Mates And Enemies.

Things Get Better...

"Be strong now, because things will get better. It might be stormy now, but it can't rain forever!"

Third person's pov

It was almost midnight when Ian arrived at Stefan's pack with Kyle and Alex by his side. 

During their flight and drive he was crying and murmuring breaking Alex's heart even more. He couldn't see and feel him like that, he knew in how much pain Ian was and he couldn't bear it or help him at all. The only thing that could help Ian was Eleanor and Blaire's recovery, at least firstly because later Ian would be heartbroken with a possible rejection from Blaire.

Kyle from the other side was certain for the first time that Ian deserved a second chance. His reaction and need to help immediately caused a weird feeling to him. He was feeling sympathy, he could understand him, Ian was in the worst pain of all of them together and he had taken a decision in order to ease his pain.

Ian was lost all those hours, he was in the worst pain he could have been and only his mate and their daughter were in his mind. 

He still couldn't believe it, he had a daughter...

Blaire and he had a daughter and he knew nothing, he had understood nothing, he had never imagined about this possibility.

Eleanor... 

His daughter, his little girl, his little angel, his hope, his purpose in life. 

She and Blaire were his life from now on and he was able to do anything in order to keep them safe and make them happy, he promised himself and he would make it. Terror was howling in pain all those hours, he was asking them in agony and his fear was growing up more and more for Beth. He had a bad feeling and it was becoming worse as they were getting closer to the pack hospital.

"We are here. Come Ian." Kyle told him in hurry worried.

"Ian, try to be patient and strong. We have to warn you, it won't be easy. Ignore George and concentrate on Eleanor and Blaire." Alex said nervously and Kyle sighed in agreement.

"I know... It will be the first time that I won't cause any trouble on my own, I promise." Ian murmured shaking nervously.

"We are here for you Ian, keep that in mind, I am by your side on this." Kyle told him and tapped his shoulder encouragingly.

Ian nodded and they walked inside the hospital where Albert and Dillon with Isaak were standing talking in a low tone some meters away from the corridor where the others were waiting outside Blaire and El's rooms.

"Ian! You came!" Albert exclaimed before the others see him and walked quickly to him.

He pulled him in his arms and began crying while Isaak and Dillon joined them and hugged them both relieved yet emotional.

"Thanks Goddess man! We are glad you are here." Isaak murmured.

"How are they?" Ian asked immediately panicked.

"The same, we will explain you more in a while, now come. El needs your blood." Dillon replied and they all walked quickly at the corridor where the others were sitting.

Once Fern saw Ian she got up and run to him crying.

"You came, you are here. Thank you Ian, I knew it! My child thank you!" she said through her cries and hugged him.

"It's okay Fern. I will help in any way I can. I promise you." He whispered and kissed her forehead as tears began falling down from his eyes.

"Ian..." Stefan said with a blank expression and walked to them with Dean by his side.

"Stefan..." he murmured and Fern took some steps back giving them space.

"Thank you." Stefan said raising his hand for a handshake.

"I have to thank you for taking care of them, I know everything now. I will never be able to make it up to you..." Ian replied and took his hand in his.

"Yes, now we are all perfect, huh? Let me inform you that Stefan is to blame for what happened today. He was with Blaire and El and he ignored Blaire when she told him about the other rogues, he preferred to chase two and leave her alone to deal with five. She was trying to communicate with him but he blocked her. So now you can realize that saying thank you to each other is ridiculous." George shouted and hit his fist on the wall from anger.

Ian blinked his eyes and turn to look at Stefan who took one step back and his gaze fell on the floor from guilt and shame.

"George said the truth, it is his fault..." Terror murmured with pain.

Ian nodded but didn't move an inch nor said anything. 

He had done worse and he was sure for the first time in his life that Stefan didn't mean it to happen and there was another reason behind his weird behavior. He just turned and looked at Kyle who was standing next to him and signed nervously.

"Stefan, the doctors please?" Kyle asked in hurry with a hard expression.

"I just mind linked them, they will be here in two minutes." He replied and they all nodded.

"Um, how was your flight?" Henna asked trying to enlighten a bit the climate as it was too tensed.

"Good baby..." Alex replied shortly and walked to her.

He took her in his arms and kissed her forehead as she wrapped her shaking hands around his neck. She was exhausted mentally and physically from all this stress and she couldn't control her body at all. She was in pain and all those hours that Alex was missing she had a good opportunity to cry without making him even feel sadder.

