“J-just please don’t kill him. That will kill me too.” Kara hiccuped as her tears ran dry.
“How did you even meet Gunther?” I asked openly. I still had an audience and Jacob was standing beside me with as much
anger in him as I felt.
“After....after you mated Penny.... I... um... I went to a bar to get drunk. My heart was in pieces and you didn’t even seem to
care. Just tossed me to the side like a piece of trash. So, I went to get drunk like everyone else does. Only, I was dancing and
the mate bond is strong. We never even said a word to each other until after we were marked. I think it took us both by surprised.
Now, we are in a situation that we don’t know how to fix.” Kara kept her eyes pointed downward like she was embarrassed about
it.
“Why didn’t you just come to me? You could have easily came up to me and explained the situation. All this could have been
avoided. You put your life on the line.” I was so disappointed in her actions that I felt like I didn’t even know her in this moment.
She used to be a fighter. Now, she just looks like a broken down person.
“What was I suppose to do? Walk up to my ex-boyfriend who easily cased me away... tell him that I got drunk, lost my virginity
and mated with my mate who was our enemy? That would be a nice conversation.” She rolled her eyes as she started feeling
some anger.
“That is exactly what you should have done. You know I did not cast you to the side. We were not mates, I told you weeks before
that we needed to take a step back and see where our future went. We both knew that if we weren’t mates that we would break
up. We had multiple conversations about it. It hurt me too that we weren’t mates but Penny is who I was meant to be with. She is
the one I gave my full actions.
“What are you going to do with me?” Kara finally asked after a moment of silence.
“You will be placed in the cells into you are questioned and then I will decide your fate.”
She didn’t even argue as the guards picked her up and carried her inside. Jacob and I stood silent for a few moments, just
looking at the woods. My guards were now back at their post, waiting for us to come back inside before closing the gates.
“Colt, I got the girls and Alec headed to the house.” Jacob finally said.
“Alec?”
“He left against medical advice. Doc just finished stitching him shut but he said he is fine so he is leaving.”
Shaking my head, I just walked pasted him and got into the drivers seat. Can’t say I wouldn’t have done the same. Besides, he
did say this one wasn’t as bad as the first time.
I wasn’t surprised we drove up at the same time as they did. Kris tried to help Alec out but he tried to act like he wasn’t in pain
and help her instead. Jasper helped Penny out of the car before I could get there.
“Did Jasper tell me that Gunther and Kara showed up?” Alec asked as we walked inside. I helped Penny to her chair an put a
blanket around her.
“Let’s talk outside.” I said and turned.
“No.” Penny said quietly.”
“No?” I turned and looked at her. The room went silent, waiting to see how this was going to play out.
“It’s okay. I want to know.” Penny said, her voice barely above at whisper.
“Are you sure?”
“I am.” Penny nodded and crossed her arms.
“Okay.” Kris nodded and sat down as we stayed standing. “How’s the arm?” I asked, Alec.
“I’ll live.” Alec blinked a few times and Ice just rolled her eyes at him.
