    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 ced it on the wood under Ace’s b*dy. It instantly went up in mes,


    making


    me flinch back. Colt walked back to us and sat down. Soft music yed 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 toe 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.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    “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 nothingpared 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.


    “Youngdy, 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 hisst 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 Ipletely 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 ck. “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 ws grew.


    “Imand 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.


    Rx 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.”
