Chapter 0144
My eyes looked up at Penny, who was avoiding eye contact with me. Colt was standing
beside her but not touching her. “Penny?”
She looked up at me with tears in her eyes. “I swear I don’t know anything! You know I
was an orphan! You literally found me in the woods!” She was begging me to listen. “I
don’t even know who my family are!”
“The DNA was a percentage of a parent. That means, her dad loaded the gun that shot
you.” Alpha Marc clarified for me even more. “How did you find her?”
“She was in the orphan when I volunteered there. She was a teenager… almost 15 and
was getting into trouble. Sneaking out, stealing…”
“I was stealing books! It wasn’t like I was a druggy!” Penny defended herself.
“The books she took were advanced books. No one payed attention to what books she
took but that she
took them. I noticed what they were so I took responsibility for her. Making her do tasks
for me. Once she
earned some trust and showed me what she was capable of doing, I started paying her.
Not much but enough she was able to buy clothes and food. Eventually, Dad got her into a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyoung adult housing situation
and out of the orphanage.” It was like I was on autopilot.
“I don’t remember any of my family. I swear! I only remember the orphanage!” Penny had
tears in her
eyes.
“We found her on the edge of our property as a baby. No one claimed her and we put her
DNA in the system in case there was any hits. There wasn’t, until now.” Dad was looking at
the paper like it was an
alien.
“Colt, is she lying?” Alpha Marc asked.
“No. She is telling the truth. You can command her if you wish.” Colt looked up at the
ceiling in pain. This must be incredibly hard for him. His loyalty to his sister against his
mate.
“C-colt?” Penny looked betrayed at her but Alpha Marc didn’t need to be told twice. We
watched as his aura lashed out and covered Penny. She instantly fell to the ground in
submission.
“Have you told us a lie?” He commanded.
“NO!”
“Are you leaving anything out?”
“No! I love Kristen and would never betray the only sister I have ever known!”
Alpha Marc looked around at us. Everyone shook their heads before he pulled back his
aura. Penny slapped Colt’s hand away as he tried to help her up. Holding herself, she tried
to make herself as small possible.
I wanted to go to her so bad but something was stopping me. “I thought they were rogues
that shot me?”
“They were but we haven’t traced them back to who wanted to take you. We assume it
was the same
from the rogue attack here.”
“So we haven’t found Ace’s killer yet.” I added in there. “Did you find the phone?”
“We did, it is still being analysed. Looking for the IP address. It was all encrypted.” Dad
said with a
a sigh.
“So we have nothing and now Penny’s DNA caused a hit. It will now be flagged for
everyone to see and
for her family to know where she is.” I clarified.

“To be fair, they left her outside the gates, they have always known where she was.” Jacob
chimed in.
“All we know is that the gun that was used to shoot you was loaded by Penny’s dad.”
Alpha Marc stated.
“At least it wasn’t the gun that killed Ace.” I said to Alec in the mind-link. Glancing up at
him, he barely
looked down at me but didn’t respond.
“But we don’t know if they rogue that was firing the gun was her dad?” I asked.
“No.” Dad said.
“So, we could have killed him. Where is the b*dy?”
“You know we burn them. There is no way of knowing if the rogue was her dad or if he just
loaded the gun.” Dad looked at me and frowned.
In
I knew that but I was hoping I was wrong. I felt so bad for Penny. Slowly, I made my way to
Penny and sat
I I down in front of her. “Please believe me. I didn’t know. I would never betray you.” She
whispered through
her tears.