"Ian, this is Ann. Blaire was staying with her. Ann is Max's mom and we found out that she is Albert's mate." Kyle stated suddenly pointing Ann to break the awkward silence.

Ian's eyes landed on the woman some meters away from him and he nodded in understanding. He took some steps and stopped in front of her. She gave him a warm smile with tears on her eyes and raised her hand to his cheek.

"Thank you for taking care of them." Ian whispered and placed his hand on hers.

"Ian... Blaire was worried about you all these years, I want you to know it." She said in the lower tone she could in order only Ian listen to her.

"Alpha! Where is the father?" El's doctor said suddenly getting out El's room and interrupting them.

"It's here." Kyle replied first of all and walked to Ian's side.

"Okay, Alpha Ian we need you. Did they explain you?"

"Yes, they did. So, can we begin?" Ian asked in hurry and walked to the doctor.

"Yes Alpha. Come, we will make the blood's transportation immediately from you to Eleanor." The doctor said and signed for Ian to follow him.

Ian paused for some seconds, his feet weren't able to make a step, he was shaking from nervousness. It was the first time that he would see his daughter and the whole situation was making it worse. 

He would see his little girl weak on a bed with wounds and unconscious, it was breaking his heart.

"Ian? Are you alright?" Dillon asked worried and they all turned their gaze to him.

"Don't know... I mean, I am actually going to see her for the first time and..."

"Alpha, you can take one person with you if this is going to help you. Don't stress and overwhelm yourself." The doctor said in sympathy.

"Um... Kyle, Alex, Albert?" Ian murmured and turned to look at them lost.

"Go Kyle. Blaire would want you to go." Alex said smiling encouragingly.

"She would want you two too." Kyle whispered nervously as he felt George's eyes on him.

"Kyle, please..." Stefan said in a low breaking tone.

"Okay... Let's go." He murmured and tapped Ian's back joining his side.

The doctor smiled and walked inside the room with them following his quick steps. Once they got inside the room the doctor closed the door and pointed them the big room from which they were separated with a big, glassed wall.

Ian's eyes widen as his eyes landed on the small figure that was lying on the bed.

"Eleanor..." he whispered and tears began building up again.

She was just like Blaire! A sweet angelic face, full lips, long, light brown chocolate hair and a quite long neck with a normal body and quite tall for her age as he could see. 

His little baby, his angel, his...

"Her eyes are like yours..." Kyle told him smiling emotional staring at Eleanor.

"Really?"

"Yes, Blaire loves her eyes. Yours... She is..."

"Beautiful." Ian murmured breathless and Kyle nodded.

"Alpha, can we move on to the whole process?" the doctor asked softly.

Ian woke up and turned to look at the doctor who was standing at the door that was leading to El's room.

"Yes, of course."

"Good, follow me."

Ian gave one last look at Kyle who nodded smiling relieved and then walked inside the room with shaking legs behind the doctor. He closed the door behind him and El's scent hit his nose mixed with drugs and blood. He sighed and tried not to cry and the doctor pointed for him another bed next to El's.

"Lay down there Alpha. We will be quick, it won't take time."

Ian just nodded and walked to the bed. He laid down slowly with his eyes locked on Eleanor and once he was done the doctor went to his side with the necessary equipment.

"Can I hold her hand, please..." Ian whispered heartbroken in desperation.

"Soon Alpha. When we are done you have all the time you want. I won't tell you to leave her side. She needs you now."

Ian nodded and sighed. The blood's transportation started soon and he left his eyes lock on El. He was crying softly trying not to cause any problem to the whole process and he was staring at her little sweet face.

"Like her mother..." Terror whispered emotional.

"Exactly like her. She is so sweet and pretty." Ian replied and wiped the tears that were blurring his vision with his free hand.

"Blaire did the right thing." Terror stated after some seconds.

"I know. They were all right, I do regret everything. Now even more. We are both alive because of El, you know that right? Blaire allowed us to live for Eleanor."

"Yes, but... Ian, she loves us. Believe it or not Blaire loves us even after everything. I feel it. Don't think about all these now. Our pup and mate needs us."

"Man?" Ian whispered.

"Yeah?"

"Once they get better and we get sure they are out of danger I will try harder to find him. I will kill him. I will keep them safe, I have a feeling that he is responsible for this." Ian said worried.

"I do too but forget it now. Ian, I want to be close to them from now on and I know you want it too. I know you have changed but please try to act wisely and maturely."

