Chapter 29 We drive around the training grounds , into town where Ayla can see all the stores , schools etc.
and I fill her in on pack history .
I am careful to leave out the depressing memories and grief that I still carry .
Maybe , once she is a pack member and acclimated , I can fill her in on the rest of it .
Would I tell her about my family if she asks ? Im not sure .
We dive down the main street passing stores when Ayla reaches over excitedly and starts tapping my shoulder .
Did you see somewhere you want to stop ? Are you sure youre up for it ? She points to her braid and then shrugs .
Do you want your hair cut Ayla ? She nods yes and I quickly mind link the shop owner to get her current client wrapped up and to close the store down for little wolf .
Ok , I will take you to get a haircut , but be careful little wolf , I happen to like your beautiful white hair .
She smiles at me and we exit the car .
Good morning alpha .
Who do we have here ? Jelena asks .
A cute shifter , we went out a few times for drinks , but she is too close of friends with Della and I was quickly cockblocked .
Looking at her next to Ayla isnt even a comparison .
Ayla is absolutely gorgeous in every way and Jelena doesnt even come close to her looks wise .

Hi , this is Ayla Frost .
She is a potential new pack member and would like a haircut .
Okay I can do that .
Your hair is so long and pretty .
Do you know how short you want to go ? Ayla looks at me and back at Jelena before taking a seat in the chair in front of the mirror .
Jelena starts removing her braid while Ayla stares at herself in the mirror .
I hope she sees how strong and beautiful she is when she looks at herself .
She starts typing on her phone and holds it up in the air .
You dont want to be able to pull it ? Jelena asks somewhat confused and then glances over at me .
You want me to cut all of this beautiful hair off ? It must have taken you years to grow it this long .
In fact , I will probably have to cut your hair standing up if you decide to keep it long .
Doesnt want to be able to pull it ? The question has me confused and pondering what that could mean .
I look up at Ayla and I can see anxiety in her eyes and I can smell her lavender scent being over powered with a bitter smell of fear .
Ayla starts breathing heavy and is quickly gasping , starting to hyperventilate .
She is entering a full blown panic attack .

I jump up and dart over to her chair .
Ayla , listen to me talk to you , it is okay .
You are here in the midnight pack with me .
You are safe here .
Nobody can get you while you are here .
Nobody can get to you without going through me and that wont be happening .
Lets work on slowing your breathing down .
In through your nose and out through your mouth .
Slow it down for me Ayla , youre going to black out if you dont .
You can do it .
Nobody will place a hand on your head again .
Nobody will be touching your hair without your permission EVER again .
I quickly mind link Eric , informing him of Aylas anxiety and getting a sedative on standby at the clinic just in case .
Ayla starts to nod yes to herself and I can tell she is slowing her respirations down .
Whatever evils that are lurking in your mind , taunting you , ridden by me and replaced with memories of happiness little wolf .

I swear it .
She looks at me in the mirror , and I can see her relaxing .
Her lavender scent getting stronger .
Good girl .
I bend down and place a kiss on the top of her hair .
Whether I am kissing her or her hair goodbye , I dont know , but I am proud will be of her overcoming this fear .
Jelena is darting her eyes between myself and Ayla .
Confusion and shock across her features .
Hopefully , she keeps her mouth shut about this whole incident .
I dont need Della interrogating me about Aylas haircut and kiss .
Okay .
Are we okay to start over again ? Jelena asks and Ayla nods yes and uses her index finger to make an imaginary line across her navel indicating where she would like her hair cut to .
Oh , that is a great choice .
Still long and beautiful , but it wont be as heavy .
Lets get you shampooed up and get started .
