The Boundary Line

Chapter 3

I gulped and looked around. I wasn't surprised as I scanned around to see many emotions and comments coming from the Dark Moon pack, about what they have just witnessed. I looked back to my pack, still aware that Tristan is gawking at me like a trophy.

I glanced at Alpha Mike. He is staring between Tristan and I like he can't believe what is happening, surprise evident on his shocked face. Hell, I can't even believe what is happening either! Turning my head, my gaze locks with Tristan's deep brown depths, I'm suddenly lost again. Its as if Tristan and only Tristan is keeping me planted to this planet. I see so many emotions whirling around in his alluring eyes, but the emotions the stand out most are awe.... and shock? The shock was so strong on his features it was astounding. It slightly confused me.

My thoughts are a jumbled mess as I continued to stare into Tristan's intense dark eyes. I can feel my wolf trying to claw her way out and surface; so she can take control and mark what's ours. Slowly, Tristan rips his lingering eyes away from mine and very slowly takes in everything about me, from head to toe. I shivered as his eyes darkened as they trail down my body.

I thought I could detect a low growl come deep within the Alphas chest in front of me. It didn't go unnoticed as Tristan's dark orbs lingered on my chest longer than usual. I flushed hotly and looked to the ground. "Mate", Tristan whispered so softly, so quietly, I barely heard him. My breath hitched as I heard him say that one word. He was actually admitting it? I was still aware of the awfully quiet crowd surrounding us, watching for what will happen next. What was I going to do?

Not removing his eyes from mine, Tristan hesitantly took a step closer to me; now only standing a meter away. My heart started to speed up even more as he continued to take another step towards me. The electricity that was crackling between us only intensified. What is he doing? My wolf was going crazy as Tristan now stood directly over me.

I suddenly felt small and weak next to Tristan's big imitating frame. I barely reached his shoulders. I now can see why everyone fears this ruthless Alpha. My eyes widened even more, as Tristan slowly lowers his head to the crook of my neck. My heart was pounding in my chest so hard, I'm sure Tristan and everyone else could hear it.

I looked at Tristan to see him staring at the place where I would be marked. Tristan was so close, all I wanted to do was pull him to me and run my hands through his thick silky black hair. Though my wolf wanted to do more. My wolf snarled at me, demanding we close what little space that was left between us. I clenched my hands in fists at my side to prevent me from doing something unwise. I was so close.

I was rooted to the spot as I watched Tristan lower his head even more towards my neck. Tristan then closed his eyes and took a deep breath, breathing in my scent. Desire pooled in me as Tristan didn't hold back the loud, throaty growl that erupted from his broad hard chest. Then without warning, Tristan was suddenly ripped away from me, making me jump in surprise. I blink in shock. Who would dare interrupt an Alpha wolf with their mate? Especially Alpha Tristan? An sudden surge of angriness enveloped me.

I whipped my head around to see the disrupter. I froze as I saw my father glaring daggers at Tristan. Tristan stumbled a bit from being pulled backwards, but quickly recovered. He turned and snarled furiously at my father for interrupting him. I gulped in fear as my dad growled threateningly at Tristan. "Don't touch my daughter".

Wrong choice Dad.

Tristan was in my fathers face in a instant and gripped him by the collar of his shirt. Tristan snarled so loudly and furious, that even I; his mate, step back in fear. All boldness my father had, disappeared as soon as it came, and was replaced by undeniable fear. I quickly glanced at Noah and Alpha Mike for help, but they look just as shocked. "Do not order me", Tristan growled. His face was so close to my dads trembling form, their noses were almost touching.

My father tried talking, but Tristan tightened his hold on my dads shirt. Glancing back to Tristan I noticed he was shaking, and the grip on my father tightening even more. His wolf was close to surfacing. Wasting no time I stepped to Tristan's large shaking form and placed my hand on his hard muscled shoulder. As soon as my hand touched Tristan, I gasped at the sparks and little shocks that ran from my arm and through out my body. My mind clouded over as I felt another surge of lust wash through me. I relished the way Tristans shaking form stop moving completely and freeze at my touch.

I looked down to Tristans hands to still see one of them loosely gripping my fathers shirt. Boldly, I trailed my other hand up and down Tristan's hard muscled back, my other hand still resting on his shoulder. I watched as Tristan shivered at my touch, and turned his head to look at me. His eyes were so black, meaning his wolf was still at the surface. Looking pleadingly into his eyes, still rubbing my hand down his thick solid back, I spoke to him. "Tristan". I watched as he visibly tensed and shivered again as I said his name. It sounded so good to say it, it just rolled off my tongue.

I breathed out a sigh of relief as Tristan dropped his hand from my father, but only to bring them to clenched fists by his side. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath of my scent. Growling softly, he opened them again to revel his normal captivating, now brown eyes. I hear spluttering and coughing on the ground as my father gasped for air. I looked away from Tristan and quickly knelt by my father to help him. "Dad, are you okay?", I asked worried. Dad coughed once more, and then slowly raised to his feet. My dad wasn't as tall as Tristan, Tristan had atleast a few inches on him.

Finally, Alpha Mike choose this moment to step in. "Alpha Tristan, from the purpose of this gathering you wanted to discuss whether any of us or my pack had anything to do with the murder of one of your pack members-" I stared at Alpha Mike in shock as he completely ignored the fact that Tristan and I were mates. "- so with all due respect my pack and I will be on our way, as it takes hours to return home". With that Mike and the rest of my pack followed after him as I still stayed rooted to the ground. I couldn't leave Tristan, he was my mate. 

Tristan snarled at Alpha Mike and grabbed his arm. "You are going nowhere". Even in the most serious times, Tristan's deep silky voice had me going mad. It was so husky and deep. Alpha Mike turned his angry gaze to Tristan."We will be on our way as we have no business what so ever here, and like I told you before my pack is not involved in the crime here."

With that Mike wrenched his arm from Tristan and turned to me. "Come on Lucia", Alpha Mike demanded. I couldn't believe it, Mike didn't even care or acknowledge the fact Tristan and I are mates. I looked back at Tristan to see him already looking at me.

"Go home Lucia-" I shivered as he said my name, it sounded so perfect coming from him. Tristan glanced back to Alpha Mike, "-but don't think this is the last time I'll be seeing you. Next week on full moon I will be coming and properly investing your pack myself -" he shifted his gaze back to me. "-and retrieving what's mine". I gulped at his words. He will come and retrieve me himself. Is he accepting me? I shuffled over to my dad and settled my gaze on Tristan.

Alpha Mike began to talk but Tristan cut him off. "You will have no say in the matter. Next week on Thursday, full moon I will come to your pack and that's final." With one last lingering gaze on Alpha Mike, Tristan looked back to me. "And you Lucia...I'll look forward to seeing you again".
