Tattooed Luna by Mrs Smith

Chapter 0589 "I can't leave you." Kristen was processing everything but with her leg, I wasn't sure her staying was a good choice.
"We can't put Adalynn in a situation that is unsafe either." I went over to her and knelt down on the floor.
Grabbing her hand, I tried to plead with her. "I can't do what I need to do if you and Adalynn aren't safe. Please.
Go home and stay in the safe room until I figure this out." I could feel how torn she was. She wanted to stand beside me but she needed to protect our daughter.
Neither one of us were going to leave our daughter's safety in another person's arms so our options were
limited.
Finally, Kristen landed on anger. Even trying to rein it in, she was still angry.
Not directly at me but at the whole situation. "Fine." She pulled her hand from mine and pushed me away so she could stand up.
"Ice. Don't be that way." Colt started.
"It isn't his fault." Kristen froze with her feet on the ground and her hands on either side of the cushion. "I told you from the beginning that I am not someone that will be pushed aside when things get tough. Things are getting hairy so now [ am forced to hide away while my mate is left fighting." Ignoring my hand, she pushed herself up and slowly walked to the bathroom before slamming the door.
Everyone was quiet as I stood back up.
We heard the toilet flush and the sink turn on but even after all that, she stayed in here. "Why don't you guys go pack and we will meet you down stairs." I said to Colt and Penny.
"Why doesn't she want to stay with Adalynn?" Penny asked quietly.
My head snapped to Penny. Her question pissed me off. "Excuse me?" I knew my wolf was showing. Penny started shaking and even took a step behind Colt.
Thankfully, Colt answered for me. SIE isn't about that. She was raised to be a warrior and she is being sidelined.
Kristen's instincts are to fight until death, not run away. That's why she get's hurt so often. She refused to back down from a fight, something our dad
shoved into her mind. Now, she had to go against everything she is and hide.
Yes, protecting her daughter is.
extremely important, which is why she is going to go but she is leaving her mate to defend himself. Her mate that she has already proven to protect." "Maybe it would be best if you guys left." 1 said, trying to hold in my anger.
"Penny, can you get packing? I need to talk to Alec and then I'll get the car situated." I could tell she didn't like being dismissed but whatever Colt said in their mind-link caused her to turn around and walk out the door. As soon as it was closed, Kristen stepped out of the bathroom. "Why are you still here? I thought you have shit to do?"
She wasn't using her crutches but slowly putting more pressure on her leg. "Ice, come on. Don't be angry." Colt walked over and sat on the bed.
Kristen had pulled out the suitcase and was working on tossing everything on the bed.
"puck off, Colt." She didn't even look at him.
