Chapter 0564
«Alec thinks I am pushing him away because I didn’t hold his hand on the way over here.” I knew I sounded like a brat but I didn’t care.
“Just because it is easier to push your anger off to him doesn’t mean it’s okay and when did this problem start up again? I thought you were past that?” Colt looked down at me and frowned.
«you are taking his side? Tam you twin!” “Listen, I know working through your emotions is new for you but here is a piece of advice for you.
Emotional people can’t make rational decisions. Mates are here to protect
you physically and emotionally as well as mentally. Let Alec help you work through this shit so you can focus and make the right decisions when it comes to getting back at them. I need your brain and having an overly emotional sister is only going to make mistakes. Pull your head out of your ass and just do it.” I was a little put off from his tone. He usually had a softer tone when dealing with me but he wasn’t wrong.
Thankfully, the warrior finished putting out what little bit of fire was left and Colt walked off to check it out.
We stood by for awhile to watch everyone work. Alec didn’t try to touch me but he did stay close to me. Since I was still feeling a little resentment, I just stood around. With this boot, 1
couldn’t walk over to where the office was or even see if I could find anything.
1 The longer I stood there, the more I craved revenge. Gunther and Zac better come through or I might just end them myself. I wanted termites planted on their house. Beg bugs needed to be freed. I wanted them to suffer, not kill innocent people. Still, it dawned on me that we might still have allies within his pack that were forced to work with him.
“Colt?” I said quietly. I knew he would hear me so there wasn’t any point in shouting.
yeah?” He answered without looking at me. He was standing with his warrior, looking at something in the ashes.
“pon’t you still have a friend that is a warrior for Anthony?” As hard as | tried to wrack my brain for his name; 1 was coming up short.
Colt looked over at me and squinted his eyes. “Yeeeeeah. Nox?” «yeah. Would he approve of all this or would he want to help us?” I watched as Colt processed this information. “I'll figure it out.” He said before he went back to his warrior.
«Let me know. We are going to head home.” I was done looking at ash.
«Drive safe.” Colt looked over at us and nodded before turning back around.
He seemed a little put off still since he didn’t come give me a hug but he was
looking at his club in ashes. Walking back to the car, my mind kept thinking of all the ways 1 could repay them.
Maybe put crickets in the packhouse or mice. “What are you thinking about?” Alec asked after we got on the road.
“What?” He caught me off guard. Twas picturing Ann screaming from some mice and wasn’t paying attention to what was around me.
“What are you thinking about?” Alec repeated.
“How to get backat Ann.” “What are your ideas?” 1 could see he was trying to have a conversation that wasn’t us arguing but it felt good to talk to him again.
“rermites, bed bugs, mice or crickets.”noveldrama
Alec seemed surprised. “IT haven't even thought about those things.” «What were you thinking about?” Looking over, he had both hands on the wheel as he scanned the freshly fallen snow.
“Rogue attacks, small explosions. Not enough to kill anyone but enough to keep them busy.” «Lets do it all.” Looking back out the window, I was justin a weird mood. “I just want to repay Ann back. Since we don’t know what she is after, I just want to drive her crazy.” “What do you think Nox is going to do?” “No idea. I just remembered Colt had a friend growing up and his mom had
mated with someone from Anthony’ pack and so they moved. His biological dad died in a battle. Maybe he would be able to provide us with some inside information that could help us.” “If we are going to follow Gunther and do our own thing, we will need to figure out what we are going to do with Adalynn and I don’t want to be gone for more than a few days ata time.” “1 agree. I don’t want to be gone from Adalynn that long. Just long enough to make sure Gunther and Zac are doing what they should be doing.” “That’s fair.” “where would they even start?” asked, unsure of how things go.
“phere is that part of town where all
the illegal activities goes on. We should probably start there and see how things go.” «1 don’t see people wanting to help us after what we just did.” Thad a bad feeling about it.
«I disagree. I think they will want to put their own revenge on someone and we are giving them a free out. I'm guessing they will be more than happy to help us out.” Alec looked over at me and smile.
«But what what cost to us?”
