To protect what's mine (Amalie) novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164 Markus

“Okay, Rosebud, you color,” I say as I set Rose down on the floor.

Rose nods her head and walks over to the couch. She opens the bag and starts to pull out her things. She pulls out her coloring book and markers. Rose lays on he stomach and opens the book. She starts humming as she works.

Cal smiles softly down at Rose before he goes to work on pack business.

I walk to my desk and sit down. I login into my desktop and start to work on schedules. With school out for the summer, I need to add this past year’s juniors to the schedule. I add the graduated seniors to the roster and send it off to Nick. He will look at it and get back to me after he finishes morning training.

I open a new email from my best friend. Oh boy, what does James want now as he did not mind link me himself. I open the email, not entirely sure what to expect.

I sigh at the email. James wants an increased budget for fireworks. James went overboard last year, and Cal had decreased his budget for this year. What am I supposed to do? James loves to shoot off fireworks. I finish reading the email and sigh again.

James wrote that Ama has not watched the firework display in years. He then wrote; Rose has never been able to watch fireworks.

“Manipulative bastard,” I grumble to myself.

“I’m assuming that you read our Beta’s email,” Cal says as he looks over at me.

“Yes,” I sigh as I close the email. He knew that if he wrote that, I would give him the pack credit card and tell him to get as much as he wants. I have to stay strong, so he does not bankrupt our pack. “I’ll talk with him later.”

“Talk with who later?” James asks as he walks into our office. He plops down on the couch. “Hey Rosie, what are you up to?”

“Not Rosie,” Rose growls as she looks up from her coloring.

“Right, sorry, Rose,” James says as he holds his hands up in mock surrender.

Rose nods her head before she rips out the page she had been working on and hands it to James.

“Ooh, that looks great,” James says.

Rose climbs to her feet and comes over to me. “What you doin?” Rose asks as she looks at the computer screen.

“Pack business,” I tell her as I place a kiss on her head.

“I help?” she asks as she looks up at me with puppy eyes.

“Sure, you can help me pick out fireworks for the celebration in two weeks,” James cackles as he picks Rose out of my lap. He then bolts from our office before I am unable to say anything.

Pack work goes slowly as we work. I try my hardest not to think about Ama. About how she is a few halls over in the kitchen getting lunch ready. About how gorgeous she looked in her sun dress this morning. About how she is carrying our pup.

I glance at the clock on my computer. 11:30 it read. We’ve been here less than two hours, and I am already bored. I want to go home and snuggle with my beautiful mate.

‘Can’t we just set all the paperwork on fire and be done with it?‘ Aziz grumbles.

‘Fire is not the answer,‘ I answer him with a sigh.

‘We still need to burn down the Remington house,‘ my wolf points out.

‘Yes, we do,‘ I growl with satisfaction.

“What has you so happy about?” Cal asks as he looks at me.

“Thinking about burning down Thomas and Marie’s house,” I say with a smile that doesn’t meet my eyes.

“After we figure out how they were able to keep us from finding Amalie,” he tells me. “I’ve been thinking about it. Amalie said that there were times when she could hear people talking, but no one could smell her scent. I want to know how they blocked her off so completely.”

“You thinking that the witch did something?” I ask him. I mean it would make sense. She has had a hand in keeping Ama from us for a very long time. “You know they moved shortly before Ama was locked up.”

Cal nods his head before he is typing on his computer.

I get up and walk over to him to see what he is doing. He has open the public records of homes that people owned. He clicks a few times before he finds Thomas and Marie’s current home. Cal clicks a button to see who used to own their home.

The information has been deleted. There is nothing about who built or owned the home previously. It doesn’t tell us how many rooms or bathrooms there are. It doesn’t even state if there is a basement or attic. All it states is the date of when Thomas and Marie took ownership of the house.

“Dad deleted the information,” I growl at the computer.

“How could he, this is a public record?” Cal challenges me.

“I don’t know, but he had to have,” I say. Great, the mystery gets worse.

“I’ll look into it,” Cal assures me.

:

I nod my head and go back to my desk. I slam my head down. “Why is it every time we figure something out, something else pops up?” I ask in defeat.

“Alphas! I demand that you do something about those new Omegas that Michelle hired!” Sheila screeches as she storms into our office.

“You need to learn your place,” Cal growls dangerously.

“You are not the head Omega. Sheila, you have been walking a very thin line for a long time,” I growl at her.

“One of the new Omegas tried to dump scolding hot soup on me. If it wasn’t for my wolf’s fast reflexes, I would have been burnt!” Sheila tries to defend.

“Why didn’t you tell Michelle this?” I sigh at her.

“Because she is off lazing about. I’ve been having to train the new Omegas and run the kitchen,” she shouts.

“We shall go investigate,” Cal sighs as he stands up.

‘What?‘ I demand over the link.
