Tattooed Luna

Chapter 408

“Did she want to do this?” Penny asked.

“Not really but she didn’t have much of a choice. She wanted to clear her name so this was her task.” I had very little emotion in my voice. when talking about her. She was just another pack member.

“What if they get killed?” Penny asked.

“Gunther was going to get killed by my hand or Vin’s. At least this way he will have a chance at a life. Kara, well she was looking at a life of either banishment or jail. Regardless of her reasons, she still decided to help Vin. What would have happened if we didn’t leave fake information for her to give him? She would have possibly taken something very serious and costed many lives. That isn’t something you just slap on the wrist. As much as I sympathize with her situation, she could have walked up to me and told me it all. Instead,

she went behind my back.”

“And Zac?” Cassie asked.

“Zac was pis sed he was caught. I know you both are mated but domestic life isn’t for him. He was eager to get back out there and what he could to save Penny. Again, I absolutely hate his method. but as long as it keeps Penny safe, I am going to turn a blind eye… or until he crosses a line.” I was talking more to Cassie anyone else.

“Why were you so against it?” Ice asked Alec.

“We let Gunther walk. He could go back to his ways extremely easily. We literally let him go. After all his crimes, he could easily say, f uck you and betray his word. His word doesn’t even mean s hit to begin with. I wanted to kill Gunther, banish Kara and let Zac go back out there.”

“Is there not a way to forgive Kara?” Penny asked. “Surely she could go through some punishment and then be forgiven.”

“Penny, she literally only asked you for a job so she could get close to you. She wanted a job in the buildings you built to use as an entry point for Vin. Everything she has done in the last month or so has been calculated by Gunther. She had a choice. Come talk to me and work with me to fix the issue or go behind our backs and commit treason. If she wasn’t caught, she could have been one of the girls that were sent to kill you at the luna ceremony. Did you think of that? She would have killed you if it meant saving Gunther. If Vin held a knife to Gunther’s throat, I would bet anything should would have spilled your blood to save his.”

“I’m actually going to back Colt up on this. Kara’s focus was Gunther, not how it affected the pack. It still is on Gunther. Call it the mate bond and it probably is, but you still have free will.” Alec chimed in.

“Anyone would do anything to save their mate.” Penny said

stubbornly.

“Would you die and let our babies die if it mean allowing Gunther to live?” I asked her. She looked at me and blinked a few times. “We lay down our lives for our pack willingly. However, at the end of the day, we do what is in the best interest of the pack. The pack comes first and you are carrying the heirs to the pack. What happens if we die? Your life is much greater than Gunther’s. Why do you think Vin is desperately trying to get you?” I said it in a calm voice but there was still an edge to it.

Penny put her hand over her belly and sat down. “I know it sucks but he is right. The whole situation sucks and I know you feel guilty but this might be a blessing in disguise. Even if Colt allowed Kara to stay in the pack, no one would be friends with her. No one would talk to her. She would probably get bullied and treated like c rap. Their loyalty

laid a hand on Penny’s shoulder.

“We could have found her another pack…”

“How? Call someone up and be like, can you take this pack member of mine that I am banishing for treason?” Ice said sarcastically.” Would you accept someone into your pack if their Alpha called you up and said that to you?”

“Well, no…” Penny sighed and looked at me. “This whole situation sucks.”

agree but there wasn’t much option. My choices were limited so I took a risk. It may come back and bite me in the as s or it may be the best decision that I ever made.”

“So, we can’t tell anyone outside this room.” Jacob spoke up for the

first time.

“Correct. Less people who know about this the better.”

“Do they know they are being tracked?” Penny asked. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“No. I didn’t tell him I was going to do that. They think they are walking around without my knowledge of their location.”

“Da mn, that’s crazy.” Jasper said as he started pacing.

“I don’t want to leave them completely unprotected. I do have someone helping me out but we will be doing our own recon to make sure things are working in our favor.” I said.

“So, you will help them live?” Penny asked me.
