Mates And Enemies.

Gone...

"And she did the only thing that could save her, she left!" 

Third person's pov

It had been one day since Blaire had lost her consciousness in the river with Albert by her side.

Albert took her immediately to the hospital and informed her doctors about what she had told him before she passed out...

She was right...

She had lost her baby. Hers and Stefan's.

She was about three weeks pregnant and no one knew. She was planning to tell everyone at her wedding with Stefan some days later but...

Someone had other plans.

The doctors did everything they could to help her keep the baby but they weren't lucky. Blaire was sleeping for one whole day and only Albert knew about it. He ordered the doctors not to tell anyone as Blaire would want and they agreed.

They were lucky because no one else was there with them. They were all gathered around the pack house mourning and preparing the two funerals. Albert just informed Alex and Dean that Blaire had passed out from the shock and they rushed to see her and called Stefan to come.

Stefan got crazy when Alex explained him what had happened and took the first flight. When he landed Isaak and Dillon that were already informed took him to Blaire's pack and Stefan went immediately to see her unaware of what had really happened to her. He stayed with her without leaving her side, he was heartbroken and scared. He couldn't see her like that. She was so pale and weak that they were all believing that she wouldn't be able to wake up soon.

George and Fern were in the worst condition of all screaming and sobbing in the pack house. With them were Travis, Henna, Kara, Julia, Tia, Cai, Kyle and other pack members close to them and in high rank. Gradually, all the pack members went to see them and mourn for their old Luna and younger alpha.

Kyle was like a statue, frozen, lost, cold and distant. He had to stay strong for everyone because Blaire was in no condition to stand by him and he was the next in line. He had to help his Alpha, his family and pack. He left his family members break out their anger and pain, they had to calm down somehow. He was worried about his sister but he knew that she was in good hands and that she was the strongest of all. She would make it like any other time, he was sure.

Alex and Dean had informed him some hours ago that everything was ready for the funerals and asked him when they would begin. He told them that once Blaire would be in condition to walk and stand they would began and that moment wasn't that far...

Blaire woke up exactly one day after the moment she passed out and found Stefan, Dean and Albert on her side. They were all a mess and she was still confused and weak.

"Where am I? Where are the others?" she asked and sat up quickly.

Stefan stood up and hugged her carefully not to hurt her and kissed her forehead with a painful expression. Dean and Albert went next to them and caressed her hair and back with a small, sad smile.

"They are all at the pack house. Everything is ready..." Dean whispered.

She nodded with tears falling from her eyes and turned to look at Albert. He gave her hand a gentle squeeze and lowered his head and gaze awkwardly.

Blaire understood...

She sighed and took a deep breath opening her link with him.

"I lost it, right? My baby..." she asked him in agony.

"I am sorry sweetheart... They did everything they could but... I am so sorry."

She immediately buried her face in Stefan's neck who was still holding her in his arms without moving or talking and began sobbing.

He had won.

Ian had won.

He had killed her grandma, her brother, her unborn child, her whole family and pack and her because she was dead, the only thing she could feel was pain and desperation.

"Did you tell anyone?" she asked Albert next through the link.

"No. I knew you wouldn't want it. The doctors assured me they will tell no one. It's your decision." he replied quickly.

She closed the link and after some minutes of crying she pulled back and took a deep breath. She gained her thoughts and strength and turned to Dean who was in the worst condition she had ever seen him.

"Tell the others to get ready for the funerals. I want one black dress and I will be ready. Now." she said serious and got up with Stefan's help.

"Yes Blaire." Dean replied and left like a flash.

He knew her very well. He could see the pain in her eyes, he could feel it. He was like a brother to her, he adored her. Last day was the first time he saw her out of control and he was scared. No one dared to disrespect her or disobey. She was able to kill anyone from her anger and pain. They all had to listen to her if they wanted to get through everything or else the situation would become even worse.

He reached the pack house some minutes later and informed them that their Alpha had woken up. He also told them to get ready and asked from Henna to take clothes to Blaire for the funerals. They were all a bit relieved that their Alpha was finally awake and Blaire's family immediately felt better and more certain.

They all got out of the house with the two bodies in the front and right behind them the previous alphas and their family. Blaire came five minutes later.

She had taken a quick bath, she wasn't covered in blood anymore and she was wearing a long, simple black dress. Her face was pale and her long  brown hair was behind in a low ponytail. She was walking to them with a cold expression and next to her was Stefan in a black trousers and shirt. Behind them were Henna and Albert.

