Mates And Enemies.

Three Months Later...

"Fire might destroys everything but after she passes the ground gets ready to accept new life."

~about three months later~

Third person's pov

It had been three months since that incident in New York's ball. 

Three months since Ian had marked Blaire against her will, had rejected her again, had cheated on her worse than any other time and Blaire had accepted his rejection for one more time. 

Three months since Blaire almost died from the multiple shocks her body suffered but as a strong woman beared the pain and managed to become stronger.

That night Stefan promised he was never going to allow Ian get close to Blaire and Eleanor again. 

He lost his life once when his mate and their daughter died and he couldn't lose it again. 

Blaire and Eleanor was his life now and he wouldn't bear their loss too. 

Watching Blaire in so much pain broke his heart, he wanted to kill Ian but he was Eleanor's biological father and this stopped him. He didn't want to cause any more pain to Blaire and to Eleanor in the future when she would found out the truth. Once he got sure that Blaire was out of danger he calmed down a bit, he managed to breathe and found his hope again. 

Blaire slept peacefully that night, she needed rest and being in Stefan's arms made her feel safe and calm.

The next morning Dillon, Isaak and the doctor paid them a visit. They were still worried and wanted to see her. The doctor checked on her again and assured them that Blaire was out of control and very lucky. The whole condition could have caused her mental damage but fortunately nothing happened. They all stayed in New York for three more days, they wanted to be sure that Blaire was in a good condition in order to travel and after these days Stefan took her back to Canada. Dillon and Isaak went back to their packs but kept on calling every day to learn about Blaire's condition.

Blaire and Stefan's family, friends and packs got very mad. Her father, uncle and friends wanted to find Ian and kill him. If it wasn't for Eleanor they would have done it immediately. Her parents went to Canada to see her, they were worried and no one could stop them. They stayed with her for almost two weeks never leaving her side. They spent time with all of their kids and their granddaughter together. They loved little El, she was just like their daughter. Her smile, her lips, her scent and character were exactly like Blaire's and they were sure she would made a great Alpha in the future.

Also Blaire's father talked a lot with Stefan about his relationship with Blaire. Stefan was feeling guilty for what had happened, he had left her alone and he hadn't listened to her when she told him she had a bad feeling. He knew that Ian was dangerous but he could have never thought he was that insane. 

George from his side told him that it was not his fault. He couldn't have known what was going to happen. He knew very well that Stefan was blindly in love with his daughter and wanted the best for her. He was happy and relieved that one of his best friends was standing next to his girl, Stefan was always a great man, he was living with honor, kindness, patience, generosity. There was no other man on earth more worthy of his daughter's heart and love especially considering what he had been through. 

Stefan assured him once more that Blaire and El was his only happiness and he was thinking seriously about them. He wanted to marry Blaire and spend the rest of his life with her. He was just waiting for her, he didn't want to pressure her, he needed to make her want him by herself and not by force. George from his side assured him that he would always be on his side in everything related to Blaire and El, he wanted them safe and happy.

Kyle, Tia and Nate were safe with them in Canada. Blaire had talked with Stefan and her parents about not Kyle go back to her pack until she was sure that he was ready to face Ian if he had to. After the last incident she decided to keep Kyle with her too and train him by herself with Stefan, Wei and Alex. In about one year Kyle would turn 18 and she needed to be sure he was going to be one of the best, only in this way she could let him go back to her pack and stay 'close' to Ian. 

Kyle from his side was pleased about their decision, he wanted to stay close to his brothers and he trusted Blaire and Stefan blindly, he knew that they were going to help him more than anyone else. 

Tia was going to a private school, she was happy and she had made lots of new friends. She always loved and adored Blaire as she was her older sister and her idol, she wanted to become like her and being with her made her more mature, responsible and strong. 

Moreover Stefan was spending time with her and he was teaching her lots of new things she didn't know. 

A for Nate, he was growing up quickly, he was about two years old and very energetic. The whole pack was running behind him all the time, they were all taking care of him in order not to get into troubles, get lost or hurt and they loved him very much. He was a cute and cheerful kid. No one could complain about his little scandals becuase his innocent smile was melting everybody's hearts. Stefan and Blaire were treating him as their own son, he was too close with Eleanor and he was taking care of her like an older brother.

Blaire's uncles, Travis and Julia with her cousin, Kara were back at the  pack taking care of everyone the two weeks her parents were missing and when they came back they began helping them like always. 

