Chapter 7
The ride back to the pack house was quite and tense. No one spoke and word. Summer looked out the side window lost in thought.Kane dove looking over at Summer every now and then. Kane wished he knew what she was thinking. He reached over and grabbed her hand she looked at him with a sadness in her eyes that broke his heart.
Summer we will figure out what's going on and when we find out who killed them we will make them pay. I swear to you.
I know Kane I just miss them so much and wish they where here. I keep thinking if I never left they'd be alive.
Don't blame yourself for what someone else did.Its they're fault. Do not blame yourself ever for what monsters do.
Eric cleared his throat and was about to say something when Kane stopped him.
Until you are proven innocent you can not speak to her about anything fucking thing do you understand me? Yes Alfa.
He bowed his head and sat in the back seat.
They got to the pack house and Kane took Eric to the dungeon and locked him in. He looked at him for a second.
If you are lying about any of this you will die a slow and painful death. So I hope for your sake you are telling the truth. But I don't see my Bata betraying me. I don't see him killing the parents of my mate. If he did I don't understand why but Ill find out.
Alpha did you not know that he was obsessed with your mate. He had told the guys on the football team that he would have her. He told them that he hoped that she was as mate.
He never told me that he never even told me that he knew her. He's like 4 years older than her. He never told me his best friend that he even liked her. Why would he kill her parents? I'm not trying to be disrespectful sir but do you really know him like you think you do.
Kane looked at him not knowing what to say. Did he know his beta as well as he thought he did. Ben had has best friends since childhood he trusted him. Was he who he thought he was. Was Eric telling the truth or was he lying so that he wouldn't be killed. He left the dungeon and went back to his and Summers room. When he walked in he heard the bath water running and knew she was in the bath. He wanted her to have time to take everything that happened today in. He turned down the blankets and changed into his night clothes.
Summer sat in the tub deep in thought. Why would Eric lie and say someone else killed her parents if he did? Why would he still be in that house knowing she knew where it was at? Why would Ben kill her parents what did he have to gain by that. He was Kanes best friend and his beta. He should know that if he did kill them he would have to pay for the crime and Kane would make sure that he died a slow death. She would make sure he died a slow painful death. She laid back in the tub and let the warm water relax her tense muscles. She didn't know how long she had been in the tub until she heard a knock at the door.
Summer it's Kane are you okay you've been in there for over an hour. I'm just checking on you to make sure you're okay.
I'm okay I'm getting out. Thank you for checking on me.
No problem my love take your time. No rush.
She got out the tub. And wrapped yourself in one of the big towels that were hanging on her bar. A note fell from one she bent down and picked it up. She opened it and read it.
My dearest Summer I've been waiting for you to come home. Now it will be time for us to finally be together. Soon our forever will start. You will be forever loved my love. I cant wait to have you in my arms whete you belong. Forever yours.
She dried off and walked out of the room. She looked at Kane who was sitting on the bed playing on his phone.
This was a very sweet note you left me. It means a lot after the day that we've had.
I didn't leave you a note babe.Ive been in here the whole time.
What do you mean you didn't leave me a note?
She held it in her hand handing it to him.
You didn't leave me this note?
No honey I did not leave you that note.
Someone was in our room. And left me this note in my towel. What is going on? It couldn't have been Eric he's in the dungeon and he's been with us this whole time.
No it wasn't him clearly. We will find put who it was and take care of them.
She sat on the bed looking at him. He didn't know what to say.
I don't know what's going on but we are getting down to the bottom of this. Do you want to stay here tonight? We can find some other arrangements.
No I will not have someone forced me to leave my home when I've just come back. I can protect myself. Plus I don't think that anything would happen with you here.
No I will lay down my life for you and you know this. But I promise you we are going to get down to the bottom of this. I need to make a phone call to make sure that nothing happens to Eric. Tomorrow we will talk to him together. She laid down next to Kane staring at the ceiling.
Why can't I have a break?
Kane didn't say anything he laid next to her listening to her talk.
Maybe I should have stayed away then you could have moved on and this craziness would have stopped.
No I don't think that's how it would have gone whoever's doing this won't stop until they have what they want that's clear.
She cuddled up to him and closed her eyes. Kane watched her as she slept he would keep her safe no matter what.He kissed her forehead and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
