Fated to the Enemy 22 Stupid question
Dahlia's POV 'It's okay Dahlia, you didn't speak out of place, just take some deep breaths.''I never should have asked to call my mother, that was such a stupid question!'I yelled more at myself than anything else. Anger seeped through me as I thought back to asking that one question, one that was just enough to help root that seed of doubt he already holds when it comes to me.Maybe he will see it as a child just wanting their mother. Highly doubtful though. Now I am standing in this damn bathroom, staring at myself in the mirror. My eyes looked dull, as if they were lacking their usual vibrancy. Almost the way they would look after being down in my other room for a week or two.Yet I haven't been deprived of anything that last day. They have fed me, I've had the sun on my face, and slept well. Actually, now that I'm thinking of that, I slept better than I ever had before. When I finally fell asleep I slept hard. No nightmares plagued me for a change, I felt refreshed instead of o
Fated to the Enemy 23 Control
Dahlia's POV Continued As I opened the door I came chest height with the man in front of me. Trailing my eyes up I looked at the face that was almost exactly the same as that of Alpha Damien.For a moment I was frozen until I blinked again to see the eyes. The man in front of me had dark green eyes that held a glow to them that made my breath hitch.His wolf was right there, front and center as he took me in. Something I felt I should feel threatened by, yet for some reason I didn't fear his wolf, rather I felt curious about him as he sniffed the air around me before a wicked smile took his features. "You hold my Alphas scent, it's faint, but there."I felt my eyes widen at his words, my words were caught in the back of my throat as my lips parted to speak but nothing managed to make its way past my lips."Don't worry darling, I won't hold it against you. I do need you to come with me though, yes?"His hand reached out to me, my eyes following his actions before I watched my hand re
Fated to the Enemy 24 Bond
Alpha Damien's POV When I opened the door, the scent of blood mixing into her strong scent made my body shimmer as I fought shifting.Cursing in my mind at Mikko for him being so destructive with his actions. We were fighting with one another in the office before opening the door to the issue in front of us.'I can feel her wolf, she's calling to me.''Don't pull her, let her discover this on her own, she just went through a rejection. I don't want her confused or hurt by discovering us so quickly.''You will NOT REJECT MY MATE!'He screamed out loudly within my mind making my hands grip my head from the pain he shot through me.'I never said I'd reject her Mikko!''You forget I can feel your trepidation towards her! I can feel your struggle with her, but she isn't what you think she is Damien! She is something so much more than even you have got yet.'That's when I felt it, the way he pulled at her, the way he called to her before she was ready. Feeling her wolf push into me, the w
Fated to the Enemy 25 Awakened
Alpha Damien's POV Continued After about an hour I sat down on the couch next to where she slept. She looked peaceful, unlike last night as she slept within the chair.She wasn't talking in her sleep either but I could feel her wolf now. She was strong, strengthening the both of them in a way I had never felt come from a female before.Mikko wanted to claim her but I managed to talk him down. He needs to understand that there is every possibility that she won't want us, or trust us. Not that we know if we can trust her or not yet either.He believes she can be trusted, which I can feel from her as well, but the fear that the bond is blinding me is a real concern as well. Our feelings matter, but we have an entire pack to think about, not just us.If we weren't in the position we were in, then I wouldn't give it a second thought. Look at her. She is beautiful, strong, her heart reaches out to mine with every beat it makes, yet, I worry.I've lost so much in my life, I truthfully don't
Fated to the Enemy 26 Wanting to stay
Dahlia's POV When the bond allowed me to awaken again, my fear skyrocketed the moment I saw him. Despite feeling the bond, the way he was able to use it over me outweighed the want to go to him.Upon seeing him, sitting there so close to me I shot my body across the room before falling to the floor. Yet, my fear dissipated rather quickly when I could feel his remorse at his actions swirling around me as he made his way closer to me.I never had to worry about such an act with Christopher, him being a Beta, he wasn't stronger than Alanah and myself. Not that he ever tried, but who knows where all that would have gone considering he couldn't keep his dick in his pants.The abuse in that situation could have grown into so much more, yet knowing my father he would have forced me to stay in that situation, at least for the next year until my brother took his place among the pack.Losing my train of thought the images of my claws sinking into Beta Diaz took over my mind. I had caused harm
Fated to the Enemy 27 Getting to know you
Dahlia's POV Continued After we talked about things I felt more at ease here. His story about what happened to his first mate was nothing compared to what I had just gone through. the thought of losing, not only my mate, but my unborn child in the same moment, I can understand more now why those stories about it ran through the packs.Giving up control to his wolf so he wouldn't have to feel what life had done to him. You could see regret in his eyes as he spoke though, regret at allowing his wolf to do the things he had done.When you give an Alpha full reign like that, humanity goes out the door, compassion is no longer there, so the deaths that took place during that time were not in any way controlled.He talked to me about regret, regret for taking so many lives, innocent lives. Mother's, father's, children, all because he couldn't handle his own emotions. I was honestly surprised that he opened up to me about something I could clearly see was difficult for him to speak to me a
