My eyes looked up at Penny, who was avoiding eye contact with me. Colt was standing beside her but not touching her. “Penny?”
She looked up atwith tears in her eyes. “I swear I don’t know anything! You know I was an orphan! You literally foundin the woods!” She was beggingto listen. “I don’t even know who my family are!”
The DNA was a percentage of a parent. That means, her dad loaded the gun that shot you.” Alpha Marc clarified foreven more. “How did you find her?”
“She was in the orphan when I volunteered there. She was a teenager… almost 15 and was getting into trouble. Sneaking out, stealing.
“I was stealing books! It wasn’t like I was a druggy!” Penny defended herself.
“The books she took were advanced books. No one payed attention to what books she took but that she
took them. I noticed what they were so I took responsibility for her. Making her do tasks for me. Once she
earned strust and showedwhat she was capable of doing, I started paying her. Not much but
enough she was able to buy clothes and food. Eventually, Dad got her into a young adult housing situation
and out of the orphanage.” It was like I was on autopilot.

eyes.
“We found her on the edge of our property as a baby. No one claimed her and we put h DNA in the system in case there was any hits. There wasn’t, until now.” Dad was looking at the paper like it was an
alien.
“Colt, is she lying?” Alpha Marc asked.
“No. She is telling the truth. You can command her if you wish.” Colt looked up at the ceiling in pain. This must be incredibly hard for him. His loyalty to his sister against his mate.
“C-colt?” Penny looked betrayed at her but Alpha Marc didn’t need to be told twice. We watched as his aura lashed out and covered Penny. She instantly fell to the ground in submission.
“Have you told us a lie?” He commanded.
“NO!”
“Are you leaving anything out?”
“No! I love Kristen and would never b e tray the only sister I have ever known!”
“Hey Alec?” I asked trying to sound se xy in the mind-link.
“What?”
“Do you know why I love to ride my bike so much?”
“Why’s that?”
Looking over at him, “Before all the power I feel between my legs.” His eyes narrowed atas I put the throttle to the floor and took off.

“You won’t be able to walk to school tomorrow.” Alec promised as he caught up to me. I didn’t even respond but I smiled at him. As we moved down the hill, the curves twisted tightly. Since I was feeling so good, I cruised down them effortlessly. My bike and I were one as we rotated side to side. My knees
barely above the pavement. We made our way home. It was a great afternoon.
Pulling into the packhouse, the atmosphere was very tense and uninviting. Alec and I looked at each
other as we took our helmets off and made our way to Alpha Marc’s office. Alec knocked once before
going in. I was a little taken aback by the amount of people here. Dad, Colt, Penny, Jacob, Jasper, Emmy

“Where is Sherry?” I asked Jacob.
“In the kitchen.” He said in a sullen tone.
“What’s going on?” Alec pulledtowards him as if someone was going to jump out and stab me
“This.” Alpha Marc threw a piece of paper at Alec. It fell to the floor, making Alec bend down and grab it
he lowered it so we both could read it.
“I don’t understand what I’m reading.
“It is saying the bullet cfrom a 9mm Smith and Weston, which we knew. However, the gun is tied to a series of murders that has happened across the U.S. However, this is what is concerning” Alec pointed to
sfine print at the bottom.
“Does that say… no…” I must not have read that right.
“It said that there was additional DNA on the bullet that is a familial DNA match to a Penelope Atwater.”
Alec’s b*dy vibrated in anger.
