Chapter 0266
“It’s really a gift.” I laughed.
“Kris? Alec? We can’t eat without you guys.” Penny popped her head out from the packhouse door.
“Coming.” I yelled as Alec let me go and was walked hand in hand. Everyone was seated at a table and a beautiful array of food was lined against the far wall. As we took our seat, Alec stayed standing.
“A few quick announcements before we begin. Firstly, from my pack. is welcome to return to your houses. Everyone from Midnight River pack will stay here for tonight and tomorrow there will be direction on what moving forward will look like. There is much sensitive information that needs to get sorted before any announcement is made. I would like to thank everyone from the Blue Fang pack for their hospitality and kindness that has been shown these last few days.” The entire room erupted in clapping. Penny was blushing and Colt just raised his hand but was smiling.
Alec sat down and Penny stood up. “Each table was given a number. That is the order in which you came go up and get food.”
Seeing that we were table one, we all got up and made our way through the line. When we were half way done, the next table went. Everyone was acting respectful to everyone and talking quietly. I knew everyone was talking at our table but I was just looking at everyone. Our parents were gone and now it was literally up to us to keep them safe and alive.
“Ice?” There was a push against my arm, pulling my attention back to the group.
“What?” I looked over at Colt, Penny, Emmy, Jacob, Sherry and Alec all looking at me.
“Where did you go?” Colt asked.
“The threat is gone. I can open my shop again. We can open the club again. People can go shopping and go back to being happy. We are in charge of everyone now. I’m safe. Everyone is safe.” I’ve repeated that in my head multiple times today but this was the first time I said it out loud.
Alec put his arm around me and pulled me close to him. Kissing my temple, he scooted us together so I was against him. “That’s right. I believe your shop is ready to go. Do you want to have a grand opening?” Penny asked excitedly.
“I suppose so. I need to find my books of who needs to get back on the schedule. Assuming they haven’t got them fixed already.”
“Awesome. Please let me organize it!” Penny asked, her face lit up and there was no denying it.
“Ppple eee as see?”
“Sure. Don’t go crazy!” I said quickly.
“Of course not!” Penny had a devilish look to her eyes. Colt shook his
head but smiled at her.
“Are you going to Florida?” Colt asked.
“Yeah, maybe next week. We need to figure out who is going where and what is happening. Though, that is really your problem, not ours.”
“Actually, it is your problem too.” Colt said and sat back in his chai
“Oh? We are doing this here?” Penny dropped her fork and looked a
Colt.
“What are you talking about?” Alec asked.
“I had Calvin draw this up for me like an hour ago. It’s rough but thi
to me. It was of the entire area. However, instead of three packs, it was divided directly in half. The whole thing was a large circle with. the town in the middle. Colt and Penny would own half of it and Alec and I would have the other half.
“What?” I was shocked.
“The area is much too big for just us. Dividing it would be beneficial and after all the turmoil, we think it is best to eliminate the Midnight River Pack name.” Colt said with zero emotion.
“You were key in taking down Rip and Darin. If it wasn’t for you, we may not be here right now.” Penny said softly.
“I did what any luna would do. You would be surprised what you can do when there is a gun to your mate’s head and your warriors.” I said in autopilot.
