RING! “Thank you!” I muttered as I picked up my phone. “Alpha Colt.” “Alpha Colt, I am calling on behalf of the hospital. You wanted a call when you could do squestioning?” It was a nurse but she was trying to discrete.
I had completely forgotten about Gunther and Kara. “I’ll be right there.” I said and hung up. Grabbing my cell, I dialed Alec. “Yeah?” “He’s awake.” Is all I said. He knew who I meant, there wasn’t a reason to elaborate.
“Meet you there.” He said and hung up. I was already out of my office and down the hall.
I could hear a few people call out tobut I was focused and needed to get to the hospital There wasn’t a reason to really question him about where Vin would be but he could answer squestions regarding who operates at the casino. Alec must have been right behindbecause as I opened the hosptial door, he walked in a second later.
“Alpha Colt, Alpha Alec…” The nurse nodded in respect. “This way.” She turned and went down a random hallway.
“Where are we going?” I asked. This wasn’t the way we went before.
“He was moved due to needing the extra space for everyone you saved.” She said without looking back at us. Instead, she walked with a purpose down a few more hallways before stopping. “He is in there with Kara. The doctor is actually in there as well.” “Thank you.” I said and opened the door. Everyone stopped talking and looked to see who was coming in but the doctor kept going after realizing it was just me.
“… can coff later today. You can go htonight.” “What’s the verdict?” I asked the doctor.
“He is good to go. The swelling in his brain has gone and since he has woken up, he has passed all the needed testing. I’ll take the cast off his leg when you are done here but then he can go home.” “Where is home?” Gunther asked, looking at me.
The doctor took the opportunity and left the room. “That depends on your answers.” I said using my alpha voice. Kara was holding his hand but put her head down and walked over to the couch.
Gunther moved so he was sitting up straighter in bed.
“Kara said it was over, Vin was dead?” Apparently, the nurses told them. “Yes. Vin and Joe are dead.” Gunther nodded like he was trying to convince himself that he was safe. He looked over at Kara and back at me.
“What are your questions?”
“Do you know where they were making the mutant wolves?” “I didn’t. I was only part of recruiting the women here. He would havego to human pubs or homeless shelter and find swith no families.” He didn’t even blink as he answered.
“Do you know anything about a casino?” “Oh yeah. Rip owned that and he used it to finance the whole thing. The idea was really Rip’s and Darin just took it over when he was old enough. Vin was Darin’s right hand threw it all so when they died, he tried taking it over. Except, he was pissing everyone off and not paying off people like Rip would. That’s why he called in his uncle. Joe had been here weeks before I think you probably found out about it. Though, my tline might be off, head injury and all.” “What did Vin want with Penny?” “He wanted what he felt like she owed him. Darin promised Vin a lot of things that he had no intention giving out. Vin didn’t think you would find the casino because it was under the Midnight nand he wouldn’t accept that a girl was an alpha. He blamed Penny for it all since it was her mother that had Penny first. All this would have been avoided if Penny wasn’t around. Vin wanted everything Darin had.
“That was a lot of nothing.” Alec said, behind me.
“I’m not sure what to tell you. There isn’t sbig truth bomb. Vin was just trying to take everything Darin had built. He would had lost it all if it wasn’t for Joe but I wasn’t privy to any of that.” “Is there anyone else that is still alive that would cback to try to kill Penny?” I asked.
“No. I’m the last person. Though, the warriors might still hold a grudge but I haven’t talk to any of them.” “What are your intentions?” Alec asked.
“I just want to live a quiet life with Kara. I’ll join your pack.” Gunther’s eyes scrunched together.
“Penny is his alpha.” Alec muttered in realization.
Shit, he was right. She was still his alpha. “She is what?” Gunther asked.
“Penny. She is technically still the alpha of the Midnight River pack.” I clarified. “We joined the lands but we haven’t officially gotten rid of the name.” “Well, shit.” Gunther looked shocked. “So, all the warriors that are under your command?” “I’m her mate, that makesable to command them to listen.” Shrugging, it wasn’t a big deal will now.
“However, we are joining everything and the Midnight River pack will be gone.” “Probably for the best.” Kara whispered as she looked at the ground.
Alpha, I did as you asked. I went >ack under cover willingly. I let you our deaths. I $ ready to give ak life to help you so could be free my life to rom Vin. Now Vin is dead and I’m sking for my life back.” Gunther ept his back straight but he was ware his future was in my hands. Still, he wasn’t wrong. “People will not take kindly to seeing your face again.” “I’m aware. I was hoping you would let them know what I sacrificed… what we sacrificed and hopefully they could find it in their hearts to forgive.” “We could just leave the pack and never cback…” Kara said in a hopeful voice.
