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.
