Chapter 166

Chapter 0166

Alec didn’t move but just stared at me. It was hard to read him as I wasn’t getting much emotions from

him. After a minute of just staring at eachother, I just sighed and got back to work. Getting on my hands

and knees, I pulled out the instructions and started unwrapping it all. As much as I tried to ignore Alec,

he stood there and watched me until finally he walked away. He picked up some rags and started

wiping

everything down.

We worked for close to an hour before there was a knock at the front door. I had just finished the one

chair before I realized my order was here. Alec had set his stuff down and went to answer it. After

signing for it, three men started pulling out different boxes and cing them in the middle of the store.

This was

much more than just some ink. After they left, I just looked at everything.

“What did she all buy?” I whispered to myself. Grabbing the scissors, I started opening it all. There was

a mirror for the bathroom, a toilet paper holding and other bathroom essories. There was a book

stand for my non-existent portfolio. Penny basically furnished my entire office. While Alec put away the

ink, I kept breaking down the boxes and cleaning up. At one point, Alec stepped outside to make a

phone call. I

wasn’t sure what to fell towards him but I was started to feel lonely. Like I wanted to make up with him

and get a hug but I was being too stubborn to just make the first move.

Once all the items were opened and the boxes were broken down, I carried them all to the back to put

into recycling. By the time I got back into the store, Colt was standing in the middle of my shop.

“Colt? What are you doing here?” I asked as I nced at Alec. Neither man gave anything away a

closer. “This isn’t good.”

“Nothing is wrong.” Colt gave me a little smile that did nothing to change how I felt.

“Then why are you here? Is Penny okay?”

“She is fine. I actually sent her to live at our mother’s house. She isn’t permitted to leave and I visit her

when I can. This way, she is out of the packhouse and she isn’t far so my wolf isn’t going crazy.”

I had so many questions but none would actuallye out. Instead, I looked at both guys, trying to

figure

this out. “I am literally the smartest person I know and I am so confused right now. Someone better

start

talking.”

“You’re not okay.” Colt said finally.

My eyes instant went to Alec. “You called my brother because I blew up at you?”

“It isn’t me that you needfort from right now.” Alec said slightly annoyed and partially epting

eptance.

are all official and copies were prepared. Nothing else to do. Now, it’s a waiting game. Until saturday,

the only thing we have to look forward to is thursday when we take our tests.” Colt’s arms dropped at

he

spoke to me but didn’t make a move to me.

“Penny is safe?” I asked.

“Yes, she is under guard but the house is amazing. I can’t wait for you to see it. It is two stories with a

full basement. A little outdated but it’s what we pictured our mom to be like. Remember as kids we

would make a pretend mom and design her? Well, that house is what we thought it would be.” Colt

gave me a

small smile.

“And dad?”
