Mates And Enemies.

Away From Him...

"Everything is about desicions, right timing, trust and ... Love."

~two weeks later~

Ian's pov

"Anything else? Any move from them?" I ask Alexis.

"Nothing at all Ian. Everything is normal." He says and I sign for him to leave.

"Um... Ian I want to ask you... How do you feel about being away from her? I mean you mated and isn't it difficult for you now?" he asks me with concern.

"Alex... Nothing has changed, I still want to kill her and her family. I just need time to think about a good plan." I say and see him staring at me disappointed.

"Ian... What if we are wrong? I always believed Zachary like you... But I don't know anymore Ian. What if you are wrong? You will lose her forever." He tells me and sits on the chair in front of my office.

What is this now?

"And you Alex?"

"I am like a brother for you... And... Her Delta, Henna... She is my mate Ian." He whispers with a painful expression.

Oh my Goddess!

"Is she? How? When did you find it out?"

"Three days ago near their pack's borders. She was training some trackers and I saw her. It's her, my mate Ian. Something feels wrong, my wolf is confused." He replies shortly.

"Look, I am sorry about you Alex but I am not going to accept your bond with her. She is our enemy too. If you want her that much then leave the pack." I say with rage and see the shock on his face.

"What? Are you that heartless with me? Are you calling this brotherhood Ian? I am your best friend. You are really blind. You know what? Forget it, just don't consider me as your best friend anymore. I will be your Beta because I am worried about our pack." He shouts and with this leaves my office angrier than ever.

He has lost his mind as well as the others.

Damn it! 

I had only one person standing next to me on this and I lost it because of a stupid bond. 

What has gotten into all of them so suddenly? Is she a witch or something?

"No. You are a monster." Terror screams suddenly msking his appearance in my head.

"Shut up. I was fine without you so many days. Block me again. I don't need you." I yell annoyed.

"I want MY MATE! Did you hear me? I need her now!"

"And I will kill your mate no matter what you say. Her pack killed 25 fighters of our pack two weeks ago." I remind him.

"I don't care i***t. It was your own fault, you attacked her pack. What was she supposed to do? Let you kill her pack? She is an Alpha Ian. And don't forget that she left their bodies unharmed for us to take them. She respected them. Unlike you..." he tells me growling angrily.

"I am done talking with you. I need no one." I say and block him out.

These last two weeks are very difficult for me...

I am always thinking about everything that has happened and I get angry every time I think about her. My friends and sister are taking her side asking me to talk with George. They are betraying me, my father and my mother and aunt's honor. Fortunately my uncle is in New York commanding some of our companies in my place and he is not here to get sad with their behavior.

I went sometimes back at the waterfall but no sign of anyone, her or her pack. I think she is avoiding me and I this is driving me crazy!

She is scared and she has every right to be because...

I will kill her.

Blaire's pov

"Are you still feeling sick?" Henna asks me with wary.

"Yes. I am stating to freaking out you know. I am almost certain..." I reply weakly and sit on my bed next to her.

It has been two weeks since I became Alpha and I haven't stopped running up and down the pack for different pack issues. It is very difficult to be an Alpha. Every morning I am training the fighters with my parents. They are all attending as I asked them in order to become stronger than before. The main reason I asked it is basically Ian, I want to be completely ready for anything 24 hours per day every day.

After training I am working in my office in some pack's business for hours until everything gets done. 

Henna is training our trackers with her parents and my uncle every evening. Dean is helping a lot with the basic training and Cai is helping me with some plans I want to have ready in any case if Ian attacks us again and I am proud because I made a great decision about Cai as he has great strategic knowledge and a bright mind.

Also, last night I had a meeting with Isaak and Dillon in order to talk about some basic things about our alliance as some packs near them have some rogues' problems and they want to be fully prepared in any case with me by their side if they need help. Of course, they want to help me with Ian if I need help and I appreciate their concern.

Everything is well, I guess but let's just say that I have my suspicions that this is going to change too soon...

The last four days I have sickness every morning and I have basic suspicions I might be pregnant. I have lost my appetite, I throw up every morning and I feel dizzy. I won't even commend the fact that I feel very tired and getting up every morning is extremely difficult now.

I talked about it with my family and they are very concerned about this possibility. This is going to make Ian even angrier and I am sure he will try to either kill my baby or take it away from me once I give birth. He hates me that much that he will stop at nothing to take his revenge.

"I brought you this. Take the test please." Henna says handing me a pregnancy test and I look at her in disbelief.

"I am scared Henna. What if I am?" I whisper and start panicking even in the thought.

"We will see. Now go and take the test." she repeats firmly and I nod while biting my lower lip.

Well s**t!

