Chapter 0177
“And that Emmy, is how your are suppose to drive.” I teased as we got out. She stuck her tongue out at me, making me laugh as I tossed my towel down. Sl*pping off my cover and fl*p flops, I jumped right in.
I heard a splash beside me. As my head broke the surface, two more splashes echoed. “This feels amazing.” I said swimming over to Alec. He grabbed my hand and pulled me tightly against him.
“It really does.” Emmy said as she hung onto Jasper as well. “Ice, I’ve been meaning to ask, how is Colt and Penny doing?”
My b*dy tensed around Alec. He started rubbing my back as I turned to look at Emmy. I saw Jasper narrow his eyes but he didn’t comment. “Really good. She has struggled a little with changing into the role, I know you can understand but she is doing great.”
“Yeah, it is really hard.” Emmy was oblivious to my lie. Jasper, was not. Thankfully, he didn’t call me out on it. I couldn’t tell if it was because Alec mind-linked him or just because he knew better. Either way. I
was grateful.
“I can be for sure. I’m excited for prom. That dress I have is killer.” Changing the subject, Alec k*ssed my
cheek. He was basically holding me like you would a baby. He could touch and I could not so it was nice.

Jasper was doing the same for Emmy.
“Me too. I want to dance. It’s been forever since we were able to.”
“Hopefully things settle dow-” Alec’s phone started ringing. Leaving me alone, he swam to the edge and
got out.
“Hello?” He answered. He was quiet for a moment before answering. “Okay.”
“What happened?” I asked as he sl*pped in. He walked up to me and pulled my face to his.
“You were right. There was about a dozen rogues they found. Two are still alive and being brought to our cells. You save a lot of people today. Including us.” He k*ssed me hard as I melted into him.
“That’s crazy.” Emmy was in shock. “To think of what could have happened.”
“Don’t. You can’t do that.” Jasper said as he pulled her around to him. They went off into their own part of
the pond and we went into ours. Although we could see eachother, we ignored one another.
“Oh, Alec. I can’t believe that happened.” I said as I looked into his eyes.
“I’m proud of you for listening to your gut.”
“Thank you. I just… I’m ready for this week to be over. However, I have a feeling things are just getting started.” I whispered as I laid my head on his chest for comfort.
“Just know that I will always keep you safe.” Alec held me close for a few moments until he tilted my head up for a k*ss. It was soft at first but deepened. Soft moans met our ears from the other side of the
pond.
