Chapter 0035 “Thank you for letting me know.” I said as I tried to hold my breath. “Headed to bed?” “Yeah, getting ready for school tomorrow.” “Big week next week.” Dad was fishing at this point. “What is it, dad?” His hand went up and rubbed the back of his head. “Did you find a dress?” “Yes.” “One that fit the theme?” F uck.. colt wouldn’t have ratted me out. 1 got two dresses, one for my birthday, and one for prom.” I didn’t want to lie. “Wear what makes you happy.” Dad said after a pause before turning and leaving. “That was weird.” I said to out loud to myself as I shut the bedroom door. Turning the lights off, I fell asleep right as my phone dinged. After a small internal debate, it wasn’t worth me moving so I finished

going to bed. Monday mornings are literally the worst. This Monday was the worst one yet. Not even out of bed and I knew today was going to suck. An n is going to be going crazy with the birthday party and the challenge in Saturday. So many people will be coming and going all week. Tension will be high and I’ll be the target for her stress relief. Not to mention the fact I may find my mate on friday. If it was Ace, there would be no escape. Part of me always had this connection to him. It was so easy and effortless. We just flowed and it came naturally. Then there was Alec. He was a wild card that I didnt fully believe in. He was the hottest f ucking guy I’d ever seen and boy could he k*ss. The reality of him being my mate was slim. We fought and our tempers clashed. Like oil and water.

Reaching over, I was able to grab my phone without moving too much. I was feeling almost normal at this point. That was, until I saw I had two messages. One from Ace and one from Alec. Ace: Happy Birthday week! Try to have a good day. It was sent at 6:03am. The clock said it was 6:45am. Texting back, I said thanks before pulling up Alec’s message. Alec: Everything got handled. Site has been cleared for construction. Thanks for your help. That was sent right before I went to bed. I didn’t feel the need to reply. Instead, I just got up and took a quick shower. I could s kip today but that would mean more An n so I opted to go.. I didn’t feel like messing with my hair so I braided it to the side, applied some light makeup before dressing in basic shorts and t-shirt. It was suppose to be a hot f ucking week. Picking up my phone, I pulled up Emmy’s name before remembering she isn’t here anymore. I’ll be going to school alone. Frowning, I just grabbed my bag and walked out of my room. “About time you woke up.” Ace was standing right outside my door. “S HIT!” his presence startled me. “What are you doing?” Holding up a muf fin and a water, he smiled. “I came bearing gifts.” The chocolate smelled delicious. Sn atching it, I just glared at him as we started walking. “What’s the occasion?” “Emmy isn’t here to accompany you. So if figured I’d fill in.” He shrugged. I “Thanks.” I said maybe a little too chill. He gave me a weird look. “Want to take my car?” He asked as he opened the garage door. “No, you have training and I have to go to the shop.” I sighed as I walked over to my bike. okay, we will do “What’s up. Ace? You have never done this before.” Stopping at my bike, I just straight up asked him. “An n is already on it. Colt assigned one of us to escort you while at the pack house until you find your mate.” Ace always told me the truth. noveldrama

“Ah.” Putting on my helmet, we got on our bikes. Putting the rest of the mu ffin in my side container, we drove off. Mrs. Smith Author Thank you all for reading! I may not post tomorrow but I will be back on regular schedule in July. My kiddo hast-ball! 28
