Mates And Enemies.

Love And Hatred.

"The human heart is a strange vessel... Love and hatred can exist side by side."

Blaire's pov

"Blaire?"

I turn and look at Stefan that is staring at me worried. 

We are going back to my pack after the 'meeting'. 

Ian left immediately after our mini fight or to say it better they took him out by force and told him to leave. 

After that we didn't talk a lot, we had no mood, I was in no condition to talk anyway. The only thing we talked about was the rogues' attack that Isaak's pack had some weeks ago. Fortunately it was nothing serious, it was a small number of rogues and no one got hurt.

I am sitting next to Stefan on the back sit of my car, Alex and Henna are behind us in Stefan's car and I am silent all this time, I am angry and heartbroken from Ian's behavior. So much hatred, so much anger, so stubbornness and... 

Stefan is still worried and my silence is not helping.

"I am fine." I lie.

"I know you are not sweetheart. You can talk to me. I am here Blaire, I am always here for you."

"We will talk once we get to my pack house." I say and he just nods concerned.

"You are being too hard on him. He loves us. He was afraid about us. " Beth whispers hurt.

"Are you an i***t? Stop telling me what to do Beth. I know what I want, I just need to stay alone with him." I answer back and she murmurs something relieved.

We stay in silence for some more time until we reach outside the pack house. 

My parents are already standing on the door waiting for us. Stefan gets out of the car and helps me get out as well like the gentleman he is. Once I walk to my parents they immediately understand that something is wrong. My mother turns pale and my father serious. 

Dean walks out of the house next to my parents looking at me with a meaningful expression, he knows my expressions all these years and is sure that something went wrong because of Ian.

"What happened?" my father asks worried yet angry.

I don't reply to him, I just pass by them and get in the house heading to my office on the top floor next to my room. Stefan stops to talk with them and I hear his car stopping in front of the house with Alex and Henna getting out of it. 

I reach my office, get in and bang the door behind me. I want to tear down the whole office.

The f*****g bastard, this shame of a mate, the biggest asshole there is. 

This man is or better was my 'mate' only for some hours and he is the father of my daughter. He hates me so much, he wants to kill me and my family, destroy my pack and I still felt sparks when he touched me even in a try to kill me. 

This is driving me crazy. 

Stupid bond! 

We just mated for once and I am still suffering. Just imagine what would have happened if he had marked me...

"Forget about him Blaire. We don't need him. We have the one we need and he needs us right back." Beth whispers trying to calm me down.

I don't reply to her, I just walk to the window and look at the forest in front of the pack house. I love this view, this land, this pack. 

But...

What have I done to suffer that much? Why do I have to fight the one that I am supposed to love? 

I can't just kill my daughter's father but I have to protect my pack and family. I have to fight him even if this is killing me inside.

At least Eleanor is safe in Canada. This is my first priority and Stefan helps me to make it true every day.

I hear a low knock on a door and I instantly know who he is. 

I am glad he is here, in my life, on my side, in my heart. I love you him very much even if I am not ready to be his mate yet.

"Come in!"

The door opens and his scent fills the room, I listen to him walking in and closing the door.

"Lock it." I say shortly in a serious tone.

I hear the door getting locked after some seconds and his footsteps get closer. His scent becomes more and more intense. 

I am still staring outside the window when I feel his arms wrapped around my waist gently. I take a deep breath and throw my head back resting it on his shoulder. We stay like this for some more time before I feel his fingers caressing my waist slowly.

"I can feel your tension from miles. Calm down Blaire. It is over now."

I turn around to face him and wrap my hands around his neck. He stays frozen from my sudden move and I move closer to his body burying my face in his neck. He slowly wraps his arms around me again and I take his scent with deep breaths. 

His scent calms me down immediately and I smile.

"Not in tense anymore." I whisper and move my head and lips on his cheek giving him a soft kiss. 

"Thank you for being in my life." I whisper again and he moves his hand and pecks my cheek smiling.

"I love you very much. You and Eleanor."

"I love you too." I say and...

He jumps up realizing what I just said and smiles brightly with a surprised expression on his face. I giggle and caress his hair with affection.

"You do!?"

"Yes. I love you even if it am not ready for a lot... You can't imagine how happy you make me feel, how safe."

"A lot?" he asks curious.

"Aha... " I whisper and pull him close crashing my lips on his.

Our first kiss...

The first time my lips are touching his. His lips are soft, warm and sweet. I am not ready to use my tongue yet but I love the feeling of his lips on mine. I don't feel sparks like I did with Ian but I feel a sweet warmth all over my body. I pull back after some seconds and smile at him shyly. Stefan just pulls me closer in his embrace holding me tightly.

"Thank you for your existence in my life." he whispers.

"Come with me." I say and pull him to sit on the couch and I sit on his lap like a little girl.

"I love this dress on you." he says and kisses my cheek.

"I love it because it is from you. I like your taste. I wanted to please you."

"You always please me Blaire. You don't have to try at all."

"Did you talk with my father about us?"

