. And this is my son, Aspen.” Blake answered shaking his Chapter Forty-Six # 288 Vouchers hand. “Granddad, why are they here? He hurt Mom,” Channing scoffed. “I’m here to apologize,” Chris told him. “And we don’t accept your fake a*s apology. The only reason you are here is because Blake threatened your alpha.” He retorted. “Channing,” I scolded, standing up from the table. “Mom, you know it’s true. If Blake didn’t do what he did, neither one of them would be here.” “Channing’s right, I’m not buying this cr*p,” Aspen agreed with him. I walked over to the boys, now standing in front of them. I took hold of one of their cheeks so they would look at me. Both of them leaned into my touch as they looked down at “Ryley, he could have killed you,” Aspen sighed and my heart ached. “Chris and I had a disagreement. I believe the issue is settled. And I’m accepting his apology. No matter the reason why he is here, he is Walter’s son. We love Walter and that love extends to his family. I would love nothing more than for us to be a family.” I explained. I looked at both of the boys before gazing at Blake who was standing behind them. “I accept your apology. But I don’t trust you. And if you ever hurt my mom again, wolf or not, I’m killing you,” Channing growled out, looking at Chris.

“I would expect nothing less,” Chris told him. “Why don’t you boys get packed up? I’m just going to finish cleaning and then we will head home.” I said. Both of them gavea nod 74.03% = r 11:53 Chapter Forty-Six- before heading to their room.