“No, Kara. This is your home. We have no money, no where to go. We literally the clothes on our backs. We need to at least stay for awhile or until we get back on our feet.” Gunther looked at Kara with an expression I hoped to never see again.
“You will be under probation. You each will have a job that I assign you and you will put in the tto make it up to the pack. You betrayed everyone here, Kara. Gunther, you nack are literally the enemy. The crimes I said at the trial still resinate in their hearts. It will take tand effort on your part. Tonight, I will make an announcement. There is a BBQ for everyone before they leave tomorrow.” “Where will we live?” Kara asked as silent tears ran down her face.
“You will stay in a room I assign in the packhouse.” I wasn’t sure I was making the right call but I did tell them they could have a fresh start if they went under cover for me. “I’ll talk to Penny and we can have a meeting about it later to discuss further action.” “What aboutjoining the pack?” Gunther took in what I said and accepted it all.
“At the end of your probation, we will decide on your future.” I said, firmly.
“Why are you doing this, Colt? Why not just exile us and you will never see us again!” Kara was crying. The anger in her eyes didn’t surprise me. She was going to have to face her family, her friends and her old life.
All the people she betrayed, it was coming back to bite her in the ass.
“KARA!” Gunther said, shocked. “You can’t sa-” I held up my hand to stop him from talking. “Kara, running from your choices isn’t going change anything. You had choices… both of you, You could have walked up to my office and toldwhat was going on and I would have helped you. Instead, you committed treason. Now you get to face the people you turned your back on. If you want my forgiveness, this is how you are going to do it. You don’t have a choice. If you run, I’ll hunt you down and bring you back kicking and screaming.” “What happened to Zac?” Gunther asked after a short pause.
“He has been confined to his house with Cassie. I’ll be allowing him to cout of house arrest tonight too.” “Good.” Gunther had something in his eyes that toldI wanted to be there when they cface to face.
“You did what?” Penny was looking atlike I was crazy.
Currently, we were getting ready to walk downstairs to the BBQ. She had ran hearlier and got us clothes to wear tonight. Penny was wearing a fun, light blue cotton dress. It had buttons down the front and she had put on white sneakers. Leaving her hair down, she did a light layer of makeup and looked perfect as always.
She grabbeda pair of jeans and a simple white button up, athletic fit shirt.
“What was I suppose to do. I told them if they went under cover, we would forgive them. It was the only way I could figure out how to get to Vin. Besides, they only want to be with each other.” Penny was not taking the news about Kara and Gunther as well as I hoped. “I don’t want them here. Why can’t they just be exiled and be done with it?” “For starters, you are his alpha. You hold the title and he is still part of your pack. Second, the pack will give them a hard tbut eventually, they will forgive them. If I let them go, there would always be that regret in their hearts. They need this.” “What about what I need?” Penny put her hands on her hips and looked atwith so much anger, it surprised me.
“Why are you so angry about this? I figured you wouldn’t be happy but I didn’t think you would be this angry.” Finishing buttoning my shirt, I was ready to go.
Penny crossed her arms. “I just want to forget everything. I had to give birth in a hotel, watching you fight for our lives and…” Penny closed her eyes. “I don’t want to remember and that is all I see when I see them.” Walking up to her, I pulled her into my chest. She turned her head so her makeup wouldn’t get on my shirt.
“I understand that was very traumatic for you. I didn’t enjoy it either but I have to stand by my word. If a man doesn’t have his word, how trustworthy is he?” There was a knock on the door that kept Penny from answering. Instead, she pulled away fromand walked over to the door. Afte collecting herself, she opened the door to Alec and Kristen.
“Hey! Are you guys ready to head down?” Ice asked as she looked at Penny’s dress. “That is too cute!” Kristen was wearing a maxi dress and a jean jacket with her hair in a pony tail. Alec was in jeans and a black button up. “Apparently, we are the last to head down.” He said.
“Well, let’s head down.” Penny had on a smile and waited till Kristen and Alec went first. “After you.” Kristen took Penny’s arm. “We can walk together!” Alec just shook his head and ollowed the girls. Coming in last, it vas my responsibility to shut the e loonThe loor The babies Je woping and he nannies were just hanging out, vaiting for us to leave. With two juards at the door, I was getting nore and more comfortable leaving hem for short periods at a time. As soon as we made it downstairs, the sun was starting to set. Soft lighting had turned on, music was playing and the smell of BBQ made my stomach growl. “This turned out good.” “Thank you!” Kristen guided us over to one of the head tables. She had placed multiple tables for each Alpha to sit up front. “Colt, they are ready for your speech and then we can eat and mingle.” Carson said as he walked up to me.