"I will, I promise. We will try to be close to them. If Blaire doesn't want us as mates at least we will try to be there for her and El. I need my pup and Blaire even as a friend."

Terror purred in approval and then the doctor spoke up again.

"We are done Alpha. Well done."

"So soon?" Ian asked surprised.

"Yes. She is a child and not any child. She is a pure Alpha and also look at her and see for yourself if this amount of blood helps her."

Ian turned and looked at El and his eyes widely open as he saw her wounds healing rapidly. He blinked his eyes and turned to the doctor speechless.

"Really? This is magical. I mean... That... She..." he paused and turned again at El.

"She is almost healed Alpha. The small wounds are already gone and in some minutes the biggest will too. You are her father, you have a strong bond like Blaire has with her. Only you two can help her that much." The doctor explained smiling.

Ian looked Kyle who was standing behind the glassed wall crying relieved and smiled at him grateful.

"What about Blaire? Can my blood help her like Eleanor?" he asked the doctor.

"Alpha, Blaire's condition is complicated. We are trying to give her some blood in some small doses but with no success. We have to wait a while, her organism needs time. Right now your blood won't help her but later yes. We will wait a while and we will try soon."

Ian nodded in understanding and sat up on the bed slowly with his eyes on El. She was really getting better and he was feeling too relieved.

"Alpha, I want to thank and congratulate you, really. What you are doing means everything to all of us. You know, I was one of the doctors that helped Blaire give birth to El and I feel them like my kids. I am glad we have you here."

"I am glad I know everything and I can help. Thank you for everything, you kept my mate and daughter alive, if I can call them mine after all of these anyway." Ian replied and sighed.

"Do you want my opinion?" the doctor asked timidly.

"Yes?"

"I have a good feeling about the three of you. I don't know why but now that I see you next to El I feel something. It is special."

"Um, thank you. Now, can I stay alone with her for a while please?"

The doctor nodded smiling and after he took care of the equipment he used he got out of the room and began talking with Kyle. Ian stood up and got closer to Eleanor's bed. She wasn't that pale and her cheeks were light pink like Blaire's. He sat on the bed next to her and took her small warm hand in his hands. 

He leaned and kissed while crying softly.

"Daddy is here El. I am sorry it took me so long to learn about your existence sweetheart. I am sorry for everything I did to mommy and you, to the whole family. I had no idea, I was a fool baby, your dad is a fool. In fact, he is the foulest man there is but he loves you and your mom more than anything and anyone else. Even if I learnt about you some hours ago, I love you and I promise that I will do anything for you baby girl. I can die for you and mom, I would gladly do it. Your happiness is the only thing I want, just wake up and come to us honey. Daddy needs you so much now that mommy is in this condition but she needs us even more. We have to help mommy my little girl, we can do it together, you are everything for her and you are the reason she wants to live, I know it. Please, listen to your daddy baby. I will make everything right this time, just come back." He whispered and kissed her hand again for some seconds.

He stayed like this, staring at her for minutes that felt like years, he was lost on her, he was thinking only her and Blaire, nothing else. Terror was purring quite relieved and soon the biggest wounds were completely healed.

"Ian, come. The doctors want to check on her and we I can take you to see Blaire in the meantime. Only you can go in her room except from the doctors." Kyle whispered from the door.

Ian nodded and stood up. He leaned and kissed Eleanor's forehead and took her scent with a deep, long breath.

"I will be back soon baby. Rest now and I will go to see mom." He whispered and got out of the room to Kyle.

They greeted the doctor and one more doctor who got in the room and they got out at the corridor where they were all waiting in agony. Fern and Stefan stood up immediately and the others circled them waiting impatiently for them to speak. George was standing some meters away obviously annoyed and he didn't even move an inch with his eyes locked on Ian and Kyle.

"How is she?" Stefan asked worried.

"Completely healed. Ian's blood healed her in minutes. The doctor is impressed even if he knew about it. So, they are checking on her to get sure about everything and in the meantime Ian has to go and stay with Blaire for a while. Their bond might help her, that's what the doctor told me inside. Ian..." Kyle said and pointed a door some meters away.

"Go Ian. She needs you now." Dean murmured sighing.

Ian looked at Stefan who nodded and gave him an approving smile. He turned then and looked at everyone and in the end his gaze stopped on George who was staring at Kyle with an angry look. Kyle was avoiding George and Ian could sense that something was wrong between them. He tapped Kyle's back and turned to walk to Blaire's room. 