"He asked me how I am feeling about you and me back there. He is happy for us."

"He asked me too. I told him you are giving me time."

"Blaire, I am not giving you time. You are giving me happiness. Eleanor and you is the reason I smile every day the last almost six months."

"Is Eleanor okay?"

"She is fine. She just misses her mommy. I slept in your room with her last night. She was a good girl all night. Are you alright love? Did he hurt you?"

"I am fine, just frustrated. I can't understand how someone can be capable of hating his own mate."

"This is going to stay a mystery... You have to forget about it now. You have a pack and a family that needs you."

"And I need you, Stefan. Thanks Goddess I have you in my life. Your presence and only makes me a different person. You are giving me strength."

"I love you Blaire. From the first time I saw you."

He leans closer to me and I close the distance touching my lips on his again. I peck his cheek softly and he purrs. We soon break our kiss and smile.

"I need to go. Will you be alright?" he asks me worried.

"I will be fine. You go to Eleanor." I say and he nods and then pulls me closer for one more kiss. 

The only thing I can think while he is kissing me is how lucky I am for having such a man in my life...

~at the same time, Ian's pack house~

Ian's pov

I rush inside my room and start breaking everything in front of me. 

I can't believe Alex joined her f*****g pack. I had never thought he would be such a traitor. He is her f*****g Beta. 

I want to kill her even more now. This i***t witch. She is the biggest slut there is.

"Watch the way you talk about MY MATE!" Terror screams outraged.

"Your 'mate' is with someone else. Did you see her? She is with that jerk. It looks like she has been with him all these months she is missing."

"Everything is your own fault. I don't blame her. You never listened to her. I can't be with mate because of you. And we both know she hasn't slept with him or even been marked so stop blaming her!" he roars and I block him.

I know she is away the last six months but I didn't know where she was. Now I know she left to be with him. And then they tell me she is my mate. 

What a nice mate I have? 

She mates with me from the first moment and then she accepts my rejection and leaves to be with another man.

At least I have one more good reason to kill her from now on. 

I might failed to kill her sister and her best friend because of this coward I used to have as a Beta but I will try again. I won't stop until I make her suffer the way I am from the day her f*****g father ruined my whole life. 

She will live the same hell I have been through and after I am done with everything else I will kill her with my own hands.

"Ian! What are you doing?" Wendy screams and breaks into my room with Evan behind her.

"I will kill all of them. Alex joined her pack. She is sleeping with that ass. They threw me out of the house and she dared to touch me, she attacked me. " I scream shaking.

"Ian calm down." Evan tells me worried.

"Don't you tell me what to do!" I roar, rush to him and punch him on the face.

"Ian enough!" Wendy yells and pushes me away from Evan whose nose is already bleeding.

"What... THE HELL? What is happening here?" Bill shouts breathless getting in my room running.

"Bill take Evan to the pack doctor and leave me alone with him. " Wendy commands him.

Even if she just 13 she has power like a pure Alpha's blood daughter and Bill does as she said immediately. We stay alone and she turns to me shaking from anger. She pisses me off even more.

"Don't look at me like that." I roar but in vain. 

She is too mad!

"You will listen to me carefully Ian Johnston. Everything is your fault. You rejected your mate, you never listened to her father, you attacked her pack, you almost killed Tia, you almost killed Alex for taking care of his mate and you are mad at them and not with you. I may be young but I can see some things. You are blind brother. Blind and selfish. Zachary is destroying you!"

"Don't talk about him like this!"

"Why Ian? Do you have proofs he is saying the truth?" she yells and I blink my eyes surprised.

She leaves me speechless with her question. I leave free all the tension I am feeling all over my body and walk to the bed. I fall on it and close my eyes desperate.

"Leave Wendy." I whisper defeated.

"I will brother. Just get something in your mind. You still have time. Don't ruin our lives more. She is your mate and I am sure she loves you as you love her because you do love her Ian. Stop this madness and save all of us. Otherwise I am afraid you will stay alone. I won't stand by your side if you continue like this and neither Bill or Evan will. Think brother... " she says and with this she leaves my room quickly.

She closes the door and I feel my heart breaking into pieces. 

They are all against me. They don't understand my pain. I lost my mother and my father is almost dead for 3,5 years now. My uncle is uncapable of lying to me. He lost his mate and feels the same pain with me. 

Why are they against me and him? 

They are not just my friends, they are like brothers to me and Wendy's behavior is killing me. She is my blood, the only thing I have from my parents and she is taking their side.

"You are too selfish, Wendy is right. The only thing you are capable of thinking is yourself... " Terror whispers with pain.

"All I think about is my parents. " I reply annoyed.

"So does mate. You don't deserve her. Her absence is killing me. You tried to kill her back at the meeting. How could you? "

"I hate her, that's how and why. "

"You love her, you are just a monster who keeps calling your love for her hatred. I don't have a good feeling Ian. Be very careful... " he says and moves to the back side of my mind and I feel him staring at me with his blue eyes full of anger and pain. 

What am I going to do?
