Chapter 0148

“Here! I found these two. I hope they work!” Luna Erin walked up to me and smiled.

“Perfect! These will be great. Our stuff just wouldn’t fit into my backpack alone. I really appreciate this.”

“Anytime dear. I do need to run though.”

“So, do we.” Alec opened the door and basically scooted me out.

“Bye!” I waved at his mom as he nodded and almost mmed the door shut. Our car was already out

front and waiting for us.

As we drove, Alec’s posture became more and more rigid. His knuckles were white on the steering

wheel and he had a look in his eyes at would make people run from him. I, however, found it se xy as

hell. Still, I didn’t ask him why he was so moody. This was more than just beingte, which we weren’t.

Alec pulled

up to the school right at 8:30. Colt was standing by the doors.

“Hey, Ice.” Colt came up to me as we got out and gave me a hug.

“How are you?” I asked.

I

“Been better.” Colt sighed. He put his arm around my shoulders as we walked in.

“Where is Penny?” I asked, quietly.

“Home. I needed to run to the bank and handle a few things.”

That confused me. “That is dad’s job..” We came up to my locker. Unlocking it, I started putting my stuff

in it.

“It’s mine now.” Colt shrugged as him and Alec kept looking around, like they were waiting for

something.

“Why would dad have you do that?” I started pounding it.

“Don’t worry about it.” Colt said aloof.

My locker was finally cleaned out, and I was shutting it when it hit me. “You are taking over the Alpha

role,

aren’t you?”

Colt slowly looked back at me. There was a look in his eyes that reflected the pain he was in. “Getting

there.”

“That means….” I had this sinking feeling that I wasn’t going to like It. Dad’s words echoed in my head

as pieced together everything. “He’s going to ditch An n isn’t he?”

Colt clenched his jaw together as he looked at me. Alec kept looking around but nced at me

asionally. “This isn’t the ce for that conversation.”

“Alec’s right. Lets get your stuff and get out of here.” Colt grabbed my bag and picked it up.

“We need to stop at Emmy’s locker.” I said sullenly.

We walked in quiet until we got there. I’ve known her code for years. It was easy to open her locker and

clean it out. However, pushed into the corner of the door was a picture. It was of all of us from about

three years ago. Colt and I were in the middle. Emmy was on Colt’s other side with Ace standing next

to me and Jacob next to him. We were all smiling. It was a pond day so we were in our bathing suits.

We were carefree and having fun. My eyes went to the bruise on my hip that was ck and blue. A nn

had

pushed me down the stairs the day before so it was still fresh and didn’t have time to heal.

“What’s that?” Colt asked.

“That day at the pond.” I said as I held it out to him.

A sad smile spread across his face as he looked at it. Alec leaned over and nced at it before

returning

to his lookout post. “That was a fun day.” Colt handed me back the picture.

“It was.” Shutting Emmy’s locker, we made our way to the office.

“I ran into Ace’s dad this morning.” Colt said hesitantly..

“Oh?” Not sure I wanted to hear it.
