“There, I did it.” Pushing the will away, I felt dirty.
“I have to go but I needed to tell you Alec’s dad wanted you to call him.” Colt stood up as
he gathered his
stuff.
“You think that is a good idea?” Alec asked Colt.
“I think he is ready to apologize and forgive. He needs this last closure. The tree is
planted. I had a plaque made and said it was from you. So, if he thanks you, that is what
happened.”
“Are you okay?” I asked Colt. “You are under a serious amount of stress right now.”
“I am. I just have to make it through this week. With any luck, dad will be able to hang on
a little.” I stood up and gave Colt a long hug. He hugged me back like it might be the last
time he saw me.
“Stay safe. I can’t worry about you too right now.” Colt looked haunted.
“She is.” Alec stood up and pulled me into him. Colt nodded as he turned and left. Burying
my head into
his chest, my heart broke.

“I know.” Alec moved us back to his couch. “You should probably just get this phone call
done and ov
with.”
“You’re right. I should.” Pulling out my cell phone, I hit dial on Ace’s home phone. It rang
twice before
there was an answer.
“Hello?”
“H-hello. This is …”
“Kristen. Thank you for calling.”
“Of course. What can I do for you?” I knew my voice was shaking.
“I wanted to apologize. I appreciate you allowing me to say what I needed to say. Still, I’m
sorry for how I
acted. I know you loved Ace. I wish it was in a different way but the Moon Goddess knows
what is best.
You are a good person and deserve happiness. I hope you found that.” a
“I did.” I said as silent tears ran down my face.
“Good. I appreciate the plaque as well. You will always be like a daughter to me.”
“Thank you.
“Have a good day.” He said before he hung up.
“That went well.” Alec said as I laid back against him.
“Yeah.” My eyes landed on the Will. “I can’t believe what I just read.”
“Me either. Your dad really came through. Making sure you were taken care of.”
“I can’t believe it. I just can’t. I never saw a dime of this money. Everything for the shop I
had to pay back.
Dad got me started and I didn’t make a dime till he was paid off.”
“You learned the value of a dollar. Most alpha females are entitled and think money grows
on trees.”
“That is true.”
“Does this change if you want to travel?” Alec asked.
“I want to see what is in Florida.”
“We can start there.” Alec agreed.
“I would like to go to my mother’s family house too.”
“We can but we need to wait till after saturday. We can’t f uck anything up.

sucked. It
almost two weeks ago and my biggest worry was where I wanted to travel to. Not that I
would give Ai
up for anything but I did have very little headache.
“I’m sure you will be busy with the shop to really pay attention. Before you know it,
saturday will be here.”
“Yup…” I didn’t even have the motivation to do any work today.
“Do you want to watch movies this afternoon?”
“Seriously? You don’t have work to do?” I looked up at him.
“Nothing that can’t wait till tomorrow.” Alec stood up and reached out for my hand. “Come
on. Let’s just
relax and watch a few movies. I have popcorn…”
“What did I do to deserve such a great mate?” It was a rhetorical question but Alec
answered anyway.
“I am pretty good, aren’t I? I guess the Moon Goddess loves you.”
“Anyway…” I gave him a ‘really’ look. “What movie are you picking out?” I asked as we
