Chapter 0131 I’m not sure if shocked was the right word to explain what I was feeling. I did understand what she was saying but I couldn’t help but feel hurt. They were keeping Alec from being alpha because Darin wanted me. My eyes dropped to her half drank tea. The dirty brown water reflected how I felt. “What aren’t you saying, mom?” Alec spoke firmly. “Watch your tone.” Luna Erin glared right back. “At the end of the day, Darin wants Kristen. Marc and my concern is that he will challenge you for her. If you are alpha and luna, that might include that position. We don’t want him to be able to challenge for them together. If he wants to challenge the alpha, that is one thing but if she is the luna….” That would include the pack too. It was like a slap in the face. “Anyone could challenge for that at any time.” Alec didn’t change the attitude in his voice. “Why wasn’t dad here for this conversation?” “Sometimes you dad can be…. too aggressive. This wasn’t meant to upset you but we did want to be transparent with you two. You deserve that much. I’m sorry we are in this position. I want nothing more than for you two to take over and be happy. We still have a pack we have to run and protect. This isn’t want I wanted for either of you but we are trying to make the best out of this situation. You wanted to travel, we will cover the cost. Please just think about it?” Luna Erin stood up. “I will see your choices get honored for your commitment ceremony. We will need to have a dress fitting soon. Letknow what you both have decided.” She walked out of the library and quietly closed the door. Alec stood up and started pacing with his hands on his hips. “Did you know?” I asked quietly.
“No, I swear. They had asked if you were wanting to travel and if you still planned on tattooing. I told them I wasn’t sure about the traveling since we never spoke about it but I told them you would be tattooing still.” Alec turned and looked at me. “I’m so sorry.” Alec cup toand kneeled in front of me. Taking my hands in his, his eyes searched
mine. Pulling my hands free of his, I slid around him and stood up. I knew that action hurt him as if filtered through the bond but I didn’t even know how I felt about it all. She wasn’t wrong but it was still like I got stabbed in the back. I was keeping Alec from being alpha. My brain was sca ttered as I kept trying to figure out what I was feeling and how I wanted to respond to this situation. “Why don’t we head to the shop to see the progress?” I said finally. Alec didn’t say anything but got up and opened the door for me. He was more angry than anything but ! couldn’t tell where it was directed. My best guess was at his parents. Probably a little fromrejection opened the car door forand waited until I got in before closing it gently. However, he slammed his door shut and floored the gas as he took off. Between his emotions and my own, I wasn’t sure what to do. Taking their offer of a vacation seemed wrong. As much as I wanted to look over at Alec, I kept my eyes out my window. The trees were flying by, helpingpush everything out from my mind. Resting my head against the head rest, I forced my emotions to shut down. I didn’t want to think or feel. Turning my attention to my shop and what that was going to look like in the future. Alec had to d to park down the street since there was so many cars parked on the street. As soon as he turned off the car, I opened my own door and got out. The wind was blowing, makingsmell the sawdust. It was a smell that said they were making progress. Alec cup tobut didn’t try to touch me.
