After ensuring that Marie was settled in her room and resting, Jacob returned downstairs to confront Blake. The tension in the room flared once again, and their emotions boiled over.
"I want you out of this house right now. I want you no where near my mate" Jacob growled.
Blake rose from the position on the floor he has been frozen in. Anger bubbling and his fists clenched at his side.
"Your mate!!!" he growled "You rejected your mate. She is mine!"
"She was yours, now she is back where she rightfully belongs Blake"
Blake laughed in Jacob's face, His wolf pushing to come froward.
"Where she rightfully belongs? Really Jacob. is this really where she belongs?. Packless, in a human world"
"She is not packless. she is a member of the Dark Moon pack. Her rightful home and where she is the true Luna"
Blake growled at the word Luna. She was meant to be his Luna. He stepped forward so he was inches away from Jacob. Alpha powers swirling the room. "I don't know what you have done to her, but i swear i will find out and she will come back to me"
"And i am telling you Blake, Stay away from my mate. I did nothing to her. I came here to apologise for what i did to her back in the past and when i was last here. I also came to tell her what i had discovered through my vampire research. I never came here with a plan to make her mine"
Blake growled, he didn't want to hear any more but Jacob continued.
"The moon goddess took your bond and gave it back to me, as she knows I am where she belongs. I am now the Alpha of the pack. The mate my father made me take and mark is dead. the moment she died by my hand, The mark on my neck disappeared, making room for the rightful mark that should have been there from the beginning. So for the last time Blake. I am sorry this happened but I have been given a second chance at having my true mate and i will not loose her, so leave!!!"
Blakes wolf flashed his eyes, making his presence known. "She will never be yours. I am going to kill you"
In a moment of intense rage and desperation, Blake's inner wolf took over, his eyes flashing with the primal, feral instincts of his Lycan nature. He launched himself at Jacob, driven by a deep, uncontrollable desire to protect what he saw as rightfully his - Marie.
The room erupted in chaos as the two men clashed, snarling and growling, teeth bared and claws unsheathed. Jacob was stronger than Blake anticipated. Both men did not shift fully knowing they could not do so in the human town.
Michael and Steve tried to pull the two men apart, but they were too strong for the men. The fighting rumbled on. With each taking chunks of skin from the other. Blood covering their bodies.
As the ferocious battle between the two men raged on, Marie stirred on the bed. The pain she was feeling early gone. The tumultuous noise downstairs reached her ears. Fear and concern bubbled up into her chest. The mate bond was pulling at Marie to go and be with Jacob. The fear for his safety compelled her to rush down the stairs, desperate to intervene and put an end to the violence.
As she reached the door to the lounge her eyes fell upon the chaos. Her house destroyed once again, blood everywhere. "Stop, Please" she shouted as she rushed forward.
However, in the midst of the chaos, her actions went unnoticed by the battling wolves. She reached out and grabbed what she thought was Blake's arm in an attempt to stop him, her voice raised in a plea for them to cease their fighting.
"Please, Please stop"
But in the frenzy of the moment, Blake, lost in his wolf form and unable to distinguish her from Steve, pushed her back with force. The unexpected shove sent Marie sprawling, and she hit her head hard, the impact causing a gash to open, blood pouring from the wound.
The room fell into a stunned silence as everyone present realized the gravity of the situation. Marie lay injured and bleeding.
In the chaotic aftermath of the incident, Jacob rushed to Marie's side. he slid in behind her sitting her up against his chest. His concern evident in his eyes as he watched Dr. Michael attend to her wound and try to stop the bleeding. Steve also rushed to Marie side checking she was ok.
Blake initially frozen on the spot, in horror. rushed forward uttering apology after apology trying to get to Marie. He wanted her to know he did mean to hurt her. He dropped on his knee's in front of Marie. Tears filling his eyes and pain his heart as he saw Marie holding Jacobs hand. his hands reached out touch her but he was met with a low growl from Jacob.
"Don't you dare touch her. You have done enough" Jacob spat.
Blake's arms fell to the ground.
"Please Marie, I didn't know it was you, I am sorry. you know I would never hurt you" Blake begged.
"Get out now Blake" Jacob shouted for Blake to leave. Steve, determined to protect his friend and help him regain his composure, forcibly dragged Blake away from the house. Blake did not put up a fight, he allowed himself to be dragged away from Marie. Steve reached the car, helped Blake into the back before jumping into the drivers seat and speeding away from the house.
