Fated to my Enemy (Ryley and Blake) novel Chapter 35

Chapter Thirty-Five
Alpha Blake
After Ryley exposed Clarke, I’ve been working hard to unravel his scheme within my company. I wasn’t going to let him live for his deceit. But I wanted to know how two people I believed I could trust thought it was okay to steal from me. From our pack. I hadn’t seen Ryley all week and that’s probably for the best. I didn’t want her to see me like this. I was furious and I made sure to call a meeting with the other CFOS. If anyone was stealing, I wanted to be told to my face. I shouldn’t have had to bring in an expert. If anyone of them were having financial issues, they should have come to me.
No one else admitted to stealing but I have Ryley looking through everything. If someone is, I told them the outcome would be more severe if I have to find it. They all swear to me they aren’t. I could have commanded them but I want them to come clean. I don’t want to have to force members of my pack to tell me the truth. It will all come out soon enough.
There was a quick knock on my office door before Luca stormed into my office. It was late on Friday and I was still going through paperwork.
“Dude, get ready. We have to meet the girls in an hour,” he exclaimed, standing in front of my desk.
“I’m not sure this is a good idea. It’s been a f**ked up week,” I told him, leaning back in my chair.
“And a great way to unwind is to have a few drinks with Ryley. I’m sure she is feeling the pressure as well. And Isabelle was able to get

her out so let’s go.” He demanded.
“Fine but if this doesn’t go well, I’m blaming you,” I retorted.
“And what do I get if you get laid?” He chuckled and I growled.
“Okay, fine,” he held up his hands in surrender.
“I’ll meet you out front in thirty minutes,” I told him.

“Maybe dress not so stuck up,” he called out after we had left my office and I was heading away from him towards the stairs. I just shook my head as I headed up the stairs. F**ker. Just because I have style doesn’t make me stuck up. And besides, I still have to look professional. I’m the alpha.
I was waiting outside for my beta. I was dressed in dark jeans and a Henley shirt. I trimmed my beard and made sure my hair was styled. Luca pulled up in his car with Aiden riding shotgun.
“F*ck Alpha, don’t you look s*xy,” Aiden purred, leaning out of the window.
“F*ck off, get in the back,” I told him, shaking my head.
“Oh, you like to be the little spoon?” They both snickered.
“I can tell you both neither one of you is good enough for me,” I said, as Aiden moved to the backseat and I took the passenger seat.
“Awe, that’s not fair. I’m pretty se*y,” Luca whined
“You have a mate, you idiot,” I chuckled.
“I’m sure she would give me up in a second. No challenge needed,” he groaned.

“I wonder why,” I told him as he pulled out of the pack house driving
way.
“Luca, I’m sure she would fight for you. Maybe not very hard but she would try,” Aiden tried to reassure him.
“She would pay Blake to take me off her hands,” Aiden and I both laughed.
“I don’t think she has enough money.” I chuckled. Luca looked over at me, shocked.
“F*ck, I need new friends.” He exclaimed. And that just made us laugh harder.
“We can find you some tonight,” I grabbed his shoulder, as he cursed us under his breath.
FINL
By the time we got to the bar, I finally felt relaxed. It had been a long stressful week. And after one of the best weekends I had in a long time. Nothing should have been able to kill my happy mood but Clarke did.
Luca parked the car and we headed inside. The first person I noticed was Ryley. She was in light blue jeans and a navy V-neck shirt. Her shoulder-length blonde hair was curled and her makeup was light. She was se*y as hell as she danced with Isabelle on the dance floor.
“Hot da*n,” Aiden whistled beside me. We were both stuck in our spots watching the woman as Luca went to greet his mate, Becky. He jokes about her leaving him but I know she loves him. She wouldn’t have spent the last twenty years with him if she didn’t.
Isabelle noticed Aiden and rushed off the dance floor, into his arms. Ryley was watching from the dance floor. She had stopped-dancing and was watching me intently. She glanced over at the table where

Luca and his mate were sitting. She turned her attention back to me with a smirk on her face as she crossed her arms over her chest.
“Really,” she mouthed. I just shrugged, acting innocent. I was a part of this entire plan but she didn’t need to know that.