Once he reached out he knocked the door and some seconds later Blaire's doctor opened the door and took him inside. The door closed again and they all sat down in silence.

Kyle sat beside Fern who took him in her arms and kissed his forehead gently.

"I am proud of you babe. You are a great young man. Your sister will be so proud of you, you are the strongest of all of us." She told through their personal link.

"The least I can do for her now." He replied and buried his face in her neck trying not to cry.

"You are strong from the moment she left baby, not only now. Try to calm down now and take some rest, you pressured yourself too much."

"I am fine mom. I am okay, really, I just want them to wake up."

Fern sighed and turned to look at George who was staring at them with a blank expression. Her face tensed immediately and her eyes darkened. Her wolf began growling frustrated and she did her best to keep her under control. She was so disappointed with her mate and his behavior, she wanted to kill him but she tried to be patient.

"The next time he behaves the way he did to my pup he is dead, did you hear me? We were too patient with him the last two years, I had enough." She groaned with anger.

"I know, I don't know what has gotten into him. His love for Blaire is changing him, he forgets that we have two more kids and they need him as well. Kyle is standing on his feet the last two years with difficulty, he is trying to make him proud, he is suffering and now that he wanted to help... He almost killed him. He is in so much pain... It is killing me to feel him like this." Fern said ready to cry.

"Fern, I am worried for Kyle, something feels wrong with him. I don't care about George, even his wolf is angry at him, let the stupid man and focus on our pups now. We will deal with this i***t later, I won't let him get away so easily."

Fern nodded and gave a warning look to George who turned his head to another direction annoyed. She then kissed Kyle one more time and caressed his back gently.

"Um... I have to tell you something." Ann spoke up suddenly.

"Yes?" Isaak said with curiosity.

"Derek, the Alpha of the pack with the kids we were at Switzerland called me and I informed him about what happened. He is coming here, he is worried about Blaire and El. He will be in Canada in the morning."

"Okay, I will go and take him from the airport, I am the one that has met him. No problem Ann, don't worry." Dillon replied and they all nodded.

In the meantime Ian was already sitting next to Blaire holding her hand and crying as silently as he could. The pain was killing him, her image was not Blaire's, it was her ghost's. She was too pale, she was full of wounds, cuts, bruises and she was breathing with support. Moreover her heartbeat was weak and slow and her skin was wat too cold.

Terror was howling in pain calling for Beth but she was nowhere, he couldn't feel her and he was getting desperate.

"Baby..." Ian whispered crying and took a deep breath.

"Blaire, please, I am begging you baby, come back. We need you, they all need you, our daughter needs you, I need you. You are strong, you can make it, I know you can hear me so please gain your strength and after you take your time come back again. I promise that everything is going to change, we will do anything you want baby, just come back. What an i***t bastard I was Blaire?! I did everything wrong, I never listened but I love you so much and I will never do the same mistakes, I promise you. If you don't want me, I will understand, just let me stay close to you, I will do anything." He said trembling with a broken voice and kissed her hands so many times and for so much time that he lost his breath.

"Ian... I can't feel Beth, my Beth is nowhere." Terror cried.

"Have faith please, Beth can make it. She is the strongest wolf there is. I know she can make it, she is maybe trying to save energy and closed every link of communication." Ian murmured with hope.

"Alpha?" the doctor said softly and walked to his side.

"Yes?"

"Blaire have a big wound at the back side of her skull. We are afraid about it." He explained pointing the back side of the other side of her head.

Ian stood up and leaned closer to see her wound. He gasped for air the second he saw more clearly. It was too big and it seemed deep.

"Can my blood help?" he asked desperate.

"Yes, but not now."

"Not even a bit?"

"Well, once Eleanor wakes up we will try Alpha. This is going to happen soon."

"Okay, thank you." Ian replied and El's doctor came in the room smiling.

"Alpha, I think that your daughter needs to see you. She is about to wake up. This is a big surprise but miracles can happen. She is moving."

Ian smiled and nodded. He kissed Blaire as gently as he could and took one step back.

"Go Alpha, you will see her again soon, with Eleanor." Blaire's doctor said and Ian nodded and followed the other doctor after he gave one last look at Blaire.

He quickly got out of the room and then went straight inside El's without talking to the others. Stefan and Kyle were waiting him with a doctor and El was really moving a bit getting ready to wake up.

