Chapter 69

Chapter 0069 Colt stepped aside. Jacob shook his head no and I was clinging to Emmy for my life. After a second, Colt picked up the torch and placed it on the wood under Ace’s b*dy. It instantly went up in flames, making me flinch back. Colt walked back to us and sat down. Soft music played as we watched Ace being ash. Dad sat there for about ten minutes before he stood up and walked up front. “There will be food and drinks located in the backyard of the pack house. The family has asked for anyone to come and join the continuation of celebrating Ace.” People started getting up and making their way to the backyard. A few people lingered but most headed down. Looking over, only Ace’s dad was there, watching the fire. Taking a deep breath, I was about to do something seriously brave or seriously s tupid. “Excuse me, sir “My b*dy was shaking as I approached him. I felt so many pairs of eyes on me. “What?” The hatred was thick in his eyes. Seriously st upid it was.

“I would like to tell you how sorry I am. Ace was someone I admired and loved as a brother. I know my pain is nothing compared to yours, but I want you to know that I do feel guilty and I will have to live with that guilt.” I to I took a deep breath as he looked at me. “I also know because of who I am, you probably haven’t gotten to vent the way you need to. I am giving you permission to tell me what you want to. You can yell, scream or cuss. Whatever you feel you need to get off your chest. This is your chance.” The shock on his face was clear. I waited as he stood up. I swear there wasn’t a single breath being taken around me as they waited to see what would happen. “Young lady, I watched you grow up. I know what kind of person you are. I have wanted nothing but to do

what you just said. My boy loved you and that got him killed. You poisoned his brain, shattered his heart and took his last breath. I know you will carry this with you. I know what it means to be a ranking wolf but if he didn’t love you like he did, he would have never taken that bullet. There might be forgiveness in my heart, but that day is not today.” He turned and walked away. Tears were silently running down my face as I kept looking at him in the eyes. Right as I was about to turn back to my friends, a sharp pain erupted across my cheek. It caught me so off I guard that I stumbled. Hands caught me before I completely fell. “F ucking da mmit, An n!” Dad roared. Looking over, dad had An n by the arm in a firm grip. She was smiling evilly at me. I felt something run down my chin. “C unt deserved it.” I knew my eyes went black. “Tomorrow, when we are equals and I’m no longer a member of this pack, we “Alec, get her out of here!” I hear Colt yell as my claws grew. “I command you to go to the cells!” Dad said. “Take her Colt.” Alec tried to get me to move but that wasn’t going to happen. This bi tch was going down. Alec ended up picking me up and tossing me over his shoulders. Thankfully, I had a better view of her kicking and screaming to the cells. Jacob was helping and Alec’s pack was following us to our cars. “Kristen!” Alec firmly yelled in my face. My attention was taken off An n and to him. “Baby girl, breath. Relax your b*dy.” Alec had me pinned against the car. His hands were rubbing my arms up and down, leaving something weird in their path. “I’m going to kill her.” “It’s okay.” “You said you wouldn’t allow her to hit me.” 1 know. I’m sorry, I was too far away to get there in time.”noveldrama
