Chapter 0552

Only when the helicopter touched down did I breath again. “Geez, Ice.

Someone might actually think you are capable of having emotions.” Colt poked fun at me as he opened the door.

Penny went first and then Alec. As I was about to leave, Alec held out his hands for me. He basically picked me up and gently put me down. I wasn’t sure at first why but when my feet hit the ground, they sank in. My ankle that was starting to heal bent a little, sending a shooting pain up my leg.

“Damn.” “Forgot how to walk in heels?” Colt asked as he laughed.

Alec was still holding me up and I was

struggling. “Penny is only standing because she isn’t wearing heels. You're shoes are sinking into the ground.” Glaring at him, Alec picked me to carry me to the car that was waiting.

Alec let me get in first before he climbed in. There were two bench seats facing each other so when Colt came in, my foot accidentally got in the way and made him trip. “Shit!” “Oh, sorry. Maybe if you weren't wearing clown shoes you could walk better.” “Is this how you two are going to behave today?” Penny looked at us like she was trying to scold us. Alec was thoroughly enjoying our bickering and Colt and I acted like we had no idea what she was talking about.

“I'haven’t seen my twin in ages. I just

love him.” She narrowed her eyes at me. “You saw him last night. Nice try.” “That was for business. I don’t get to see him for pleasure.” “Full of shit. Both of you!” Penny rolled her eyes at me. noveldrama

My mouth dropped open as I looked at Colt. “Did she just cuss at me?” Colt put his arm over her and tried to make her smile. “Come on. We are just having some fun.” The car came to a stop in front of

some sort of event center. Since we haven't been there before, Colt and I stopped bickering and got out of the car. There was multiple people filing in so we started walking too.

Alec put his hand on my lower back as we walked in front of Colt and Penny.

There was men in suites holding the door open for people. Soft piano music was playing as we walked in. White and red flowers filled the main room with spandex table coverings. Before fulling walking in, there was a table with our names for us to find our assigned seating.

“Table one?” Colt said as he found our names. He showed me the card to make sure I saw the same thing he did.

“Yeah...” As we walked in, the round tables had enough room for eight people so there would be at least four other people that were sitting with us. The closer we got, I was able to see that Jace and Lars were also at table one with their mates.

“Hey!” I said with a smile as we approached. h “Good to see you guys!” Jace stood up and so did his mate, Echo.

Lars and Emily weren't far behind. As soon as we gave everyone hugs and said hello, we sat down. For some reason, my legs kept bouncing to the point that Alec put his hand on them to keep them still. Colt was sitting on my other side so Penny could sit next to Echo. They had formed a good friendship recently.

“What an occasion, huh?” Jace started as a waiter came around.

“Can I get anyone anything to drink?” “I think just waters would be fine.”

Colt answered as he looked around for anyone to say anything else.

“Right away, Alpha Colt.” He bowed and retreated.

“This is defiantly quite the set up in such a short time.” Emily said quietly.

“He needs an heir, I guess.” Echo whispered.

“Kristen, I am so excited for the party this weekend!” Emily changed the subject as the waiter came back around.

“Me too! We will have so much fun!” Leaning forward, I took a sip from the water before sitting it down.

“We are suppose to get some more snow so it will really go well with the

decorations.” Penny joined in.

“Look who it is!” Lars smiled and { looked behind Alec.

“Am I last to the party?” Carson had a smile on his face as he walked up with Molly. Hank and Skyler were right behind him.

“Still waiting on Aston and Kathryn.” Jace said as the guys stood up to shake his hand.

“Has anyone met his new luna?” Hank asked.

“We haven’t.” Jace said and looked around.

“Nope.” Colt said. “We weren't told anything.” “Us either. This should be interesting.” Carson sighed as he looked around. It

looked like the whole pack was here.

“Look who it is.” Jace whispered. We all turned to see Aston, Kathryn and Anthony walking up the aisle.

“Thank you all for coming on such short notice.” Anthony said as he shook everyone’s hand.

“I’m sorry for you loss but excited to meet your new luna.” I said politely.

“Thank you. It has defiantly been a whirlwind of emotions.” Anthony didn’t appear to be very broken hearted. His face said he was sad but his eyes held something else.

“You sure did put something together quickly. These are beautiful flowers.” Emily said to Anthony as I started

looking around at the other guest.

Many were whispering quietly and others sitting quietly. However, no one was smiling. The entire mood was...

tension. People were sitting on the edge of their seats, and just looking rather anxious.

The conversation with Anthony drifted into the background as I looked at the staff and just everyone. Someone was getting yelled at in the kitchen. I | couldn’t hear it all but I caught words like perfect and lazy.

“If you excuse me, I think it is time to start.” Alec nudged me so I would focus and sit down. The lights dimmed and everyone stood for the new luna to walk down the aisle.
