Chapter 402
“She is no different than any other pack member at this point.
However, I will hear her out and see from there.” I wasn’t sure how any of this was going to work. “All I know is that we need to go to bed. Everything else will be dealt with tomorrow.”
“Alright. I’ll be back first thing in the morning.” Alec said and offered. me his hand.
“Sounds good.” I said and shook his hand. “Thanks, Jasper for everything.” I said and offered him my hand. He took it and nodded as
Alec and Jacob shook hands.
“Are we not family enough that you guys don’t have to be so professional?” Ice asked as she stood up.
“Showing respect isn’t always being professional.” I said as I gave her
a kiss on the cheek. “Get some sleep.”
“Yeah, okay.” Ice rolled her eyes and they left together.
“What did she want us to do? Hug it out?” Jacob shook his head.
“How are things with Sherry?” Penny asked.
“I don’t know. Thankfully, you guys have kept me busy so I haven’t spoken to her much.”
“Has she tried to talk to you about it?” Penny pushed.
“A little but she is still adamant that she is innocent. She didn’t want
to reveal that part of her life. She said she buried it and wanted to keep it there. Just wanted to move on and focus on her future.”
“I can’t say I blame her for that.” Penny tried to stand up. Offering her my hand, she got up easily and walked to the kitchen for some water.
“Guess not.” Jacob shrugged.
“Well, I’ll see you tomorrow.” I said, giving him an out.
“Alright.” Jacob put his head down and walked out the front door.
“Ready for bed?” I asked.
“Oh yeah. I’m exhausted.” I waited for Penny to walk up the stairs first. and then I followed her.
“I have a long day tomorrow.” I said as I undressed and got into bed. Penny just took her pants off and climbed into bed.
“That you do.” Penny agreed before we turned the lights out and went fell asleep with her in my arms.
The next morning, my alarm went off but Penny didn’t move. She had, curled up on her side of the bed with about three pillows under her stomach, knees and arms. Not to mention the two under her head. Where all these pillows came from, have no idea. However, she was still peacefully sleep so I tried not to wake her as I got up to shower.
Thankfully, I was done and dressed before the sounds of tires ca into my driveway. Penny was still completely passed out so I just them at the door.
“Good Morning.” Ice said as she walked in.
“Aren’t you chipper this morning.” I said, a little shocked. She came in and went right to the kitchen.
“Coffee.” Alec shook his head.
Penny is still sleeping.” I warned. “Isn’t coffee bad for pregnant people or something?”
“One cup isn’t going to give the baby an extra arm or leg.” Ice rolled her eyes.
“Don’t even try.” Alec sighed. “She is even more stubborn than before if that is even possible.”
“Didn’t think so.” I whispered back. “Like I said, Penny is sleeping. Try not to wake her.” I told Ice as we left. noveldrama
“Wouldn’t dream of it.” Ice frowned at me and closed the door behind
US.
“Where is Jasper?” I asked as we got into Alec’s car.
“Should be here in about five minutes. The baby was up last night and so he is running on minimal sleep.”
“Gotcha.” Alec and I both wore old shorts and tennis shoes that already had blood stains on them. We, also, matched with black t- shirts that would hide any blood that got on them. In total, nothing would be ruined from whatever might happen today.
“I assumed we will start with Gunther or Kara. Save Zac for last.” Alec
said.
“Gunther. I am really curious what he has to say.”
“Sounds good. I’ll be there if you need support but this is your s Alec said as we pulled up to the cells.
“How is the shoulder?” I asked. Getting out, Alec tried to move it b winced a little.
“Sore but okay.” Thanks to our alpha healing, he should be good soon. enough.
After nodding at the guards, we headed inside and down to the
interrogation rooms. Gunther was ready to go, chained to the chair and looking rather bored.
“Gunther.” I said as we walked in.