"We thought that we should be here with you and tell her the truth immediately. She has to accept you so you can go together to Blaire. She knows Stefan for her father and we have to tell her gently." Kyle explained and Ian nodded in agreement immediately.

"Of course. I have no problem with it, I am relieved that we will do it together."

"Good. So let's get in, she will be awake from minute to minute." Stefan said and walked inside her room with Ian and Kyle behind him.

They all sat around her and Stefan tapped Ian's shoulder.

"I want you to know that I know that this is the right thing to happen. El has to know about you even if it is difficult and weird for me I have to accept it. You are her father after all..." he whispered nervously.

"But she recognizes you as her father, she has lived with you. You kept her safe and you saved Blaire from me, you brought her back to life when I 'killed' her." Ian replied in understanding.

"And you saved El and I am sure that you will save Blaire now. You did more." Stefan complained broken.

"I think you both did wrong but fortunately the other was there to correct the other's mistake every time so... You are at the same point here." Kyle interrupted and they nodded in agreement.

"She is waking up." The doctor stated and they all turned and looked at El.

She was opening her eyes slowly and sleepily and she was moving her fingers slightly.

"El?" Kyle said worried.

"Uncle..." she murmured and turned to Kyle.

"Welcome back baby. How do you feel?" Stefan asked softly and moved closer to her.

"Daddy!" she said louder and smiled opening her arms.

Stefan leaned to her and kissed her forehead hugging her carefully. Ian wiped some tears from his eyes and sighed relieved as Kyle gave him a sympathetic smile.

"How do you feel sweetheart?" Stefan asked again emotional.

"I am fine, I am a bit tired. What happened, where is mommy?" she asked looking around her.

"Baby, we will take you to mommy. Don't worry now." Kyle replied and caressed her hair smiling warmly.

"Who is this?" El asked pointing Ian.

Ian stiffened. He looked Kyle, Stefan and then gave an awkward smile to El. Her eyes were shining, it was true... 

She had his eyes, big, expressive, a mix or light grey and blue.

"Baby, we have to tell you something. I want you to listen carefully, okay? You are a big girl now and you can understand." Stefan started and El nodded confused.

"This is Ian honey. You don't know him and he didn't know about you until now." Kyle said and looked at El who smiled at Ian excited.

"I like him." She stated and Ian's heart began beating faster as his hopes grew up.

"I am glad you like him baby because I am not your only... father..." Stefan then said and El looked all around her speechless.

"El, Ian is your real dad, I just happened to raise you. Mom had to leave and Ian didn't know about you. Do you understand baby?" Stefan asked worried.

El was staring at Ian for some seconds without moving or talking. 

Ian began getting panicked and his palms were sweating from nervousness under Eleanor's gaze. She might had liked him before but what if she hated him now?

"I have two daddies?!" she exclaimed some seconds later and her face shined from enthusiasm.

"Yes baby. You have two. What do you say?" Kyle asked as he was the calmest of the three.

"Yes, I like him a lot!" she replied and tried to sit up.

Stefan helped her gently and she raised her hands to Ian smiling. Stefan took one step back ready to cry and Kyle signed to Ian who was staring Eleanor frozen. Terror howled excited and Ian blinked his eyes realizing that El wanted him.

"Go!" Terror yelled impatient.

"Hi, El..." Ian managed to say as he took two steps and reached her side.

She smiled and opened her arms asking from him a hug and he slowly leaned and wrapped his arms around her softly. The moment he touched her a big wave of happiness shook his whole body and he sighed relieved. Eleanor wrapped her little hands around his neck and he kissed the top of her head crying.

"Can I call you dad?" she asked whispering.

He laughed and kissed her head again as the joy was consuming him.

"Yes baby! You can call me however you want to." He replied and pulled back to look at her big, bright smile and her shining eyes.

"We have the same eyes." She exclaimed surprised and touched his cheek with her soft, tiny palm.

"Yeap, you do honey. You took your father's eyes and everything else is like your mother's." Kyle stated satisfied and Stefan nodded touched.

"Where is mom?" El asked once more remembering her mother.

"Sweetheart, we will tell you but first I need you to tell me if you remember anything. What happened to you and mom?" Stefan asked as he kneeled next to El and Ian.

"Mom was running too fast when you left. Some people were chasing us and they were too fast but mom was faster. I was crying, we stopped after the forest near a waterfall and then a man with some other men appeared and told something about mom, me, the family and I think dad." She said pointing Ian.

"He said that mom was always ruining his plan." She added and stopped confused.

