Chapter 0022 Thankfully, Alpha Marc ignored her. “I think that is excellent and something to really be proud of. Alec tells me you also are in charge of the prom, spelling bee and multiple other events as well enrolled in advanced classes.” Glancing at Alec, his face was passive. “Yes sir. I enjoy staying busy. Not sure what I would do with all that free time.” I gave him a polite smile. “I could think of a few things you could do…” An n muttered. Everyone continued to ignore her. The food was finished being placed. An open faced roast beef sandwich with mash potatoes caused my mouth to water. “I’ve heard rumors that you are incredibly smart. Is that true?” Ah, he was fishing. “Thank you for your interest but I would prefer if you just ask me what you really want to know…sir.” “Kristen! How very rude!” An n stood up and scolded me. Alpha Marc just laughed. “Calm down, Luna A nn. She wasn’t being rude but being direct. Okay, I would like to know what your IQ is.” 2 “If you don’t mind, I rather not discuss this matter. I have allowed Kristen to follow the path she wanted. Yes, most of the rumors are true that she could have sk ipped and went to college but she has chosen to
attend school to have the same experiences as the kids her age. I have granted a certain level of independence to her because she has shown me she is capable of it all. That is all I am willing to share unless she ends up being mated to someone of your pack.” Dad said firmly. The room was quiet as I kept taking little bite of the overly salted gravy. “I can understand and respect that. I would be protective of her too.” Alpha Marc spoke finally. The conversation tapered off and I was finally left alone. Jasper and Emmy where in there own world. It was hard not to watch their happiness. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
“I’m sorry.” Ace leaned over and whispered in my ear. “No worries.” I gave him a small smile before returning to my glass of wine. This was a late supper so it was almost 9pm at this point and going out did sound like fun, “Yo Emmy.” I said in the mind-link. She hadn’t officially switched packs so we could still talk. “What’s up?” “I feel like dancing” “Oh?” “Well, just to get a drink anyway.” Emmy smiled at me before whispering in Jaspers ear. Whatever she said, he was game for. Looking at Alec, he whispered in his ear. “Anything you kids want to share?” Alpha Marc Caught on. “They want to go dancing.” Alec shrugged. “Try to not get into a fight this time.” Alpha Marc shook his head. “Well, my kids aren’t going.” A nn said as she went to stand up. “Excuse me?” It was Colt that spoke first. “Since when are we your kids?” Oh s hit. “Since I took over raising you brats!” “It’s fine. They can go.” Dad didn’t even look up from his plate. “NO! She still hasn’t been punished!” An n pointed a finger at me. Colt pulled my chair out and helped me stand. I was so shocked that it took me a second to move on my own.”I’ll watch over her.” Ace stood up and so did Jacob. Alec, Jasper and Emmy were right behind. “No time to change. Just get in the car.” Colt opened the doors and forced us all in. “What a piece of s hit stepmom” Jasper said. Muttered as Colt peeled out. I was in the front seat, forcing the guys to be shoulder to shoulder. “Did you say that you owned the club?” Alec asked. “Technically the pack does under the name but yeah, we run it together.” Colt nodded towards us.
“It’s more his than mine. I just am the brains to get it running.” Colt had the club and I have the tattoo shop. “Is there anything you guys can’t do?” Jasper asked shaking his head. Turning, I gave him a genuine smile. 1 “I can’t pee standing up…” ” “Smartas s.” Jasper muttered as Emmy busted up laughing.
