“So, that’s the plan? Alec somehow separate Adalynn from Ann and Anthony and run?”
“As far as I’m aware.”
“At least she will be safe in anything happens to us.”
“Colt wrote a Will. If he dies, Alec will take over the pack with my assistance.”
“WHAT?” I turned to looked down at her. She was working on my ass so I almost knocked her down.
“What?”
“Colt wants Alec to take over the pack? What about you?”
Penny pushed me back around. “Kristen, I’m not an Alpha. I can’t make those kind of decision. Besides, he will only be handling things until the boys are old enough to take over. I want to focus on my projects and raising the boys. Not the stress of running a pack. Of course, I’ll still do day to day stuff but what do I know about training a warrior?”
It made sense. “Why do you mean boys?”
“Well, Colt doesn’t want to tell the kids what order they were birthed into. He said that drove a wedge between you guys growing up and since we have two boys, he thinks it will be worse. He wants to train both boys to be alphas and see which one is better or just give it to both of them.”
“What about Eliana?”
“He said she can be part of it but I don’t want to raise her like that if she doesn’t want to. You were forced into it and I want her to have a choice.” Penny sighed like she was exhausted from this conversation. They must have had multiple conversations about this.
“Everything will work out the way it is suppose to.” I told Penny that but it is something I kept repeating to myself. Why this needed to happen, I wasn’t sure but the Moon Goddess must have a reason.
“I’m sure it will.” Penny put a little more cream on before she stood up. “All done. Now you just need to stand there for an hour or so and then we will rinse you off.”
“Rinse me off… how?” My eyes went to the chemical shower head in the corner. Nothing about this was good.
“Unless you want to walk to my shower, you are using that.”
“Why didn’t we just do this in your room?” Dropping my arms, I just looked around for something to do… or to sit.
“In cases you reacted badly to this, I could rinse you off easily and there is epi in here.” Penny sat down after washing her hands and opened a bag of chips.
“I really hate you right now.”
“The alternative is if you died, I’ll take your anger.” Penny gave me a whatever shrugged and popped a chip into her mouth.
“Who is all going with us?”
“No one.” Penny looked me dead in the eye. “You will literally be on your own. Once you get down there, all you have is Alec, Colt and the scout, whoever that is.”
