Chapter 0486
Colt POV My office door opened without anyone knocking. “Did you even sleep?” Carson walked in with more energy than | cared for. Everyday that | was away from Penny, my mood reflected that.
“What do you think?” | asked. Truthfully, | don’t think | have slept since she was taken. How many days was that now? Enough that | was starting to question my decisions.
Carson pulled an orange pill bottle from his pocket and gently placed them on my desk. “You are no help to anyone if you don’t sleep. Your judgement is impaired. You will make mistakes. Those mistakes could cost you your life, the life of your men or worse... the life of Penny.” Carson sat down and waited... judging my reaction.
“Where did you get the pills?” | was half amused and half annoyed.
“The doctor. | asked him for something to help you. | knew you weren't going to listen to him. You might listen to Alec. However, | watched you grow. | was an uncle to you as you grew up. On a personal level, | think of you as my son. You're father was one of my best friends growing up. | made him a promise a week before he died and | promised him | would look after you. Be there for you. You have done one hell of a job so far. You need to sleep if you want to be able to get Penny back.” | wasn't fully surprised my dad reached out to him. He wasn’t wrong, he has been like my uncle. Gotbirthday gifts, attended any event | had and even showeda few fighting moves. If dad was going to ask anyone to help that | would listen to, he chose right.

“You think my judgement is being impaired?” | challenged.
“Not yet but it will if you don’t sleep.” He wasn’t blinking as he stared at me. He meant business and his focus wasn't going to shift off of me.
Grabbing the bottle, | slipped it in my pocket. “Is your daughter ready to go?” | was done with the heart to heart.
“She is. | wanted to speak with you alone first.” Carson sighed and relaxed in the arm chair. “She is with Hank at the front door. She is getting stronger but her wolf isn’t back so | don’t know how successful this will be.” “If you taught her the sthings you taught me, she might be able to get us closer.” “Assuming she kept her head on her shoulders. She is very traumatized over the entire thing.” Carson almost aged 40 years in five seconds “She doesn’t have a mate, right?” | was trying to remember but was drawing a blank. | didn’t even recognize her when | saw her because it had been so long.
“Not yet but until she gets her wolf back, she might not ever know.” “Why wouldn't she get her wolf back?” Surely, after healing a little, she would be able to get her wolf back.
“She said her wolf has been gone for a very long time.” Carson sighed as the fax started going off.

Looking at the clock, it was three in the morning. “What the fuck is this?” Reaching over to grab the paper, it tooka second to understand what | was reading. Beforewas multiple children that were kidnapped. sof these for over twenty-five years old. There was pictures of the kids when they were kidnapped and more pages cof what they might look like now.
“Will give these to the guys to study and look into while we are gone.” Sighing, | put them on my desk and stood up. “Ready?” “Ready as I'll ever be.” Carson slapped both hands on his knees before standing up. “If we still have Penny and this wasn’t about my daughter, | would actually be having fun. Sitting in an office gets boring after awhile.” “Can’t say I'm happy to help.” | didn’t even try to hide the sarcasm that laced my voice. Following Carson out of my office, we walked silently down to the foyer.
Carson's daughter, Nora, was like a whole different person than I pulled out of the van. Her hair is dark brown but the bags still hung under her eyes. She needed to gain like twenty pounds but overall, looked better. Color had returned to her cheeks and a spark filled her eyes as we cinto view.
“Alpha Colt. Thank you for saving me. I'm sorry | haven't had a chance to properly thank you before now.” She bowed low before offering her hand.
She was a few years older thanbut I have memories of the three of us playing in the ardwiign WaEwbte yeypagrvl @ol To it over and over sw 3 a again.” Accepting her hand, I tried to f ), put a smile on my face but | don't think it reached my eyes. Please read the original content at english.net.

“This is a long as drive. Why don’t you take a nap?” Carson said low to me.
“What if | don’t wake up when we get there?” “Take half of one. You will be fine.” Carson put the SUV in drive. Grabbing the unopened water bottle from the cup holder, he tossed it on my lap. noveldrama
