“Thank you.” I gave her a smile as they left.
“Come here.” Alec turned in his chair so I could sit down on his lap.
“What if it is about dad?”
“Love, everyone dies at some point. I know you aren’t ready for him to go but look at the
life he is living.
Constantly being with someone like A nn. He put up with her for the sake of being alive for
you and Colt
but now Colt can take over and if he dies, he will be free of her.”
“I wish he would just tie her up somewhere and keep her from showing her face to the
world.”
“She would just command someone to untie her. Until Colt is the Alpha and she doesn’t
have Luna status,
there isn’t much anyone can do.” Alec was trying to show me reason but all I wanted to
hear was her
being locked in a cell.

“Why don’t you work on a drawing till it’s time for Colt to be here?” Alec was suggesting
something to get
my mind off Colt or my dad.
“I’ll try.” Grudging, I got up moved to the couch. Picking up my sketch pad, I started
drawing Alec. Mainly
just his eyes but his whole head was there. Still, I started there. Usually my sketches are in
black and
white but for him, I picked up the green. Alternating between black and green, I was able
to catch the
intenseness of his gaze. However, it wasn’t anger that I was drawing…
I was so engrossed in making sure the shading was correct that I almost missed Alec going
to the door
and opening it. “Colt.” Alec shook his hand.
Relief flooded me. “COLT!” Jumping up, I ran and practically jumped on him. He caught me
but had to
take a few steps back. “I was so worried/
Setting me down, he looked confused. “Why? I told you I would be here.”
“You told me you couldn’t talk to me! You never do that! I thought something happened to
you.” Colt
pushed me back to the couch ad Alec locked the door so we would not be interrupted.
“You got me at a bad time.” Colt looked like he aged twenty years.
“What’s going on?” Colt ignored me and picked up my drawing.
“This is really good.” Alec had sat beside me but was leaning back. Colt handed the
picture to Alec. “Have
“No.” Alec studied it.
“I literally just drew it. Like this last hour.” I watched Alec study my drawing of him. “Do
you like it?”
“I really do. This is amazing work.” Alec handed it back to me.
“Just wait till it’s finished.” Setting it down, I turned to Colt. “So, spill.” My nerves shot up
as Colt dropped
his head. His elbows were resting on his knees as he leaned forward.
“It’s been horrible. An n has switched from you to focusing on Penny now.” Colt didn’t look
up at me.

“Yeah. It’s been horrible. Dad’s threats aren’t working, she things she is untouchable. I
can’t be around
Penny everyday as dad has me doing some things and….” Colt trailed off as he shook his
head.
“Oh Penny and then everything with her father…” Alec leaned forward and placed his
hand on my back. It
was meant to keep my anxiety low, which helped but my guilt was still high.
“Kristen, dad doesn’t have a choice anymore.” Colt’s eyes pleaded with me to understand.
The fact he
even called me Kristen spoke volumes.
“Oh, dad…”
