Chapter 214

“Not going to bed?”

“Are you going to be sleeping until they get back?” I asked like it was a st upid question.

“Guess not.” Jasper looked beside me. I stopped the swing and scooted over so he could sit beside me but still not touch me.

“Still nothing from them?” I asked even though I already knew the answer.

“Nope.”

We fell into a comfortable silence as different warriors came up to the porch and sat down. No one was sleeping tonight until the guys came back. However, no one said a word either. We just sat in silence, listening to the frogs croak and the owls hoot.

At one point, I rested my head against the chain and closed my eyes. I started picturing what my tattoo shop would look like once I got it back. To say I missed it was an understatement. That shop meant everything to me. There was a wave of energy as my wolf came back to me. It was weird, like my b*dy woke up. I felt more alive, more energetic and more…

“Kristen.” Jasper pushed my leg, getting my attention.

“What?” I asked opening my eyes instantly.

He nodding towards the road as I started to hear the sounds of engines. My neck cracked a few times as I looked over. Sure enough, our black SUVs slowly made their way to the packhouse. The warriors slowly stood up but it was me who got up and ran to the top of the stairs. As the doors opened and the men started exiting, my eyes scanned for Alec. I couldn’t gage the mood. No one was smiling or crying.

No one seemed to be covered in blood or carrying a b*dy.

Finally, they landed on the most beautiful shade of green I have ever seen. Alec slide out of the passenger side and looked right at me. The relief I felt was consuming. Closing my eyes, I had to take a couple deep breaths to calm my heart. As he walked around the SUV, I ran down the rest of the stairs and into his open arms.

He was holding me tightly. With one arm around my shoulders and the other around my head, he k*ssed me a few times on my forehead before resting his cheek against me. The pressure was painful on my shoulders but I didn’t give a f uck. Feeling the sparks all over my b*dy was taking away all the anxiety ! felt. Even though my arms weren’t around him, they still held on tightly to his shirt. This man was my everything. My rock. My soul.

“Well?” I heard a warrior ask.

“Everything went exactly according to plan. They didn’t expect a thing and it went off without a hitch.”

Alpha Marc said triumphantly.

All the warriors started cheering and howling up at the moon. I was so incredibly thankful for this.”

Jasper.” I heard Alec say.

“All’s good, man.” Jasper walked over and I felt Alec let go of my head and shake Jasper’s hand.

“Thank you.” He said sincerely. I could feel how much he meant it.

“Anytime.” Jasper answered before I heard him start to walk away.

“Jasper?” I peaked out from behind Alec’s arm.

“What?”

“Come to our room.” I said simply without saying what I wanted to. I knew Alec was confused but thankfully he didn’t question it.

Jasper looked at me for a second before nodding. He reached down and took Alec’s bag. Alec’s arm didn’t leave my b*dy as he moved me to his side and followed Jasper. We were the last of the warriors to come inside the packhouse. Everyone was making their way to their rooms but was being rather quiet about it. We didn’t talk either until we were in our bedroom and the door was locked.

“What’s going on?” Alec asked as he went over to the couch and set me down.

“Show him.” I said to Jasper.
