Chapter 0480

“Where was this?” | asked.

“I don’t know. We were blind folded and | was so scared. Gunther was dying and I... | don’t know. Next thing | know is | was being shoved into a cell to be sold. They laughed as they did this because they thought Gunther was going to die and | would die soon after. They thought they were paying their portion withjust forto die.” “What do you mean? Pay your portion?” “To be part of the auction, you have to provide women. The more women you provide, the more say you have in things. Rip apparently used to run the whole thing because he would supply all the women. Gunther said he kept doing this so he would make all the other alphas do what he wanted.” “If Vin is supplying girls that end up dying or are damaged, he will be pissing people off.” Carson supplied.

“That is until these wolves cinto play. Doesn't matter who he fucks over, he will be in charge of everything.” Hank added.

“Probably why is uncle is here. Trying to run the business.” Alec stated.

“What if he wanted to start a branch of the mafia over here?” Carson supplied.

“That mafia boss guy? He never hurt me. He toldhe likes to gamble because there was always drunk guys around to offer money to.” Kara grabbed a tissue and blew her nose before standing up a little straighter.

“You spoke with him?” | asked, more curious.

“He offeredto get Gunther medical treatment if | would just tell him what | knew. He promisedhe would help Gunther. So, | told him | what | knew. Which, wasn’t much since it wasn't like you toldanything. It was more that Gunther was suppose to tell you information. However, after that, | never saw Gunther again until now. The other girls toldthat he would make deals but unless the terms are in black and white, there was always fine print.” “Damn.” Lars shook his head.

“You said Penny was taken? The other girls said that it was better to reject his offers, regardless of how appeasing they sound. It is never in your favor.” | wasn’t sure why her words madefeel uneasy but something intoldhe would probably offer Penny something.

Knowing Penny, she would do anything that meant keeping the babies alive. Even if it meant her death.

“Let's go to your office.” Carson said after a moment of silence.

“If you think of anything else that might help us, letknow.” | commanded and walked out of the room.

With less urgency, we walked back to my office. It made sense about the casino. If he was working out of one, there would be an endless supply of women and men to use to experiment with... or sell.

Walking into my office, | had just sat down when someone shut my door. “Do you guys think he is working out of the casino?” Lars asked, mirroring my thoughts.

“It's possible. Gunther kept saying family. Maybe he was talking about Gambino.” “What did he mean, follow the what?” Anthony asked.

“Probably follow the road but not sure which road he was talking about.” Carson shrugged and sat down in an arm chair.

Alec was pacing around. “He kept saying family. What if it was a family hof Vin or Gambino. Maybe there is an old hthey owned.” “We will need to look into that.” Hank agreed. “What do we think is imminent though?” “What are you getting at?” Jace asked, speaking up for the first time.

“I mean, these wolves. Do you think he is planning on an attack or something soon?” Hank looked around to see if we agreed or not.

“He hasn't retaliated yet. That means it is coming and at what level, | have no idea.” Aston had no hesitation or uncertainty in his voice.

“So we need to be prepared for anything. We all need to make arrangements and make this our top priority.” Jace forcefully put his fist down on the back of the armchair. It was more of a statement action that anything.

“Agreed. Let's all go back to our rooms. Figure your pack out and bring all available men here. Friis) t big fen [BGS This is lik than just Colt and Penny.

Which is enough excuse to get involved but he was right to declare war.” Carson took charge, which | was thankful for.

| knew this was my rodeo but | couldn't really think straight. Maybe | could and | was makin all the @ight yay rs to ground me, | have felt more flustered.

Having her around really calmed me.

Right now, | could punch everyone in this room and not care.

“Colt, if you could arrange another alpha meeting with supper, we can discuss plans moving forward.” Aston stated, as he looked at me. My wolf bristled at someone tellingto do anything but Aston wasn’t wrong and | was going to say that anyway.

“Sure.” That was all | could say, otherwise it would have been more colorful.

In a single file line, they all left my office. “Jacob.” | said over the mind-link.

“Just a second. | am almost to your office.” Jacob's voice sounded like he was excited about something.

A minute ticked by. Then another and another. It was almost ten minutes later and two broken pensils that | was about to go find the mother fucker when the office door opened.

“I got sinformation out of Cassie.” Jacob seemed like he was out of breath.

“Do tell.” The sarcasticness in my voice was hard to miss.

Jacob's body froze for a second before continuing to sit down in front of me. “It's an art form to questign( her. ASLRTOY Borima nd on Hedi gb er to focus. Sherry told that Penny told her that Cassie's brain isn't functioning properly. You can't just command her and expect her to answer the right way.” noveldrama

“I don't fucking care. What did she say?” My temper was coming to the surface.
