Chapter 0576 The nurses kept me from going back past the double doors. Kristen’s voice echoed in my head as she told me she loved me before she passed out. It was like she was incapable to staying out of trouble. Mentally, I knew this wasn’t her fault but I was tired of seeing her hurt. I was emotionally ready to break from time and time again thinking I might lose her.
Grabbing my phone, I dialed Vivian.
Thankfully, she picked up on the second ring. “Hello, Alpha Alec. I wasn’t expecting to hear from you.” “Kristen was just attacked at our cabin.
Are you guys okay?” “Oh dear! Yes, we are perfectly fine.”
“Good. I want you to get Adalynn and go into the panic room. Shut and Tock the door. Don’t come out until I get you out. I’m just being cautious but I need to know you both are safe.” “Yes, Alpha. I’m headed there now!” Vivian said instantly before she hung up on me. I had the security cameras on my phone so I was able to make sure they got there before I looked around the property. After a quick glimpse, it appeared to be okay.
Next was Jasper. “We are just getting here. So far it looks like they abandoned ship. Men are chasing their steps in the snow. Alec, they took the bodies.” “What do you mean?” I asked.
pinching the bridge of my nose, I sat
down and tried to keep ahold of our bond. It wasn’t faulting so it was easy to do.
“I see a heart and the blood splatters on the wall tell me there are at least two if not more dead but there aren’t | any bodies.” | “Mother fucker. Get samples of the blood for DNA.” “Already done.” “Get someone watching my house to make sure we are attacked there. I have Vivian and Adalynn in the panic room.” “Already did that too. They should be there soon if not already there.” “Call me with any updates.” I said before I hung up on him.
Next was the phone call I was dreading.
It felt like I always gave him bad news.
IT took four rings but he finally.
answered in a sleepy voice. “Hello?” “We have a problem. I’m at the Mountain Ridge Hosptial. Kristen was shot but will be okay. It was in the thigh.” «The fuck?” Colt sounded wide awake now.
«What’s wrong?” I heard Penny asked in the background.
«I don’t want to say too much over the phone. I can either call you when we leave or you can get your ass here.” “I’m on my way.” Colt said.
“Make sure your house and your guards are on high alert. I would advice
penny and the kids getting to a safe room.” There was a pause before Colt talked.
“Okay.” Click! Looking at my phone, I saw the call was ended. Opening up the app for my security cameras, I saw my men were standing guard now. They had night vision binoculars and were scanning the area.
The best part of the cameras was the voice to talk feature. Hitting speak, I was able to talk to them. “You can go inside. They are in a safe room. Stay warm, take rotations to make sure no one is outside.” My warrior jumped about a mile in the air before he looked up at the cameras.
He shook his head and went inside after yelling something out to someone
else. Next was to let Vivian know there were guards in the house, not intruders. — Me: There are guards stationed around the house and inside. Stay in the panic room, all you need is in there.
Vivian replied okay within seconds.
Now it was a fucking waiting game.
Standing up, I started pacing around.
This was the worst part. T knew she was going to be okay. Our bond was as strong as ever but it hurt to see her hurt.
The girl I first met was indestructible.
The fact she managed to kill at least two men was huge. Not to mention that she was aware they were there to begin with. I was proud as hell at the progress she has made by working on opening up to me. Allowing her
emotions to come to the surface. The connection we have is the strongest it has ever been. = “Alec.” Colt’s voice shocked me. I hadn’t realized it had been a full hour since we hung up.
Nodding for him to come to the corner, I started telling him everything. “We were going to the cabin.” Colt nodded.
He was aware of the cabin, even though Kristen didn’t know that.

“When we got there, Gunther was there. He told us a basic update of what he had done and his plans on moving forward. He asked if he could visit Kara since he has accomplished something.
Gunther was on foot and soaked head to toe. Kristen dried his clothes but we weren’t going to let him walk in this weather back to your pack. So, I gave him a lift. As soon as I dropped him off,
Kristen called me and told me there were men in our cabin. She must have put the phone down because I listened to her fight before glass shattered.
Eventually, we were close enough that we could mind-link and I got her here.
Jasper is already at the cabin with warriors. He said by the blood splatter and the heart on the floor, there are at least two dead but no bodies. They are following the trail but no update yet.” “Who all knew you were going to be at the cabin?” “Just you, me, and Jasper. Kristen didn’t even know until today.” «There are only two options. We either have a mole or Gunther is working both sides again.” Gunther’s face flashed before my eyes.
The look of surprise when I told him I was going to drive him was real. “How did Gunther know we were going tobe at the cabin?”
