The Boundary Line

Chapter 8

As I walked to the front door, I quickly combed my fingers through my hair and straightened out my clothes, before knocking on the door. As I waited for someone to open the door, I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if Tristan and I were together, and we were married. Luce Ryker. Luna Luce. My wolf smile in appreciation as we thought about it.

I heard a footsteps coming toward me. I straight my back and lift my chin in respect, Luna Whitney appeared and opened the door widely and smiled politely at me.

"Luce, darling. So mice to see you again. Mike is waiting for you."

I hate when she calls me darling. It makes me feel like that I am a 10 years old girl, and in reality I am not 10 years old. I am 18, about to be 19.

I kept my face neutral as Alpha Mike inspected and stared at me with a blank expression. I've been sitting here for what felt like a long time, when really it has only been two minutes. It has been two minutes and I have been sitting here quietly, as Alpha Mike looked me over.

"How are you?" The Alpha asked after the long silence.

"I'm fine, thank you", I replied while looking at Alpha eyebrow. I wanted to roll my eyes, when he ask me how am I. How can I be fine, he didn't even care that Tristan is my Alpha.

"So you're Alpha Tristan Mate?"

I snapped my head up surprised and looked at Mike. Finally, now he realize that Tristan is my mate. I thought he didn't even care, if both Tristan and I were mates. My wolf started growling lowly at the Alpha, I could feel her anger towards the Alpha in front of us, angry that he took us away from our Mate.

"We had to go anyway", I soothed my wolf.

"No, if it wasn't for him we could be with our Mate. His wolf wanted us." She whined, longing for her Mate. I look back at Mike, whose eyes were hook on me. I realized I hadn't answered his question.

"Yes," I answered, unsure of what else to say. I put my hands in my lap, as I waited for the Alpha to speak.

"He's a dangerous man, Luce," Mike said looking at me with somewhat sympathy. I blew out a big sigh and fell back into my chair exhausted. I closed my eyes frustrated. That's all everyone has said to me, that Tristan is cruel and dangerous. I know he is, I have been taught to hate that pack since I was pup. Opening my eyes, I found Mike already looking at me with worry.

"Alpha, I...I don't know what to do." I murmured to him. Mike ran a hand threw his brown, short sandy hair. He turn his grey eyes over to the window than back at me.

"I know what you mean. Tristan is the man you have become to hate, but I think rejecting him would only make things worse" he didn't finish as I cut him off.

"Alpha, I know Tristan a bad person, but he's my Mate and I have no intentions of rejecting him." I stated clearly, showing my stubborn, my protective side came out. Finding my eyes, Mike spoke again.

"Luce, let me finish. I was saying that if you reject him, it would only make him angrier, and as you and I both heard, Tristan says he wants you. In six more days, Alpha Tristan and some of his pack will be coming here, to investigate our pack about the murder the child from the Dark Moon pack."

My eyes soften as I remember the reason why Tristan was coming to our pack. Although everyone hates the Dark Moon pack, it still is a shock and is upsetting a child has been killed. Probably for no reason.

I bring my elbows to place them on the desk in front of me, I lean my face into my hands, sighing tiredly. My wolf was whining, as she told me she could feel the pain Tristan wolf felt for the murder of the child, when we visited them. Wolves are much more bonded, than our human forms, especially when you haven't mated yet with your Mate. I guess that's why my wolf could feel Tristan wolf pain, yesterday.

Pulling my hands from my face, I hadn't notice that Mike has gotten up and was standing next to me. Staring down at me, I glanced out the window. It was night time now and the stars were shining brightly. I smiled slightly, despite everything as I gazed at the stars, lost in their beauty.

"Luce."

I turn my head to Mike who was looking at me seriously.

"Luce, we will have a few days to think about this and clear your head. But remember that accepting Tristan could be dangerous. He has a lot of enemies, who want to take him down. Knowing that he has a Mate could put you in danger, but give his enemy an advantage. They will know what will make him weak."

I stared at my Alpha for a bit and thought over what he had just said, blushing a bit as he said the last part. I nod my head in understanding, I jumped up from my seat and make my way towards the oak wood door. Opening the door I slowly made my way down the steps and through the house, fully aware of Alpha following me.

Reaching for the door handle, I turn myself to the Alpha to thank him, when a mop of long red hair found its way into my face and around my arms. I relax as I hugged my Luna.

"Oh, darling look at you. All grown up and now you have found you Mate," she softly kissed my cheek, as I saw Alpha Mike wrap his arms around her from behind and pull her to his chest. As he kissed her ear, making her giggle. I couldn't help but fell jealously and hurt as I saw the love that my Alpha and Luna had for each other. I gripped the door handle and looked at the floor.

I wanted that. I wanted to be loved by someone just as much as I loved him. I wanted to know how it feels to love and to get love. I wanted Tristan to hold me like that. I know I don't know him, but just remembering looking into his deep eyes, it feels as if I have known him forever.

Glancing back at the sweet lovers before me, I slightly blushed as I noticed they both were looking at me with sympathy. Not wanting to hear any pity I opened the door and stepped out into the night. Shifting my gaze backwards I spoke myself good byes.

"Thank you Alpha Mike for the talk, it got me thinking what I need to consider." I then glanced at Whitney.

"And thank you, Luna Whitney for your kind words." I left the porch with one last wave to the Alpha and Luna.I began walking back to my house through a now deserted, pitch black alley. I wondered whether Aria would still be at Jake house. Probably.

Lifting my head to the sky as I continue to walk through the dark, I gazed at the stars. Tonight was magical. There were no dark clouds and it was clear. I could identify each stars. I felt a smile appear on my face as I thought about my mother.

"Mum, I found my Mate today", I whispered to the sky, knowing she could hear. Still walking.

"He's so handsome. So attractive. But he's my enemy, everyone hates him. Even I do, but now I'm not so sure." I felt the wind through my hair. My wolf started stirring uncomfortably as I detected a faint scent of something unfamiliar.

It suddenly felt as if someone was watching me. I stopped and look around, a growl coming from my chest. The hairs on the back of my neck and arms stood up. Something defiantly was here and I don't know what it was. Goosebumps wash over me as I searched the dark for any signs of danger.

Sniffing the air, I no longer smelt the faint scent I smelt earlier and didn't sense the feeling of being watched.

"What was there?" I asked my wolf. My wolf slightly whined.

"I'm not sure, but something was defiantly here," my wolf responded as I made my way back towards my house on full alert. Rounding the corner, I saw my house came into view and I noticed some lights were on, Dad must be home. Preparing myself for the worst, I jumped on the porch and open the door.

Rubbing my eyes tiredly and yawning, I wondered into the living room and smiled at the slight.

My dad was sleeping on the tiny sofa, he was far big for this small sofa, as his legs hung over the sides. I quietly turn off the T.V. My dad seem to have fallen asleep during some show.

Facing back to my dad, I grabbed the blanket from the other couch and cover his body, with the blanket. Leaning down, I placed a gentle kiss to his cheek, "Good night Daddy."

Tip toeing to the light switch, I turn it off and made my way upstairs to my room. Closing my door, I kicked off my shoes and changed into a pair of pajama. I climb into my bed and snuggle closer to the blankets and my pillow and my thoughts wandered to Tristan. Will he be asleep? Will he be thinking about me now? Tristan brown eyes appeared in my mind and I remembered the intensity they held. In five days time I will be seeing Tristan again, and secretly I couldn't wait.

I smiled to myself as I drifted off to sleep thinking about my god of a Mate.
