“You did what?” Penny was looking at me like I was crazy.
Currently, we were getting ready to walk downstairs to the BBQ. She had ran home earlier and got us clothes to wear tonight. Penny was wearing a fun, light blue cotton dress. It had buttons down the front and she had put on white sneakers. Leaving her hair down, she did a light layer of makeup and looked perfect as always.
She grabbed me a pair of jeans and a simple white button up, athletic fit shirt. “What was I suppose to do. I told them if they went under cover, we would forgive them. It was the only way I could figure out how to get to Vin. Besides, they only want to be with each other.”
Penny was not taking the news about Kara and Gunther as well as I hoped. “I don’t want them here. Why can’t they just be exiled and be done with it?”
“For starters, you are his alpha. You hold the title and he is still part of your pack. Second, the pack will give them a hard time but eventually, they will forgive them. If I let them go, there would always be that regret in their hearts. They need this.”
“What about what I need?” Penny put her hands on her hips and looked at me with so much anger, it surprised me.
“Why are you so angry about this? I figured you wouldn’t be happy but I didn’t think you would be this angry.” Finishing buttoning my shirt, I was ready to go.
Penny crossed her arms. “I just want to forget everything. I had to give birth in a hotel, watching you fight for our lives and…” Penny closed her eyes. “I don’t want to remember and that is all I see when I see them.”
Walking up to her, I pulled her into my chest. She turned her head so her makeup wouldn’t get on my shirt.
“I understand that was very traumatic for you. I didn’t enjoy it either but I have to stand by my word. If a man doesn’t have his word, how trustworthy is he?”
There was a knock on the door that kept Penny from answering. Instead, she pulled away from me and walked over to the door. Afte collecting herself, she opened the door to Alec and Kristen.
“Hey! Are you guys ready to head down?” Ice asked as she looked at Penny’s dress. “That is too cute!”
Kristen was wearing a maxi dress and a jean jacket with her hair in a pony tail. Alec was in jeans and a black button up. “Apparently, we are the last to head down.” He said.
“Well, let’s head down.” Penny had on a smile and waited till Kristen and Alec went first. “After you.”
