Tattooed Luna novel (Kristen and Alec) novel Chapter 498

My heart wanted to jump out of my chest but my wolf kept it calm. Each slow beat was like another piece of rope, holding me back from just running in there to get Penny.

“Penny?” I tried again in the mind-link.

“Colt?” Penny’s voice sounded surprised and like she was getting ready to cry.

“Don’t let them know you are talking to me. Stay strong. What is going on? Where are you?”

“I don’t know!” Penny sounded like she was holding back tears. Both relief and pure panic fought for a dominate position in her emotional system. “I am in labor! I-I have a nurse with me a-and the doctor just left.”

“Penny is in labor.” My wolf whispered to Alec and Carson.

Both of them looked at me instantly. “What?” Alec clarified.

“Colt is speaking with her in the mind-link. She is here and in labor.”

Alec and Carson looked at eachother. Their expressions hardened but otherwise they didn’t give anything away. “The complicates things.” Carson grabbed his earpiece. “Status report?”

“Changing now.” We heard back.

“Penny, do you know where you are at?” I pushed again for any information. “I need you to focus. I’m here to get you but I need your help.”

“I don’t. I’m in a room with a livingroom and bedrooms. There is a kitchen too.” It sounded like she was trying to pull herself together.

“She’s in a suite.” My wolf told them.

“Penny, I love you. Take a deep breath and focus. We are coming for you. Don’t raise suspicion be ready. I need for you to stay strong for me. Can you do that?”

“Yes. For you and for our babies.” It sounded like a little whimper escaped but she quickly pushed it down and the determination fueled her.

“I need to focus but I’ll keep this link open in case.” I said as I watched the warrior walk out of the forest.

“Okay. Please hurry, I’ll be ready.”

“Get ready.” Carson moved so he was in a better position to jump off the tree. “Don’t raise suspicion.” He warned his men. All of them were now walking towards the door. The other not in uniform quickly jetted behind the trash bins.

The one in his uniform, I watched lite a cigarette and just stand there with his back turned. “Still fucking smoking?” A guy come out yelling and tossing his hands in the air.

Our guy pulled out a white cloth and when the guy tried to turn him, he quickly put the cloth over his mouth and drug him behind the trash. A second later, he came back out and stood with his back turned and kept smoking like nothing happened.

Again, someone came out to yell at him and he quickly put the cloth over their mouth and drug him. About five minutes later, they all came out wearing a little too small cleaning uniforms. With their hats pulled down low, they grabbed some supplies and walked into the casino.

“Everyone hold. Group one penetrated and in route to security room.” Carson whispered.

A few minutes later, we got a response. “In position for Anthony.”

“Probably not.” There was a small click and more shuffling as I assumed they kept moving. More doors opened and closed. Picturing them in my mind, they were on the hallway we assumed was where the security room was at.

“It’s not here.” Someone reported back to Carson.

“Fuck.” Carson closed his eyes, trying to remember the layout.

“Go back up one floor.” Alec spoke up for the first time, telling his men where to go. “There was a utility room on the layout. Maybe that is the security room.”

“That’s also the floor that Joe has his office.” Carson whispered.

Alec frowned. “I know but it isn’t on the bottom level. The other alternative is if the security room is on the main level.”

“Let’s hope not.” Carson nodded in agreement. “Stay to the shadows, you can’t be seen.” He said to the men.

“Going dark.” Alec’s men used this to tell us they will not be able to talk for some time. It meant there were people around and any noise could be heard, giving away their position.

As we waited, a limo pulled up to the back entrance. A swarm of warriors came out from the casino and stood in a formation. They created an aisle for whoever was in the limo to walk through.

Someone more professionally looking walked out and opened their car door. “Sir Joe! Sir Vin! I’m glad you made it here safely!” He said as Joe and Vin stepped out.