Fated to the Enemy 28 My Luna
Alpha Damien's POV My heart thundered in my chest, so harshly it felt like it was going to break my rib cage to escape me. Her eyes were incredibly seductive, yet you could see clearly that she wasn't trying to be. I held myself back from her, listening intently as she spoke about things she liked.The story of her baking for her brother did something to her though, it seemed to shift something inside of her mind when she mentioned her father. Pausing I could see she was struggling, like a wonderful happy memory that had been taken away from her because of him.I wanted to push, wanted her to tell me what happened but even Mikko knew that we shouldn't overstep. If she wants to eventually tell us things, she will, in her own time.After pushing for her to feel the bond, I can feel Mikkos guilt from being so impatient. He so desperately wanted her to feel what he was feeling but he went about it in a horrible way, one that could have ended badly. If she would have shifted, or we marke
Fated to the Enemy 29 Levi
Levi Knight's POVWhen my sister ran I felt the loss of her as she crossed the borders. I knew that my mother had felt it as well because at that moment I heard her gasp before she began looking around frantically.My father growled then stormed off from the wedding hall as he trudged his way through the building as I ran after him.Her link was unreachable, my heart thundered at the knowledge that something serious had to have happened for her to be out of pack territory. Thoughts of a kidnapping ran through my mind before I almost slammed into my father's back as he came to an instant halt, dead center in the back hall.Peering around him I saw Chris, my supposedly Beta, even though he would never have been my choice. He was hunched over on the floor, clutching his chest tightly as he whimpered out in pain.Looking behind him I saw my sister's maid disheveled and curled back against the wall with nothing but utter fear in her eyes.That's when I knew she wasn't kidnapped or in trou

Fated to the Enemy 109
Dahlia's POV Continued Once I left my brother alone with Rose I walked through the hall leading to the stairs before stopping. Everything has changed so much for me in what feels like a blink of an eye. I looked up the next set of stairs to where my room sat before turning to look down the other set of stairs where the front doors sat leading outside and into the woods where Damien found me. Little pieces of memories flashed through my mind of that day. The way I felt lost and scared honestly. How I managed to escape my wedding just to venture too far out of my own territory and into that, if what I believed at the time to be enemy territory. I'll never forget the way his eyes darkened when he looked down at me. Or how I swore I should fear him yet instead was intrigued by the man looming so dangerously over me. It's crazy to me to think about the fact that he knew I was meant to be his yet I didn't. How it could have felt to stand in front of your second chance mate only for
Fated to the Enemy 108
Dahlia's POV Continued "Oh my sweet Rose, he had to. He didn't leave you. He needed to bring back the warriors from his pack. He's Alpha now and has no choice." I held her out from me so she would hopefully look at me, which she shakily did. "He was absolutely torn apart having to leave here. He didn't want to until you had time and chose to see or speak with him. He is broken right now." She sniffed then wiped her face with the sleeve of her shirt. Her eyes swirled making it so I could finally see a bit of her wolf sitting there. "Broken?" I sighed, my head tilting to the side as I nodded with a small tip of my lips. I actually felt a bit relieved by the way she was acting. She was scared about this entire situation, but I can see she wants him still. She's curious about him and now I can see that her wolf is as well. They haven't shut put the idea of him. I don't want her to live in fear, but my brother would never hurt her. The thought of him getting rejected b
Fated to the Enemy 107
Dahlia's POV "So you have decided to take Nico as what then Levi?" "As my new Delta. Honestly, I have no idea who to choose for my Beta. You are the only person I have ever trusted to that level before. Everything was planned out for such a long time that I have no idea where to truly go from here now." I wrapped my arms around my brother, hugging him tightly before we pulled away again. "Have you tried to.." "I spoke with her, Levi." The previous day I went in search of Rose. Of course I could have just mindlinked her that I wanted to see her, but I chose not to. I needed to walk around a bit after Damien kept me within the confines of our room for 48 hours. I was feeling a bit stir crazy and so was Alanah. She had been pacing continuously for hours on end feeling trapped. Instead we ventured out, walking around the pack house in search of my best friend. When I did find her, which wasn't exactly hard for me to do, she was out in the small garden she had shown
Fated to the Enemy 106
