Chapter 0274
“How are you feeling?” I asked Penny when we got outside of the hosptial. The cool air was gently blowing my hair in my face.
“Not sure. Like you said, I don’t need them but part of me wants their approval. It’s weird. I always wondered if they would be proud of me.”
“I think they were very proud of you. I think they are more relieved that you had a good childhood. Cassie couldn’t give you that. She could have kept you and you could have been killed or been beaten your whole life.”
“Its weird. Like, me ntally, I know you are right. It’s hard to wrap my head around this. Knowing what they saved me from is probably the easiest way to understand why they did it. Cassie looked so broken and weak.” Penny was going through so many emotions right now that it was hard to figure out which one she was feeling.
“Like you said, maybe over time you guys can develop a relationship. This is a whole new world to Cassie. She might pick up on a few hobbies that you can learn too. If you wanted to, that is. This is all or your terms. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do.”
Penny nodded but didn’t respond. The packhouse was coming up an everyone was standing around it. Emmy was standing on the stairs dishing out instructions when we walked up.
“Good, you guys are back. Here is a list for both of you. On the list i members that with to go with each pack. I have also made notation about housing or any wishes they have. Everyone has their vehicle packed with their belongings.”
Alec took our list and looked over it. Glancing at Colt’s list, he had about an equal amount of people. Emmy indeed had everyone list that we needed to know. How many children, ages, dietary needs, a
“I wasn’t sure about Sherry so I went ahead and assigned rooms at the packhouse for your pack.” Emmy said to Penny and Colt. ”
Obviously, you can change it but that is one less thing you need to worry about right now.”
“Thank you.” Colt said after Penny failed to answer. Her hands were shaking and I started to think she was breaking down. After all she had went through, her emotions were finally getting the best of her.
“Is everything ready to go?” I asked quickly, wanting to get the topic off Penny to give her some time.
“Yes, I did one last walk through. The office is cleaned out and boxes. are in our cars, food is out of the kitchen and everyone has all their belongings with them. We are ready when you are.” Emmy looked around like she was looking for something. After meeting eyes with Jasper, he nodded at her and she looked back at me. “Yup, we are good to go!”
“Perfect.” I said.
Colt took a few steps forward to address everyone. “Thank you all for moving on a timely fashion. I am Alpha Colt to those who are unaware. This is my mate, Alpha Penny. I am the Alpha of the Blue Fang Pack and Penny is the Alpha of the Midnight River Pack. She i the only blood heir to the title. Alpha Alec is the alpha of the Black Moon Pack.

The crowd
Everything I endured was for this moment. To free all these women and children. It’s hard to see the bigger picture when you only have part of the information but looking back at it all, I was naive to believe it was just about Darin wanting me as a mate.