“Kara, are you in position?” I mind-linked her as I walked up to the podium.
“Y-yes.” She said. Her voice made it sound like she might cry at any moment. “Good. Be ready.” I said, firmly and walked up. “Hello!” I said in the microphone.
The tent was large enough that it wasn’t a bad idea to have a microphone. Within seconds, the noise quieted down and the music turned off. Kara and Gunther were in a little tent off to the side. I had asked people to put up Do Not Disturb signs so they wouldn’t be seen before I was ready for them to.
“Thank you all for coming tonight! There has been so many emotions lately and with all the ups and downs, a little relaxing was defiantly needed. I have one announcement I need to make before we continue to enjoy tonights festivities.” Looking back at Penny, she had her arms folded and wasn’t happen. Kristen and Alec had picked up on her emotions. Alec knew what was going to happen but apparently, he hadn’t told Kristen because she looked confused.
“Not that I need to explain my reasonings to anyone but I feel like everyone here deserves an explanation.” I paused trying to find the right words. “Many times, when people are in danger, you have to use the tools that are in front of you. When an opportunity presents itself, you have to take it by the horns and not look back. That is what I did. I saw an opportunity at a point in this war that could have broken the case wide open. If you are from my pack, you will remember when we held a trial for Kara, Gunther and Zac for treason. They were found guilty and sentenced to death. What you don’t know… is I faked their death.”
A loud gasp ran across the tent. “WHAT?” A few people yelled out.
“I made a deal with them. I would fake their deaths and toss their bodies at Vin’s feet. My hope was that Vin would believe I failed aback.
killing them and take them This plan worked. They were invited back at Vin’s private mansion. I have put trackers on them so we followed them there. I can go into details but the bottom line is they put their lives on the line so I could gather information.”
No one spoke for a moment so I kept going. “Their lives were over regardless. I gave them an option. Either I could kill them now or they could earn their lives back. They chose to earn their lives back and go under cover. Their sacrificed helped us gather information and ultimately eliminate Vin. There was a point that they were caught and Gunther was beaten almost to death. He made it through, however.” “Con out.” I mind-linked Kara.
Kara and Gunther slowly cout from the tent. Once people saw them, they gasped and instantly got angry. “Traitor!” “Loser!” “Should have died!” Holding up my hand, Kara and Gunther walked up behind me. They were holding hands but Kara had her head lowered in shame. Part offelt bad for them but not all of me.
“Since they completely their assignment, they can start to earn their lives back. They will hold jobs and start working on earning your trust back…. and mine. I offered the deal and now I need to be a man of my word and see to it that they try to get their lives back. I know this decision isn’t a popular one but it is morally correct. They understand that earning back your trust and forgiveness will be very difficult but that is their purpose for even being here. I will not tolerate unjust hazing. My pack will still hold their heads high and not stoop that low.”
“A-alpha? C-can I s-say something?” Kara’s voice stoppedfrom speaking.
Deciding she had nothing to lose, I handed her the microphone and stepped back. “I’m sorry.” Kara couldn’t stop the tears that ran down her face. “After Colt… I mean, after Alpha Colt found Alpha Penny, I was hurt. However, I found my mate. Gunther is my mate. He hasn’t made great choices but he was working against the only family he knew to save not onlybut Alpha Penny as well. I accept the fact that my actions were wrong. I did them out of love for my mate. I wanted to help him get free.” She had to wipe her tears on her shirt. “I grew up with all of you. You know what kind of person I am, which made my betrayal that much worse but I am begging you find it in your hearts to understand why I did it and hopefully to forgive me.” Kara turned and handed the microphone back to me. Gunther accepted Kara in his arms. Looking around, the packs were torn. Shad a sympathetic look on and swere still filled with rage. I wasn’t even sure how I felt. Maybe indifferent? I guess you have to have respect for something for them to disappoint you.
“I’m not asked for you to forgive them. I’m asked you to stick to the values we hold dear to our hearts. Anyone with questions or concerns can speak toprivately.” I paused before looking at Kara and Gunther and nodding. They walked off the podium and sat down at an empty table.
