Chapter 0615
Out of the corner of my eyes, I could see our warriors shift in position. My wolf was so angry that I had to stop her from growling at him. However, I wasn't going to play nice. Giving him a fuck you smile, I took his hand making him think I was accepting it. Instead, I pulled him forward quickly and punched him straight in the nose. Blood splattered at the same time his men took a step forward but so did mine.
"You have a lot of balls to step food on my territory and think I would accept you." I said with venom in my voice. Alec wrapped his arms around me and pulled me back.
Maddox stood up but was smiling as he took a tissue from one of his men. "Nothing less than I deserve, I know."
"You deserve much more but unfortunately for you, I am being held back. Why are you here?"
"I wanted to offer my apologize. It has been my understanding that the Florida police department had some footage and since the fire didn't fully cover your tracks, they have been in contact with you."
"How do you know about that?" Colt asked, dangerously.
"I have my ways. As an apology and an olive branch, I made sure the investigation has now been complete and no foul play is expected."
My jaw dropped. The Florida police had call and said our fingerprints were found at a crime scene and asked if we had been down there. We had to say that we were down there earlier in the week but it had been days since then. They didn't completely buy our story but it wasn't enough to charge us with anything.
"How?" Colt asked?"
"Not for you to worry about. I just wanted to come here and meet Kristen before we continued on our journey." Maddox blew his nose one last time before he pocketed the tissue. Holding out his hand, he looked at Alec. "I'm sorry how things played out but I'm still family. Let me know if you need anything."
Alec was torn but decided this wasn't the time or the place to have that conversation. Taking his hand, they shook before Alec quickly let him go. After nodding at me and giving Colt, Jace and Lars a look, he turned around and walked towards his car. We waited until he was out of sight before we moved.noveldrama
"You have blood on your dress." Colt sighed.
"Completely worth it." Satisfied, we walked back towards the party. Adalynn was screaming and laughing at the girls were making funny faces at her.
"What did you do?" Penny screamed as she saw my dress.
"Took care of business." I said simply and sat down.
Penny covered her eyes. "Why can't you just act like a lady!"
"Because I'm not you." I was indifferent to her annoyance with me as I kept shoving my face full of food.
"Leave her alone." Colt whispered in her ear.
Most of the place had finished eating and the sun was started to hide behind the trees, signaling the lights to turn on. The music changed as the dance floor started filling up.
"Let's have that quick meeting so we can get back down here to party!" Lars put his napkin down.
"Sounds good." Alec looked down at my plate. I was just about finished but usually I go in for seconds. "Is that okay or do you need another round?"
"I'm okay." It wasn't that I was hungry but I wasn't done eating something that was so tasty.
"What do you think about putting Adalynn in with the triplets?" Alec asked in the mind link as we all got up and headed towards our office.
"I guess we are going to have to do it eventually. I'll probably never be ready but maybe it is time." Taking his hand, Adalynn was practically asleep on his shoulder.
He didn't answer me but headed to drop her off as I opened the office. The maps were already spread out over the desk, making it easy to look at what was being proposed. Taking a minute to myself, I looked over it.
Alec and I would keep a chunk of optimal territory for vacationing and for the views. Colt was doing the same and the rest was being split in half for Lars and Jace. We had enough land and since there was so many lives hanging in the balance, we didn't want to figure that headache out.
"What do you think?" Alec asked as he walked in and shut the door.
Looking up at him, he seemed in a decent mood so the hand off must have went okay. "Looks fine." Shrugging my shoulders, I wasn't sure what he expected me to say.
"Here is a list of who is going where." Jace handed out papers to each of us. Everyone was separated into each Alpha and who wanted to go where. Most were staying where their homes were and going under the new alpha but there was a handful that did want to transfer to Colt or us.
"Looks good. Where do we sign?" I asked, ready to get back to the party.
"Here." Lars put the papers down. "You sign the yellow, Alec is the blue and Colt is the Pink. Jace and I have already signed the agreement."
Alec looked over it one last time before signing where indicated. "Where is Hank and Carson?" Jace asked.
"They had to run after the ceremony. They each had events in their packs that they needed to get back to." Alec answered as he handed me the pin.
"Well damn." Jace sighed.
"He said this was a young man's party and they were ready for bed." Colt chuckled.
I handed Colt the pin to do his part. "I agree. Let's head back to party!" Lars smiled at us.
"I'll get this submitted first thing tomorrow." Alec muttered as he took the pin from Colt.
"Let's go!" They slapped hands and turned around to leave. Colt gave us a look before walking out behind them.
"Are you doing okay?" Alec grabbed my arm and pulled me against him.
"I am." I said after a moment. "I'm ready for some quiet."
"Love, nothing about our lives is quiet. We got another bundle coming that is not going to be quiet." Alec put his hand on my stomach. I could feel the baby flutter.
"As long as you are beside me, I'm ready for whatever life throws at us." Wrapping my arms around his neck, Alec bend over to kiss me hard on the lips. "Come on. Let's show them how good I can still move on the dance floor." I said after he finally let me go. Grabbing his hands, we walked out of our office and back to the party.
