Chapter 0149
“They are burying the tree today.” My heart hurt that I couldn’t be there but I understood.
“Where at?”
“He wanted it out on top of the hill that overlooks our territory.
“That would be a perfect place for it.”
“He told me to tell you that he forgives you. I assume he will be calling soon.” Colt gave
me a half smile as I immediately stopped waWe were in front of the office.
“What?” Tears threatened to expose themselves but I pushed them down.
“Well, isn’t this nice.” A voice I hoped I’d never hear pulled me away from Colt. The office
door had
opened and Darin stepped out.
“Darin.” Colt said, firmly.
“I was hoping to run into you today.” He was looking at me. Alec moved closer to me,
blocking Darin from
advancing.
“We were just leaving.” I said.
“What’s the rush?”
I “You need to get to class and I have a very busy schedule today. If you would excuse us.”
I said as I walked around Colt and into the office. No one followed me in here so I was able
to breath a little.
“Ms. Kristen. How can I help you today?” The secretary smiled warmly at me. She was an
older lady with grey hair and glasses that landed on the tip of her nose.
“We are needing to do our exams remotely. I was just wanting to inform you all so they
can get sent over to us via email and we will take them tomorrow.”
“That can be arranged. Who is all needing it?” She pulled out a piece of paper.
“Alec, Emmy, Jasper and myself. I’m not sure what my brother is doing. I believe he is
doing the same as is Penny and Jacob.”
“Okay, I’ll send them all. Anything else?”
“I believe that is it. I’ve cleaned out our lockers and we will still walk as of right now. I’ve
turned in ali my
extra work so that is done.”
“Actually, they might want a teacher to come and watch everyone take the test.” The
secretary looked concerned as she glanced over at the principles door.
“If that is the case, that is fine. Just let me know and I will organize a time that works for
everyone.” That really wasn’t a big deal.
“Thank you for understanding.” She was clearly relieved.
“Of course. Have a great day.” I said as I walked out of the office and back to the three
guys.
“Are you done?” Alec asked without taking his eyes off Darin.
“I am, can we leave now?” I asked.
“Yes, let’s go.” Colt answered and took my arm a little more forcefully than needed.
“I’ll be in touch.” Darin smiled at me before turning and walking down the hall as the guys
flanked me
Alec was pis sed and I could tell Colt was just has mad. They walked with a purpose that
forced me to

As we got to our cars, they started to relax. “Colt, we need to talk.” I said giving him a
look.
“I know, I have a few things I need to do and then I can swing by?” He looked at Alec for
confirmation.
“We have a meeting at 3pm. Otherwise, we are flexible.” Alec was trying to relax himself.
“Okay, I’ll call when I am ready. It might be later this afternoon or evening but I’ll swing by
to talk.” Colt
looked me in the eyes and made me a silent promise.
“Okay.” Colt k*ssed my forehead before shaking Alec’s hand and walking to his car. Alec
held the door open for me and we got in. Right as Alec pulled out, I saw Darin, looking at
me through a window. It gave me the chills but thankfully Alec quickly got out of there.
Needing
ng some comfort, I put my hand on Alec’s thigh. The physical contact was enough to help
me calm, my nerves. To my surprise, Alec let go of the steering wheel and wrapped his
hand around mine. Moving our hands over to my lap, he placed his hand between my
thighs.
