Chapter 111

Chapter 0111 “Well, I got work to do. See you kids later!” Mom smiled at us and walked out.

Kristen turned in her seat so she was straddling me. “Going to tell me why you lied?”

“Can’t there be come mystery to our relationship?” I sighed as I stood up. Grabbing her hand, I pulled her with me.

“No, there can’t be.” Pulling her along, we walked up the stairs and to my library.

“Why are you taking me here?” Kris asked. Shutting the door, I locked.

“This is a relaxing room and since I know you won’t just let me handle things, I wanted to tell you in here.” Sitting down on one side of the couch, I patted the other for her to sit.

“I don’t like where this is going.” Kristen sat facing me with one leg on the couch. Her arm was resting on the back of the couch, as her hand propped up her head.

“I don’t either but I told you we are equals and I meant it. For the record, I rather not tell you any of this but that is just because I want you to be happy and not be under any stress.”

“I appreciate that but get talking.” Kristen narrowed her eyes at me.

“You know that Darin has developed some weird attachment to you.” I started. Kristen’s eyes instantly narrowed as I could feel she knew she wasn’t going to like where this was going. “Dad tried calling Alpha Rip to see about smoothing things over.”

“Let me guess, it didn’t work?” Kristen rolled her eyes and looked out the window.

“Exactly. He basically said what happened to Sherry was just boys being boys..” Kristen whipped her head around in shock.

Holding up a finger, I continued. “..he said that you intrigued his son and that there wasn’t any harm to it. He ended it with basically saying, let the best man win.” “You’re joking...” Kristen looked at me appalled.

“Those weren’t the exact words but yeah, that is the jist. He made it sound like Darin will not be respecting the fact that you are my mate but try to win you over himself.”

Kristen jaw had dropped as she just stared at me. Shock, anger and fear invaded my heart from her.”

That’s just crazy.”

“Dad prohibited you from tattooing him. Which, just goes without saying.”

“Obviously.” Kristen’s eyes widened as the sarcasm dripped off her tongue.

糖 BONUS “And you will have a b*dy guard with you at all times.” Kristen opened her mouth to argue but I put my finger against it. “Don’t even try. Colt, your dad... basically everyone is in agreeance with that. I...” I paused as I was trying to find a way to say what I wanted to in an emotional way that made her understand. “I need you to do this. For my sanity. I-I can’t lose you, Kristen. Please don’t fight me on this.” Grabbing her hands, I tried to sound as sincere as I could.

It must have worked as Kristen didn’t respond right away. Instead, her eyes looked down at our hands. She was having an internal battle with herself. I was about to say something when she got up and moved so she was straddling me. With my hands on her hips, she put hers on either side of my face.

“I will only agree to this if it is someone I chose.”

“Love, it will only ever be me or Colt or Jasper. You get the picture. I’m not putting your safety in a random persons hands.”

Cupping the back of her head, I pulled her face down to mine.

Our k*ss was gentle as it was more comforting than anything. Resting her forehead to mine, her eyes were closed as she pulled comfort from our embrace. “I can’t deny that he creeps me out and I don’t like him near me.”

“Let me keep you safe. Don’t leave pack lands without me. No adventures until this is settled, okay?” Kristen moved her head to my shoulder. “Okay.”
