All Chapters of I WAS FATED TO MY ENEMY: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Hearing that creature roar back at me changed everything in a split second. The sound was deep and raw, like it came from something that had lived in darkness for years. It shook the lockers along the walls and made my bones vibrate. My wolf instincts screamed danger, but fear won out. I lost all the agility I thought I had. My legs felt weak. I spun around fast, ready to bolt for the exit, but the creature gained on me. Claws dug into my shoulders from behind. They were sharp and cold. It lifted me up like I was nothing more than a rag. My feet dangled in the air. For one terrifying moment, I hung there, heart pounding so hard I thought it might burst. Then it slammed me down to the ground. My back hit the hard floor with a heavy thud. Pain shot through my spine and ribs. The air rushed out of my lungs. I gasped, trying to catch my breath, but before I could roll away or fight back, its jaws clamped down on my side. Teeth sank into my ribs. Hot, burning agony exploded there. I felt

Eli drove into the city alone with the sun high overhead. Traffic moved slowly around him. He kept his eyes on the road, ready to start his search for Jax. No one else knew he was here. This was his task. He pulled up to a quiet street and parked in front of a small house. His nephew Tommy lived there. Eli hadn’t called ahead. He grabbed his bag from the passenger seat and walked to the front door. He knocked hard. No answer came. Then he tried the knob. It turned easy. He stepped inside the living room. The place smelled like yesterday’s pizza and laundry. “Tommy?” he called out a few times. His voice echoed off the walls. Still nothing. Eli set his bag down and went upstairs. The steps creaked under his boots. He opened the first door on the right. There was Tommy in bed with a girl. They were going at it hard, bodies moving fast, sheets tangled. The girl had her head back. Tommy gripped her hips. Eli stood there for a second before they noticed him. The girl saw first and screa

After Ryan told me to run, I quickly grabbed Lila by the hand and began running through the house. My heart pounded like a drum in my chest. The back window was our only quick way out. I punched through the glass with my fist, I barely even felt any pain. Glass shattered everywhere, falling like rain on the floor. I helped Lila over the broken frame first, holding her steady so she wouldn’t get cut. “Careful,” I said. Then I crossed over myself, landing on the cool grass outside. I felt free on the inside like a heavy weight has been lifted off me. Then we started running as fast as we could.The creature burst into the house through the front door right then. Wood splintered and flew across the living room. The beast was massive, fur dark and eyes glowing red with anger. Ryan turned fast, no time to think. He had to charge through it to protect Jax and his sister who were already on the run. Ryan shifted into a wolf quickly, bones cracking loud. He leaped at the creature with everyth

The night held its breath. This was it. The clash that could change everything. Our bodies were about to collide. The fight for survival was starting right now.I didn’t know where the courage came from. Maybe it was fear. Maybe it was anger. Whatever it was, I didn’t back down. Deucalion’s claws crashed against mine in midair. The force exploded through my arms. Pain shot across my shoulders before I even realized what had happened. Then I was flying. My back slammed against the road with enough force to crack the concrete beneath me. A sharp gasp escaped my mouth. Before I could get up, Deucalion was already above me. His massive fist came down. I rolled away just in time. The ground exploded where my head had been. Chunks of concrete scattered across the street like shrapnel. I jumped to my feet, breathing hard. My heart hammered against my ribs. My claws stretched farther. My muscles burned. Everything inside me screamed that I wasn’t ready for this fight. But running wasn’t a

Ryan remained frozen on the floor. The doctor’s words refused to leave his mind.“You must kill him.”His eyes stayed locked on Jax’s unconscious body on the table. The slow rise and fall of his brother’s chest was the only sign he was still barely alive. Ryan lowered his head. His hands trembled.He had finally found his little brother after believing he was dead for years. Now someone was asking him to take that life away with his own hands.He couldn’t do it. He just simply couldn’t. Mike stood quietly beside him. He didn’t interrupt. He knew this wasn’t a decision anyone else could make.The room stayed silent.Ryan took a deep breath. Then another. He slowly stood to his feet.The doctor watched him carefully. “Have you made your choice?” the man asked.Ryan nodded. “I have.”The doctor waited. Ryan looked at Jax before speaking. “Save him.”The doctor frowned. “Ryan…”“I said save him.”The old man sighed. “You don’t understand what you’re asking.”Ryan’s eyes remained fixed on