Her grandma visited her in Canada once, she was worried and had missed all of her grandchildren very much. 

Dean and Cai were running the pack under Blaire's and her father's orders with Henna taking care of the trackers and helping with the basic training and the pack's safety. 

Alex was in Canada the first month after Blaire's incident with Ian but turned back to the pack with Henna as Blaire knew that they had missed each other and she couldn't keep them separated. Alex was often travelling to Canada to see Blaire and her brothers, he was really close with them and he was crazy for Eleanor. He was missing them, he might was from Ian's pack and his close environment but Blaire was like a sister for him. She had been treating him from the first moment like he was a real brother for her, a friend, a family. He knew her side and was mad yet sad with Ian's behavior especially now that Blaire and Ian had a daughter together. He wanted to help them but he couldn't trust Ian anymore, he got extremely mad at him for what he had done to her in New York and promised himself that he would keep her and her daughter safe until his last breath. He was also grateful that Stefan was in Blaire's life and he was taking care of her. Ian might was his friend but he didn't deserve her and Stefan was the biggest help for her, he could see that he was in love with her and she loved and adored him a lot. He was feeling a bit awkward with it at the beginning but during the last three months he got used to the whole situation and he was feeling happy for them. Moreover, Stefan was very kind to him, he never treated him rudely or tried to lower him.

Eleanor was growing up fast, she was happy and full of life and energy. She was ready to start banging, she was giggling all the time and she was very friendly and calm with everyone and everything. 

She loved her mother and Stefan. She was smiling to him all the time, it was like she knew how much he loved her, like she could feel his heart. Her mommy was her everything, once she was in the same room her whole world was spinning around Blaire and her arms were her paradise. 

Her uncles were playing with her everyday and Nate was her other half. They were sharing the same room and she couldn't sleep without him by her side.

Blaire from the other side was trying to gain her strength again. 

The first two months she had been having very bad and strong headaches, the doctor had informed them about this. It was the side effect of the whole shock and had her suffering quite enough. She was very patient although and handled the whole situation very well. The first days she was having nightmares with Ian and couldn't sleep alone. Her mother or Kyle was sleeping with her when she went back to Canada but soon after her parents left she realized that only Stefan could help her. 

He was her personal shelter, her rock. This man turned to be the one she always needed. She asked him to sleep with her in her room every night if he wanted and of course he accepted without having second thoughts. From that moment she was sleeping and waking up in his arms every day and night. His scent, his touch and voice were her cure. She stopped having nightmares, she was taking rest and she was happy. She got her old self back gradually and she became stronger than before. 

She decided to forget Ian and their almost lost bond for good and stay away from him. She was sure he was never going to change and it was useless to try to reason with him.

She started falling in love with Stefan, she always loved him but now it was different, she couldn't stay away from him. His affection won her heart and made her dreaming of a better future again. She wasn't ready to mate with him yet but they had made a small progress and she wasn't ashamed being close to him anymore. He was a man with skills and experience, he was patient with her and made her feel comfortable in this sector. She could sleep next to him almost naked, she could let him kiss her almost everywhere enjoying it, she was capable of showing him affection without being nervous.

She was also talking with her parents and Dean with Cai every day about the pack's issues and she was giving them orders and instructions. She wanted to visit them soon to see them in person and spend some time with the whole pack. 

Moreover, she was training every day, she was also training Stefan's pack and Kyle with Wei and sometimes with Alex. She was taking care of Tia, Nate and Eleanor with Elona's and some other pack member's help and she was proud of them. Stefan was helping her a lot as well, he was great with them and these kids were crazy for him.

Despite their heavy program Stefan and Blaire were spending time together and they were taking care of each other alone. Blaire was accompanying him in his social manifestations and she had changed the way she was dressing for him. 

He had never asked her to change, she felt the need to do it, she wanted to stand by his side properly like a real elegant and strong woman. She was wearing elegant and chic dresses, high heels, she was taking care of herself daily and she was feeling very well. 

Stefan was very happy and proud of having her by his side. She was accepting him in her life, she was asking him more day by day and he was the happiest man there was. He was feeling like they were real mates even if they hadn't marked each other or mated and also a father even if Eleanor, Kyle, Tia and Nate weren't his kids. 

Also, when he was travelling for business Blaire was taking care of his pack and everyone was loyal to her. She had gained their respect and adoration, she was like a luna for all of them and he was calm when he was abscent.

