The Alpha and his Panther Mate Chapter 153

IZZY

I opened my eyes and stared straight at a sleeping Blake.

I couldn’t help but smile and feel warm inside.

Last night, we made love a few times, and I must admit it was scorching.

Puna was content and even purring loudly in my head.

I felt happy.

I sighed but still stared at Blake.

“Do you have to stare at me?” Blake huskily.

I looked at his face as his eyes opened.

He smirks and moves closer, placing his arm around my waist. He pushes me closer, which makes me squeak. He puts his lips on my mine, and we kiss passionately.

Blake moved back and licked his lips.

“Mmm..” he says as he moves his hand, moves a piece of my hair from the front of my face, and places it behind my ear.

“I don’t want to move,” he says quietly.

I couldn’t help but nod.

I bite my lip and move closer to him.

“Can we stay here?” I whispered.

Blake smirks, “we…” he starts to say, but he stops. I stared at him, and his face was blank.

After a few moments, Blake sighed. “Well, we can’t stay here now,” he says and looks at me. “We have to get ready; the rogues arrived last night while we were making up. We need to make sure they are settled.”

I stared back at him; everything from yesterday came flooding back. Everything happened on the field, from the confrontation with the rogues and vampires to agreeing for them to move to both packs. I hope everything works out well, especially when we talk to our pack about having the vampires there.

“Izzy,” Blake says. “You okay?”

I shook my head slightly to get my thoughts back in check.

“I’m okay,” I say as I move up into a seating position in bed. Blake leans on his arm and stares at me. “I was just thinking how our pack members will take having vampires setting up home with us.”

Blake’s finger glides over my leg and draws circles around the top of my thigh.

“They'll be fine,” he says. I looked over at him, and he smiled. “Don’t overthink about it.”

I can’t help but stare at him. “I know, but the vampires did have a war with us. I don’t want the pack members to think we are not taking anyone in because we feel sorry for them or are not thinking about them as many died in that war due to the vampires.”

Blake looks at me for a moment but moves up and sits next to me. He leans in and places a kiss on my cheek. “I love hearing how you feel about the pack,” he says. “The pack is also yours; not only are you going to be helping me run the pack, but you have more say in everything that happens.”

Blake places his hand in mine and gently squeezes. “Izzy, you are my Luna. The pack will be fine,” he says. “We just have to ensure they understand the vampires are not here to hurt any of them. It might take us a while to persuade them.”

I looked at him but sighed.

“I guess we should get up,” I said.

I moved out of the bed and walked over to collect my clothes, which were scattered everywhere. I could feel Blake’s eyes on me the whole time.

“Do you have to stare at me?” I asked as I placed my top over my head.

As I pulled it down, I felt Blake’s arms wrap around my waist as he pulled me into his chest. Blake leans into the crook of my neck and sniffs in my scent. “MINE,” he says in a low growl.

Blake places a kiss on my shoulder and breathes my scent in again.

“I could have you again,” he says. “You smell so good, really sweet.”

I closed my eyes and leaned on him for a few seconds, but I sighed and opened my eyes. Blake moves slightly away, and I grab everything else from the floor.

After a few seconds, we were both dressed and walking out of the bedroom door. We headed down the stairs and walked to the office to find everyone else.

Blake opens the door, and I follow him inside, where Alpha Dawson, Dale and Drake are standing around the office table. They all look up at us as we walk in.

I looked at Drake, who had a knowing smirk on his face. Fuck, he must have heard us last night. I blushed, but I looked away and stared at the table.

“What’s happening?” Blake asked. “Have all the rogues come, or are we all still waiting for more to arrive?”

“Most have arrived; the ones that came back last night were mainly family members,” says Alpha Dawson. “The others with no family stayed in the packhouse till we can arrange where we can put people.”

I looked up and stared between the four men.

“What is the plan now?” I asked.

“Well, Alpha Dawson and I will sort out accommodations for the rogues that need homes,” Drake says while staring at me.

I nod. “Okay,” I say to him. I looked up to Blake, “And what about us?” I asked.

“Well, the three of us are going to go back home,” says Blake with a smile.

I nodded, but I glanced at Drake, who was looking at me and had the same stupid smirk on his face when we walked into the office.

I cleared my throat and looked away. “Where’s Anita and Anya?” I asked.

“They are with the rogues in the hall,” says Dale.

“Why don’t you go and see them?” asked Blake, which made me look up at him, slightly confused. “I need to ensure a few things are dealt with before we leave, and I don’t know how long I will be.”

