Chapter 220

Chapter 0220 +15 BONUS “Jasper, be ready.” I whispered. That seemed to register with the men and they all became in a defensive stand.

Alec took the phone and I watched his eyes shift to black quickly. Taking back Jasper’s phone and tossing it to him, I tried to keep Alec focused.

“Alec! Look at me!” I grabbed his shoulder and shook him but he wasn’t really paying attention to me.

“Luna! Get back!” I heard a few men yell.

SLAP! My hand made contact with Alec’s face hard enough that he took a few steps back. It sent a jolt of pain through my arm but it wasn’t terrible. It did make me wince and drop my shoulder.

His eyes snapped to mine. It took him a second to register my pain but when he did, I saw him fight back control over his wolf.

Alec closed his eyes and I felt someone grabbed my arms and pull me back.

Alec snapped his eyes open and glared at the warrior. “Don’t f ucking touch her.” He said in a low warning growl.

“Alec!” I stomped my foot to get his attention. “Calm down!”

“THIS IS SO F UCKED UP! I’LL KILL HIM!” Alec roared.

“No you won’t!” I walked over to him and grabbed his arm. He didn’t push me away but he stiffened up. We need to be smart about this. We don’t know the full picture and we don’t know what is going on.”

“We are talking about your life here!” Alec yelled at me as he too a few steps back. “You could have died and still are in imminent danger! Kristen, they f ucking kidnapped you, touched you and beat you up! What did we do to retaliate? Blow up a f ucking useless building! Now this!”

“I am very well aware of what happened to me. We have to be smart here. I am for killing them but we aren’t going to bust down their door. Don’t forget you have also been shot and they kill Ace. This is bigger than just me. Rip is planning something and we need to be prepared. Alpha Marc isn’t handling this. It’s time you put your foot down and do something about it.” I could feel my own wolf showing.

All the men around me nodded in agreement. “Luna’s right!” I heard one of them say.

“We need to start with finding this third tunnel. Everyone spread out and get looking!” I yelled as I looked at Alec. He was staring at me, trying to control is breathing.

“Jasper, text Alec that pictures” I mind-linked him.

+15 BONUS “Jasper.” Alec said after a few moments. “Kristen and I need to have a word with my father. Keep me updated on their progress.”

“Got it.” Jasper said a little too chipper before we started walking back to the pack house.

Only when we were out of ear shot of the men, did Alec talk to me. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine.” I said without looking at him.

“It’s not.” Alec grabbed my waist and forced me to turn and look at him. “Kristen, I’m sorry.”

“Sorry for what?” I asked, shifting my weight, I crossed my arms and looked at him.

“Sorry my dad didn’t avenge you. Sorry I lost my temper back there. Sorry we are even in this mess.” Alec just shook his head.

“We are in this together. We don’t focus on the past. We are looking at our future and protecting it. Right now, that starts with your dad.”

As soon as I said those words, Alec’s eyes shifted to black for a second before going back to his beautiful green. “Come on.” He took my hand as we walked back to Alpha Marc’s office.
