Chapter 223

Chapter 0223 “Why did he let it get so bad?” He was asking himself more than me. “As f ucked up as this whole situation is, I don’t believe your dad did it with the intention of it going this far.” “What do you mean?” Alec looked down at me. “Alec, you are a solid man. You know right from wrong, you are strong and loyal. You fight for what is right, not what is easy. You are the way you are because of the man that raised you. I don’t believe this all started with the intention of it getting this far. I think your dad got caught up in something and it snowballed. I think he is embarrassed and ashamed of what he has done but doesn’t know how to get out of it. Does he need to step down? Yes. He is wanting so bad for everything to work out that he is blinded to the real threat.” “I hope you are right. I’m telling you now, if we find out what he is hiding is bad….” Alec shook his head like he was struggling to get the words out. “…I’ll challenge him on the spot.” As much as I didn’t want him to do that, I was starting to think that might be the only way to get him to give up control. He was a spiraling man and that is dangerous. “I understand.” We sat there for a little while longer until the sun was high in the sky. “I should check on my men.” Alec noveldrama

sighed. “I am going to go get some lunch around for everyone. I’ll mind-link you when I am done.” Alec stood up and held out his hand for me to take. Accepting it, he pulled me in for a k*ss. “That would be a nice gesture.” “I can’t promise anything fancy as I haven’t been in that kitchen but I’ll do my best.” I promised as we walked out into the sunlight. “It doesn’t have to be anything nice. Just enough to keep us going.” Alec let go of my hand as we had to walk in opposite directions.

“Be safe.” I yelled to him. “You too.” As I walked inside the packhouse, I really hadn’t given it any thought as to the fact that Alpha Marc was still inside. I hadn’t even seen Luna Erin today but that wasn’t completely unusual. Still, not wanting to run into him, I just went straight to the kitchen and closed the door. +15 BONUS Opening the fridge, I started looking at the different options that were available for me to prepare. It must have just got stalked because it was over flowing with ingredients. In the end, I decided to cook some steaks. I’ll be able to slice them and people can decide if you want to put them over a salad, eat a steak plain or put it on a hamburger bun. Pulling out all the steak. My first step was getting the cast iron pan out and season it with oil and salt. Letting that heat up, I pulled the steaks out of the package and patted them dry. After seasoning both sides, I put some butter in the pan and added a steak. Turning on the oven, I set it to keep warm before pulling out the ingredients to make cole slaw. That was pretty basic. Grabbing a large bowl, I emptied the packages and added the sauce before putting it back in the fridge. Moving to the steak, with tongs, I moved the stead so it was searing on all sides before fl*pping it over. I was going for a medium rare. After a steak was done, I wrapped it in foil and put it in the oven. I kept repeating this process and setting the table with different options for them to chose from. I was almost finished when the door opened. “This smells good.” My heart dropped as I turned around. “Alpha Marc…” +15 BONUS
