Chapter 0236
“I will love you, old man. I hope to make you proud and accomplish all you hoped for me… for us.” Colt looked at me to see if I wanted to say anything. Slightly shaking my head no, he nodded and rested the torch on dad’s chest. His b*dy instantly erupted in flames.
Jacob brought over a larger Elm tree. After placing it in a hole, he used a shovel and finished planting it.” We will not be moving his ashes but allowing them to become one with the ground from which he died. This was dad’s wish.” Colt walked over and sat down beside Penny. Jacob sat in the second row, next to Sherry and his parents.
Everyone was quiet as we watched the ashes fly in the wind before sinking into the earth. A low rumble was heard in the distance, telling us a storm was coming. How perfect it would be to allow his b*dy to seep into the ground, really making him one with the earth as which we came from.
One by one, people got up and went back to their houses or safe location. Colt and I just sat there. Watching what little bit was left of our dad before the flames went out. Jacob got up and started digging a whole to put the rest of the bones that didn’t burn in the fire. After he was completely buried, did Colt stand up.


“Come on, sis.” Finally tearing my eyes away from the freshly dug grave, did I look at Colt. “I have a few things for you in
in my

office.” I just felt numb. It helped my dad wanted this but it still hurt.
Part of me wanted Alec to just carry me but my pride got in the way. Instead, I took his hand and stood up to follow Colt. My steps were much slower than Colt’s so I fell behind as we walked silently down the hill
and to the packhouse. Alec never once tried to get me to walk quicker or even take control. He just stood
beside me and was my rock.
I wasn’t sure if it was out of habit or what but as we walked up the steps, my heart started pounding. More than once I had to remind myself that A nn wasn’t in here and I was finally safe here. I was safe to come
back and visit my brother. Visit my old pack, friends and any future kids they might have.
Colt left the office door open as him and Penny had arrived there minutes before we did. He was doing
something on the computer when we walked in. Penny was in one arm chair so I took the other. Alec
stood behind me as we waited to hear what my brother had to say.
Colt sighed and ran his fingers through his hair and down his face before looking at me. “Dad left you this
letter. He wrote it this morning.” Colt slid over a vanilla envelope that contained more than just paper.
“What else is in here?” I asked taking it.