“Yeah sure,” I said and walked toward the office door.

I opened the door and walked straight out, heading to the hall.

When I got there, the hall was covered with make-shift beds and many people. I walked in and looked around till my eyes landed on Anya, who was with a man.

I walked over to her, “do you need any help?” I asked her. Anya looks up and smiles. “Izzy,” she says. “Yeah, we are about to serve some food in the kitchen. The pack members already had food, so we are having some made for the rogues. Could you check on Anita as she is in the kitchen to see if she needs any help?”

I nodded.

Anya pointed to an entrance, and I walked straight to it. I walked through the door to find Anita helping another she-wolf. Anita was cutting up some tomatoes while the other woman was stirring the pot on the stove.

“Do you need any help?” I asked.

Anita looks up and smiles. “Hey,” she says. “Yeah, could you cut up some tomatoes, please? We're making some breakfast for the rogues.”

I nodded, walked over to where Anita was and started chopping tomatoes.

I was doing okay until the she-wolf brought some bacon over to the table. The she-wolf started to sort out the bacon, but the smell was getting to me. I don’t know what the hell happened; I began to feel sick. I stopped what I was doing and closed my eyes, but the smell was strong. I opened my eyes, quickly moved to the sink, and threw up.

After being sick, I drank some water and ensured I was away from the table.

I looked up and saw the concern on Anita’s face, “you okay?” she asked.

I nodded. “Yeah, I’m fine.”

I wiped my mouth and leaned on the counter near the sink.

After a few minutes, everything was sorted in the kitchen. I helped carry the food; even though I was hungry, my stomach did not have any of it.

I must have caught a bug or something, I thought.

When all the rogues smelt the food, they were around the tables and eating. I have to admit, they all seemed to be starved.

“Well, most of them were on the run or even at war,” says Puna with a yawn. “You don’t know what kind of food they ate.”

I stared back at her, and she looked so sleepy.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“I have no clue,” she says as another yawn escapes her. “I don’t know whether I feel ill or we had too much fun with mate last night, but I don’t feel too good.”

I know how she feels.

After a few minutes, the men walked into the hall, and Blake headed straight for me. He wrapped his arms around my waist, and I couldn’t help but lean on him.

His scent invades my senses, and Puna is back asleep in my head. All I could hear was her purring, mixed with snores.

“You okay?” asks Blake, pulling me from my thoughts.

I looked up at him and nodded. “Can we go home now?” I asked. “I want to see Allie.”

Blake smiles and turns to Dale, “have you got the car ready?” he asks.

Dale nods and smiles.

Blake and Dale had some food while I headed outside. I needed air.

As I stepped outside, the man from the field who was talking to us was standing there. The man wasn't alone and stood with his son and a smaller version of both men. They all had similar features. It had to be his son’s child.

“Luna,” says the man as he glances up at me.

I looked at them and smiled. “HI,” I said.

The man came up to me, and his son and the younger boy stopped with him. “Luna, this is my son Tate and his son Mason.”

I smiled at them.

“It is so nice to meet you both,” I say to them.

“Are you leaving Luna?” asks Tate.

“Yeah, we are leaving soon,” I say to them. Tate looks at me for a few moments, “I have to say it was an honor to meet you; I mean, we heard the story about how you destroyed the witch and lead vampire.”

I smiled, but I didn’t say anything.

“Luna,” says Tate’s father. “The vampires will be at the north border waiting for your word.”

I nodded. But I couldn’t help but stare at the old man, “How many vampires are coming?” I asked.

The man stays quiet and looks at me. “I believe there were only twenty vampires that joined before we came; William the vampire you spoke to yesterday, he and a few others wanted a home. Others were in two minds; what Amir did was unforgivable, whether it was between you, the pack, or anyone else. Not many people can get through what we all seen without scars of some kind.”

I stared at the man, but an image of Allie came into my head. I know both of us have a long way to go when dealing with emotions and feelings. I knew taking her memories, for now, was the right thing for her, and I will give them back to her soon.

Before I could say anything to Tate and his father, I could hear Blake and Dale walking toward the front door.

Blake walks through as I notice Tate and his father bow toward him. Blake stands behind me as Dale walks straight to the car.

“You ready to go home,” he says. “I want to see my angel.”

The mention of Allie has me feeling all warm, and all I want right now is to have her in my arms.

Blake and I walked to the car, climbed in, and waved to everyone as we started to leave.
