Chapter 0070

My b*dy started rxing as I felt my eyes go back to normal. “Yeah.” Not sure what to say to that..

“Ready to go home?”

“Yes.” Regardless who was my mate, I’ll never call this ce home, I’ll be packing my bags and never

looking back.

Alec grabbed a tissue from somewhere that I didn’t see and started to clean up my l*p. “It’s fine. Not

deep

enough for it to matter.” I muttered as he was looking at it.

“ALEC! HOLD UP!” Colt yelled as him and Jacob ran up to us.

“I’m so sorry, Kristen.” Colt came up to us. Alec stepped back, allowing Colt to look at my face.

“F UCK!” Jacob yelled. It looked like he was going to punch something.

“I’m fine.” Reaching over, I grabbed Jacobs arm and helped him cool off.

“He was out of line saying that. I’ll tal-”

“You will do no such thing!” I demanded. “That man just lost his son. He is entitled to feel the way he

does. Ace literally jumped in front of a bullet to save me. If it helps for him to get that off his chest then

I’ll survive. Plus, we all know him. In a week, he will call and apologize.

“Ice…” Jacob started.

“No, Jacob. You boys listen. I allowed him to talk to me that way. He’s hurting and I am a big girl. My

heart

will recover. We need toe together as we move forward. Fine a new normal. Who knows who you

guys might mate tomorrow. You have a pack you need to think about. Put your pain to the side and be

the leader they need. Grieve at night but right now, they need to see that you are not wounded. The

pack needs to know that you can protect them, provide for them and still make good judgements. You

need to go back there and keep your head up high. You two are the future of this pack. Emmy and I are

gone. Even if Alec isn’t my mate, I’m packing my bags and I’ll never be back here. You can’t ask me to.

You have everything you need in here.” I put my hand over their hearts. Both of them were looking up

at the sky as I

lectured them.

“I hope whoever I mate will be half the Luna you will be” Colt wrapped his arms around me.

“Ah, Ice. You do have a heart.” Jacob joked as I gave him a hug too. Alec shifted annoyed behind me

but !

ignored him.

“Don’t tell anyone.” I tried to frown but smiled. “I won’t be far. Close enough toe and kick your as s

if

“I believe it.” Jacob started walking away.

“Colt. I love you.”

*S hit, Ice. Did you actually say it first without me forcing you?” He smiled as he hugged me.

“Don’t get used to it.” I didn’t even try to not roll my eyes.

“What about tomorrow?” Colt asked.

“I’m going to get my dresses and take them to Alec’s. We can get ready there ande over together.”

“Dam n, so I won’t be there when you guys find out once and for all?” Colt frowned.

“I’m not avoiding the man for the entire day of my birthday so you can watch us k*ss that evening.”

“It’s a magical moment…” Colt teased.

“I hope whoever you get mated to will kick your as s.” All I could do was shake my head.

“I doubt it.”

Turning to Alec, “I’ll be right back. I’m going to grab my dresses.”

“Okay. Need help?”

I

“I’ll go with her. I’ll need to get mine too then I guess.” Emmy said.

“I will be going with you girls. She might be in a cell but still.” Jasper grumbled. Colt frowned but didn’t

say

anything.

Alec POV

“How is she really?” I was pis sed I had to asked. This bond can hurry the f uck up and snap into ce.

“I don’t know how she is standing.” Colt said in a sullen voice. “Has she even asked about the meeting

yet?”
