“You know, we had so many gifts between us that I honestly don’t remember who got us those. I remember opening them. Is something wrong with them? Those were the patterns we picked out.”
That surprised me a little. Was it as simple as that? My subconscious remembered these patterns and put the babies in them? “I guess I forgot we picked those patterns out. I just really liked them.”
I wasn’t fully convinced but now wasn’t the time to get into it. “You hit your head really hard. Do you feel okay?” Ice asked me. She slipped her arm in Alec’s but kept looking at me weirdly.
“I feel like a million bucks.” I tried to give her a smile but she saw right through it. Wrapping my arm around Penny, we left first. Penny looked amazing but we walked so to accommodate her waddle.
The sounds of soft music filled the foyer. The lights were dimmed and the soft laugher was echoing off the walls. The entire vibe was laidback and fun.
Jacob came up to me as we stepped in the doorway. “Everything is on lockdown. We haven’t had any signs of a disturbance all day. I have four men at the cameras and extra guards. Just relax and enjoy the evening.”
“Where is Emmy?” Penny asked.
Jacob was all business but when Penny asked him a question, his eyes softened. “At the head table.”
“I’m going to go sit down.” Penny told me.
“I’ll go with her.” Ice said as she let go of Alec and grabbed Penny’s arm from me.
I wanted her to say beside me but I knew that wasn’t exactly possible. Instead, I settled for keeping my mind-link open with her at all times. “I want someone keeping eyes on them at all times.” I said a little more forcefully than needed.
“Already done.” Jacob showed me a little camera screen. Similar to what you would see in a baby room but this camera was following Penny’s every move. “I slipped a tracker in their dress hems. Each women has one. I’m giving this to a guard. As long as she doesn’t leave this room, eye will be on her. Even in the bathroom. Not in the stalls but where they wash their hands. I’m not a creep.”
“Here you guys go.” Jasper walked up with two separate drinks for Alec and I. The smell of bourbon filled my nose as I took a small sip.
“I agree. You did a great job planning all this. I’m sorry I haven’t been around to help.”
“You have been where you needed to be.” Penny placed her hand on my forearm.
Shoving the last bite in my mouth, I sat back and draped my arm over her chair. Pulling it close to me, she leaned against me as I sipped my drink.
“Have you spoken with Cassie or Zac?” I asked. I almost said parents but stopped myself.
“Zac is almost completely healed and Cassie is Cassie. I ordered them to stay in their house this weekend and not leave. Last thing we need is them talking to the other alphas. What you chose to disclose to them is your business.”
I was a little surprised she did that but who was I to argue with how she handled them. “Did something happen?”

Terrible writing! Pieces that are unreadable. Paragraphs missing. Poorly translated. Makes it very difficult to read and then you miss half of the story line....
Yooh there hasn't been Alec's POV from the start and having only one person's side of the story is overwhelming 😞...