As for Beth now, she was happy and calm after lots of days of being hurt and howling in pain for Ian's behavior. She tried to heal Blaire faster but in vain. She was suffering more than Blaire and she wasn't able to lose more energy than she already had. Her nerves were weak, almost broken for at least one month. She was bearably talking to Blaire despite Blaire's tries to make her feel better. Only Stefan's wolf managed to help her with small, steady steps. Blaire and Stefan were leaving them almost every day to go for a run in the forest and spend time on their own. His wolf was very caring just like Stefan and Beth felt loved again. She gained her lost strength, her lost confidence, her hope. She was sad about Terror but she couldn't do anything else, she loved him a lot, she would always love him but she had to move on for Blaire, Eleanor, their family and pack.

Ian, from the other side was devastated, he was angry at himself for what he had done to Blaire.

He wanted to harm himself for the pain he had caused her. He couldn't believe how he had done it. He was thinking about the first day he had met her and he was crying desperately. That day before he learn her name he had told her that he could never hurt her because she was his mate, his luna his other half and he had been waiting her for years. 

He was so happy back then and turned to be so angry and disappointed...

He was worried about her, every night when he was trying to sleep he was listening to her screams when he had gone to the hotel after following Stefan and Isaak. His heart was breaking, her screams were unforgettable. Her image was coming in front of him every time he was closing his eyes and he was jumping up breathless. She was having spasms, delusions, her nose was bleeding, her body was shaking and she was so pale that he had thought that he would lose her forever. 

He couldn't rest, sleep or eat properly. Nothing and no one could help him. 

The guilts were killing him slowly, he wanted to ask for her forgiveness and see how she was doing.

He tried to communicate with her, he called Alex and tried to talk to him but Alex never answered his calls. He knew Alex was mad at him but he was his only hope. He couldn't forget the short sentence Alex had told him at the restaurant that day.

"Give both of you a chance, you will regret everything one day."

That's what he had whispered to him with a painful expression and  Alex was right. 

He was regretting everything now. For three whole months he was calling him every day but in vain. Alex seemed to have deleted him from his life. His best friend hated him and it was his own fault.

He called Blaire's father as well. He found the strength to make it. George answered his call only to tell him to stay away from his pack and family and especially from his daughter. He refused to talk to him further, he was too mad for the first time in all these years. He was the one that tried many times to talk to him but now he didn't even want to listen to his voice on the phone.

His other hope was Blaire's mother, Luna Fern. She was a kind and sensitive woman like every luna. She did answer his call and after he asked her to listen to him and asked for her forgiveness too she told him she was disappointed at him and she couldn't help him at all after what he had done.

He also tried to find Blaire's number from Dillon and Isaak. He begged them to give him her number but they both warned him to stay away from her for one last time and when he asked them how she was doing they both ended the call without answering him.

His wolf wasn't talking to him. Only one or two times he appeared for some seconds, cursed him for his behavior and the pain he had caused to him and their mate and disappeared immediately without waiting for him to talk and ask sorry.

He was feeling alone and lonely. 

Wendy was ignoring him completely once she learned what he had done. She loved Blaire from the first time she had seen her, she had warned him too many times but he never listened. Evan and Bill were talking to him but not like the past, they were distant and cold. He begged them to call Alex and ask about Blaire but they told him that they did it and Alex refused to tell them anything about her.

And...

This was a big lie. 

Evan, Bill and Wendy were talking almost every day with Alex. They knew about Blaire's condition and life except from Eleanor of course. They were very happy that Blaire was getting better and promised not to tell Ian a thing, they couldn't trust him anymore. They were sorry for him, they couldn't see him like this but they were not sure about him anymore. He had almost killed Blaire and they were trying to keep him away from her. Blaire had won their love and respect, they were feeling sorry for her and they couldn't let anything bad happen to her again.

Ian had talked to his uncle about everything and Zachary got sad. He told him that this was too bad and he had to keep himself away from her and find a better way to hurt her if he needed it that much. Ian got mad with his words but never replied. He didn't want to lose the only one that was standing by his side after everything.

He was going to see his father every day. He was crying begging him to wake up and help him. He wasn't sure about anything and anyone anymore, not even his own self. Maybe he was wrong from the beginning, maybe he had to talk to George years ago. Maybe he had to talk with Blaire and never let her allow her to go to Stefan.

He was dying every day and night, he was thinking everything that had happened and the pain was unbearable. 

