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.
Alec stopped the car as short distance away so I could see the whole thing and take it in. It
looked like it
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmweather had got to it.
A white screen sat in front of a wooden door. I noticed the brushes and different tools off
to the side as I
got out of the vehicle and started walking towards it.
The bushes had been trimmed and new flowers were planted in the flower beds. No doubt
Penny wanted
to get out of the house for a little in the middle of the day. There was even a decent size
tree with a little
baby swing hanging from a branch. The swing was stained from sitting rain water and
years worth of
neglect but knowing my mother put it up there for Colt and I to use one day was warming.
Colt and Penny didn’t talk but just watched me walk around as if I was taking it all in. The
trash bags were
filled with scrapped off paint, rags with spider webs on them and a very distinct smell of
bleach around
them. There was cu shions with mold growing on them next to the trash bags. Looking on
the porch, they
must have replaced the moldy ones with new ones. What caught my eye, Penny chose a
fabric that was
almost identical to the one that mom had chosen.
