“Well, twenty years ago it was worth one million. Today it will be much more than that.”
Alec sounded shocked.
“What are these?”
I looked over at another stack of vanilla envelops in a box next to the mirror. Opening the first one, it was bonds.
“Holy f uck.”
Alec looked at the one I was holding.
“She has a large fortune in here.”
“It’s all our, now.”
Alec started opening more boxes. Some where just clothes or different vases. There was fur coats and collectables.
“Basically, everything that was her family’s that was worth anything is in here.”
Alec said. There was around a hundred different drawings that mom had drawn and some that must have been her mother or aunt’s.
“What are we going to do with all this?”
I asked.
“Take it home. Hang some of these up. Give Colt some. Keep the jewelry safe. We don’t need the money. I put the five million that hit the bank from your dad’s death in savings. We can do whatever with it. Save it, build the house you want or even use it for something else.”

“We need to keep all this private so no one comes to steal it.”
I said..
“We could buy a bank and keep it there.”
Alec joked.
“That really isn’t a bad idea.”
“I was joking but we could do it.”
Alec looked at me.
“Let’s go to the beach and talk about this. That was my mom’s last wish and I want to see it through.”
“Anything for you.”
Alec scooped me up and k*ssed me as he carried to me our car. Watching Alec lock up the storage unit, I realized all my dreams came true. I didn’t need to travel to find happiness. I already had it. Alec got in the car. After started the engine, he put his hand on my stomach as we drove to the beach. 3/3 Mrs. Smith

Colt and Penny’s story. Penny’s POV
“How are things going in here?”
Colt walked into our office. Since we renovated the entire packhouse, it was more light and welcoming. Lightly stained hard wood floors went beautifully with the white. distressed accent furniture pieces. However, my favorite part of our office was our desks. We each had our own area. Knocking down the wall, we took out a spare bedroom and really opened it up. Per my request, Colt put in a floor to ceiling glass wall that let in all the natural lighting I could ask for. Currently, I was staring at different paintings and trying to figure out which ones I wanted to hang. Since Kris had everything in the storage shed moved back a week ago, her and Colt have split most of it all. She obviously kept the jewelry but she graciously shared their mother’s paintings/drawings with him.
“I think we should put this beautiful charcoal drawing of this wolf head behind your desk. I love this one of the owl. That one should be behind mine.”
His desk was in the original place his father’s desk was and mine is where the bed used to be. Each of us have large matching rugs and a joined seating/relaxing area. Taking out the bedroom door, there is only one entrance. However, we did put in a built-in collapsable wall so if I needed privacy for any reason, I would have it.
“Okay.”
Colt nodded and leaned against my desk.
“You don’t honestly care do you?”
It was both annoying and welcoming. I wanted him to have an input but I just wanted his opinion to match mine. Truthfully, I was a little stubborn when it 1/3 anything at all and the rest was my creative freedom. Never once did she redistrict my creative process. However, Colt was my mate and I wanted a different relationship with him when it came to this stuff.
“I care, I just don’t really know where it should go and you are so good with it all. Whatever you think it best.”
He looked out the window like his mind wasn’t even focused on this.
“I can feel your anxiety. What is going on?”
Usually, Colt only felt this way when it came to a topic he knew I wasn’t going to like.
“Your…. Cassie is ready to be discharged from the hospital.”
My b*dy froze. I knew this was coming but I haven’t visited her since I met her the first time. I knew I told her I would come back but it hasn’t happened. More than once, I walked to the hospital and turned around. I wasn’t sure what was stopping me. Something just held me back from going in. The staff saw me on more than one occasion. Thankfully, they just nodded in understanding when I turned away. Never once trying to get me to come in. Images of her laying in the hospital flashed before my eyes. She looked broken. Bandages covered what little of her neck that was sticking out and bruises covered her arms. Zac looked dangerous and not someone I was comfortable around. Even though I wasn’t as good as friends with Ace as Colt was, I was still finding it hard to forgive him.
“Oh?”
I wasn’t sure what else to say. Picking up the owl drawing, I held it up against my freshly cream colored walls. The darkness of the owl really looked good against it
“I need to know what you want. Do you want them on the other side of the packhouse or next to us?”
Colt said in a soft tone.
“When will the house be done?”
I asked, not sure how close I wanted
“I know. I-I just can’t figure out why I feel this way. Why don’t I want to see them?”
