Fated to my Enemy (Ryley and Blake) novel Chapter 26

Chapter Twenty-Six
Alpha Blake
I entered the store ready to kill. I watched Ryley through the windows of the store as I pumped the fuel. And those f**kers were following her around, harassing her. It was a good thing they were human and they backed off as soon as I stepped between her and them. I smiled as they all were whispering s*it about me.
I could smell one of them on her neck and discreetly rubbed my cheek against her to cover up his scent with my own. Her smelling like another male, infuriated me.
“How do you think she felt with you smelling like Gwen when you told her nothing was going on with you two?” Gunner growled.
“I should have changed,” I told him, frustrated with myself.
I wasn’t surprised when Ryley told me things like that happen often. She’s gorgeous. But she shouldn’t have to put up with it. No means no. And I instantly knew she was too good for any of them. These guys walked out behind us and I pulled her close. The game was over but I didn’t want to let her go.
“I’ll drive and you give me directions,” I leaned in and whispered. My eyes darted behind us to see those guys still watching.
I pulled back, and Ryley locked her eyes on mine. She let go of my hand and placed it on my chest. My heart rate increased under her touch. Every place Ryley touched was on fire.
“I’m not some passenger princess,” she smirked as she ran her hand over my chest. I fought the shiver that ran down my spine. Her eyes

never leave mine.
I could still feel their eyes on us. Too bad they were oblivious to the danger they were in. One quick move and the three of them would be lying dead in a pool of blood.
“How about just for today?” I leaned down and mumbled against her cheek. Her breathing became harsh, as her heart rate increased. I was enjoying having this effort of her. She may not want me but her body sure does.
“Fine,” she sighed. I pulled her into my side, wrapping an arm-around her waist. I lead her over to the vehicle with her pulled against my side. I opened the passenger side door and helped her in before closing the door for her.
Gunner scuffed when I noticed the guys still watching from a beat-up old pickup truck. If they follow, it would be my pleasure to rip those f**kers apart. I climbed behind the wheel and passed the bag to Ryley.
“Thanks for that,” she smiled as she placed the soda bottles in the cup holders between us.
“There’s no need to thank me. If they were wolves I would have ripped them apart,” I growled and she chuckled. I looked over at her after I started the vehicle.
“What?” I asked her, unsure about her reaction.
“Nothing. But that could have started a war,” she answered, shaking
her head.
“Well, then they would learn not to do s*it like that again. Regardless, they shouldn’t be treating anyone like that. And an alpha who would defend their actions doesn’t deserve to be alpha,” I told her, her stormy grey eyes locked with mine.

“I may have pegged you all wrong,” she shrugged.
“How so?” I asked, turning my focus to the road ahead. I pulled out of the fuel station, Ryley pointing to make a left turn back onto the main road.
“You’re not as stu**d as you look,” she smirked.
“I’ll take that as a compliment, coming from you,” I chuckled.”
“It was meant as one, Blake. For an alpha, you’re a pretty decent one,” she said.
“I hope one day, you’ll enlighten me on your hatred for alphas,” I shrugged before glancing at her for a moment.
“I don’t hate all alphas. I just don’t trust them. And I have my reasons. My biggest is Channing.” She sighed. She grabbed the bag of chips. Opening the bag, she offered me the first hand full.
“And you trust me?” I questioned, eating the chips.
“I guess I do. I don’t have a reason not to trust you. Do I? It’s just hard to let people in when you’ve been on your own for so long. Every wolf I meet tries to push me to join a pack, but I haven’t felt the need for one since I had Channing. It’s better if it’s just me and Channing.”
“But what if you could stay in a pack, but not join?” I asked her, I could feel her eyes burning a hole in the side of my head.
“I don’t understand. No alpha would risk his pack for a lone wolf and her son. And then I would always be an outcast. Living with the humans, at least no one knows I’m different. No one knows Channing is different. It’s easier to hide within the cities of humans.” She answered. She changed the subject to directions, as I turned down a dirt road. She’s hiding from someone. That’s why she won’t join a

pack. She’s afraid her ex will find her and Channing
We sat in silence as we ate the chips. The road, if you could call it that was bumpy and we were bouncing around in our seats. The forest was dense, and the road became more of a path the further we ventured forward.
“I can see why you didn’t want Channing to drive his car.” I grumbled. my teeth chattering from the bumps.
“Yeah, it’s a little rough.” She giggled.
“A little? I’m fearful for my truck,” I chuckled.
“Is that not what a truck is for?”
“You clearly haven’t seen my son drive.”
