Chapter 0237
“Ice, we can go through the house and decide together what you want to keep and what we will keep.
Penny just pulled out things like your baby blanket and stuff like that. Stuff you might want to use for your
own kid that mom picked out for you.” Colt must have read my face.
Taking a deep breath, I forced my emotions down so I could keep a straight face. “Okay.”
“Like my dad, I will be working directly with you.” Colt said, looking at Alec.
“Understood. I am handling things on my end. I’m prepared to do what I need to do to see that my pack is
protected.” I could see that Colt read between the lines as he glanced at me.


“Let me know if you need anything.” Colt said as he stood up.
Following his lead, I looked around one last time at dad’s office. Colt would probably change a few things
but this would be the last time I saw it like this. Alec placed his hand on my lower back, as if wanting to

give me comfort but he was unsure how. Taking the vanilla envelope from me, Alec stood beside me.
“Do you need anything before we head over to the house?” Penny asked, somewhat timidly.
“No….thank you.” I said as I grabbed the door handle and shut it quietly. Alec didn’t put his hand around
me back as we walked so I reached out and held onto his arm as we walked down the stairs. People were
moving around, doing their tasks like this was a normal day. I knew me ntally that this was normal but I
still felt a way about it.
“We need to drive there. If you want to follow us, that would be good.” Colt said to Alec. He glanced down
and saw me holding onto Alec’s arm like it was my lifeline. Colt frowned but didn’t say anything.
“Sure.” Alec nodded. He steered me to our car and opened the door for me.
Sliding in the driver’s seat, he put the envelope on the dash before starting the car. He didn’t ask me
anything or even try to get me to talk. Instead, he started the car and followed Colt. Instead, he put his
hand on my thigh as I watched the packhouse fade away.
Was made our way through the little town that has been growing until we got to the outskirts. I remember
very clearly as a child how overgrown the brush was in this area but now it was cleared out. A small
driveway was partially hidden when Colt turned down it. Alec creeped along as we looked at the amazing
scenery around us. Thick, lush trees that hadn’t been touched by man filled the hole around until it
opened up and a beautiful two-story house sat in front of us.
The paint was chipping but the structure looked good.
