Chapter 145

Chapter 0145 “I believe you, Penny. You need to understand what this means though and you can’t be upset with Colt. This needed to happen so we could clear your name.”

She looked up at Colt and then back at me. “I know, I just feel guilty and ashamed.”

“Things will probably get harder as this goes on but trust in Colt to lead you the right way.” Placing my hand on her knee, I watched tears fall silently down her cheeks. Standing up, I moved back to stand directly in front of Alec. Pushing my back against his so I had that contact. His hand rested on my shoulders.

“It’s safe to say that we will be looking into her family. This said Atwater so that is where we will start.”

Alpha Marc sighed as he sat down.

“Agreed. Let us know when you do.” Dad signaled for his party to leave. Penny stood up and sl*pped her hand in Colt’s as they walked out. Colt nodded to me but he was having a hard time right now. Guilt and confusion covered his face and nothing I could say would fix it. Only time would tell.

“What is the plan for this week?” Alpha Marc asked us.

“Kristen?” Alec looked down at me.

I “I guess I need to go to school to get my stuff then we can come home. It will be safer this way and we can take all of our exams here.” I sighed as I hated being forced to do this. If I wanted to take my exams this way, I would have ski pped school all together.

“That is a smart decision.” Alpha Marc sat down. He dismissed us that way, which just annoyed me but it wasn’t a hill I was ready to die on. Walking out, Jasper caught up with us.

“What are you guys supper plans?”

“I don’t think we have any...” I looked up at Alec for confirmation.

“Nope, why? Have something in mind?”

“Movie night?”

“We can do that.” Alec looked at me and I nodded.

“Why don’t you get something from the kitchen and meet us in our room?” I asked Jasper.

“Sure. Emmy will be happy.”

“Good.” I nodded as Jasper turned and walked away. Following Alec, we made our way to our room.

“Did you ever decide if you wanted to make any changes to our room?” Alec asked me as he sl*ppes off his shirt.

“I mean...like what?” Looking around, all my possessions sat on my night stand. Alec nad the picture of us from my birthday framed and put above our bed but otherwise, it was exactly as I found t “Different colors? New bedding? Paint?” Alec tossed out a few ideas at me. “You chose sage green for your shop. A full 180 from what I have this at.”

“Well, that was the vibe I wanted in my shop. Not for my bedroom.”

“Your bedroom was very bare at your old pack.” Alec said as I went into the closet and pulled out a my favorite silk pajama sets.

I started changing in the closet. “I knew I wasn’t going to be living there so I didn’t care to change anything.” I yelled out.

“Well, now you can. What do you want to do differently?” Alec walked into the closet and leaned against the door frame.

“I like black and red.” I shrugged.

I “Come on, there isn’t anything you want to do differently?” Alec pushed, thinking I was holding out.

Walking out into the bedroom, I started looking around. “I’m serious, Alec. I love the silk sheets. If you haven’t noticed, I like my silk pajamas. We could upgrade the couch and chairs. They are pretty worn and I like the deeper couches. I’m not a huge fan of white and the red really balances out everything. We could put a few more pictures on the walls...”