Ian sighed and kissed her forehead again as El's words was making him certain that it was Zachary's job.

"Okay sweetheart. Thank you. If you remember anything else tell us. Okay El?" Kyle asked and she nodded.

"Now, what about mom?"

"Okay. El, mommy is not very well. You fell from the waterfall and she got injured but she will be fine soon, I promise you." Stefan explained nervously and Eleanor stiffened with a worried expression in Ian's arms.

"Can I see mom? Please?" she asked and turned to look Ian like she was waiting for his approval only.

"We have to ask the doctors baby girl." He told her softly and raised his eyes to the two doctors that were standing at the end of the bed smiling.

"I think we can make it. We will ask Blaire's doctor and in one minute we will tell you. Don't worry El, okay?" the one said and she nodded.

He left and they all stayed there silent. El was buried in Ian's embrace and in her one hand she was holding Stefan's who was smiling relieved. Ian had some tears on his eyes and Kyle was feeling much better and more energetic than before because of El's reaction.

"She is behaving so maturely. Like she is older and not a four years old girl." He told to his wolf proudly.

"You forget that Eleanor is the daughter of pure Alphas and her mother is a blessed white wolf. She has it in her blood Kyle, it is not a surprise for me, I was sure about it. And also don't forget her bond with Ian, he is her true father, she can feel the pull, it is too strong." His wolf murmured calmly.

"Yes, I think you are right."

"We can go. But only Alpha Ian and Eleanor can get in her room and stay for some minutes with Blaire." The doctor stated after he got in the room again.

"Okay, so..." Stefan said and signed for Ian to take El.

Ian nodded smiling and after he wrapped a blanket around El to keep her warm he took her in his arms and she giggled excited. He got out of the room behind the doctors and Kyle with Stefan followed close behind them.

"El!" they all exclaimed when Ian got at the corridor with her.

"Hi!" she said smiling and looked Ian who was ready to cry again.

"Are you okay?" George almost shouted and tried to reach her but Fern blocked his way with Albert discreetly.

They both knew that he would try to take El in his arms and he wouldn't listen to anyone so they decided to make it obvious to him that he had to be patient in a calm way in front of El. George stopped and looked at Fern whose eyes were turning black and sighed frustrated but one low warning growl from her stopped him completely and he took one step back defeated.

"She is fine. She wants to go and see Blaire with her father. Go Ian. El give kisses to mom for all of us." Stefan said and looked Ian with meaning.

Ian understood that it was about George's reaction and left quickly with the doctors to Blaire's room.

"You told him?! Who did you ask to tell Eleanor about him?" George almost screamed outraged once the door closed.

"I think that I don't have to ask anyone George because I am the father she knows all these years and Kyle is her uncle. Our common opinion was enough, Ian is her father and saved her and Blaire, so we didn't have to ask anyone." Stefan replied annoyed.

"Really? I have the right too and you ignored me, how the hell dared you?" he spoke back and took one step to them.

"Are you a son of mine or a traitor? I didn't raise you to act so stupidly." He continued pointing Kyle who was staring at him with a blank expression.

Alex growled and stood next to Kyle with Dean on his side and Stefan took a step to George with her eyes turning black from anger. Ann, Dillon and Henna were standing opposite of everyone as Fern and Albert were still blocking George. Isaak had gone to the pack house some time ago to check on Kara, Tia and Nick and he wasn't back yet.

"I think that you are pushing it George, stop it." Stefan growled.

"You shut up. You are not family to me anymore and soon my own son won't be either." George replied shaking from anger.

"I had enough of you!" Fern roared and pinned George on the closest wall catching everyone off guard.

"Fern!" he protested but she punched and stopped him.

"You are coming out with me NOW! I won't make a scene here." she groaned and pulled him away from the others and out of the hospital despite his protests.

She pushed him down the three stairs of the hospital's entrance once they got out and he fell on the ground violently. The only light was coming from the full moon and everything was peaceful except from Fern who was out of control with George for the first time in their common life.

"I had enough of you, do you hear me? ENOUGH!" she screamed and walked down the stairs quickly.

"Are you crazy?" George shouted and stood up like a flash.

"No, you are a crazy, f*****g, insane bastard!" Fern roared and pushed him again.

"Woman have you lost your mind?"

"Yes, like you have. What are you doing Gordon? Tell me, what the hell are you doing?" she shouted and punched him again.

"Do you see anything else except from our older daughter? Do you?"

