LOVE ACROSS THE DIVIDE:004

I turned to stare at Jane who was obviously as shocked as I was, hell everyone in the room was shocked except Lock who was just grinning ear to ear.

“What just happened?” Max asked, staring at the guy, my mate…. who hadn't said a single word, but was just staring at me with a blank expression?

“Blake just found his mate,” Jared said, almost sounding amused, and Blake glared at him, but still didn’t say a word.

“That is impossible,” Sarah muttered. “She is a werewolf. Lycans cannot mate with wolves. It does not happen.”

“Actually, it does” Lock interrupted “it happens but it's very very rare.”

“But Blake can’t mate with a werewolf, it can’t be.” Sarah sputtered again, staring at me with hatred but I couldn't care less.

“Who are you to decide who he can or cannot mate with?” Jane snapped.

They did not seem top like Sarah too much.

Sarah looked around the room in shock and stood up to approach Blake, “Blake honey, please tell them that this is ridiculous. It can’t be” she said and touched his cheeks. Seeing that single touch almost had me burning in rage.

“Hands off’ Shanty roared, and before I could stop myself, a loud growl tore out of my lips and I bared my growing fangs at Sarah.

She smartly let go of Blake who turned to stare at me again in bewilderment.

“Blake?” Max called, moving close to Blake. “Why are you not saying anything?”

“I am tired, “Blake muttered, taking his eyes off me to smile at Max. “I don’t have the time for this, I think there are more important things to discuss”

He said and Max nodded,

“For example, what was a werewolf doing here in the first place? 

“She came to….’” Jane began, but was cut off by a sharp glance from Blake.

“The damn wolf can speak for herself Jane!” He roared and Jane flinched.

“The damned wolf has a name and it is Lora” I muttered giving him a deadly glare.

“I don’t give a damn what your name is Wolf. Now answer my question, what the hell are you doing, polluting my territory with wolf stench?” He snapped and I stood up, seeing red.

“Now this is what is going to happen, Blake. I won’t have you insulting me, especially not in front of your whole pack. Whatever it is our family has against each other, you don’t take it out on me” I said defiantly and I caught a hint of surprise in his eyes.

“What makes you think you have the right to talk to me like that?” He growled.

“Nothing. But at the end of the day, unfortunately the universe decided to match you up with me, so we both might not like or want it, but trust me when I say that I want my due respect. I won’t tolerate any insults coming from you”

I was boiling, and I moved closer to him with each word I spoke, and his frown deepened. 

“Get out, and go back to wherever it is you are coming from” He muttered quietly and turned to leave but I followed him.

“Unfortunately, I am very desperate so I am not stepping out of this place till I say what I have come to say.” 

Blake turned around and gave me a deadly glare but I stood my ground and stared at him back.

“Or would you prefer we do this the hard way?”

“Like I said, interesting day” Lock said and I gave him a glare which he returned with a grin.

“So, you have been my mate for like two seconds and you are already barking orders and threatening me” Blake whispered and I softened a little.

I was the one who came here asking for help, and I sure would not get that help with this kind of attitude.

“I’m sorry.” I whispered. “I am just desperate and this is just too shocking, so please don’t turn away from me, I need help”

His gaze softened and he came closer, ‘How can we help you?” He asked and I thought about that for a second.

“I have no idea," I said and he frowned, “I have been getting death glares from a werewolf and I’m not even sure who it is, or how many they were. It getting worse by the day and my wolf just insisted I come here and I have no idea why”

“Why would a werewolf have anything against you?” he asked and I shrugged.

“I have no idea”

Blake looked at me for a few minutes, deep in thoughts before shaking his head, “I’m sorry, but we don’t involve ourselves with werewolf business. It is too risky, and mate or not, nothing is worth my family’s life”

I felt a painful squeeze in my heart as he turned and left the room without a word. Max stared at me for a few seconds and followed him.

What on earth had I gotten myself into? 

Of all the people to actually make my soul mate, the universe had to pick arrival? What had I done to deserve this?

The worse thing is, how would my dad react when he finds out that a Lycan is my mate?

We were supposed to be keeping as much distance as possible from the Lycans.

I don’t know what is worse, mating with a rival or the fact that my mate does not even care if I die.

“I will talk to him. He will come around” Jane said, coming up behind me.

“Oh, he will come around right,” Lock said with a mischievous grin.

“I have really had enough. I need to start going back home now before anyone notices my absence”

Jane gave me a nod and I picked up my purse from the chair and headed to the door.

Then I turned around, “Thank you Jane. And thanks to you all too for not killing me on spot. And Lock? It was really nice meeting you,” I said and Lock gave me a smile, Jane just gave me a nod while the rest just stared blankly at me.

“Lora” Jane called before I left the room.

“The mating heat can be very brutal once it kicks in, from what I have heard. You won’t be able to fight it”

I gave her a grateful smile’. I am sure I can take good care of myself.

I left the room angrily.
