Chapter 158

Chapter 0158 “Sunday morning, dad is going to officially step down as Alpha. There will be an immediate ceremony for me to become Alpha and Penny to be Luna. The only people that know about this is us, you and your parents.” Colt said as he looked over at Alec. “As soon as the ceremony is over, he is going to reject A nn and I will be placing her in the cells.” “He won’t survive the night.” My voice was barely a whisper. “He knows that but he won’t let this go on any further. You found your mate and I found mine. Dad hoped this would wait till I was closer to 25 and he saw a grandchild but this is the way this needs to happen. If Penny got pregnant and A nn caused a miscarriage…” Colt’s eyes flashed black before going back normal. This is the only way to stop her. Besides, dad has wanted to get away from A nn for the last 15 years. He stayed to make sure you were okay and had a mate that would take care of you and I was ready to take over for him. His life mission is complete.” Colt rubbed his eyes like he was trying to rub the memory of dad’s words out of his head. As if they haunted him. “Why Sunday?” I asked quietly. “He is going to see the mission gets completed and to see you in your dress one last time.” Colt looked

like he was going to cry but somehow kept the tears from spilling over. “Why am I just now hearing about this?” “Because you are happy. Kristen, you have been miserable your entire life. Even with everything going o you are happy. Dad didn’t want to cause you anymore pain. You are loved here, treated like the princess you are…” I gave Colt a look that earned me a half smile. “… you are happy.” I couldn’t argue with him. Alec has made me the happiest person alive. He is everything I could have noveldrama

asked for in a mate and more. “What does A nn know about Sunday?” “She thinks we are having a family brunch.” Colt sighed and sat back. “We will have a full ceremony and do the whole thing but that will be later. Most important thing is protecting Penny and doing what is best for the pack.” It sounded like Colt was still trying to convince himself of this. “Penny can stay here for the week, I offered. “Thank you but I can’t leave the pack right now and I’m not staying a week away from Penny. Could you stay a week away from Alec?” Colt looked at me skeptically. I didn’t even answer as I sat back into Alec’s arms. He pulled me against him but otherwise didn’t make awkward to sit and talk to Colt. “I don’t even know what to say.” 1/2 “Only Alpha Marc and Luna Erin know. Jasper and Emmy cannot know until after. Only you four are able to be there. Jasper and Emmy will have to stay here.” We sat in silence for a few minutes while our minds went into their own directions. Mine went to the different times growing up that were special to me. Dad pushing me on the swing or buying my first art supplies. He would hang up my pictures to show them off proudly. “Kristen…” Colt pulled me out of my memories. “What?” “After dad… if dad… once I become alpha, all the property and investments become mine. We have to change the name of each one so An n can’t claim anything after. That means your tattoo shop, our bar and all the land.” Colt pulled out a binder that I didn’t even realize he had with him. “This is strictly for Alec’s and your eyes only. Not even Alpha Marc can see this.” Colt looked at Alec for confirmation. “You have my word.” Alec and I sat up but he kept his arm around me. “This is all the information laid out for you. Penny and I have signed them already. There is also a copy

of dad’s will in there. I wish I could give you more time to look this over but I need to get this all to the lawyer to have it notarized so all the paperwork will be in order. This way, An n doesn’t get anything and has no claim to any of it.”
