Chapter Ten: Threats

                           Ailsa pov

Al and his life mate Michelle, invite Shauna and I over to come and see their new pups. It's kind of like a small break of normalcy from all of the crazy things that have been happening. Things have gotten extremely intense between us and Crescent, we've lost more members in unnecessary and certainly unwanted battles. So it's actually a rare occurrence when I can spend time with any of my other Volland members, I'm usually always, so busy with try to settle things.

We stay and have dinner as well. It's definitely bringing back memories. I haven't stayed in a pack house since was a teenager. Alvin has always understood, why I didn't stay at one of the houses and was cool with it. He chose to stay at this specific one because most of his family and their life mates stay there, too.

Al has also been dying to introduce Shauna to Michelle. Its been three months now Al and Shauna have become just as close to each other, as Al and I am. He's our big brother overprotective and everything. He's been the main one working on the research of her family history with a vampire, I've known for years named Logan, just to try and help me keep Shauna safe. As well as trying to help me find out definitively who killed my dad and who wants me dead as well.

While Shauna, Alvin and Michelle played with the babies(which I have to admit I'm loving, she seems like she'd be a great mum) and the other children, I received a text. It was from an anonymous number.

Unknown: You can't stay around her all the time.

All of a sudden I hear, "Hey, what you doing over here all by yourself?", Shauna ask.

I jump because my senses are thrown off by the message. I didn't even hear her coming up behind me, I didn't smell her either. I was so consumed by the message and my emotions. My anger starts to grow, she was just coming to give me a hug, when I get up and shrug her off, I need to think. "Who in the fuck is this and why are the mentioning her specifically now?" I, think. I have to get some fresh air. "I'll be back.", I tell her as I walk towards the door.

I hate to be so cold with her, because I never want to hurt her. I just don't know what I would do if couldn't protect her. I can't lose her, like I lost my father. I loved my dad, but losing her would literally kill me. I couldn't and wouldn't go on without her. If I lost her too, it would be because I failed her just like I did my dad.

I'm just not used to expressing feelings (or even having them) and it's hard to concentrate on protecting her, finding out who wants me dead and trying to do something new, like show affection. I'm not even sure if I even know how to or want to do that on a consistent basis, never had to before.

At times, when I'm not trying to push her away, I can get so wrapped up in being the happiest I've ever been and it's all because of her, I just forget the rest of the world and all the danger that surrounds the both of us and all I see is Shauna. I guess, I've never not wanted her around, in fact I have since day one, even as confused as I am I knew I like her in my life. The question is am I able to open up and completely give myself to her like she deserves and if I do, I don't ever want it to come at the price of her safety.

My thoughts are interrupted when the smell in the air changes. Alvin, Michelle and other members smell it too.

I hear Michelle say, "I'm gonna take the babies upstairs. Come on Shauna." "lets go ladies", she then said to the other mothers.

I look back when I hear Shauna's name. But Shauna didn't move. She is still looking at me. She's now directly into my eyes, she looks sad.

I hear "Come inside" in my head.
