Unpredicted Mates

Final Chapter

Dedicated to- Trisscar

Jake was now by my side looking at me concerned, worried and then his gaze followed mine which was locked on my mother's confused angered eyes. 

"Annabelle" she said sternly watching how close I was to the hunk of a man who was stood less than an inch to my right. 

"Mother... Why... What are you doing here?" 

"I could ask you the same thing. Annabelle" Her eyes darted around the room filthily as if everyone around her was below her. 

"You sent me here on business" 

"Yes Annabelle. That was more than a week ago, I expected you back an hour or two after the meeting not for you to just disappear into thin air" 

"Maybe we should take this somewhere private" Jake muttered butting into the conversation. My mother dirtily looked him up and down disapproval clearly written across her face

"And you are?" I could hear the low snarl come from Jake's throat, she was making him angry. 

"Jake. I'm someone you don't want to mess with!" He said slightly baring his teeth in warning, his panther clearly making it's way out. 

"Was that a threat?" My mother replied sarcastically almost threatening. 

I knew I shouldn't of but I wrapped my hand around Jake's bulging bicep, I could feel him relax almost instantly at my touch.

"No it was just a warning." 

I glanced back to my mother her eyes now wide and furious as she looked to my hand placement.

"Scott, Mark and Emily stay. Everyone else. Leave" 

It wasn't a request it was a demand. 

Scott handed Samuel over to Ben and by the looks of it neither Ben or Samuel wanted to go out but they had to obey their alpha's orders. One by one another pack member got up to leave. My mother staring up and down each and every one of them. 

The doorbell rung through the air once more, who could it be this time? 

"I'll be back in a second" Emily said leaving my mother standing alone. 

"Annabelle Rockman, why have you not returned home?" she said ignoring the men in the room. 

"I've been here mother" 

"Why would you want to stay here? You have a lovely apartment in the city and these are not our kind" Jake snarled again 

"Mother I've felt more at home here than I have ever felt hiding away behind closed doors in the city" 

"How can you say that? Here of all places? You should be with me and the rest of the regulars in the city not out here with... THEM!" 

Jake stiffened and leant into me placing a single kiss to the side of my head inhaling my scent and exhaling deeply. I could sense he was struggling to control himself.

"Annabelle please control her" he said softly but hoarsely into my ear. 

"Get away from my daughter! This is why isn't it? They've been telling you lies. Trying to get you on their side so they can use your godforsaken diseases" I heard the crash as Jake threw a chair across the room making me jump just a little.

"Don't you dare speak about her like that, she is amazing the way she is" 

Before I could say anything there was a familiar voice from behind my mother's back.