Once Blaire's family saw her, her parents rushed to her and pulled her in their arms crying slighter than before. They were calmer, they had already accepted it and they had gained their strength a bit.

"Baby are you okay?" Fern whispered and pulled back to look at her daughter in the eyes.

"I am standing on my feet, so..." she replied and her parents sighed relieved.

Kyle and Tia joined them next and hugged Blaire tightly. Tia was a mess and Kyle had a blank expression.

"Thank Goddess sister. I couldn't stand it alone anymore." he whispered and Blaire kissed his forehead with affection.

"I am here now." she replied and turned to see the whole pack in front of her.

They were all dressed in black with most of them crying and other staring at her with pride yet pain. She took a deep breath and walked to them with the others behind her.

"Thank you all for being here. I know you are in pain and I appreciate your behaviour and help. I am proud of you and grateful. Let's begin please." she said and they all bowed.

Blaire sighed while taking her place behind the dead bodies with her family around her.

This was going to be a living hell...

~one week later~

Blaire was sitting locked in her office alone. It was night and they were all in their bedrooms sleeping.

She was glad that they were all a bit better and the pack had found its old rhythm. She had ordered them all to continue like before and it seemed to work. Her parents were better like her uncles and brothers. Her friends were always by her side and Stefan was like a second skin to her.

Two days ago she had asked from him to go to Canada to stay with Eleanor and take care of her and the previous day he had taken the first flight to go back.

Albert only knew about her failed pregnancy and Blaire was ashamed to tell Stefan about it.

It was her fault, right?

She wanted so much a baby with him and she was so happy when she took the test and saw it was positive... She was sure that Stefan would be happier and proudest than ever. She needed it so much, they would be very happy but Ian had to destroy everything again.

Albert had informed her that he had gone to see Ian and his condition was worse than anyone's else. He explained to Albert that he had just asked from Zachary to keep them and not kill them. He just wanted to stop Blaire's wedding and his uncle accepted to help him but he had made his plan. Ian had no idea and the guilts were killing him. He wasn't eating, speaking, drinking, moving or sleeping. He was a living ghost.

His father, Matthew was trying to find Zachary but he was nowhere to be found. Evan, Bill, Wendy and Matthew were trying to help Ian but he was refusing to talk with anyone or get out of his room. Matthew was running the pack and Bill with Rafael, Alex's father were helping him as he was still weak and needed time to rest. Evan was almost all the time with Wendy and he had met with Alex and Henna some times to talk about everyone's condition.

Blaire didn't care about anything else except from her family, her pack and Eleanor. She wasn't sleeping, she was bearably eating and she wasn't talking a lot. The last two days she was locked in her office working and taking care of some pack businesses. She had also signed some contracts about some small companies they had in order to have everything ready for Kyle...

It was late at night when she finished everything and took a pen, some papers and envelopes.

She had decided what she wanted to do and she was determined. She started writing the first later for her pack:

'I, Blaire Gordon,

   Alpha of the Shining Full Moon Pack, am writing this letter to inform everyone that I am leaving from the pack for some time. 

   In my place will be my brother and second in line for the Alpha's position right now, Kyle Gordon. He will be in lead of the pack and each one of you and I demand your full love, respect and loyalty. Behave him like he is me and follow his every order without complaints.

   I am very proud of all of you, I love you and I am grateful for being your Alpha. I know you will miss me and I will miss you but I need time to find myself and strength in order to continue being your Alpha. I need to be better and stronger for you and your next in line Alpha, my daughter, Eleanor Gordon. 

   I want you to be strong, continue like I am here and stand next to my family and our pack. I love you all, take care of yourselves. I will see you again.

Your Alpha, 

   Blaire Gordon.'

She finished the first later and wiped some tears from her eyes. It was hurting very much. Her pack was her family and she knew how much they all loved her but she has to make it for them. She had to find herself again...

She took a deep breath and continued with the second letter for her family.

'Dear family,

   I know you will be devastated, mad and disappointed about my decision. I know it will be difficult for you and for me but I have to leave because I need it and I can't do otherwise. You are my life and I love you very much. 

   After everything that has happened I am not in condition to stay here or go back to Canada. I am not ready to face anyone and deal with anything. 

   All I want is to go away with my daughter and find back myself and my lost hope. 

   Kyle, brother, you are the Alpha until I come back and I am sure you will do an excellent job in my place. I am already proud of you and I know you are ready, I believe in you and I need you to do the same. 

