The Alpha and his Panther Mate Chapter 21

IZZY

The scent comes in strong. Dales goes stiff next to me, he looks up to the person.

“Mum, what are you doing here?” he says, looking towards Kacey.

Both Blake and Luna Lauren are silent but don’t move. Everyone around me is intense.

Her scent, I remember her scent but where.

I realized I haven’t looked up, but when I do Kat is standing up. “You shouldn’t be here, I told Graham that neither he nor you were to come here unless it was alright with Izzy” she says, through gritted teeth.

I grit my teeth. His mate. The one he chose over my mother. I don’t want anything to do with her.

“I wanted to come by and ask my children if they were coming home, when I noticed them in here I thought I would introduce myself to my mate’s child” she says, politely but with smugness on the words my mate.

I growl loud.

“I don’t have any intention of meeting you” I say, getting up from my chair. Puna is standing on all fours in my head, ready to come forward to take charge. I know she is reining in our power, but she is having trouble controlling it due to my emotions raging.

His mate just smiles at me “Well, I’m here now so I thought…..” she says but I growl louder “You need to get out of here now or I’m going to rip your throat out.”

She looks taken back but recovers “Please, I want to make right by my mate.”

She is seriously not helping.

I walk over to her, she doesn’t move. The smile never leaves her face. “You look like her, you know that” she says “you look like your mother.”

“How do you know what her mother looks like?” says Kat.

“Luna has photos of her so it is hard to miss,” she says, sarcastically.

I am about to lose my shit, she mentioned about my mother.

I can hear chairs being scrapped along the floor and footsteps moving, my anger is getting the better of me. I need to either kill her or leave.

“Linda, you need to leave” says Luna Lauren who is standing by Kat, Alice on the other side. I can feel their panthers are ready to attack, they can sense Puna.

“I will leave once my children are ready” she says, looking towards them “Come on, we need to leave. Your father wants us home”

I growl.

“Actually mother, we will meet you there. We want to spend time with Izzy” says Kacey who has come by my side. Everyone is riled up, even Blake and Dale.

Linda glares at her daughter in annoyance “Why does everyone want to get to know her? She has nothing to do with us. She is her mother’s child, born out of a mateless relationship.” she says with a snarl “I am so glad that Graham chose me over her, she would have made a terrible beta female especially being a pathetic panther.”

I growl loudly.

“GET OUT OF THIS CAFE NOW BEFORE I KILL YOU OR I WILL LET MY PANTHER PUNA COME OUT TO PLAY” I growl loud, Puna is coming forward again, my hand begin to show her claws coming through.

I am on the verge of shifting.

Puna is growling so loud in my head.

“OPEN THE DOOR” screams Kat but before anyone can do anything, I move and shift into Puna as I glide through the glass door, her eyes are bright green, staring at Linda who now is white and shaking in fear.

We want to kill her.

We are pissed.

But Blake, Dale and Alice are standing in front of the door. “Izzy you need to calm down.”

I can barely hear Alice, telling me as both Puna and I are too angry. The anger is taking over. We want to rip her throat out. Puna takes a step closer to go back into the café but Blake lets a deep growl out but we don’t care. We take a step towards her, but Blake moves in front, he is protecting that woman.

“Izzy, please, you don’t want to do this” he says “You are better than this.”

But Linda laughs from behind him “What she wants to kill me? She can’t, she is not allowed” she says.

I am losing control.

Blake can see mine eyes through mine Puna’s, he looks at me pleading “Please Izzy”

“Move” shouts Kat from behind “Izzy, you need to get out of here” she says

Blake pushes Linda out of the way, as I crash into him.

He growls at me, but Puna growls back louder.

I just attacked my mate.

Blake looks stunned; Linda is now behind Dale and Kacey.

I look around everyone is shocked and I can sense fear of them all.

Puna growls loud but Blake moves, she takes a step back and turns to leave through the broken glass. I get to the middle of the road and look behind me. Blake is standing where the door used to be “Izzy please, calm down, you are scaring everyone” he says.

I can feel eyes on me.

We look around and notice a few people looking on at the commotion, I growl.

“Puna, we need to run” I scream at her through our mind link “Run, NOW”

She turns around and blots across the road, straight into the forest. She runs as fast as she can if her life depends on it.

I am so pissed.

I don’t know if anyone is following us but we keep running.
