Chapter 0534

"Do we need to revisit last night?" Alec asked quietly.

My body froze. Last night, Alec wanted to see how much I would submit to him. In the end, I absolutely refused to submit but I teased him so bad that he man handled me. It was honestly the most amazing night of sex we have had in months.

"You can try Mr. Alpha." I said sweetly as I walked up to him. Alec didn't move a muscle other than his eyebrow raising. Licking my lips, I got to my tippy toes and whispered in his ear. "I don't think you know how to makesubmit." My tongue grazed his ear as a low growl rumbled his chest. noveldrama

Alec set his beer down and his hands firmly grabbed my hips. "I don't?" He asked in an amused voice. His hand moved under my shirt as he lowered his head. His teeth gently bit on a sensitive spot I had on the back of my neck, along my hair line. It was just behind my ear but damn if it didn't make my knees give out.

Instantly, my breathing got heavy. Bringing up my leg, I wrapped it around his and pulled him leg forward so it was firmly pressed between my legs. "You can try but I-" The door bell rang, telling us Colt and Penny were here.

"Fuck." Alec groaned as he pushedoff of him. He had to adjust himself as I laughed the whole way to open the door.

"This looks amazing!" Penny said as they let themselves in.

"Cin! I said with a smile. "Closet is right there for your coats. No babies?" "Nope. We left them at hwith a nanny." Penny looked half relieved.

"Needing sadult time?" Colt took Penny's coat and sighed. "You have no idea. Where's Alec?" "In the kitchen. Con, food is done!" Alec had downed his beer and was pulling out two when we walked into

the room. "How was the roads?" He asked as he handed Colt a beer.

"Not too bad. The snow is pretty wet so it's just melting on the roads." "Do you care if I snoop?" Penny asked. I didn't realized she wasn't with us.

"Of course!" I said. I probably should give her a tour but the oven bell rang out forto get the salmon out.

"What did you cook?" Colt took a seat on a bar stool.

"Salmon and broccoli." I said as I hit the microwave for the broccoli. "It's from the cookbook and I wanted to try it." "Sounds good to me!" Colt looked a little worn down but nothing crazy.

"What's wrong?" I asked as I studied him.

"We had a rogue attack the other day." Colt took a chug as I pulled the salmon out.

"Everything okay?" I asked, my stomach dropped.

"Yeah. We are find but they got into the cells." Colt looked at me, like he was unsure how I was going to take the news. "...and?" I looked between Colt and Alec. Alec had his arms crossed and was staring at me, trying to gage my reaction. "You are telling her now?" Penny's voice cup the stairs before her head popped up. She had just been down stairs when we started talking.

"Might as well." Colt sighed and sat up straight.

"Tellwhat?" "The rogues were able to get into a couple cells and a few people died. One of them was Ann." The news shockedso much that I stopped everything and looked at him. "Ann is dead?" I couldn't believe it. "Are you sure?" "She was unrecognizable but it was her. She was in her cell and is the sheight and weight." Colt shrugged but didn't take his eyes off of me.

"Why are you acting like I am going to loose my shit?" "I just wasn't sure how you were going to react." "What did you do with the body?" Slowly, my hands started moving again as I dished up the salmon. The microwave dinged, tellingthe broccoli was done.

"We burned it. I didn't think of seeing if you wanted to cover for it, I'm sorry." Colt didn't have an expression on his face but his eyes toldhe felt like shit.

t's not that I would want to pay my ast respects but the hatred I felt owards her ran to my core.

Watching her burn would have been plifting to all the pain I went hrough. "Oh." WPenny leaned forward after a moment, "Kris?"Plastering on a smile, I was done talking about it. "Supper's ready! Let's eat before it get's cold." Grabbing two plates, I walked around to put them on the table. No one moved as I cback for seconds. "Serious. Go to the table.” Giving them a look, they att grudgingly went to the table. "If you feel like you need to visit her..." Penny started.

Looking at Colt, I pleaded with him through our twin connection to get him to change the subject. "How has Adalynn been sleeping lately?" He asked.

Relaxing a little, I stabbed the broccoli and ate it. Looking up at the balcony, I couldn't see a thing. Alec's and Colt's voice trailed off as flashbacks of Ann hit me. If Colt said she was dead, then she was dead but just wanted to have seen for myself. I always assumed there would be a trial that I would vent all my frustration out. I've been holding onto this hatred for so long that maybe now I could let it go. "Ice?" Colt's voice broughtback.

"I'm sorry, what did you say?" "The salmon is really good. The buttery garlic goes really great with it." I watched him take a bit and eat it.

"Thanks. I'm glad it turned out good." "So, Kris and Alec. There is something else we wanted to tell you guys!" Penny looked really happy as she reached her hand out and took Colt's.
