I went back down and the Easton pack was ready, I saw Evan and went to him. My pack was turning up. I did not know all their names, but I knew some nice ones who came over on Sundays and some days in the week to be together. Evan smiled and hugged me in his arms.
“This is not going to be too bad is it?” I asked.
“It will be fine. They are not staying here permanently. They will have to go back to their territory soon; they just needed to get stronger to go back. Plus this is an amazing opportunity for some to meet their mates.” He said. I could feel he was smiling. My head buried in his chest. “Let’s go out. There should be some of the pack here already.” He said.
The night was good. I had fun meeting people my age and some of Evan’s and Edwin’ friends. Some of my pack did meet their mates. It was nice to see and be around. Everyone was smiling. My mates parents were here and I was happy.
Edwin held my hands gently in his. We had already eaten the food. The BBQ was done by the men, and other foods like salads were already prepared by the women.
“Hello, Edwin and Lia. It’s a beautiful evening isn’t it.” I looked up, moving my head from Edwin shoulder. I suppressed a groan.
“Indeed it is. How are you? Found your mate?” I asked her. Diana.
“Yes, I did.” She said. I smiled once again. “he is everything I thought he would be.” She said with a strong smell of alcohol.
“That’s good to hear.” I went back to rest my head on my mates shoulder.
“Yeah, I just wanted to apologise. You know, about Ruth. She came to me again, but I told her to leave me alone. I understand why you had to come here and steal my first mates though. That woman is something else. It’s really hard to get rid of her. All she wanted to do is talk about how you messed up her life. Don’t worry, I think she got the message and would leave me alone now. Well she did want something first before she did. I gave it to her, and she kept to her word. Anyway, watch your back. She may have given up on me, but she wants something from you.” She finished rambling.
Evan and Edwin stood up. I was still frozen. She has put me in danger once again. And called Edwin and come her mates. Damn I want to slap this girl. But I had self control. She was obviously drunk. Someone took her away, I was still frozen.
I am not scared of her.
Evan and Edwin excused themselves and me. They walked me inside and went we were out of view, they hugged me.
“When will she leave me alone? I am tired of living in fear. She is not going to hurt my baby. I won’t let her. “
“someone is talking to Diana to see what she said to Ruth. We will find her. Go to your private room and we will finish everything here. “Edwin said. I felt tired and I walked to the room I was in earlier.
I sat on the couch, tired. I heard laughing behind me. A came from her hiding place. She had blonde hair which was obviously dye.
“Are you lost. I thought your pack told you the ground rules. You are not supposed to be in here.” I said with a strong voice. She came to face me.
“Oh sorry, I did not realise.” She said. I realised the voice. She saw recognition on my face and she threw her head back laughing. “Had sweet dreams?” she asked. She knew I saw her and the man.
He came out of the room. He looked scary. I kept my face strong though my body was shaking In fear.
“Hello, Lia.” He said. His voice made me shiver.
I reached out for my mate’s link, sending them my fear and fright. They sent me comfort and strength.
“Why won’t you just let me be? You followed me here to my home, what do you want?” I asked stalling them.
“Well, you’ve done nothing but cause me trouble. I kept you and you turned on me. I hate you. I thought your father loved me, but he had your mother. I wanted to give you love. And I did. But you reminded me of the love I would never had. My mate is gone, and I always though Harry would come back to me. He never, I ran away with you. Don’t worry. I forgive you. But you still need to die.” She said.
The big man with a scar on his face came behind me and held me down. I began thrashing. My baby! He held me down, strong and firm. I was on my back. Ruth bend town to my level. I did not scream, but I could not stop thrashing. I don’t know if my eyes betrayed my fear. She brushed my hair out of my eyes. I saw the woman she was when she took care of me. She pulled out a needle and gave me a sadistic smile. She injected some of the contents, I stopped thrashing. I heard shouting and two gunshots.
The injection wiped me out. I was being pulled into my mate’s chest.
“Stay awake.” He commanded me. I could not. Whatever Sara gave me, it was going into my bloodstream, fast.
“My babies.” Was the last thing I said.
It was not the first time that darkness swallowed me.
