Chapter 0401
“Gunther and Kara were at the gate. Gunther wants for us to hear him out before we kill him and Kara is begging for his life. Gunther said that he had to chose between the mate bond and Vin so he is unable to go back to Vin.”
“He would rather die at our hands than Vin’s.” Jacob chimed in.
“Is he expecting to live?” Alec asked.
“No. He just wants to be heard. I think he wants to plead his case to I
don’t kill Kara.”
“This is a random change of heart. Yesterday he was fully ready to kill us.” Jasper said.
“I’m wondering if he doesn’t have alternative motivations. However, he can’t walk free.” I said even though I wasn’t sure how to handle
this situation.
“I agree. Was he injured?” Alec asked.
“He was. He is at the hospital right now getting fixed and then taken. to the cells.” I confirmed.
“What about Kara? What did she say?” Penny asked. We all looked at her before speaking.
“She said she got drunk and went to a bar. She found him and mated him without speaking to him. She claims she had no idea who he was before they mated. Now, she is stuck with him.” I summarized.
“I mean, I can see that. Alot of people get drunk and make st upid decisions when they are hurting or upset.” Ice said in Kara’s defense. That surprised me as she was never a fan of Kara.

“I don’t disagree with you but that doesn’t excuse her trying to break Into my office and steal information to give to Vin.” I countered.
“True but what if she was doing it to help get Gunther out?” Ice asked. “I’m just saying, there might be more to her story than she has said.”
“Maybe Gunther put her up to it. We all know how strong the mate bond can be.” Penny said.
“There is more.” I said as I faced Penny more. “Zac met with Kara
before she met up with Gunther. She gave Zac the blueprints that she stole and he altered them. Zac was playing both sides to get what he wanted. He was caught and that was the only reason why we intervened. Otherwise, we would have let that played out.”
“Is he alive?” Penny asked after a moment of silence.
“Yeah, that’s how I got f ucking shot. Carrying his f ucking a ss.” Alec tried to cross his arms but flinched and let it hang.
Penny looked at Alec and back at me. It was hard to read her facial expression and her emotions were just as flat. “Thank you for saving him. I have begun to worry how many of his nine lives were up.”
“He has at least one more but he is in the cells as well. He will ne to answer to his own treason.” I said to Penny. She didn’t argue wit me, nor did she pinch her lips together, like I expected. Instead, she just nodded and seemed to be deep in thought.
“What happens now?” Ice asked.
“Tomorrow, we will question the three of them and decide them. You girls will not be there.” I said firmly.
“Okay.” Ice shrugged. It surprised me how easily she agreed to that. Glancing at Alec, he was even shocked by this.
“Best I can offer is a video and audio.” I tried to make it a little better.

“No need.” Penny shook her head. “Some things I don’t need to
witness.”
“I’m not going to kill anyone tomorrow. We are going to hear them out and see what they have to say.” I promised her.
“What do you want to come of it?” Ice asked me.
“No idea. I don’t know what to think. This is not how I thought tonight
was going to go.”
“Are you really going to sentence Kara to die?” Penny asked with zero
emotions.