Looking into Colt’s eyes, I pleaded with him to have an answer. However, the sympathy in his eyes told me I wasn’t going to get that. Your entire life, you thought they abandoned you. That is 19 years of anger and confusion that isn’t going to go away in one week. As much as you try to hide it or not feel it, you can be angry. No one expects you to just forgive and be their daughter again.”
“I’m not like Kristen. I can’t just have this don’t give a f u ck attitude and move on. I feel things more deeply.”
There was a part of me what felt like Colt always compared us together. Even though he denies it.
“You need to find your own way of dealing with this but you do have to deal with it. Unless you want to make them go live with Alec and Ice, they are our problem. I’ll even let you punch Zac a few times if that will help?”
He tried to make a joke but I didn’t fall for it. He wast right. I did need to find a way to move on.
“Deal with it how? Be the loving, forgiving daughter?”
That kind of pis sed me off he said that.
“I didn’t say that. I said you needed to find a way to deal with it. If that way is anger and you yell at them, okay. If you want to confine them to their room, that is okay too but ignoring this isn’t going to make it go away. I will support you in whatever you choose on how to deal with this. I love you and this baby growing inside of you deserves to have a home with zero negativity. Plus, we are living at our house anyway. Having them here isn’t like we will be their neighbor.”
My hand went over my stomach. I had just found out I was pregnant yesterday. Colt was the happiest I have ever seen him. Annoyingly so, 1/3 ne was nym. I urun mun to raide our mumu nome main grow up with. Constantly looking over their shoulders. Flinching anytime someone raised their hands. I knew why Kristen was the way she was but I didn’t want to be that person. My shelter for abandoned kids was being built as we speak. There was plans for changes in the school system to help those who are academically advanced. Kristen had started it but I wanted more. What they didn’t know, I had started planning on changes I wish were. there when I was growing up as a teenager and now I planned on implementing them.
“I guess put them where ever makes sense in the packhouse. You’re right. We don’t live here and I can always stay here or go home if I need space. I still don’t want Cassie or Zac to know where our home. is.”
“Whatever you are comfortable with.”
Colt pulled me into a hug.
“I will be beside you ever step of the way.”
“I wish I had someone here with me. As much as Sherry has relaxed and working through her issues, I don’t have help or a friend sten took Emmy with her.”
“I thought you and Sherry got along?”
Colt was puzzled by this.
“Oh, we do get along but she is still working through her issues. I can’t talk to her like I could Emmy or Kris. Part of me still feels like she needs a mentor than a friend.”
“Maybe she feels like you don’t view her as a friend?”
Colt said back to me.
“What?”
That surprised me enough that I pulled back and looked up at him. Colt was frowning as he looked down.
“Jacob told me that Sherry confessed to him that she feels alone here. She wants to have.
“I like Sherry! She is just so timid and never says anything so l assumed she wasn’t ready so I never tried to push her.”
I was appalled at what I was hearing.
“Does she really think that?”
3/2
“She does. She is your beta and I think maybe you should give her a task or two and see how she does. Maybe she will surprise you. You can start with having her organize the packhouse kitchen schedules. There hasn’t been a menu out and we used to have one for the whole month. The staff has been frustrated with not knowing what to buy and it’s been a little crazy with who’s responsibilities are whose.”
“Why hasn’t anyone told me?”
I was crushed by this.
“Really? You have been slammed with making sure people have a roof over their heads. We have how many projects going on to support all of our new members? For some reason, you and Kris think we still need a prom. We have your’s and Kris’s luna ceremonies coming up. Plus, I saw something about inviting how many packs to, ours to hold a huge party?”
“That was for their benefit! Kris and wanted to see if any of the women would take chosen mates or even find their mates. By inviting all these packs, it would give a better chance for those who never had a mate to find theirs or those who lost their mate and survived, find one that will help them survive longer.”
“Honey, I am all for it but you are doing all these things by yourself. You are not accepting help from Sherry and you are ignoring Cassie and Zac. I know you see the bigger picture but you also need to focus on the problems right in front of you as well. We have situations here. that need addressed too.”
I knew he was right but dam n if I was going to tell him that.
“Fine but we are still having prom.”
I said stubbornly. My stomach did a little fl*p and my mind went to the very se xy dress I had bought for the occasion. M
“Well, since it is Monday and you have it scheduled for this Saturday, that is okay.”
