Chapter 0444 “Boys ready?” Alec asked as he got into the passenger’s seat.


    “yes.” We wear a collection of yes and a few just grunts from the back. They were happy toe along


    as the men had funst time but riding in this SUV for this long is not idea.


    “Good. You boys have a few hours to help Alpha Colte up with baby names.” Alec said. My head


    snapped him his in shock.


    “The fuck did my sister do to you?” I asked. That earned many chuckles from the back.


    “you didn’t exactly respond favorably earlier so now she has it in her mind that we need to help you.”


    Alec said as


    he pulled out a piece of paper.


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    ?Is that a list of names?” I asked.


    “yes.” Alec started to read the first one but I grabbed it from his hand and tossed it out of the window.


    “Hey! ? “Tell my sister to kiss my ass.” Sighing, I knew this was going to be a long car ride.


    “Waylon is a good name.” I heard from the back. “My mate and I were going to use that name but we


    only had girls.” “Wesley is good.” “Wesley is a pretty boys name. Not a name for an Alpha.” I groaned.


    Alec was just silentlyughing at my misery.


    “Archer Brian.” I heard from the back.


    “That’s not a bad name.” Another guy noted.


    “Anton.” “Yeah, if you want him to get picked on at school.” The men in the back were starting to argue


    about what names are better than the rest. I honestly liked Archer Brian. It wasn’t terrible.


    “Grayson.” I heard them say. That was another one that caught my attention.


    It wasn’t so unknown that made it weird but it was still notmon that he will run into many other


    Graysons.


    “How about we discuss something else.” I suggested but in a more firm voice.


    They changed their conversation but I let it drift into background noise.


    Instead, I just kept thinking about the stress of it all. Nothing was making me happier than to be getting


    three babies here soon. However, the stress of knowing my heavily pregnant mate was in imminent


    danger was giving me narrow vision. As much as I wanted to meet my children and name them, I


    wanted it to be in a world that was safe.


    Thinking of baby names right now seemed impractical.


    I needed to focus on how to kill Vin and take down whatever thing he was building. Only when he was


    dead, would my mate and children be safe.


    Allowing theme into a world with Vin still alive wasn’t an option.


    After stopping for food, we managed to make it to our destination. Since I had


    drove through the night, it was only an hour or so before the sun came up.


    Knowing the men wanted a few hours of shut eye, I pulled into a hotel.


    Alec got rooms for everyone. As they paired up, they went into their rooms and shut the door. “What


    are you doing?” Alec asked.


    “Going to go visit the old man.” I responded. There was no way in hell I would be able to sleep right


    now.


    “Now?” “I don’t want to visit him in the day time and tonight is the event.


    Whatever event that is, I rather not cut it close. At least, this way, we can set up and not worry about


    approaching until the time is right.” “Let me get my shoes on.” Alec sighed.


    Picking up my wallet, I just looked at { him. “You don’t have to go.” All he did was roll his eyes at me.


    Turning, I just walked out of the room and got into the drivers seat. Alec was only a few steps behind


    me as he got in the passengers seat.


    Taking a deep breath, Alec just gotfortable. “Ready to go.” “Wonderful.” Putting the vehicle in


    reverse, we backed up and got back on the road.


    “What’s your n?” Looking over, Alec had set his phone down and looked at me. “Not really sure.


    Walk up to him and offer him money for information.”


    “simple enough.” “Let’s just hope it works.” The rest of the drive was silent. Even as we pulled up to a


    different outskirts of the forest, we were quiet. Not once did Alec try to speak to me, which was just


    alright with me.


    A single, small line of smoke rose above the trees. Alec climbed a tree.


    Looking up, I waited for him to give me the signal. He had his binocrs and other fancy tools to help


    him asses the situation without actually being there.


    Once he gave me the signal, I started my journey. The night life was starting to quiet down as the


    morning life was starting to stir. As I got closer to the stack, I saw some movement in the window. This


    was going to make it


    trickier but I had to make the best out of it. ) Staying right in the tree line, I watched the movement. It


    seemed he was making some coffee or tea. Thankfully, he hadn’t turned any lights on or maybe he


    didn’t have the capability to turn the lights on.


    I saw my opportunity as he walked out of the kitchen and into the back of the room. Quickly moving to


    the back door, my eyes kept shifting around for any signs of danger.


    My hand was bone dry as I grabbed the handle and slowly turned it. Slipping in, I closed it quickly and


    sat down at the table. Since it was still dark, only the moonlight showed just my foot, intentionally.


    Slowly, the old man limped back into


    the kitchen. Keeping my breathing shallow, I waited until he turned and J sat my foot. The coffee pot fell


    to the ground, shattering.


    ?W-who are you?” He asked. There was some fear but mostly anger.


    “We already met.” I said, leaning forward, I allowed him to see my face.
