“Okay. I’ll go check it out.” I said, smiling at her. She nodded and kept on going around
asking if anyone needed drinks. I had to dodge a few kids before I made it to the kitchen.
“…nightmare!” I caught the last part of it.
“What’s wrong?” I asked as I shut the door behind me.
“I don’t think we have enough food for everyone!” Penny looked like she was in tears.
“Okay. What do you have?”
“We have deli meat, some pastas, salads, fruits but I don’t feel like it is enough.” I could
hear the concern on her voice.
“Well, remember those women were starved. They aren’t going to eat a lot. Second, there
are boxes of mac n cheese on the counter over there. Make that for the kids.” I started
looking through the fridge. You have plenty of cheese and tortillas, maybe some people
will want a quesadilla. There are some leftover shredded chicken and steak in here. Plus,
I’ll call Alec and see where they are at. If he is getting ready to head over, I’ll have him
bring some stuff from our house. Okay?”
“Thank you!” Penny looked relieved. The kitchen staff got to work as I took her phone and
walked out to the porch.
It rang three times before he answered. “Alpha Alec.”
“Hey, it’s me.”
“Kristen? What number are you calling me from?”
“Penny’s. I have no idea where my phone is.”
“It’s a gift, really.”

“How soon are you guys coming over?”
“Why? Are you okay?”
“Oh, I’m fine. Happy, really but Penny is freaking out she doesn’t have enough food.”
“Ah, well we were about to head over in a few minutes. I was actually getting ready to
shower.”
“Great. Can you bring over all the deli meat we have and anything that can be served
easily?” I asked, happy that he wouldn’t be much longer.
“Sure. Have you heard anything on Jasper?”
“Yeah. Surgery went good. They brought him over here and Emmy is with him now. I think
he will be just fine.”
“Good.” I heard the shower turn on.
“Hurry over.” I sighed as I sat on the porch swing.
“I will, love. I will.” There will always be this warm fuzzy feeling when he called me love.
“Bye.” I said
“Bye.” Alec hung up and I just rocked back and forth.
“Did you get ahold of him?” Penny said, scaring the life out of me.
“S HIT!” I jumped as she sat down.
“HA! Sorry!” Penny started laughing at me.
“You scared the s hit out of me. Yes, he will be here in about thirty minutes.” Giving her a
little push, she settled down next to me.
“I really am glad you are okay.”
“I’m pretty stubborn that way.” I didn’t want to have a heart felt conversation at this
moment.
“I should thank you, though.” Penny started laughing a little.
“What? Why?” I was confused.
“You got us out of the school testing again. I have been dreading that.”
I couldn’t contain my laughter. “Seriously?”
“Colt has been stressing about that da mn test and everything else.”
“Why is he stressed over a test? He doesn’t actually need to take it. None of us do.”

men gasped in horror as another guy stepped forward and he stepped back.
“We accept full responsibility for failing to protect our Alpha and Lunas. Luna Erin was
found dead, from the loss of her mate.” I
these guys wore a bruise on their face. At first, I thought it was from the battle but now I
think differently. Colt and his warriors stood off to the side.
“We accept full responsibility for our actions and will accept any punishment you deem fit.
We are deeply sorry. Your bravery not only killed Darin and Rip but save multiple people
from a terrible fate.” A third warrior said. Falling back in line, everyone was quiet. Not even
the children were making a sound.
Alec looked up at me. “I can decide their punishment if you prefer.” He said in the mind-
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlink. Taking a deep breath, I walked down the steps and into Alec’s arms.
“Everyone will be punished…” I started. A few of them blinked, waiting for what that
punishment was. After a pause, I kept going. “… but not tonight. Right now I was to
celebrate our victory. I want everyone to come together as one. So many lives were lost
yet so many people got new ones. Tonight we will eat and hold our loved ones. Tomorrow
we will find a new normal. There will be a lot of changes coming. Actions speak louder
than words and we are watching.”
“Dismissed.” Alec shouted before turned and looking at me. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there to
get you.”
“It’s okay. I got myself out of there. Reaching up, I grabbed his shirt and pulled on it. Alec
got the hint and bent down to k*ss me. His
hands grabbed my face and gentle touched my split l*p.
“You are the strongest person I know.” Alec sighed.
“I’m sorry about your mother.” I whispered.
“I felt the bond snap when we were on our way to get you.” Alec closed his eyes for a
second.
“How did you know where to find me?”
Beckham broke through the firewall just after you were taken. It worked perfectly and
there was two numbers that came up the most. Time was not on our side so we separated
into two teams.”
Wrapping my arms around his neck, his wrapped around my waist. “I don’t regret my
decision.”
“I know you don’t.” Alec frowned at me. “You are both irritating and brave.”
