Chapter 0040

“You were suppose to be overseas for another year.” Colt said blanty.

“Came home. Got an invitation to a birthday party?” I was cussing out An n in my head for

sending them

one.

“I heard you found your mate already.” Alec stated.

“Unfortunately, she didn’t make the cut. I am in search of a replacement.” He turned and

looked at me.

“Yup” he licked his l*ps as he looked me up and down.

“She isn’t 18 yet.” Colt said.

“Neither are you. That is, until Friday, I’ll be waiting to see who I will be challenging for her

hand.” After

nodding, the three guys walked out of my shop. Getting into their sports car and sped off.

I was just frozen in my spot. What the actual f uck just happened? My eyes stayed on the

door. His words echoed in my head. ‘who he will be challenging for my hand’.

“Kris!” Colt had me by the shoulders and shook me. Snapping me out of my trans, I finally

looked up at

him.

My mouth opened about nothing came out. My tongue was dry, my nerves were shot and

my energy was

drained. Colt just pulled me into a hug.

“When did he f ucking get back? Jacob was on a rampage.

“This isn’t good.” Jasper agreed.

“Can you guys come over for a meeting? Colt asked Alec.

“Of course. We will be there in an hour.” Alec looked at me. “You okay?”

All I could do was nod. That seemed to satisfy him and they left. “We need to get home.

Cancel your appointments.” Grabbing my appointment book, I held it close.

“I’ll do it at home.” I had never wanted to go home to the pack house so bad before.

Colt nodded as he grabbed my bag and watched me lock the door. Climbing in Jacobs car,

he dropped Ace off at my bike. Ace rode it home for me so I could stay in the car. The

whole thing took about 45

minutes before we were back.

“Kristen, go to my office. Make your calls and stay there.” Dad was angry. Nodding, I took

off running. As

“No, I’m not going to f ucking cry.” I yelled at myself. Keep your head up and focus.

Opening my book, I dialed the first person.

“Hello?”

“Graham, this is Kris. I’m going to have to reschedule. Something came up and dad is

requesting I am

present for it.” It wasn’t lie.

“Dam n, okay. Just let me know what works.” He was a pack member so he couldn’t argue

with a

command from dad.

“Thursday at 4?”

“Sounds good. Thanks!” We hung up and I called the next person. It went about the same.

The last person

was a human and would be more difficult.

“Hello?” He sounded angry.

“This is Kris, I am going to have to reschedule your appointment to day as something

came up and I will

not be in the shop.”

“That’s bulls hit. I already paid and I want my tattoo finished.” Dad and everyone walked

in. Including Ale

Marc, Jasper and Emmy.

“I understand that and I apologize for the inconveniences but this is unavoidable. Can you

come next

week?”

I’ll have to call you back.” Click! Frowning, I put my phone down. Everyone was looking at

me, waiting.

“Kris! Are you okay?” Emmy sat down beside me, looking very concerned.

I just looked at her. Not sure how to answer that. Looking at the room, my eyes landed on

Colt. Giving that twin vibe to get him to change the subject.

“Dad, why was an invitation sent to them? They aren’t allies!” Colt was pis sed. Emmy

tried to put her arm around me but I pushed it off and stood up. If I let her comfort me, I

might c rack.

“An n, get in there.” Dad pressed the intercom button, calling for An n. No one spoke as we

waited for her. I

moved to the window and looked down. 1

“Hune-” An n walked in thinking it was just dad but when she saw everyone, she frowned.

“What’s going

on?” Her whole tone changed.
