Fated to my Enemy by Diane Doherty

Future Alpha Aspen

I sighed as I placed my phone back on the bedside table.

“Is everything okay?” Tessa called out from the bathroom before she walked into the bedroom.

“My brother. He is just worried about Mom. We didn’t tell him anything since he had exams.” I answered while she sat on the bed beside me as I lay on my back. She was wearing a silk camisole and shorts to bed. I couldn’t resist running my hand up her delicious thigh. “I told him, we would see him tomorrow.”

Tessa gripped my wrist when I slid my hand under the fabric of the shorts.

“I think we should talk first.‘

“Well that doesn’t sound good,” I muttered.

We had just come back to the pack house from the hospital where she had an ultrasound done. This was real as I watched our pup moving around. Their heart was beating strong and everything looked good. After, we went to see my mother, father, and new baby brother. Now, I just wanted to curl up in bed with my mate.

“It’s not bad, Aspen. We just haven’t talked about everything that had happened.” she sighed. I moved my hand to her bump and she placed a hand over mine.

“And what is it you would like to say? You’re my mate, Tessa, and we are having a baby.”

“With the council gone and the threat to your mother over, you will be going back to alpha training.”

“That’s what you are worried about? I’m not leaving the pack or you. I don’t care what my father says.” I reassured her. “Is there anything else?” She bit her bottom lip and I knew something was bothering her but she didn’t want to ask.

“Were you with anyone else?” She stammered. I watched as tears filled her eyes and she couldn’t look at me.

“Baby,” I sat up and caressed her cheek. “Never. As soon as you were gone, I was chasing you. Three months I spent on the road trying to find you until my father called.”

“I’m so sorry,” she cried and I pulled her against me.

“You don’t have to apologize. I don’t want you to doubt me or the feelings I have for you. Even if you weren’t pregnant, I still would want you. I would have protected you.” I laid back against the headboard and took her with me. I kissed her forehead as she cuddled into my side, resting her head on my chest.

I’ve missed having her in my arms. And the moment I saw her covered in all that blood, I was scared. I thought I was going to lose her and my mother.

“I didn’t want anything to happen to you. I also didn’t want to put your father in a position where he would have to decide. But he just took your mother instead,” she sobbed. I moved over on the bed and took her

“I would have protected you and I will for the rest of my life, baby. My father and mother would have protected you. My mother especially. She is the strongest wolf I know. Thank you for what you did to save her and my brother,” I snuggled her closer. “But I don’t want you to risk yourself or our baby ever again.”

“I didn’t want anyone getting hurt because of me,” she whispered.

“You sound a lot like my Mom when my Dad was trying to convince her to stay with him. Her ex–mate was still alive then and she didn’t want us getting hurt. But my dad was all in. There was no way she was getting away from him. And when the council took her, I’d never seen him scared before. She became his weakness, but he fought with everything to get her back.” I told her.

“They sound perfect for each other,” she sniffled.

“That’s everything I will do for you. Since the moment I met you, I

wanted your attention and now I know why. You were always meant to be mine.”

“And you’re mine.” novelbin

“Always, baby,” I kissed her forehead. “We are a family,” I said while I caressed her bump and I felt a little kick.

“Baby really like daddy,” Tessa rested a hand on mine.

“And Daddy loves his momma and him.”

“We don’t know it’s a boy. What if it’s a girl?” she gasped.

“I would love a little girl who looks just like her momma,” I smiled.

“I have a feeling its a boy since I’ve been really sick,” she sighed.

“Do you feel better now?”

“Since I’ve been reunited with you, I haven’t felt sick,” she rested her chin on my chest and looked up at me.

“Maybe that was baby’s way of saying it wanted daddy,” I chuckled.

“Probaby. I miss Daddy just as much,” she kissed my bare chest before resting her head again.

It didn’t take long before her breathing evened out and she was asleep.

“She has been through enough. Now, it’s our turn to take care of her and our pup,” Bliz chimed in.

“I’m never letting her go and I would have killed that alpha if he would have come to the

pack looking for her. I’m glad that fucker is dead but I wish I was the one who killed him.”
