! Chapter 0605 f “So, that’s the plan? Alec somehow | separate Adalynn from Ann and Anthony and run?” | { “Asfar as I’m aware.” | “At least she will be safe in anything happens to us.” “Colt wrote a Will. If he dies, Alec will take over the pack with my assistance.” “WHAT?” I turned to looked down at her.
She was working on my ass so I almost knocked her down.
“What?” “Colt wants Alec to take over the pack? What about you?” Penny pushed me back around. “Kristen, I'm not an Alpha. I can’t make those kind of decision. Besides, he will only be handling things unti] the boys are old
[enough to take over. I want to focus on ) my projects and raising the boys. Not the stress of running a pack. Of course, I'l still do day to day stuff but what do I know about training a warrior?” | It made sense. “Why do you mean boys?” “Well, Colt doesn’t want to tell the kids what order they were birthed into. He said that drove a wedge between you guys growing up and since we have two boys, he thinks it will be worse. He wants to train both boys to be alphas and see which one is better or just give it to both of them.” “What about Eliana?” “He said she can be part of it but I don’t want to raise her like that if she doesn’t want to. You were forced into it and I want her to have a choice.” Penny sighed like she was exhausted from this conversation. They must have had multiple conversations about this.
| “Everything will work out the way it is \ suppose to.” I told Penny that but it is | something I kept repeating to myself.
f Why this needed to happen, I wasn’t sure but the Moon Goddess must have a | reason.
| “I’m sure it will.” Penny put a little more cream on before she stood up. “All done.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow you just need to stand there for an | hour or so and then we will rinse you | off.” | “Rinse me off... how?” My eyes went to the chemical shower head in the corner.
Nothing about this was good.
“Unless you want to walk to my shower, you are using that.” “Why didn’t we just do this in your room?” Dropping my arms, I just looked around for something to do... or to sit.
“In cases you reacted badly to this, I could rinse you off easily and there is epi in here.” Penny sat down after washing
| her hands and opened a bag of chips.
|) “I really hate you right now.” “The alternative is if you died, I'll take your anger.” Penny gave me a whatever shrugged and popped a chip into her i mouth.
“Who is all going with us?” “No one.” Penny looked me dead in the eye. “You will literally be on your own.
Once you get down there, all you have is Alec, Colt and the scout, whoever that is.” “We leave tonight?” Penny ate another chip and nodded.
“Yup. You will be on the plane tonight.” “Okay, so we are taking a plane.” “A small one and it will be dropping you off about an hour from where you are staying. You will get into a car and travel to that location where you will hide. Not once stepping out until you are told to do
| so by the scout. Can’t risk you being ) seen.” | “Have they found Anthony yet?” “As far as I’m aware... no.” Penny finally | gave me some sympathy. “Ann wanted to | take Adalynn away from you and raise her as her own. Don’t forget Vivian is with them... or should be. Vivian knows Adalynn and they will treat her right. If you find any comfort in that, believe Adalynn isn’t being abused.” Nodding a few times, I tried to make Penny’s words give me comfort. It did a little but until she was in my arms, there wasn’t any calming my heart.
We fell silent as I let my mind work. Alec was showing me more faith by allowing me to handle Ann and I guess Vivian on my own. Though, he might be taking out Vivian just so he could kill someone too.
After all the grief he gave me about being safe and not taking risk, he was literally allowing me to get into a fight. He knew I
| needed this and I wasn’t going to listen ) regardless so might as well give in.
There was enough question in that | thought process that made me know I was going to need to have that conversation with him. All I knew was...
even with Adalynn... Alec wouldn't be far from me. If push came to shove, he better chose her life over mine.
“Okay! It’s time to rinse you!” Penny stood up so quickly that I was caught off guard. My thoughts made me space out and the hour passed so quickly that I didn’t even realize it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Do I look any better?” Penny walked to the shower and turned it on. “We shall see.” “There is only one temperature... isn’t there?” “Yeah and unfortunately that is cold.” Penny motioned for me to go in.
| Fuck me... Okay, it was all or nothing.
) Taking a deep breath, I just jumped in.
| The razer sharp jets of water shooting out | was literal ice as it hit my body. “FUCK!” ! yelled. Jumping from foot to foot, I let | Penny get in there and whip it all off.
| “OKAY!” Penny shut the water off and immediately handed me a towel.
“Fuck..fuck...fuck...” “Are you okay?” Alec asked in the mind- link.
“No! I'm fucking not okay! Fucking cold ass shower!” He didn’t respond but I felt the amusement from him. “Damn, that worked great!” Penny grabbed my arm and twisted me.
Following her gaze, I looked down at my skin. Most of the inflammation had gone and the redness was a darker pink shade.
The scarring was almost complete but
| even that improved. “What was that ) shit?” I “No idea. Something the doc told me to | use.” Penny handed me my clothes.
| “Come on. Get dresses and let’s get you ' packed to leave.” | “About time.”