Levi's POV By the time I made it back home I was a complete wreck. My wolf wasn't speaking to me despite the fact that it wasn't my fault our mate ran away from us and locked herself in her room. Honestly he was upset that I had the audacity to leave pack grounds without trying to see her again. I understood. I felt the pang through my chest within every single heartbeat I managed to pump. My heart shattered when she looked at me with those big beautiful wide eyes. That recognition wasn't what I had wanted. However, knowing more about who she is thanks to Alexi, I understood why she ran off, even if I didn't want to accept it. The bitter feeling of rejection lingered throughout my body, but she needed time. She hadn't outright rejected me so I held on to a bit of hope. Being back in this house feels surreal though. My mother's body had been burned and now sat on the mantel inside the office that used to hold my father. It was a blatant disrespect for him to do su
Fated to the Enemy 105
Dahlia's POV Continued I am unsure when I fell back to sleep but waking alone on a tattered bed was a bit depressing. I felt for Damien but even his scent was a bit weak meaning he had been gone for a bit by now. As I forced my eyes to open I was blinded by the sunlight seeping through the window. Squinting away I rolled to my side only to wince slightly from where the stitches were still woven through my tattered skin. Forcing myself into a sitting position I brought my legs over the side of the bed before my feet touched the ground. Unlike my dream of the past, the floor held a warmth to it. Stretching out my toes I slowly stood myself up. Sore from whatever position I managed to sleep in I stretched out my back only to hear a loud popping sound that made me sigh out in relief. Trudging myself into the bathroom, not bothering to turn the light on just yet, I relieved my aching bladder before standing in front of the sink to look up into the mirror. My hair was atro
Fated to the Enemy 104
Dahlia's POV The moment his lips touched mine a fire ignited deep within my soul. Like everything made sense again in my life. The feel of his rough calloused fingers lightly trailing down my naked back sent a shiver run along my spine. His hands gripped my ass as he hauled me up into his arms, my legs wrapping around his large body. I felt small in his arms. Like he could shield me from the world if he chose to do so. I was safe, protected, wanted, loved. All the things I have truly ever wanted to have or feel my entire existence. He didn't kiss me hard, nor did he hold me tightly. I could feel the worry slipping through the connection we shared at the weakened state I was still in. He was gentle as he carried me across the room to the shredded bed. The bed I managed to destroy all because of stupid dreams of a past I will never have to go back to again. I was truly and unequivocally free for the first time ever. He was gone. The man that did everything in his power
Fated to the Enemy 103
Alpha Damien's POV Continued She sat there, her eyes filled with unshed tears as she stared at me. My body went to shift, I wanted to pull her into me and hug her tightly when her eyes fell from mine to the bed below her. The way her eyes widened as she took in the state of our bed when Levi spoke from behind me. "Could be worse considering how gigantic Alanah is. The bed can be replaced, okay Dahl's, get out of your head." I was about to yell at him for the way he spoke so casually, almost mean, to her until a small huff of a laugh left her pink full lips. Tilting my head I watched as the corner of her mouth tipped up before she looked back up. Her eyes went to mine before shifting back over my shoulder where Levi stood. "Guess it could have been the whole room, or one of you." Her voice was a whisper. When she attempted to clear her throat she winced so I stood, going to the side table to grab her some water. Holding it out to her, her eyes locked onto mine and I cou
Fated to the Enemy 102 What's happening to her?
Alpha Damien's POV I watched as her body contorted on the bed. The way she twisted then turned looked painful as she whimpered.Everything in me wanted to grab her, pull her body into mine and tell her she was okay, that whatever was happening was only a dream but I couldn't. Levi stood next to me, his arm outstretched in front me.“You can't go to her right now. If she was to wake and see she hurt you it would only break her.”His eyes watched her as I looked over at him. The pain in his gaze told me that this was hurting him as it was her.“Please Alpha Damien, trust me right now. This nightmare can't be undone. Her and Alanah need to finish this.”“FINISH IT?! Look at her Levi! She is writhing in pain!”“I know. This used to happen all the time between the beatings.”His tone was now a whisper so low that without Mikko I may not have heard him properly.This was a nightmare from her past, one that I cannot change for her. Maybe I can't take away what happened to her back then, b
Fated to the Enemy 101 Dream 2
Dahlia's POV Continued Levi leapt to his feet just as our father gripped him with his small arm, making him whimper as he shoved him from the room, slamming it in his face, but not before I saw the fear in Levi's eyes. When he turned I instinctually tried to pull myself further away from him, but with the wall already at my back I had nowhere to go. "You are eating these desserts!? What have you done to earn such a treat?" His tone was sharp and filled with anger that made me recoil as he slapped them off the bed making them crash and break against the wall and floor. My body shook as he grabbed my hair, ripping me from the bed. A sharp pain pierced through my head making me scream out in pain. Blood rushing through my ears muffled out his yells as the pain in my head also numbed the sharp slap that slammed across my face. My body began to ache in a way I didn't know was possible. I couldn't help but wonder what he was doing to me to cause this amount of pain. How was