I get up and lock myself in the bathroom. 

Let's see?!

~some minutes later~

"Don't cry sis. We will think about something. You are not alone." Kyle tells me softly while caressing my back.

I am sitting on my bed curled like a ball with my whole family and best friends around me. I am crying like crazy trying to realize that I am really pregnant and now I have to figure out a good plan to hide my pregnancy from Ian and his pack.

Why did this have to happen now?

"He is going to kill my baby." I say through my sobs desperately.

"Baby we are here. No one is going to hurt you or your baby." My uncle tells me and sits next to me.

"Baie! Don't cy!" Nate whispers with a sad expression and I sign for my mom to give him to me.

I take him in my arms and he buries his face in my neck wrapping his little hands on my shoulders. I am going to be a mom and I will have a little baby like Nate in few months. 

How am I going to make it without a mate? 

Mate? 

No, forget it, my mistake. I can make it alone, I just need support. And I have it, my family is here for me and the little creature inside me.

"Baby, he won't find it out. The whole pack is going to help you. You are their Alpha and your child is going to be the title's heir. They will protect you with their lives." My mom speaks up and smiles at me encouragingly.

"Say something babe. What are you thinking of?" Dean asks softly with wary.

"What I am going to do..."

"And?" Kara asks me anxious.

I take a deep breath and try to think about a solution.

I need to protect my child, my pack and family. 

What can I do? 

I close my eyes and think, think, think and bingo! 

I open my eyes and smile relieved as they are all staring at me in silence impatiently.

"I have to leave for some months. I am not risking it. He can easily find it out. One wrong move and he can reach me and find out everything. I will give birth and I will be coming here usually in order to run the pack. My child will stay away from here." I state and my father opens his eyes widely obviously shocked.

"But where are you going to go?" Cai asks confused.

"I will tell you but first I want to know if you are all okay with me leaving. Will you help me run the pack from distance?" I ask and look at my father anxious for his answer.

He is my biggest supporter, my rock, my everything. Having him by my side in a decision like this means everything to me. I know that having Ian's baby is putting everyone in danger and makes things more difficult for my pack but what is done is done now and I am not planning to kill my baby. I stare at him shaking and praying to agree with me. He is staring at me seriously with a blank look but suddenly he smiles brightly and nods.

"Of course angel. We will. This was the best plan so far. But where are you going to go? He has people everywhere near us. He can find you if he wants to." He says with a thoughtful yet concerned look.

"There is one place and one pack he can't touch. And this pack is known to us." I tell them smiling and they all gasp surprised.

"Stefan!"

~some time later~

"Come on Stefan! Pick it up..."

I am waiting impatiently for Stefan to answer my call!

 I have to ask for his help and I hope he is going accept me. I am waiting for some more seconds before he answers my call and I hear his deep, clear voice.

"Blaire?" he calls my name surprised.

"Stefan is that you?" 

"Yes Blaire. What happened? Are you alright? Did he attack you again?"

"No, everything is fine. Well... Not everything but we are all good for now." I tell him trying to calm him down as he seems to be worried.

"How did you know it was me?" I continue.

"I asked your number from your father before I leave your pack. I wanted to have it just in case we need each other for something."

"Um... Alright..."

"Blaire what is wrong?"

"I need your help Stefan. In fact you are the only one who can help me."

"Did he threaten you?" he asks me with clear anger in his voice and I stiffen nervously.

Well, at least he hasn't done it yet...

"No Stefan. He hasn't done a thing until now. I am sure he will although."

"Blaire what is happening. You are scaring me."

"I need to ask you for a shelter." I say trembling.

"What? Why? For who?"

"For me... And... My baby." I state breathless.

"What?" 

I hear the shock in his voice and my heart breaks! Damn me and my stupid mind! What was I thinking when I had s*x with Ian? I mean...

Nevermind, Stefan is obviously freaking out.

"I am pregnant Stefan and I need your help to keep my baby safe and away from him. He can harm it and..."

"Blaire, you don't have to say anything else. You are coming to my pack for as long as you want."

"Thank you so much. I don't know what to say! You are my savior."

"I am coming tomorrow to get you. Get ready and don't worry about a thing. I am here for you and your baby. He won't harm you, you will be both safe, I give you my word!"

"Stefan, I will never be able to make it up to you. Thank you very much."

"I have to thank you for trusting me. Promise me you will calm down, yes?"

"Yes, Stefan. I already feel better."

"I am glad to hear that. So I have to arrange everything. I will see you tomorrow at noon, okay?"

"Yes. We will talk. Have a nice flight." I say shyly.

"Take some rest Blaire. See you." He says softly and we end the call.

