“One man against a whole army? I doubt he would have made it very far. Besides, he had
to keep our Penelope safe. Rip never stopped looking for her. Even with Darin betraying
him every chance he got. Should focus more on his own son and not my daughter.” Cassie
obviously still held some resentment.
“How did Darin betray him?”
“Darin would force his friends to do things for him. More than once.
hear
they would argue about it in the cell. They thought no one wou filled
or at least no one that could repeat it. Darin’s head was really filled
with dust.”
“Things like what?”
“Not really sure. I think they had a side business going but I never heard enough details.
Rip would come in b itching about having to handle his son and with I would just behave to
make his life easier.”

“You seem to really love Zac, though.” I said, simply.
“I do. I would do anything for him. He kept our daughter safe all these years at his own
personal sacrifice. I think he lost so much of his humanity because of it. The Zac you see
today is not the man he was twenty years ago.”
“I could imagine so.”
“She is now the Alpha and is carrying my grandchild. Though, I would still lay down my life
for Zac. If I had to break into the worlds largest prison to save him, I would.” Cassie
vowed.
“Even if that meant you would die?”
“Exactly. When you are in love, you will die for that person. Marking

physical but your head doesn’t ignore the evil that men can possess. After while, you are
faced with a choice. You can either decide love is blind, adapt to their way of thinking and
turn your emotions off or you fight against the bond. No love is easy but knowing you have
someone beside you that is wiling to die for you, you hold onto that.”
That struck deep in me. Did I believe Gunther was a good man? Is he worth saving?
Thinking back to all the times we have shared, hel treated me decent. He was rough
around the edges but growing up in a life like that, I can’t be surprised. He said he wanted
out and hasn’t
shown me otherwise.
“What is going inside your head, child?” Looking up, Cassie was looking at me with
knowing eyes.
“I’m just trying to find my path in this world…. for my happily ever after.” I said briefly.
Last thing I needed was to say too much and tell her something I shouldn’t.
“Just follow your heart.” Cassie smile warmly at me as she went to stand up.
“Here! Let me help.” I said as I instantly jumped up. Grabbing her hand, I helped her
stand.
“Thank you. I’ve healed but there is still a lingering pain every now and
then.”

feeling that I needed to not be here anymore.
“Come find me anytime. I enjoyed having someone to talk to!” Cassie waved bye to me as
she turned and walked away. Without waiting, I took off in the opposite direction.

I was never so happy to be back at the packhouse. The whole Victorian house was just
creepy. Even though I didn’t go inside, the whole thing just had a bad vibe to it. Almost like
a heaviness that kept. me from breathing freely.
“Oh, Penelope!” Cassie’s greeting brought me out of my thoughts. We were walking into
the packhouse as she was walking out.
“Hello, how is your day?” I asked, trying to be polite.
“Actually, very well, thank you. Are you busy today or can you meet. me for a late lunch?”
Cassie looked at me hopeful.
“Sure. I can do that. I have a meeting to go to right now but then I will meet you in the
garden?” I offered.
