Chapter 0577

“It’s likely he could be the mole.” Tt wasn’t like it surprised me but there was a part of me that hoped he would have turned his life around after everything he had been through.

“I think it would be a good idea to take up Jace’s offer and do some of your own recon.” Colt folded his arms over his chest and looked at me.

“Kristen and I had already agreed to go. She will be pissed I am leaving her behind.” “I’11 go with you. Jacob can take over for a few days and I assume Jasper will be fine as well.” Not that I minded but there was little room for argument.

Plus, it would be smart to go with someone, At least this way, I wouldn't

be worried about Kristen's safety and she would be around to take care of Adalynn.

‘Jaspers’ good.” “Shit, I would bet Jace would want to tag along.” “More man power.” My voice trailed off as I saw the doctor come into the waiting room. We made eye contact and I immediately walked around Colt to talk to him.

“We got the bullet out. Nothing major was damaged. She has a strong wolf so she should heal within a week but I would say no weight for 24 hours and them weight as tolerated.” The doctor whispered quietly so only we could hear.

“Can I see her now?”

“Sure... you are?” The doctor looked over at Colt. “We have a strict family visiting hours.” “I’m her twin brother.” Colt said in a rather unnecessary aggressive tone.

“Alright.” The doctor didn’t give Colt a second glance as he turned and pushed open some double doors. Colt and I towered over most of the staff, making everyone turn and look at us as we passed.

Everything was white and smelled like beach and alcohol. Sterilization was more annoying to my nose than anything else. The floor was white tile, the walls were another shade of white and even the rails on the walls were white. The only thing of color was the scrubs the staff wore and that was

random. &» “Here you go.” The doctor stopped walking and pointed to a room.

“Visiting hours are over so please stay in the room unless you are leaving.” He didn’t wait for a response before he walked away.

Opening the door, Kristen had her eyes closed and the lights were low. Only a nurse was in the room, checking her vitals. “She is still sedated. However, she should be waking up within the hour.” “Thank you.” I said before I pulled up a chair to her bedside. Colt stayed standing at the end of her bed.

“Let me know if you need anything.” The nurse bowed before walking out of the room.

“Let's get past the 24 hour period and then we can go to Jace’s. The quicker we move on this the better and if we wait to long, Kristen will fight with us on going.” “Probably right. She is incredibly stubborn and nothing will be changing that.” Reaching up, I took her hand in mine and rested my head against hers. It was more to calm me than anything. I knew she was going to be okay so it wasn’t as touch and go as last time. However, I was done being in a hospital.

“At this point, you might just build a hospital between our packs.” Colt tossed the idea out there.

“What did you ever do with the casino?”

“We have all the names switched over and Penny as completely cut ties with the Alpha title. She wanted to do itin private because of the pain. She wants to hold girl camps so she is organizing that. Come this summer, there will be stuff going on there.” “Alec?” Kristen groaned as her eyes started to flutter.

“1'm here.” The chair about flipped back since I stood up so quickly. “How are you feeling?” “High.” It took her a little bit but she finally got her eyes open. She looked at me before realizing Colt was in the room. “Hey, bro.” “Why do you keep ending up ina hospital?” Colt interrogated.

“This was not my fault! I didn’t seek

out a fight.” Kristen glared at me.

“I know. I'm glad you made it out alive.” “My poor cabin.” Kristen looked around.

“What do you need?” I asked, confused.

“A drink.” Colt walked around to the other side of the bed where a cup with a straw was sitting on the end table. “Here.” Colt held it up to her lips. After a quick sip, she pulled her head away. “How bad is it?” “Not bad at all. Nothing was damaged.

No weight for 24 hours and then as little as possible but about a weeks worth of recovery.” Not fully what the

doctor said but close enough.

Colt glanced at me but didn’t correct me. “Well shit. How many did I end up killing?” This time, it was my turn to shift uncomfortably. “Well, we are thinking two or more.” “you are thinking? Did you not go to the cabin?” Kristen tried to sit up more. Colt pushed the buttons, helping her sit up.

“We did but there wasn’t any bodies.

Only thing we found was a heart and a lot of blood.” I could see the realization on her face sink in. “So, we don’t know if they were rogues or warriors from Anthony’s pack?” “Not right now but we will do blood

testing to see if we can figure who they were out.” “They attacked me. In our home!” I could feel the hysterics starting to rise in Kristen. She looked around at Colt for help but he just looked at her. I did what I could and pushed calming emotions in her.

At one point, I worried she was going to push it down and bury it but after watching her take a deep breath with her eyes closed, I thought she was going to be able to come out of this. noveldrama

That was, until her eyes opened and I saw her wolf.