   Mom and dad, I am asking  you to stand on your feet like before and continue being strong for us. Stand next to everyone and help Kyle if he needs you. 

   Tia, you are the smartest, kindest and sweetest girl I know. Continue like this and keep on fighting like always.

   Uncle, aunt and Kara I will miss you a lot and I know that you will be a big help for the others. Kara help Tia with everything and try to be more logical and less crazy (I love it but you need to calm down sometimes). 

   Albert, you are my savior and my rock. I want you to continue standing next to Kyle because he needs you more than me now. 

   Dean, continue like this, I am proud of you and your energy and strength is what the pack and family needs. 

   Cai, you are the wiser young man I know and you will help everyone with your logical way of thinking, the pack needs your guidance and advice.

   Henna baby, the trackers are on you and you won't disappoint me. You are the best at this and you are strong enough to cheer up everyone in my place. 

   Last but not least is you Alex. You are the youngest member of the family and I am proud of calling you my brother. I and Eleanor will miss you very much and I am sure that you will help the pack like a true Beta with Dean. You can deal with everything and Kyle needs you and your experience. 

   I left you for the end because you have a special place in my heart and I want to show you my appreciation and love. You never believed that my parents were killers, you were always defending me and protecting my family and pack. You became mine and Eleanor's biggest support and I will be never able to make it up to you. I love you brother and I know that they will be all safe and sound with you. 

   I don't know when I am going to come back but I know I will and then nothing and no one will ever manage to bring me down again. 

   I need time with my baby and I don't want you to try to find me. Please respect my wish and follow my orders. Be strong and happy for me, you, the family and the pack. 

   Also, please take care of Stefan and stand next to him for as long as I will be away. 

I love you all and I wish you the best until I come back.

Your Blaire.'

Once she finished with that letter she put it in an envelope and got ready for the last and worst part, Stefan's letter.

'My love, my man, my strength,

   I am writing this letter to tell you that I have to take El and leave. I am sorry and I know it is going to be difficult for you but staying here will be unbearable for me.

   I am not leaving you forever, I can't leave away from you but I have to. You were always my best friend, my strength and the man I needed but this time I have to make it on my own if I want to be proud of me. 

   I know that you want me to stay and you will be in pain but I need you to be strong and wait for me and our daughter. 

   I don't want you to leave yourself and your pack. I need my strong and confident Stefan. 

   I love you very much and I will be back for you, for us. Believe in me and prey to find my old self soon in order to come back to you. 

   I will be thinking of you all the time and I will be looking forward to see you.

Forever in love with you and sincerely yours, 

   Your Blaire.'

She began crying the moment she was done and put the letter in the envelope.

She didn't want to leave him but she knew it was the right thing to do. She had to heal herself on her own. She had to live a normal life for a while with Eleanor and she knew the place and the right person that would help her.

Max's mother...

Max had told everyone that his parents were dead back at the college. Only Blaire knew that his mother was alive in Switzerland and she promised not to tell anyone about it. Max's father was one strong white wolf that got killed from vampires and his mother tried to help him but she almost died...

She lost her wolf but she survived and decided to leave away from her pack. She was in pain and she needed peace.

Max respected her wish and told everyone that she was dead.

He had asked from Blaire to take care of his mother if anything happen to him, he had given her his mother's name, her location and a description of how she looked like. He had also informed his mother about Blaire and the two women had talked some times on the phone.

Blaire sighed relieved and got up from her sit and walked to the window. It was cold outside and it was snowing slightly.

"You are doing the right thing. Your plan is perfect." Beth whispered calmly.

"I know. I asked from Stefan to send Eleanor at the airport with Elona in order to go out for some air. It won't be difficult to ask from Elona something and leave to the closest bus station." Blaire said coldly.

"And from then we will go to another city and take the first flight to Switzerland." Beth continued and Blaire nodded.

"Everything is ready, our clothes, money, my new phone, we found Ann's location and the letters are on my office. They all know that I am going back to Canada so..." Blaire explained and paused for Beth to make the conclusion.

"... we are ready for Switzerland..."

~one and half day later, somewhere in Switzerland~

Blaire's pov

I am standing in front of Ann's house some kilometers away from a small city in Switzerland. Her house is close to the forest inside the mountains and it is beautiful and peaceful.

I am a bit nervous but she is my last hope and I am happy to finally be able to meet her even under these circumstances.