“This party is to celebrate our packs coming together. Mate bonds were formed, friendships grew and our families expanded. Remember why we are here. Remember that sense of community that a pack provides. Cherish everyone you love. Lastly, have fun and dance your tails off!” The crowd cheered as the music turned back on. Handing the microphone back, I went over to Penny, Kristen and Alec. “Why didn’t you tell me?” Kristen looked like I betrayed her.
Not wanting to toss Alec under the buss, I just took it. “I’m sorry but this was a spare of the moment thing. He had been in a coma and I’ve been a little more worried about my triplets.” That seemed to do the trick as she turned and walked off. Penny followed and they headed to get food. “Thanks.” “You owe me.” I said to Alec with a smirk.
“Whatever.” Alec just rolled his eyes and looked on. “Do you really think they will be forgiven?” “Nope but nothing like facing the consequences of your own actions.” “Death was too simple.” Alec stated. It wasn’t a question but a statement.
I saw Lars and Jace walk up to me. “Someone likes .” Jace said.
“I like being fair.” “Your dad would have been proud.” I heard Carson’s voice from behind me.
“Thanks.” I said, shaking his head. “I have seen all the alphas except Anthony.” “I saw him a little bit ago? Why?” Carson looked around, like he was trying to remember when he saw him last and scanned the crowd.
“No reason. Just wanted to know if he showed. He’s been acting weird.” “He is always weird.” Jace muttered.
“I have seriously though about cutting ties with him.”
“So, has anyone had anyone ask to join their packs?” Lars changed the subject. “I’ve had a few, however, I think it was because of my beta’s mate.” “They probably felt more comfortable that way.” Jace said.
“Let’s go get sfood.” Carson said. His eyes have been watching the line and it finally seemed to get shorter.
“Sounds good!” Jace didn’t need telling twice as he took off. Penny and Kristen were making their way back to our table. 1 “I did. It all looked so good.” “The fried okra looks the best.” Penny laughed as she popped one in her mouth.
“It’s better with ranch.” Kristen teased Penny.
2 3 “What?” I asked, suddenly in a better mood.
“Where did you go?” She asked.
“Just trying to decide what tattoo I want to get.” I gave Ice a genuine smile. Yeah, everything was back to normal.

Kristen POV Huge white snowflakes fell out of the dark sky and onto the grass below. These last six months have been as peaceful as it is when you watch the snow cover the trees. There hasn’t been any threat on our lives and my shop was growing larger than I ever expected.
Currently, Alec was giving Adalynn a bath so I had a few moments to myself. Colt and Penny were going to cover for dinner. Wanting to relax a little, I grabbed the bottle of Jack and poured myself a glass. Now, I was standing by the balcony windows, watching the white bullshit collect on my precious grass.
“All done, mommy!” Alec cup behindwith our daughter. She looked just likebut had her dad’s piercing green eyes. Adalynn was such a daddy’s girl that if he was in the room, she didn’t want me. Though, nothing melts your heart faster than watching your mate bond with your children.
“You look so pretty!” I said with a big smile. She was all dressed in a zip up onesie, ready for bed. “I got a bottle for you!” Holding the bottle out, she reached out and grabbed it, greedily.
“She has a little tooth coming through.” Alec said as he tried to help her put the bottle in her mouth. Her eyes instantly rolled back and closed so Alec cradled her in his arms.
“She isn’t acting like it hurts her.” I said watching them.
The door bell rang, interruptingtrying to get a look. “Can you get that? It’s probably Vivian.” Vivian was our personal nanny. Since I was a little jealous of Colt getting our mother’s house, Alec builtone. We have only be in it for a little over a week now but I loved it.
It was like a ranch style meets barndominium. When you walk in, the foyer was large with an office on one side and a closet on the other. When you kept walking, it opened up to a massive room that included the livingroom, kitchen and informal dinningroom. Stairs were off to the side that lead to a loft. The balcony looked over the entire room but only a bathroom and closet was up there. Stairs went down into a man’s cave area. Complete with a groom and bedrooms. The master bedroom was on the other side of the livingroom. We had a huge walk in closet and bathroom. There was two other bedrooms on the main floor, each had their own bathrooms. With a three car garage, you can either enter the house through the pantry or through the mudroom, depends on your needs. All the trim was treated dark stained oak. The flooring was grey with brown hues but a matted finish so whatever the kids did to it was going to be well hidden. The walls were either a gray, sage or a shade of blues. It was my safe place.
The wall to vaulted ceiling windows made great views when I was stuck inside. Although, I hated the snow, it was very pretty to watch. Alec had lit a fire and we turned the lights down low for a romantic quiet evening.
