Chapter 0588 “Come to my office in two days.” Maddox glared at me as we pulled into his home base. The sun was starting to rise, and the weight of what happened still pressed down on our shoulders.
“Yeah.” It was all I could say as we piled out of his vehicle and got into our own. Jace didn’t waste any time as he pulled out to head home.
“You guys need to put your betas on high alert for any attacks.” Jace said after about an hour of driving with complete silence.
“Did you do any research on this guy before you decided to use him?” Lars was pissed.
Jace looked back at him before he answered. “We have used him for odds and end stuff for years. At least my dad did. This was my first time using him.” “Why did your dad cut ties with your uncle?” Lars didn’t respond to Jace.
“He never really said what happened, just that he was a lose cannon that didn’t have any regards to safety.” I tried to rack my brains to figure out what happened or if dad had ever said anything but I came up blank.
Thankfully, we were pulling into the pack grounds. “I’m taking Emily and we are leaving. Alec, I'll be in touch.” Lars said. He jumped out of the SUV before it fully came to a stop.

“Alec!” Kristen yelled my name as we walked through the front door.
“Upstairs.” Kristen was taken aback by my voice. She was still on crutches.
After taking a few steps, I felt instantly terrible and turned back to carry her.
“What's wrong? What happened?” She asked as I took the crutches from her. I was very much aware of the crowd that was now watching us. It was so early in the morning that I was a little surprised by how many people were
awake already. “Why is Colt covered in blood?” “I’ll tell you everything upstairs.” I repeated before scooping Kristen up.
She grabbed her crutches from me and made it easier for me to walk up the stairs.
Kristen put her hand on my chest and started examining me. “Are you hurt?” “I’m fine.” Physically anyway.
Emotionally, I was nervous and scared.
By the time we made it to the room, Colt and Penny were already standing at our door.
| “Where are the kids?” I asked as I set Kristen down and unlocked the door.
“Getting breakfast.” Penny said