"I want her safe and sound, what is your problem? I want my daughter and her baby safe!" he roared annoyed.

"OUR DAUGHTER! You are not alone you know and you don't have only one daughter!" she replied shaking.

"I know that I have two more kids."

"Really? That's why you are treating our son like he is your enemy?"

"What? I do?! What about him?" he shouted offended and took one step to her.

"Kyle did nothing wrong but you did! What are you doing for our son and younger daughter the last two years Gordon? Where have you been? How did you behave him today? Tell me damn it, how?"

"Fern try to think before you accuse me again. I won't accept it even from you."

"Bastard, f*****g bastard! I didn't know that my mate, the man I loved like  no one else, the father of my kids, the great Alpha was hiding a monster inside him." She screamed and began crying from frustration.

"Fern stop it!"

"You know what? I am not going to continue this talk. You are not the man I knew and you will never admit anything. I don't know what has gotten into you and I don't have any time or strength to deal with it. The only thing that matters to me is my kids, not you and your big ego."

She turned and tried to walk inside the hospital again but George grabbed her arm and pulled her on him with power.

"What is wrong with you damn it?" he asked breathless staring into her eyes.

"Ask yourself what is wrong with you. This is my first and last warning for you Gordon: Stay away from my kids if you can't be the father you used to be when they were younger. One more word to MY SON and I will kill you with my own hands. I won't allow you to treat him like he is nothing, like he is an enemy when he is holding the whole family for the last two years that you are complaining like a spoiled child all the time." She said through her teeth and pushed him away.

"What? Are you leaving me Fern?" he asked shocked.

"I am not but not for you. I will stay with you only for our kids and pack. I hope you change your mind because believe me no one is going to take your side if you continue like this and especially Blaire. You may be her father and she loves you like crazy but don't you ever think that my daughter will support your mistakes."

Once she finished her last words she turned and got inside the hospital like a flash leaving George completely alone standing on his feet with difficulty breathless.

What was happening to her?

Why was she against him so suddenly?

What had he done?

In the meantime Ian was sitting on a chair right next to Blaire with El in his arms. He was looking at the two women of his life and his heart was beating fast inside his chest. El had accepted him completely yet immediately and this made him optimistic. He was so afraid when he had arrived some time ago but after she hugged him he forgot everything.

"Dad?" El said and turned to look at him.

"Yes baby?" he replied softly and gave her a warm smile.

"Is she really okay?"

Ian caressed her hair and cheeks with affection not knowing what exactly to say. He didn't want to upset her but he didn't want to lie either.

"Honey, mum's condition is serious but we can both help her. I promise you that we will make anything we can to bring her back. I don't want you to worry and be sad, okay?" he asked and she nodded.

"I love her very much!" she murmured and buried her face in his neck.

"I know baby. She loves you more than anything. She is very proud of you."

"Dad, you won't leave again, right?"

She pulled her head back and looked Ian in the eyes breathless waiting for an answer. He smiled and nodded making her clap her hands in excitement. He chuckled from her reaction and kissed her again not being able to get enough from her.

"She is the sweetest person in the world, isn't she?" He asked Terror.

"She is like her mother! Our pup is the most special of all. I have a good feeling about her." He replied proudly.

"Alpha, we can try to give some of your blood to Blaire." A doctor said in a low tone and Eleanor's doctor joined his side.

"Okay, what about El?" Ian asked caressing Eleanor's back gently.

"She can go back to her room and rest, she needs it." Her doctor replied and Ian nodded.

"Okay baby, you should go now. We will see mommy in the morning, okay?" he asked and El nodded.

He stood up and walked to the door. A doctor opened it helping him to get out of the room and once Ian walked in the corridor gave Eleanor to Stefan. Her doctor joined their side and smiled pleased as they all gathered closer to them greeting and kissing El. Fern kissed her forehead and El kissed her back and only George was missing making them all feel more relieved.

"Dad will you come to stay with me later?" Eleanor asked impatiently.

"Yes sweetheart. I will. Go and take some rest, try to sleep and I will be there soon." Ian replied and kissed her hand making her chuckle shyly.

"Okay, time for bed young lady." Stefan whispered and gave a nod to Ian.

The two men turned and got inside the two rooms living the others again at the corridor. Fern sat exhausted on a chair and Kyle pulled her in his arms when he sat next to her.

"I have a good feeling mom." He whispered and she purred in agreement.

"I do too."

"I think that you should go and rest. It is quite late and now with Ian I think that Blaire won't have a problem. I will stay here." Albert stated calmly and looked all of them.

