    Chapter 0131


    I’m not sure if shocked was the right word to exin what I was feeling. I did understand what she was


    saying but I couldn’t help but feel hurt. They were keeping Alec from being alpha because Darin


    wanted me. My eyes dropped to her half drank tea. The dirty brown water reflected how I felt.


    “What aren’t you saying, mom?” Alec spoke firmly.


    “Watch your tone.” Luna Erin red right back. “At the end of the day, Darin wants Kristen. Marc and


    my concern is that he will challenge you for her. If you are alpha and luna, that might include that


    position. We don’t want him to be able to challenge for them together. If he wants to challenge the


    alpha, that is one thing but if she is the luna….” That would include the pack too.


    It was like a p in the face. “Anyone could challenge for that at any time.” Alec didn’t change the


    attitude in his voice. “Why wasn’t dad here for this conversation?”


    “Sometimes you dad can be…. too aggressive. This wasn’t meant to upset you but we did want to be


    transparent with you two. You deserve that much. I’m sorry we are in this position. I want nothing more


    than for you two to take over and be happy. We still have a pack we have to run and protect. This isn’t


    want I wanted for either of you but we are trying to make the best out of this situation. You wanted to


    travel, we will cover the cost. Please just think about it?” Luna Erin stood up. “I will see your choices get


    honored for yourmitment ceremony. We will need to have a dress fitting soon. Let me know what


    you both have decided.” She walked out of the library and quietly closed the door. Alec stood up and


    started pacing with his hands on his hips.


    “Did you know?” I asked quietly.


    “No, I swear. They had asked if you were wanting to travel and if you still nned on tattooing. I told


    them


    I wasn’t sure about the traveling since we never spoke about it but I told them you would be tattooing


    still.” Alec turned and looked at me.


    “I’m so sorry.” Alec came up to me and kneeled in front of me. Taking my hands in his, his eyes


    searched


    mine.


    Pulling my hands free of his, I slid around him and stood up. I knew that action hurt him as if filtered


    through the bond but I didn’t even know how I felt about it all. She wasn’t wrong but it was still like I got


    stabbed in the back. I was keeping Alec from being alpha. My brain was sca ttered as I kept trying to


    figure


    out what I was feeling and how I wanted to respond to this situation.


    “Why don’t we head to the shop to see the progress?” I said finally.


    Alec didn’t say anything but got up and opened the door for me. He was more angry than anything but !


    couldn’t tell where it was directed. My best guess was at his parents. Probably a little from me rejection


    opened the car door for me and waited until I got in before closing it gently. However, he mmed his


    door shut and floored the gas as he took off.


    Between his emotions and my own, I wasn’t sure what to do. Taking their offer of a vacation seemed


    wrong. As much as I wanted to look over at Alec, I kept my eyes out my window. The trees were flying


    by, helping me push everything out from my mind. Resting my head against the head rest, I forced my


    emotions to shut down. I didn’t want to think or feel. Turning my attention to my shop and what that was


    going to look like in the future.


    Alec had to


    d to park down the street since there was so many cars parked on the street. As soon as he turned off


    the car, I opened my own door and got out. The wind was blowing, making me smell the


    sawdust. It was a smell that said they were making progress. Alec came up to me but didn’t try to touch


    me.Original from N?velDrama.Org.
