Chapter 0004
The line wasn’t long so I was able to get my tray and find a seat rather quickly. The cafeteria was like all the rest. Each pack sat in their own corner and humans filled in the rest.
“Ice!” Jacob called out and waved me over.
“Girl, you don’t look too bad.” Emmy said looking at my l*p.
“I’ve had worse.” I shrugged. I felt safe here with them all. My own personal b*dy guards.
“Did you talk to dad?” Colt asked.
“A little before Andrew came in”
“What punishment did he give you?” Emmy asked looking nervous.
“Nothing… yet.” The hamburger tasted bland but I welcomed the food. The conversation filtered to something else as my mind went to all the things I needed to do.
“Kris, you in?” Ace asked, snapping me out if my thoughts.
“What?”
“Going to the club tomorrow.” Today was Friday and usually we go out on Saturday’s.
“I dont have a dress. You guys keep spilling your drinks in them!” Narrowing my eyes at them.
“We can go shopping tonight!” Emmy clapped her hands together.
“Can’t, I have a tattoo.”
“It’s okay, I’ll go for us both. I know your size!”
“Dont you dare get me anything pink.” I warned as I pointed my knife at her.
Everyone laughed and I actually felt myself relax a little. Going out always helped me relax and ignore my problems.
All too soon, lunch was over. Standing up, I emptied my trap and went to my next class. None of my friends were in my classes. So I always sat by myself.
This was a college level accounting class. In total, one three other students qualified to be in here. Until today.
Alec walked in right as I sat down with Jasper in tow. Since class still had a few minutes, they sat next to me.
“Are you in all the advanced classes?” Alec asked.
“Yes.”
“Why this one?” He pushed
“I own my own shop and you wonder why I am in accounting?” Lifting an eyebrow at him.
“What happened to your l*p?” Jasper asked.
Alec’s eyes instantly went to it and the anger in his eyes was clear. “Nothing.”
“And your knuckles?” Jasper pushed.
“Lets get started!” Mr. Engle started taking, saving me from answering.
“Before we begin, Ms. Kris, can I count on you this year?” He asked me.
“Its on my to-do list.” I confirmed.
I felt Alec give me a sideways glance but otherwise, they left me alone. Thankfully, when class was over, the teacher wanted to speak with Alec so I was able to sl*p away undetected.
That is, until 4pm when he will be in my shop. Which is in thirty minutes.
Currently, I was sitting on my front desk chair. I had to take his drawing and move it to transfer paper. The guys hadn’t shown up yet and neither has my dad.
I was just printing it out when the door opened. “Hello.”
Alec and Jasper walked in the front door. I didn’t really uncomfortable about them. Maybe I should but I didn’t.
“Hey, use the bathroom if you need to. Do you have the paperwork and money?”
“Right here.” Alec placed the paperwork and the cash on the desk.
“Perfect.” Taking the paperwork out, I looked it over to make sure his signature is where I needed it.
Alec went to the restroom. “This place is yours?” Jasper asked as I finish counting the money.
“Yup. Those are all my work.” Jasper was fl*pping through my book.
“Impressive.”
The door open and the guys walked in. “Colt, this is Jasper, Alec’s future beta. Jasper, this is my twin Colt. We are Alpha Brian’s kids. Then future beta Ace and gam ma Jacob.” Jasper shook their hands when Alec walked back in.
“Colt.” Alec greeted and shook their hands again.
“Ready?” I asked Alec.
“Yeah.”
“Take your shirt off and lay face down.” He did as I asked and I started opening my tools.
“How do you guys like it so far?” Colt was trying to make small talk.
“Different but nice.” Jasper said.
“You all look like a pole is stuck up your as ses, relax and take a seat.” I eyed all four of them. Alec snorted but his head was in the hole.
Taking the stencil, I positioned it and pressed it down. Slowly peeling it back, I made sure it looked centered. “Go look in the mirror and see how you like it.”
Alec got up and walked over to the 360 mirrors I had installed. Dam n his b*dy was s exy as f u c k. His muscles were perfectly shaped.
“Looks good.”
He laid back down and I got to work. To his credit, he barely flinched as I started.
“Ice, did you get the emails from the teachers?” Colt asked me.
“Yeah, two of them even asked me in class.”
“Yeah, what was that about?” Jasper asked.
I barely glanced up at him. “Miss Perfect over here has been in charge of organizing the school events for the last five years now.” Jacob always was bitter I was smarter than him. He was stu pid smart too but not like me.
“Five years? You’re only a senior.” Jasper was confused.
“Its really not a big deal. I excelled at school so I took over the events. I don’t do all the planning but most of it. I have assistants who do the leg work. I write the test, do the spelling bees, prom.” I shrugged. It was really me telling a handful of students what to do.
“You have done this since 8th grade?” Alec asked.
“Yeah. One of my many talents. Anyway. There is a spelling bee in a month that I needed to pick out words and prom is coming up. Plus our end of the school year prep rally.”
“Ice, we need to head out, are you okay?” Colt asked in the mind link.
“Yeah, I’m good.” I responded.
They all stood up, “see you at supper.” Colt waved goodbye before leaving. Ace gave me one last look before he took off too.
“That your boyfriend?” Jasper smirked.
“No. I’ve known all those guys since we were born. Actually our birthdays are within a week of each others.”
“So, how smart are you?” Jasper pried.
“Excuse me?” I gave him a look that said how s tupid he was for asking.
“You are in all the advanced classes and do all that work…”
“I’m a mysterious woman.” The door opened and my dad walked in. “Hey, dad.”
Jasper immediately stood up and Alec made a move to do the same. “Stay where you are.” Dad waved Alec off. He lowered himself back down but his b*dy was stiff. Dad shook Jaspers hand.
“Nice to meet you, Alpha Brian.” Jasper’s demeanor changed.
“Relax boys. Just came to check on my daughter.” Dad walked up and looked at my work. “Nice piece. Who drew it?”
