"Are you nervous?" I ask Hunter as we drive home. He's quiet and I can feel the powerful energy rolling off of him.

He looks over at me and takes my hand, pulling it to his lips.

"Yes and no. Yes, because I have so much more to lose than I ever did before. And no, because I'm strong, you're strong, and our pack is strong. They will fight for what is right and our friends will come when we call. We just need to hold ... until they get to us if we're outnumbered."

"What do you think Joshua will do when he realizes that Margot is gone?" I ask.

"He'll go hunting for her."

"I told her to come to us," I say, worried that I've brought even more chaos down on us.

"Good. Protecting those who need protection is what we do, right?" he asks me, smiling. I know he's worried, thinking through the possibilities of an attack, how we can make sure we're ready, but he's putting that aside for the moment to make sure that I'm okay.

"How can I help you? I know you won't let me fight and I won't argue on that. I love this pup already and I won't do anything to hurt him. Owen already threatened to kill him..."

The car jerks and Hunter slams on the brakes. "He WHAT?" he snarls and the anger pulsing out of him in the tight confines of the car is stifling.

I look at my mate. Shaw is very close to the surface. I reach out and stroke his face. "He underestimated you, as always," I say calmly. "He assumed someone would kill you, specifically Elias, and then he planned to take me as his mate, kill our son, and put his own pup in me. I told him I'd rip his d**k off if he put it anywhere near me," I say, watching my mate closely.

It's the last part that gets his attention. He blinks and some of the anger dissipates. "You said that?" he asks with a ghost of a smile.

"Of course. No one touches me but you. I'd kill anyone ju trying to touch me, but then he had to go and threaten our son. I knew that you'd come out alive, especially if Elias was the contender to take you out. You're much too smart and too strong to let that old bag kill you," I say proudly.

"Yes, and now he's the one lying dead," Hunter growls, leaning forward and taking my mouth in a possessive kiss. "And you are mine."

"Yes I am. Always and only yours," I tell him. I mean it, but I also know it will help Shaw to calm.

"As soon as our pup is born, I'll be reminding my mate that she's mine," Shaw growls, running his nose over my jaw before pushing Hunter's face against mine, scenting me.
