Chapter 0166
Alec didn’t move but just stared at me. It was hard to read him as I wasn’t getting much emotions from him. After a minute of just staring at eachother, I just sighed and got back to work. Getting on my hands and knees, I pulled out the instructions and started unwrapping it all. As much as I tried to ignore Alec, he stood there and watched me until finally he walked away. He picked up some rags and started wiping
everything down.
We worked for close to an hour before there was a knock at the front door. I had just finished the one chair before I realized my order was here. Alec had set his stuff down and went to answer it. After signing for it, three men started pulling out different boxes and placing them in the middle of the store. This was
much more than just some ink. After they left, I just looked at everything.
“What did she all buy?” I whispered to myself. Grabbing the scissors, I started opening it all. There was a mirror for the bathroom, a toilet paper holding and other bathroom accessories. There was a book stand for my non-existent portfolio. Penny basically furnished my entire office. While Alec put away the ink, I kept breaking down the boxes and cleaning up. At one point, Alec stepped outside to make a phone call. I
wasn’t sure what to fell towards him but I was started to feel lonely. Like I wanted to make up with him
and get a hug but I was being too stubborn to just make the first move.
Once all the items were opened and the boxes were broken down, I carried them all to the back to put
into recycling. By the time I got back into the store, Colt was standing in the middle of my shop.
“Colt? What are you doing here?” I asked as I glanced at Alec. Neither man gave anything away a
closer. “This isn’t good.”
“Nothing is wrong.” Colt gave me a little smile that did nothing to change how I felt.
“Then why are you here? Is Penny okay?”
“She is fine. I actually sent her to live at our mother’s house. She isn’t permitted to leave and I visit her
when I can. This way, she is out of the packhouse and she isn’t far so my wolf isn’t going crazy.”
I had so many questions but none would actually come out. Instead, I looked at both guys, trying to figure
this out. “I am literally the smartest person I know and I am so confused right now. Someone better start
talking.”
“You’re not okay.” Colt said finally.
My eyes instant went to Alec. “You called my brother because I blew up at you?”
“It isn’t me that you need comfort from right now.” Alec said slightly annoyed and partially accepting
acceptance.
are all official and copies were prepared. Nothing else to do. Now, it’s a waiting game. Until saturday, the only thing we have to look forward to is thursday when we take our tests.” Colt’s arms dropped at he
spoke to me but didn’t make a move to me.
“Penny is safe?” I asked.
“Yes, she is under guard but the house is amazing. I can’t wait for you to see it. It is two stories with a full basement. A little outdated but it’s what we pictured our mom to be like. Remember as kids we would make a pretend mom and design her? Well, that house is what we thought it would be.” Colt gave me a
small smile.
“And dad?”
