Chapter 0332
“Colt?” A sheer panic rose in me for a second before Colt emerged with a blanket and a pillow.
“Did you think I was leaving you?” Colt laid the blanket out and dropped the pillow. Getting down, he padded the area beside him.
“Might have ran through my head.” Sitting down, I was feeling a little awkward. Still mad that I didn’t want to cuddle but the scene in front
of me was too hard not to.
Colt sat up and pulled something out of his pocket. “I made this for you.”
“You made this?” It was a boho style bracelet with brown wooden beads looped together with a dark brown rope. On the end was a little wolf, carved out of wood.
“Well, when I was like twelve. Carving is actually a hobby. I don’t know if you remember that. I know we didn’t exactly run in the same circle but there was one night. I was out in the woods, sitting against an old
tree…”
“I went for a night walk and saw you.” It was like a light bulb went off in my head. “You had a bl oody lip and told me you were just getting
fresh air..”
“That’s right. I was hacking away at a twig.” Colt filled in.
“You said when you found your mate, you would treat her like a princess. Show her all the sights and never allow her to be abused.” It was like my heart fell out of my stomach. That was the night An n broke Kristen’s arm. He was blowing off steam and wasn’t in a good mood. “I was actually scared of you that night.”
when you left. I vowed to give it to my mate as a reminder of my promise I made to myself. A promise to treat you like a princess. A promise to show you all these sights and be the man you needed.” Colt pulled my arm towards him as he put it on and tightened it.
“I can’t believe you remember that night.” I was in shock.
“I know the timing wasn’t good with Kristen and I am deeply sorry but I never forgot about giving this to you. I had a date planned to do this but when Tanya showed up and my focus moved from Kristen’s safety, to our pack’s safety and now to your safety. I called you my princess because you are. You are my everything. You and this baby. I want to protect you. I had dreams of coming home to my mother’s house with you standing over the stove, fizzy hair, kids running around and the smell of apple pie in the air. I never wanted to to worry but just be happy. However, I know that is fueled by how I grew up and the abuse Kristen endured. If that isn’t the life you want, that okay. You can come to every meeting. Be part of every decision o whatever you want. Just tell me and I’ll make it happen.”
I didn’t have any words. My body reacted on its own as I threw myself forward. It took Colt by surprise as he fell backwards. His arms wrapped around me as my arms wrapped around his neck. My lips. smashed against his as he tried now to laugh.
“I love the bracelet.” I whispered against his lips.
“Good. I’ve been saving it for years. How fitting it was meant for you.” Colt rolled us to I was on the bottom. Colt’s finger moves up and down my cheek. “You have no idea how much I love you.”
“So you have said.” I teased as I looked into his eyes.
“I don’t think love is even a strong enough word for it.” His hand moved to the top of my head as he moved my hair away from my

“I’m not sure I want to be part of everything pack related. I want to focus on my side project and raising our family but I want to be part of everything when it comes to Gunther or Vin.”