The only thing that was giving him some hope was the possibility of a miracle...

Blaire's pov

I am laying on my bed or better Stefan's and mine bed. 

We are sleeping together every night in my room and it feels great. 

Today he had some serious meetings and he didn't come for lunch or dinner. It is almost midnight and I am still waiting for him to come. I put Tia, Nate and Eleanor to sleep, Kyle got home some time ago as he was out with some pack members at his age and now he is sleeping as well.

I can't sleep without Stefan anymore, I don't want to. I need to have him by my side and I missed him today. 

Thanks God I found him! 

After Ian I was pessimist but Stefan made me start dreaming again.

Ian may be my true mate, I loved him like no one, I fell in love with him immediately but I am done with him. 

I want Stefan, I love him, I adore him and I am falling in love with him every day. My life with him is like a fairytale, he is the one I needed.

I turn around on the bed worried, where is he? I don't want to call and bother him.

"He is here Blaire, I feel him." Beth murmurs smiling and I hear a knock on my door.

I get up quickly and run to the door excited. I open it and jump in his arms smiling. He wraps his arms around me tightly and kisses my neck with passion. I pull him inside the room and he kicks the door softly to close.

"I missed you!" I whisper purring.

"Me too love. I am sorry, something came up and I had to stay a bit more at the office."

"Is everything alright?" I ask with wary.

"Yes, baby. It is nothing serious. I will tell you once I take a bath. Wait for me, okay?"he asks smirking and I bite my lower lip.

I nod quickly, give him a quick kiss and he gets in the bathroom. I have already prepared towels and clothes. I lay on the bed and wait patiently for him to join me.

After some minutes he gets outside and walks to me wearing only boxers and a pair of sport trousers. He lays down next to me and pulls me in his arms. I rest my head on his chest before I kiss it some times and he kisses the top of my head.

"So?" I ask with curiosity.

"Our King called me. We have to attend a meeting in New York. Every Alpha and Luna will be there. We can take Betas or Gammas with us. He informed me for you as well. We have to go."

I lift my head up and look at him with disbelief and wary. He pulls my head on his and crashes our lips. I move my body on top of him and kiss him passionately. He places his hands on my hips and caresses them while moaning in my mouth. I take his face in my hands and deepen the kiss feeling lust and desire. After some time he breaks our kiss breathless and pecks my lips smiling.

"Are you alright with what I told you?" he asks me worried.

"Alright or not we have to go, so... You will be by my side so I don't care. As long as we are together I am fine with everything." I reply and peck his lips

He purrs and kisses my nose with affection making me giggle.

"When are we going to leave?" I ask shortly.

"In one week from now. We have to decide if we are going to take anyone else with us and who it is going to be."

"We have time." I say softly and caress his cheek.

"And I have you!" he states and pulls me on the bed and lands on top of me.

I giggle, he captures me under him and starts kissing and sucking my neck. I moan and wrap my hands around his waist tightly. He moves his hands down on my hips and pulls my nightdress up to my stomach. He rubs my stomach slowly and I moan aroused.

"I am glad you missed me..." I whisper wickedly and he lifts his head up and smirks.

"Why?"

"Because I missed you too!" I say and bite my lower lip devilishly.

His eyes turn instantly black from lust and crashes his lips on mine kissing me passionately. We kiss like crazy and I groan in his mouth feeling wet between my legs. He moves his hand a bit lower and stops waiting for my approval to move a bit lower. I move my hand on his and help him place his hand on my lower belly some inches above my clit. He lets out a deep groan and caresses my skin sensually. I bite my lower lip and he sighs with his manhood pressing me between my legs.

"One day you are going to be the death of me..." he whispers breaking our kiss and I sigh satisfied.

"When?" I ask trying to seem innocent.

"When you are going to become completely mine." He says and leans on my neck to suck it again.

"I want to become yours soon." I state and he stops slowly and smirks wickedly.

"I will do whatever I can to make you feel ready for it. Don't pressure yourself, I can wait."

"I love you! You are the man I was waiting for!" I say and feel my cheeks getting red.

"You are the woman of my life baby. I want you like crazy, I love you like I have never loved anyone. You are my life. I promise you we will always be happy!"

"I know! Now shut up and kiss me Alpha!" I whisper with complaint and he smirks devilishly.

He crashes his lips again on mine and makes the time stop around us.

This is happiness, finally...