"I will stay." Kyle stated.

"Me too. I am not leaving them. Ian might need us." Alex added.

"Okay, I am staying too. I will leave later." Dillon said next and Albert nodded.

"Mom, go. You need to rest, it was a big day." Kyle whispered worried and kissed her hands.

"You need more rest than I do. You were travelling for hours." She complained and he smiled at her.

"I am fine. Don't worry. If I feel too tired I will go to take some rest too."

Fern nodded a bit unwillingly after some seconds and got up slowly. Henna kissed Alex and Ann broke her hug with Albert sighing. Dean whispered something to Alex and Dillon and then walked to Fern and took her hand in his.

"Come Luna, I will accompany you back to the pack house." He said and pointed Henna and Ann as well.

"Okay, if anything happens inform us immediately." Fern asked weakly and they all nodded.

"Yes mother, go..."

~some hours later, morning~

Ian was sleeping on a chair next to Eleanor. 

He had fallen asleep about one hour ago and Kyle with Stefan decided to let him sleep and not wake him up as he had given blood twice, he had travelled and he was too overwhelmed for hours and he needed rest more than anyone else.

Dillon, Kyle, Alex, Stefan and Albert were sitting outside the room that one hour talking about the reason behind Stefan's strange reaction.

"Are you sure? Are you really sure?" Dillon asked Stefan again shocked.

"I am telling you I am. I wouldn't have left Blaire if I was concentrated. I still can't believe it. How did this happen and why now?" he replied frustrated.

"Okay, let's close this for now. When Blaire wakes up we will deal with it." Kyle stated and they all nodded.

"I think we have to talk about something else now..." Alex said seriously and looked Kyle with a strict expression.

"We don't have to." He replied immediately awkwardly knowing what Alex wanted to talk about.

"No, no man. We will because you are not alone here. George crossed the line this time and I won't let you leave us." He spoke back annoyed.

"What?" Albert exclaimed and jumped up surprised.

"Really? Are you planning to leave the pack and the family?" Dillon asked breathless.

"No way in hell. Forget about it Kyle Gordon. I don't accept." Albert growled angrily and began trembling uncontrollably.

"I will once Blaire wakes up and I get sure that she is fine and can take her place as the Alpha again. I am done from all these." Kyle stated determinate.

"You are done from us? That what you mean? From our family?" Alex asked and stood up.

"I am tired, okay? It is my own right to want to leave. I can't stand him anymore, I am disgusted, disappointed. I want to leave. No one will stop me so don't try to change my mind."

"Man, I think that you are taking him too seriously." Stefan who was silent until then said annoyed.

"He is my father Stefan, how can I not? I won't fight him, I can't but I won't stay back to insult me either."

The door from Eleanor's room opened suddenly and they all turned and looked a tired yet sleepy Ian getting out to them.

"The doctors want to run some tests again. They will call us in a while. Good morning and thanks for letting me sleep a bit. Any news for Blaire?" He said quickly closing the door behind him.

"Come and sit man, you need it." Dillon said pointing the sit next to him.

"Do you need anything? You haven't eaten or drunk anything, you gave blood... I will bring you something." Alex said and Albert got up to join him.

"I am coming with you. We will get coffee and something to eat for all of us." He said and they left together.

"Kyle, are you alright?" Ian asked worried observing Kyle's frustrated expression.

"Not really." He replied shortly.

"About your father?" he asked and the three men turned and looked at him speechless.

"What? It is obvious, I saw his look yesterday, I could listen to him shouting and yelling. I am not an idiot." Ian replied and tapped Kyle's shoulder.

"Anyway..." Kyle murmured.

"Ian, can we talk for a while in person?" Stefan asked.

"We will go outside to get some air, take your time." Dillon said and stood up with Kyle and walked away leaving them alone.

"Yes?" Ian asked with curiosity.

"I want to tell you that I am sorry for everything that happened to Blaire and El, I want to explain you why I acted so stupidly."

"It's okay, we all make mistakes! I mean... I can't judge you, I did worse." Ian explained confused from Stefan's behavior.

"I want you to know that I am too confused myself and I won't stop you if you want to try to win Blaire. I... Ian, I don't know why all these have happened but I think there is a reason." He paused awkwardly and sighed frustrated.

Ian perked his ears and stiffened in his place nervously waiting impatiently. He had a weird feeling and Terror was murmuring something.

"I found my second mate..."