Eleanor is resting in my arms tired from the big flight and the long drive until here and I am a bit tired as well.

Everything went perfect, like I had planned. It was easy to get away from Elona and leave from Canada. I sent Kyle a message before I leave from the bus station to inform him to go in my office and find three envelopes and then I threw my phone on a trash because it was not safe to keep my old phone, they could have tracked me down.

"Mommy, I am tired..." El whispers and looks at me sleepily.

"I know baby. You will get some rest soon, yes?" I ask smiling.

She nods with a weak smile and buries her face in my neck. I kiss her little hand and I raise my one hand and knock Ann's front door. I

wait patiently for some seconds before I hear steps behind the door.

This is it!

"Who is it?" a woman asks worried.

"I... I am Blaire. Max's best friend." I say nervously.

The door opens immediately and a quite tall woman near her 45's gets out shocked.

She looks like Max.

She has short, light blonde hair that reaches her shoulders, big brown eyes, full pink lips and a normal weight.

I sigh nervously and my heart starts beating faster. Eleanor moves a bit in my arms and turns to look at Ann. She then turns to me and smiles.

"Is this uncle Max's mommy?" she asks me and I nod.

"Blaire Gordon?" Ann exclaims surprised.

"Yes Ann. It's me." I reply awkwardly and she takes one step to me.

She raises her hands and caresses my arm and Eleanor's back gently. I give her a smile and she signs for me to follow her inside.

I leave El down and take her hand in my right one. With the other hand I take our luggage and we follow Ann inside. She closes the door and leads us in the living room on the first right door. I leave the luggage and she pulls me and El to sit next to her on a big couch.

"I am so happy you are here. You are the only person that Max was trusting so much. He loved you like you more than anyone. After his death... I thought you forgot me." she says and wipes some tears from her eyes.

"Ann, I never forgot you. I had to keep your existence as a secret as Max had asked me. He was my brother and I couldn't betray him." I say and tap her knee.

She sighs and smiles and then leans and kisses my forehead and then turns to El.

"Who is this beautiful young lady here?" she asks with a bright smile.

"My daughter, Eleanor. She is two years old." I explain.

"Oh, I didn't know..." she says and I sign for her to stop pointing El.

"What is wrong Blaire?" she asks worried.

"Um... I will tell you. Can we stay here for a while please. At least for tonight. Eleanor needs some sleep."

She raises her eyebrows surprised and I stiffen a bit awkward. She won't accept us as I see.

She...

"Are you hungry?" she asks smiling.

"No... We ate some time ago." I reply and she nods and gets up.

"Okay. Let me show you the guest room to put Eleanor to sleep and then we can have a cup of coffee at the backyard and tell me everything. You are staying here for as long as you want. My house is yours." she says and caresses my cheek softly.

I can't hide my excitement after these words from her.

It is the only thing I needed so much!

"Thank you Ann. You are saving me."

~some hours later, night~

"... That's why I left and thought to ask for your help." I end my whole story and she wipes her tears from her eyes.

I told her everything from the moment I left from the college and got separated from Max.

She hasn't stopped crying and she is holding me in her arms all these hours. She feels very sorry for everything and I am feeling guilty for causing her so much pain.

"You are staying here with me. I won't let you leave. You are like a daughter for me. You will continue your life here until you are ready to go back and then I will come with you." she states and kisses the top of my head.

"Really Ann?" I ask breathless.

"Of course honey. You want to get a job and live a normal life. El will need someone with her and it will be a pleasure for me to help you raise and take care of her. She is my granddaughter already. What do you say?"

I smile and nod immediately. I laugh and bury my face in her neck and wrap my hands around her. I am so, so excited, relieved and happy.

This is amazing!

"Um... Ann are there any packs here? You know, I will need their acceptance in order to stay here." I ask with concern.

She smiles and nods in understanding.

"My house is in a free land. There is a pack very close and her territory is near but it consists of seven members. I know them. They are young and very good kids. They knew Max. They were all either abused, abandoned or orphans and Derek, their Alpha suggested them to make a pack and so they did. I can call them and ask them to come and meet you. You won't have any problems with them."

I raise my eyebrows impressed and nod. It sounds good and I will need some friends and company. Beth will surely need other wolves as she is very a socialized and friendly wolf and we can go for runs together. They know the mountains and the forest here and they will help me more.

"Thank you very much Ann. You are my savior." I say and she chuckles.

"You don't have to thank me sweetheart. It is the least I can do for you. I am sure that they will be all worried about you..."

