Chapter 39

Chapter 0039 Unlocking my shop, I was able to turn the lights on and set my stuff down. Grabbing the journal, I found some good entries.

Nothing too bad but enough to blackmail her. I was making copies when the bell rang that someone opened my door.

“Hello? I’m not open right now!” I yelled.

No answer. I felt the presence of someone in my shop. My internal bells were going off. “Colt, get the guys and get to my shop. Something is wrong.” I mind linked Colt.

“What’s happening?”

I didn’t answer, instead, I kept the link open as I walked out from behind the wall. “Can I help you?” I asked, firmly.

There was three men standing in my shop. They all gave off authority and danger vibes. Unlike Alec, they looked scary and dangerous as f uck. Hair in a bun, neck and face tattoos and piercings. Everything in me told me to keep my distance. I was no match for three massive guys. They stood over 6’5 and muscular.

Not b*dy builder style but that didn’t fool me, “We hear you are the place to go for a tattoo.” His voice was like ice running through my veins. My first though was, where is Alec when I needed him.

“I don’t believe I got your name.” I stated as I kept my back straight.

“Forgive me, beautiful. My name is Darin. This is Steven and Cash. Perhaps you heard of us?” “Holy f ucking s hit.” Colt cussed in my head. “I’m coming!” “Can’t say I have.” I told them as I didn’t move. Something moved in the back of his eyes. Anger? “Let me properly introduce myself to you, Miss Kristen. My name is Darin Knight of the Midnight River Pack. This is my future beta, (Steven nodded) and gam ma, ( Cash nodded).” Holy s hit was right. They don’t play nice with others. Everything in me told me to run away. “I assume you want a tattoo?” I sk ip ped the pleasantries. “Come on now! I wouldn’t want to have a miscommunication and think you aren’t being friendly. My father, Alpha Rip would appreciate that from the daughter of Alpha Brian.” Steven and Cash shared smirks as they shifted in their spots.

“I don’t my father would be too happy to hear what’s going on here without his approval. This shop is his territory and I don’t believe you were invited in.”

It was the only other thing I could think of to try to get them to back down. “You are a feisty one.” He took a few steps closer to me. His eyes never left mine as he got closer and closer to me.

Standing inches in front of me, his hand moved the hair off my neck and his face moved down so he was whispering in my ear. “I like you.”

“Step away from my sister.” Colt’s voice was think with authority. I was proud of myself for keeping my head up but I was shaking internally.

Darin just laughed as he took a deep breath before he stood up. “I assume you are Colt.” He stood at his full height and turned. He was taller than Colt as I underestimated their height.

Ace and I took a few steps away from Darin and looked over at Colt. He brought everyone. Not Jacob but Alec and Jasper. All of them looking rather pi ssed off. I found myself looking between Alec and Darin.

“I am and you are very much aware of the rules you are breaking right now.”

“Don’t get your panties in a twist. I was just here to introduce myself to this beautiful woman. I wante seek her services” The way it said it made it sound dirty. Almost S**ual by the twi nkle in his eyes.

“Her books are full” Colt continued.

“We were not told you were back in town.” Alec spoke up.

“And you are...?” Darin rocked back and forth on his feet.

“Alec, son of Alpha Mark of the Blue Fang pack.”

“Great, able to meet everyone. Since we all share the same cities, I was hoping to meet up.”
