Chapter 0286

I didn’t realize how much this actually meant to me when I was able to turn and walk into

my shop for the first time since I was 100% done. Everything was cleaned. Pictures were

hung on the wall, lights were installed under the cabinets and even my computers were

set up. Everything was polished and ready to go.

Melonie walked around with the camera and said a few words before the camera got

turned off. “That’s a wrap! Thank you for having us!” She held out her hand for me to

shake. I wasn’t a short person but she towered over me with her perfectly manicured

fingernails and red bottoms.

“It was a pleasure.” I said.

Pulling out a business card, she wrote something down before

walking up to Alec. “Here is my business card if you ever need

another expert. I added my cell if you want to discuss some business

after hours.”

He just looked at her but I wasn’t going to have that. “I’ll take that. I don’t think my

husband is going to be calling you. He likes his women a little less needy.”

Melonie raised an eyebrow at me and popped her hip out. “We will see about that.”

Alec held me back as she walked out of the shop. “I wouldn’t have hurt her…” I grumbled.

“Yes you would have and we have had enough trouble.” Alec laughed as he pulled me into

a hug.

“I KNEW IT!” Emmy screamed.

“Knew what?” I stepped back from Alec and looked at her confused.

“YOU DO GET JEALOUS!” Emmy was bouncing up and down, clapping her hands.

“Not jealous, just don’t allow bi tc hes to look at what is mine. There is a difference. She

isn’t a wolf and has no idea what I could do to her. Humans are reckless and I was just

protecting him.”

“That is a lot of words to use when describing jealousy.” Jacob laughed.

“I’ll kick your as s too!” I said as I glared at him.

“Kris! We have one more surprise for you.” Penny yelled from behind my front desk.

“What?” I looked confused. She walked out carrying a massive book. I recognized what it

was right away. It’s the type of book that you use for a portfolio. “You got me a new book?”

“Kinda.” Penny showed me the cover. It had a Black Moon with two wolves howling. The

leather was fresh as I could smell it. Alec took the cover and opened it for me.

My jaw hit the floor. It was of my very first tattoo. Alec kept fl*pping. Each picture was

perfectly captured and showed off my work. “I don’t understand…”

“Alec wanted to give you back something. Him and I together

contacted everyone we knew who had a tattoo by you and asked to take a picture of it.”

Penny filled in.

“I know how much this shop means to you and how hurt you were when you saw your

portfolio destroyed. I wanted to give this back to you.” Alec fl*pped to the last photo and it

was of his back. He even had his back blown up and was hanging behind my front desk in

a

massive frame.

“Thank you!” I yelled as I threw my arms around his neck. He caught me and held me

close so I could gather myself.

“You know. We should really tell them you are pregnant. Otherwise, they will question why

you are not drinking at the BBQ tonight.” Alec said in my mind-link.

“You want to tell them that bad?” I laughed as he let me go. I went to hug Penny too.

“Thank you, Penny.” I said to her.

“It is only a small token of what you have done for me.” Penny had tears in her eyes.

“I do.” Alec said in our mind-link.

“Fine but you tell them.” I walked over and grabbed his forearm. Not his hand but just is

arm. I wasn’t sure why I was so scared or nervous all of the sudden. However, I was and I

wasn’t going to be able to get

the words out.

“Thank you all for doing all this for us… for her. With everything that has been going on,

having all of you beside us has truly been the only thing keeping us going. Keeping me

sane, keeping Kristen safe.” Alec was even getting a little nervous. Were were all standing

around in a circle. “I wish Jasper could have been here but Kristen and I do have

some news to share.”