I sigh and give her a sad look. She smiles in sympathy and caresses my cheek.

"I know but it is for the best. If they love me they have to understand... One more day there and I would have gotten crazy."

"I know honey. Everything is going to be alright. I am here for you now. We will make it together."

"I know, I just hope they are all alright..."

~Blaire's pack~

Kyle's pov

"I can't believe she left us..." he murmurs again.

I turn and look at my father angry.

Almost two days now he keeps on repeating that Blaire left us for good and he is more devastated than anyone else.

We are all sitting in the living room and Stefan came here immediately after I called him and informed him what had happened. I found the letters Blaire had left and I quickly realized what she had in mind as she was acting a bit weirdly before she leaves...

"Father, I had enough. In her letters she says clearly that she will come back. She needs time. Stop it, you are not helping anyone like this." I yell for the first time all these years.

"My daughter left with my granddaughter. I lost a son and my mother. I need her here, I am worried Kyle. I can't bear her absence." he screams and stands up shaking from anger.

"You have all of us here and you are selfish. She has no one and she still decided to leave. Trust her, she is stronger than all of us together. Do you know her that little?" I reply back shouting.

"Enough both of you. I had enough! We end this discussion here and now. We will do what Blaire told us and I don't want a single word from anyone. Am I clear?" my mother says in her luna tone.

We all now and sit down in silence.

She took it better than I had expected and I am impressed.

My uncles were expecting it and it wasn't a surprise for them.

Tia and Kara are a bit sad but they took Blaire's words way too seriously and they promised to follow all of her orders.

Albert is more silent than the usual but he came and told me that he won't leave my side and he has already helped me a lot with my family's mess from yesterday morning.

Dean and Cai are upset but assured me that everyone and everything in the pack will stay normal and Henna has already informed the trackers about what she wants from them now that Blaire is not here.

Last night I called them in my sister's office to talk about everything, the pack already knows, I read them her letter and they promised loyalty to me.

Alex was overwhelmed from Blaire's words for him and I am happy because he deserves this honor from Blaire.

And Stefan...

Well, let's just say that it was a shock for him but I see him calm and he understands my sister's condition. Last night he told me that he will do what she has asked from him and I am relieved, he deserves her and I want them happy in the end.

My father is the one that took it worse than anyone and I am angry yet sad. I know that Blaire is his 'little' girl, his princess, his favorite one but he is not helping like this. He is clearly overreacting and I am sure that Blaire would be mad at him if she knew...

I get up and walk towards the door to leave.

I can’t stay in here anymore.

"I will be in the office if you need me." I say before I leave and they all nod.

I get out of the living room and walk up to the top floor and then get in Blaire's office which is mine temporarily. I close the door and sit on the big, black, leather chair behind the large wooden office. I open the small desk lamp and take the photo on my right.

I smile melancholically and I feel my heart hurting.

It's a photo of Tia, Nate, Blaire, Eleanor and me.

We are in Canada at El's first birthday party and we are all smiling and laughing. Nate's fingers are a mess and full of chocolate like his cheeks, Tia is tickling me and I laugh with Blaire licking her full of white chocolate finger and El is trying to reach a plate with cake in front of her.

We were so happy back then, we were one like always.

Now, Nate is not here and Blaire with El are somewhere far away.

I am alone!

They left me even for a while but I need them so much...

Tia needs time and she is too young to understand...

I had Blaire with me all the time, she was my support, my mentor, my strength and now I feel weak and alone without her.

I promised I will make her happy but it hurts and I am afraid and worried.

What if I am not ready and I screw it up?

I will disappoint my pack, family and most importantly my sister.

"Kyle?" Alex says opening the door a bit.

"Come in." I tell him shortly.

He gets inside in hurry and closes the door behind him. He sits opposite of me and his gaze falls on the photo in my hands. He smiles with sympathy and raises his gaze to me.

"It hurts a lot..." I murmur and leave the photo in front of him.

"I can't understand you completely, I am not the Alpha, I don't have your duties but I know the pain. Blaire behaved me better than anyone else. She accepted me here and most importantly in her heart. I will never be able to make it to her."

"You deserve it. I want you to know that I have the same opinion with her. I consider you as my brother and I count on you. You make me feel safer." I say and he nods smiling emotionally.

"I won't leave you alone Kyle. We are all here for you and you are going to replace her perfectly. She will be proud of you when she comes back."

"She will be proud of all of us... "