I sit on my chair behind my office relieved. I leave my phone on the office and close my eyes smiling.

"Everything is going to be alright mommy's little angel. No one will harm you." I say and place my hands on my belly gently.

And yes! Someone decides to knock my door and I know who he is...

"Come in."

"Sister?" Kyle says and comes in the office closing the door behind him.

"Sit brother. What is wrong?"

"Are you alright?" he asks with wary and walks to me.

"Yes. I talked with Stefan. He is coming here tomorrow to take me with him in Canada." I say smiling melancholically and he smiles back to me.

"I knew it. I never thought he would deny you a thing." He says smirking and places his hands on my shoulders caressing them gently.

"He is a great man." I murmur.

"And he is crazy about you." He whispers and makes me move a bit in front surprised.

"What are you talking about Kyle? He is just being nice."

"Really sis? Are you that blind? We all see he is in love with you."

"What the hell Kyle? Aren't you too young to be certain about all these?" I say annoyed.

"You mean that I am blind? Even dad and mom agree on this. He is in love with you Blaire. I can assure you. I may be 16 years old but I can definitely distinguish a man who is in love and he is. That's why he came to your ceremony, he was so worried about you, he got so mad with this asshole and came to fight with you. He even asked your number from father." He replies still smirking wickedly.

God!

"He is father's friend Kyle, stop telling me stupid things."

"Okay, as you wish. Just keep in mind that dad is acting like he hasn't noticed but I am sure he likes the idea of you and Alpha Stefan together. You need a man like him." He says and walks out of my office without waiting for my response.

"I like Stefan too." Beth says appearing out of nowhere excited.

"And you traitor?" I groan in frustration.

"Look, I know it sounds weird but why not Blaire? We are young, strong and beautiful. He could be in love with us. Don't forget what he has been through. He is a mature man, he knows what he wants."

"Beth, I don't feel comfortable with this. Just focus on our baby. Soon we will have a little innocent soul in our hands." I say and hug again my belly.

"He can't harm us Blaire. I won't let him." She growls frustrated.

"I am just worried about our pack." I say scared.

"We have people who are going to take care of the pack until we come back girl. Don't worry."

"Yeah, I think you are right..."

~next day~

"Take care of her Stefan." My mother asks him while crying softly.

"I will Fern. I will take great care of both of them." Stefan assures her and smiles at me proudly.

"Call me every day and send me photos of your baby when you go to the doctor." Henna tells me smiling and hugs me tightly.

"If anything changes with you and Alexis please tell me immediately. If you need a break come to find me, okay?" I tell her worried and she nods.

I say goodbye to my whole pack and cry a lot when I reach to my parents and brothers. 

Kyle is trying to be strong, Nate is crying realizing I am leaving, Tia is holding me next to her caressing me hair. My father talks a bit with Stefan some meters away from us and my mom is caressing my flat for now belly with tears in her eyes. My grandma, uncles and Kara are standing next to us staring at me with emotion. Dean and Cai are observing me serious yet heartbroken with Henna between them crying loudly. The rest of the pack is behind my family staring at me sadly in a complete silence that I have to admit is breaking my heart.

And okay, now I have to say my last words, it is the right thing to do.

"I want you all to obey my father, Dean, Cai and Henna. I will be being informed about you every day and I want you to act like I am here. I will see you again in some months. Take care of yourselves and our pack. I love you all and I am proud of you. If you need me just call me and I will do anything possible to help you as much as I can." I tell them and they cheer proudly.

"Blaire, we are ready if you are." Stefan walks to me and whispers near my ear.

"Yes, I am ready Stefan. We are leaving."

I turn and hug my father for one last time crying softly.

Fuck, this hurts like hell! I love him so much, I already miss him!

"Take care angel. Both of you. I want my grandchild happy." He whispers and makes me break into sobbing once more.

"I will. Take... Care of you and... All of them." I say with pauses and he nods smiling.

"Come sweetheart." Stefan says and pulls me gently to the car.

I quickly get in the back sit (as I will change my mind if I dealy it more) with Stefan next to me and smile at everyone who is observing me with tears. The driver starts the car and I stay silent looking the car getting away from my house while Stefan takes my hand in his and caresses it softly.

"I know it is hard for you Blaire but I am here and my pack is waiting for you. You are doing the right thing, I will never leave you and your child alone." He states and I move closer to him and rest my head on his shoulder.

"I know Stefan. I have you and this is enough for me..." I say and he gently moves his hands and wraps them around my shoulders holding me in his embrace with affection.

"I will make you both happy Blaire. I promise." He whispers and places a soft kiss on my forehead making my heart skip from his show of affection.

Yes, he is telling the truth, he is not lying!

"I know..."
