Chapter 0061 “Ice, it’s Ace’s dad. He went f ucking crazy. They had to sedate him. He’s blaming you for not picking him.

over Alec.”

“There is no reason to tell her this now! This could have waited till later. What do you expect her to do?” Jasper was strangely on my side. Giving him a weird look, I crossed my arms over my chest.

“I don’t know. This whole thing is f ucked up. My brother died. I just...” Jacob was lost.

“Sit down.” I said to Jacob. He listened instantly as out his head in his hands. “I don’t blame him for his reaction. He just lost a son. His only son. I would had been surprised if he took it well. Ace died a hero and will be honored as such. I feel your pain. He was my brother too. He was part of us and will always be part of us. It would be a disgrace to his memory if we fell apart and didn’t seek out who killed him. We will figure this out and get our revenge but you need to keep your head in the game. We can’t afford to lose you too.”

“I know your right but dam n.” Jacob was lost.

“I know. My eyes hurt and dried out as I can’t cry anymore. We will keep him with us.” I saw Colt running down the hall. He sighed as he realized he was too late.

“Sis, why are you out of bed?”

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have come.” Jacob stood up.

“You can always come to me. Jacob, just keep on pushing. For Ace.” He nodded as he turned to walk back.

“You okay?” Colt asked.

“Sore but good.” Colt nodded as he took off after Jacob.

I had just opened the door when Jasper talked. “Kris, I’m sorry.”

“Save it. Not in the mood.” I noticed the bruising on his cheek. “Colt?” “Yeah.” “You’re lucky that’s all you got.” I said before going back inside. “What’s going on?” Alec asked. “Jacob said Ace’s dad needed sedated.” “Come here.” Alec opened his arm for me.

Inching my way over, I crawled up next to him. “What do you want to do to honor Ace?” “What do you mean?” His question threw me. “Do you want a certain tree? A ceremony?” “Oh um, I’m not sure.” I guess I don’t know what I wanted. Resting my head against his shoulder, Alec held my thigh.

“Just let me know and we will do that.” Alec k*ssed the top of my head.

“What changed? Why are you acting like this? Last night you were upset when Emmy said he loved me.”

“Colt and I talked.”

“Oh.” Dam n him. “What else did you talk about?”

“Nothing really.”

“That’s a lie but whatever. I just want to go home and shower.”

“Which home is that? Mine or your old pack?”

My first thought was with Alec but his question was as right. “I guess your home isn’t mine.”

“But it is.”

“Maybe on Friday but right now, I’m just a guest.”

“You’re coming home with me. End of story.”

“I wasn’t arguing.” Sipped off the bed, Alec pressed the call button. Getting his stuff, he put his sweats on that his dad brought him.

“What do you need?” A nurse came in.

“We are leaving.” Alec muttered.

“Any chance you can wait a few more hours?”

“No.” Alec said as he pulled his gown off. He kept his sling on.

“Alright. Sign these.” The nurse handed him paperwork. “Call if you need anything.” She sighed and left.

“What’s up?” Jacob popper his head in. 2 “We are leaving.” Alec pushed the wheel chair over to me. “Sit.”

I was too sore to argue Sitting down, Jasper took over pushing as we walked out of the hospital. It was still early morning. The car wasn’t far away so we got in okay. Alec sat in the back with me as Jasper drove. Leaning on him for support, I found my eyes falling.

“She’s sleeping.” Jasper whispered.

“Good.” Alec sighed.

“I told her I was sorry and she didn’t want to hear it.”
