Chapter 0072
“Okay, let’s go.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“Just like that?” It felt like a trap.
“What did you expect? For me to lock you in here?” Alec stood up and walked over to me.
“Well, I expected you to try.” I said, slowly. Alec walked up to me and sighed as he leaned
down to
whisper in my ear.
“When I lock you in here, you won’t be complaining. You will be moaning my name till
morning.” My
panties instantly got wet as he leaned back satisfied and walked towards the door.
“Coming?”
“More than one way “I muttered as I walked past him. A chuckled erupted in his chest as
he slapped my

as s. Trying to glare at him just made him smirk more.
We walked to the car and got in, which is when I started questioning him. “Why are you so
chill about
going to clean that place up? I figured I’d be fighting you on this.”
“Well, I knew how important this is to you. Plus, I have a team dropping off a dumpster for
us to clean it out. Also, there are many volunteers that are coming to help.”
“You had this organized?” My jaw dropped. Alec leaned over and closed it.
“I’ll have that mouth open later. However, I’ll take partial credit. Colt will take the rest.”
“What do you mean take it apart?*
“I’m sorry but nothing is salvageable. You will have to do a complete upgrade. Use this
chance to change the layout or whatever you want differently.”
ither are you.
“Alec, I don’t have that kind of money. My dad isn’t paying for it and neither are
“Just wait and see how you feel when you get there.” Alec made it sound like there was
something I didn’t know. As much as I wanted to continue tattooing, I wasn’t sure I wanted
to be in that location. I guess if Alec was my mate, I wouldn’t be traveling. That shop
might be my get away like it has been. It’s not like I can make a shop on the packs
territory as humans and other packs can’t just walk into it.
As we pulled up, the yellow caution tape had been removed. People were coming and
going, carrying
trash with them.
“What is all this?” I asked to no one in particular.
“Hey, Kristen!” Penny ran up to me. She had a light layer of sweat on her l*p. “Glad you
made it. We have at
surprise for you!”
“We?” I looked at Alec. He leaned against his car as he watched Penny drag me to see.
So many people were here, cleaning glass, vacuuming, dusting, tearing down the broken
sheetrock and
ripping out the bathroom. “These are…”
“That’s right. Everyone here is someone you have employed, or helped in some fashion.
Here.”
Penny handed me a folded piece of paper. Opening it, it was a bank account. There was
$6,523.00 in there.
“What’s this?”
“This is your money. All those times you filled in at the bar and didn’t take your tips. All
that work you did for the school and never took the money. They had been giving it to me

better use for that money.”
Words were not forming as I looked between the money and at everyone helping. As they
came out, they all said hello. My b*dy jumped when Alec placed his hand on my lower
back.
“Come inside.” He muttered as he gently pushed me inside. Dust filled the air as the smell
of sweat f my nose. The damaged wall was just studs, the bathroom was fully gutted and
the floor was about go
“Should be finished in a few hours.” Penny smiled. “What do you think?”
“… I don’t know what to say..
“Say thank you.” Alec whispered in my ear.
“Y-yes, thank you!” It all was surreal. “Where do you want me?”
“Over here.” Penny pulled me back outside and went to her car. “Take these home. These
are samples of flooring, wall colors, cabinets everything. I need you to decide what you
want so I can order it. Do you
want to
change the layout?”
