Chapter 0428

“Take it to the morgue and leave everything with the body. I will look at it when Luna’s ceremony is over.” | ordered the guard.

“Colt?” Penny’s voice sounded beside me. “What’s wrong?” Sparks erupted down my arm. Looking down at my beautiful mate, I tried to push my anger to the side.

“Nothing that needs addressed right now.” A slow song just started playing.

Grabbing he wrist, I pulled her out into the dance floor. We were the only ones dancing but I didn’t care. Surely, it wouldn’t take long for everyone else to join in. €» “Not omitting things from me, are you?” Penny asked, all knowingly.

“Maybe but do you really want to talk shop tonight?” I whispered, not wanting to tell her but not wanting to lie either.

“Not really but it was important enough to piss you off like this, shouldn’t I know about it?” “How can I be pissed off when I have you in my arms?” I tried to kiss her to get her mind off the subject but she dodged me.

“Colt... I thought we were a team.” Penny wrapped her arms around my neck and locked her hands together.

Her bump kept us a little bit apart but it was still comfortable to dance slowly.

“You really want to know that bad? Can’t just have fun tonight and worry tomorrow?” Sighing, I looked into her

eyes.

“Iwant you to confide in me. Don’t hide things because you think it will upset me. I want to stand beside you and handle that stuff. Even though turning a blind eye so I can focus on my projects might happen, I still want you to be able to talk to me.” “There is so much to tell. More specifically, there was a body found outside of our pack. I don’t know anything else but I had a bad feeling about leaving Gunther. We tracked him to a castle and then to an auction.” I told her in the mind-link.

“Why did you leave then?” Penny asked.

“Ineeded to come back to you.” “Oh...” Penny’s face scrunched up.

| “I wanted to come back. Even if I would have stayed, there isn’t anything that said something would have happened. T might have just followed him back to the castle. Without more men, it would have been incredibly dangerous for Alec and I to even interfere with anything. I would have had to just watch from afar so it was probably best I wasn’t there.” “You probably would have jumped in there and that could have resulted in you being injured or something.” Penny agreed.

“Exactly, you did me a huge favor by making sure I came home.” “Who was the guy?” Penny asked, still in the mind-link. More and more people were dancing beside us.

“No idea. They just told me they found

someone. I'll look and see who it is when we get home.” “Do you need to leave now?” Penny asked as the song stopped. noveldrama

“He won't be much more dead in a few hours.” Walking over to the table, everyone was sitting down and talking.

“Penny! If you had to chose between Jasper and Jacob to win in a foot race, who would it be?” Kris asked me.

“Really?” I asked as I pulled out a chair for Penny and then took my own seat.

“Cripple over here thinks he can still beat me.” Jacob laughed. Sherry just looked like she was in pain trying to smile.

“Without a doubt!” Jasper laughed.

“Has these drinks always been this strong?” Emmy asked. Jasper just shook his head at her and pulled her close. @ “Aw, my little light weight.” “Having a baby really fucks with you.” Emmy shrugged, agreeing with Jasper.

“Why is this an argument?” Penny asked, taking a drink of water.

“I think you would win.” Emmy hiccuped before setting her glass down.

“Jasper was boasting about completing amile in five minutes.” Kris glared at Emmy’s drink as she sat back.

“That is great!” Penny said with a

smile.
