~Kara~
I woke up panting, relieved that the beating was a dream. I had a nightmare of that garage and silver chain, which still had the same effect on me. Marcel woke up and held me while I cried.
“It’s okay, darling, it was just a bad dream,” he said, gently rubbing my back and kissing my neck.
“He can never hurt you gain. I promise,” he said, and I cried and held him.
It had been a while since I dreamt about Sheperd; why did I dream about him this night?
Marcel held me, and I kissed him.
He returned the kiss with passion and started taking off my nightgown to make love to me. I wanted it.
“Let me bring you back to the present,” he whispered, burying himself into me, and the pleasure shock went straight to my head.
The dream was a distant memory as Marcel took me to great heights, reassuring me of his love.
We went to the sports arena early the next day, and our men went to handle state matters leaving Zora, Neva, Nellie, Eloise and me in the booth.
Nellie, Neva and Zora went to watch the croquet game, leaving Eloise and me in the booth.
Eloise excused me to get a sandwich, and I sat alone, only for Sheperd to

approach the booth, looking at me with pleading eyes.
I looked at Sheperd with his pleading eyes.
What was he doing in my booth? Was he crazy?

He walked to where I was, and I stood up and punched him right between the eyes.
Now I see why I dreamt of him last night.
Everything he did to me came rushing back to me, and I slapped him.
He did not say anything; he just stared and me with tears rolling down his cheeks.
“What do you want, Sheperd? You are trespassing,” I told him, and he went on his knees.
“Kara, I am sorry,” He said, and I wondered what had gotten into him. Why was he telling me sorry? There was no word to describe what he did to me, so there shouldn’t be a word to take it away.
“What do you want?” I asked him, and he bowed his head.
“I want you to come back to me, Kara,” he said, and I could not believe this guy.
“Are you sick or something? How the fuck do you think I will come back to you after all you did to me because of Gabriella Shieldse?” I said, and he stood up.
“I am sorry, Kara. I later found out that she was lying. She wasn’t pregnant, and you were not beating her. Doctor Alice said Gabriella Shieldse had never been pregnant in her life. All the miscarriages she claimed to have because you beat her were lies. I am sorry,” he said, and I was shocked.

I wasn’t shocked at what he said, but because he was stupid enough to not figure out she was lying about her pregnancy.
“I have scars to show for it, Sheperd. Scars that would never heal on Jada‘ s body. My body. How do you think that would make me feel?” I asked him, and he bowed his head in shame!
“I do not know what came over me,Kara. I lost it. I lost my mind,” he said in tears, and I could not believe this psycho.
“You did it so much, Sheperd. You did it every night. Every night you fought with Gabriella Shieldse, you came for me, whenever I refused to agree with your actions, you came for me. Whenever I did something you disagreed with, you came for me. I was your punching bag. Your rag. You maltreated me, anything is better than being with you,” I said and looked at him in disbelief. Had he lost his mind?
“How could you even expect that I will leave someone who loves me wholeheartedly and fixed my broken soul? What made you think I would return to you?” I said, and he looked at me.
I knew he never expected it to come to this. He saw me as a commodity, an object. He even saw his fated like that, too. That was the only reason he requested a swap.
He thought it would be easy. He thought all men were like him and saw women as objects.
It was either that, or he had lost his mind completely.
“I am doing all this for you,Kara. I came here to humiliate myself, so I can see you. If you tell him to give you back, he will, and I will cherish you for the rest of my life. I will let you do whatever you like.” he said and looked away.
“I have executed all the men that lied against you and banished their family members. That is how desperate I am,” he said, and I laughed. I

knew there was more to the story. I knew he wasn’t telling me the entire truth.
“Not all of them, Sheperd; can’t say you dealt with all the men that hurt me when you are standing in front of me,” I said, looking him straight in the eye, and he bowed his head.
“I will do more if you promise to tell Sidorov to send you back to me. There are many women out there for him, but you are meant for me. My life was better when you were in it. My world is coming apart without you, Kara. You are my lifeline. Please,” he said, and I did not understand why he would want me back. He had his fated.
“You do not need me, Sheperd. You have a mate,” I told him, and he shook his head.
“What about Echo, Sheperd? Does Echo not need his mate badly?” I asked, and he was ashamed of himself.
“Please, Kara,” he said in tears. I knew he had no words to plead his case. So I looked him dead in the eyes to make my demands. Demands I knew he would not be able to deliver.
“Go and lock Gabriella Shieldse up in the garage and repeatedly beat the shit out of her wolf for three years.
Starve her and humiliate her over and over again.
Fuck her out of pity and let her know that is why you are fucking her, let her know you touched her because you can’t let a wolf in heat roam about your house.
Degrade her and make her feel like shit.
Then, make her a spectacle to your men and pack members.
Go and do that, then come back in three years,” I said with a grin, and he

I had told him to do all he did to me to Gabriella Shieldse for the time he
did it and return.
I knew he couldn’t. He did not have that luxury of time, but those were my terms; an impossible task he could not achieve.
I wanted him to hear what being with him sounded like, and he knew.
He needed to hear what he did and how long he did it. He needed to see the extent of his wickedness toward me.
“My pack is in shambles, Kara. I will lose my pack if you do not come back. Gabriella Shieldse can’t do shit.
I do not know how to handle the arsenal and the shelters.
Your food preservation schemes and safety schemes have died.
People are moving to Casey’s pack, where the luna is active. Please.
That pack was left to me by my father. I can’t lose it,” Sheperd confessed, and I realised why he wanted me back. The very reason he did not let me
- go.
“Let Gabriella Shieldse do it,” I said.
“I will happily draft you a plan for old–time sake so she can have something to follow, but I am not coming back to you. I can have this conversation with you because I have moved on. I have healed My heart is in the right place. I am getting married soon, and Marcel and I plan to start a family. I have too much going on for me here. I can’t return to that hell hole. I will advise you to walk away,” I told him, and he shook his head.
“You were mine. You will always be my Kara,” I saw the possessive rage in his eye.
