NovelEnglishChapter 125
Chapter 0125 Alec walked into the closet as I put on a bra. “Your wounds look good.” My eyes traveled to them. They looked days old and it felt completely normal. “Don’t avoid the question.” I glared at him. Grabbing an light weight romper, I grabbed sandals and started buckling them. “Colt texted asking when you would be there.” “Did you tellabout the rogues?” “No, I didn’t.” He even held his phone out so I could see the messages. Moving closer, I read each message and never once did Alec even mention the rogues. “Thank you.” I said, satisfied. “Can we go now?” Alec asked.
“Yeah.” I think I surprised Alec when I sl*pped my hand in his. I’ve never been one to initiate physical contact. The look on Alec’s face when he glanced down, mixed with his surprise that filtered through me, put a smile on my face. Alec gripped my hand back as he shut the bedroom door. To my surprise, he walked me straight to the library. “I thought we were meeting your mom?” “We are.” Alec let go of my hand and opened the door for me. The smell of sandwiches, fruit and flowers hitin the face. Luna Erin had transformed the library into a brunch and planning area. “Ah! You are right on time!” She cforward and gavea hug. I was so shocked that I almost forgot to hug her back. Up until this point, I had very minimal contact with her. “What is all this?” I asked with a smile on my face. “Well, we need to plan your ceremony! So, I took this tto have a brunch and we can spend some tto get to known each other.” She looked around before looking back atwith so much hope on her face.
My mouth was open but no words cout. I’ve never had a warm motherly figure in my life. My eyes looked at the beautiful arrangements she had set up. All the bowls of fruit, salads and a try of different foods. There was even a table of different deserts. When Alec’s hand rested on my lower back, I jumped a little as the sparks pulledout of my shock.” BONUS “What else are we doing today?” I asked as I toweled dried off. “Figured you would want to go to your shop.” Alec sighed. “I do but what about the rogues. I want to be there when you interrogate them.” Alec didn’t answer as he shut off the shower and stepped out. “Why?” “If it about me, I have every right to know. Plus, I will cooperate better if I am fully aware of what is happening.” I tried to reason with him. “I’ll tell you what, Colt will be at the shop. If he agrees, then you can go.” Alec wrapped the towel around his hips as he walked out of the bathroom. Well s hit. Colt has never wantedanywhere near the cells. Standing in front of the mirror with my towel around me, I just started brushing my hair. Thinking of ways! will be able to convince Colt to allowto do it. After applying a light layer of makeup and taking the tto blow-dry my hair, I straightened it and decided to put on a sundress. Alec was texting on his phone when I cout of the bathroom. “Almost ready?” Alec asked without looking up. “Yeah. Letget dressed. Who are you talking to?” It wasn’t jealousy that was sp ik ing but the fear that he would talk to Colt first and I never have a chance to plead my case. Mrs. Smith Author Thank you all for reading! 5
