Chapter 216

Chapter 0216 “Probably why he was pushing so hard for us to take a vacation and not get involved in his affairs.” I said ignoring his last part. “This whole thing feels off. I don’t think we made the impact we wanted to make.” Alec sighed and sat down beside me. This time, pulling me against him. “Tomorrow we need to look for the third tunnel. They need to be sealed off completely.” “I agree. I have cameras watching in case someone tries to use them.” Alec pulled me onto his lap and stood up. He carried me to our bed and gently put me down before rolling over me to his side. “How do you feel?” “Sore but okay.” I said as I snuggled into his chest. His arms wrapped around me, holding me close to him. It was only then that I fully allowed my b*dy to relax against him. His hand started rubbing my back as I closed my eyes. “Close your eyes. Go to sleep, my love.” Alec whispered in my ear. That was all I needed to give into the darkness. The next morning, I we woke up to his phone vibrating. My entire b*dy was laying on top of him with my head on his chest. His arms were folded behind his head and mine were resting on either side of him. When his phone started ringing, I realized how comfortable this position really was. Alec tried to move as little as possible and looking at the message he got. As much as I didn’t want to move, I sl*pped off of him so he could fully look at it. “Where are you going?” Alec grabbed my thigh with an arm, holding me from getting up.

“Going to pee.” I said looking back at him. He nodded and let me go. My shoulders were feeling so much better. I was able to list them over my head with minor stiffness. I was so happy for my advanced wolf healing abilities. After peeing, I took my shirt off and looked at myself in the mirror. The bruising was still impressive but it was all green and yellow. Some spots even started fading away. Deciding hot water would make my shoulders and my entire b*dy feel better, I got in the shower. It was only a few seconds before I heard

the bathroom door open. “Showering without me?” Alec said. His voice was thick with sleep still. “It was a spare of the moment decision. Figured the hot water would help loosen my muscles.” re aroun Alec sl*pped in behind me, instantly putting his hands on my hips.

I have no idea and I just accepted what he told me.” Alec stood up and started walking around. “I wonder if my dad would know, or Colt.” I said as I looked at Jasper. “Possibly. It could just be that Alpha Marc had bad information.” Jasper played devil’s advocate. “Who all knows about this?” Alec asked. “Just us three.” I said quickly. Alec tossed Jasper his phone. “Where is Emmy?” “She went with the rest of the pack to my dad’s pack. Just in case we were attacked here.” I said quietly. Alec nodded. He was looking behind us with his hands on his hips. I couldn’t tell if he was mad at me or not. “Jasper, why don’t you go to bed. We can pick this up in the morning.” Jasper and I shared a look before he stood up. “Alright.” Alec held out his hand for Jasper to shake before he followed him out. Shutting the door behind him, Alec locked it and rested his head against it. He was trying to control his anger but I couldn’t tell if it was at me or not.

“I’m sorry if I overstepped.” I said quietly after Alec didn’t come back to me. Alec pushed away from the wall and walked up to me. I kept my head held high as I wasn’t sorry I did it.” What if you were caught?” “Then I would push against him like I have done this entire time.” I said simply as Alec sat down on the other side of the couch. He was turned towards me but didn’t try to touch me. “We need to be smart about this moving forward. The fact that you asked that question to dad in our office means he knows we are suspicious of him. If he is hiding anything, he will be more likely to cover his tracts. If you were caught….” Alec shook his head and looked away. +15 BONUSnoveldrama
