Fated to my Enemy

Channing

“What the fuck?” I yelled as I hit the steering wheel. I had just hung up the phone with my mother. I was pissed that no one decided to call me when my mother’s life was in danger. I may be at school but that doesn’t mean they should keep me in the dark.

I picked up my phone from the passenger seat and called my brother. It rang for what felt like forever until he finally answered.

“Brother?”

“Where the hell are you and what the fuck happened with mom?” I demanded.

“Channing, calm down. Mom and our brother are fine.”

“Now, they are fine but where the hell did they go? Huh? Didn’t feed me B.S.” I snapped.

“Where are you?” he sighed.

“On my way home now, but I spoke to Mom and Dad. They told me nothing. So, I called you. I know you are searching for Tessa but Dad still would have called you.”

“Channing, a lot has happened in the last few days. Dad didn’t want to call you since you had exams. Dad took down the council.”

“Fuck,” I exclaimed.

“We found a young Luna wolf there. I lost it,” he choked. “All I saw was Evie. She was so scared. She ran up to me, begging for help.”

“And where is the girl now?”

“She’s with Becky. Are you almost home? I’ve been worried about Evie.”

“I’m just leaving campus now and will be home in a few hours. Are you coming home or are you still looking for Tessa?” I asked him.

“I found her.“.

“What? When?”

“We are staying in her pack right now. She’ll be coming back with me tomorrow. I know Mom is anxious about getting back home to our

sister.”

“I’m glad you found her.” I didn’t know what else to say. He has been searching for her for months. He’s in love, but she may not even be his fated mate.

“Look, I know you aren’t happy you weren’t informed about Mom, but she wouldn’t have wanted you pulled away from your exams. She knows how important this is for you. And now that school is done for the next four months, you will be able to spend lots of time with her. I don’t think Dad is ever letting her go back to work.” He chuckled at that last part.

“Yeah,” I exhaled.

“We will explain everything when we are home. And congrats. Drive

safe,”

“Congrats?”

“On passing. I knew you could do it. Love yeah,” he hung up before I could get another word in.

I blew out a breath as I sat behind the wheel of my car in the apartment complex parking lot.

“At least they are safe,” my wolf Shadow grumbled.

“Do you think I’m making the right choice? I’ve always wanted to be a doctor but I don’t like not being there to protect Mom.”

“I want to keep our mother safe, just like you do, but Dad can handle it. If this is what you want, then you have to be able to live with the fact that you won’t be involved in the pack business.”

“She’s our mother, not pack business,” I snapped. I pulled out of the parking stall and started the drive home. I turned up my music to drown out my raging thoughts. If anything were to happen to her, and I wasn’t there to help, I would never forgive myself.

When I pulled my car in front of the house, Granddad was waiting for me. I was relieved when a young girl came out of the house, carrying my sister. I couldn’t tell how old she was, ten maybe. She must be

the Luna wolf they saved from the council.

“Channing,” Granddad greeted me when I climbed out of my car.

“Bou, bou,” Evie squealed, when she saw me. I’ve missed this baby girl so much. She was almost a year and a half now and every time I see her

she has changed so much.

“Victoria, sweetie, it’s okay.” Granddad motioned for the girl to come to him. She looked nervous as she watched me. She walked down the front steps before placing Evie down on her own feet. She rushed over to me and I picked her up.

“This is Evie and Aspen’s brother, Channing. No one here will hurt you, sweet girl,” Granddad reassured her.

She stood beside Walter staring up at me with her big brown eyes. Her shoulder–length hair was the color of honey.

“You must be the girl my brother has told me all about,” I smiled at her.

“He killed the man that was hurting me,” she whispered and I wanted to dig that fucker up and kill him again. There’s a special place in hell for people who hurt children.

“Let’s get you inside, I’m sure you are hungry,” Granddad clasped my shoulder. Evie had wrapped her arms around my neck and was squeezing me tightly.

“Tomorrow, sweetie,” I kissed her cheek.

“How much have you heard?” He asked me as we sat down in the living

room.

“I should be asking how much you know. I called Dad and Aspen before I left the city.”

“So you know she is safe?”

“And that she gave birth to our brother, yeah. I also know Aspen found Tessa. But what I don’t now is who took her and why?” I grumbled.

“Walter, may I go up to my room?” Victoria quietly asked him.

“You go on up, I’ll call you when dinner is ready,” he told her. She hurried up the stairs and out of sight. Evie wasn’t leaving me. She was cuddled into my chest as she rubbed my cheek with her little hand.

“I don’t now all the details. I’ve been here with Evie and then Victoria arrived after they raided the council.”

“How old is she and how long was she being held?”

“She’s twelve. She was sold to an alpha a few months ago but escaped. She ran from the other side thinking she would be safe here, until she was found and taken to the council. They tested her and found she was indeed a Luna wolf. We may not have found your mother there, but I’m glad Blake took down the council. That sweet girl has been through enough.”
