"I didn't mean to hurt her so much. I just wanted to teach her a lesson, but didn't expect her to be so fragile." I replied with a voice that was smaller than a mosquito, but I knew Karl could hear me.
"Did I give you permission to hurt her so much?" Karl asked again.
I was surprised by his question. Almost everyone in the pack had at one time or another done something to Valerie. Except for those who still revered her father and claimed he was Innocent, the other pack members had at one time or another hit or scolded Valerie.
So, why was Karl so sensitive this time?
"N…no." I replied quietly.
"I let all of you treat her like garbage because she will need me to comfort and protect her, but you went overboard and almost killed her. For that crime, I will punish you. You will not touch Valerie again. If you do, even Mike won't be able to save you." Karl stated and I was shocked to the core.
What kind of monster was he? Did he like Valerie or not?
