Tattooed Luna novel (Kristen and Alec) novel Chapter 510

Fighting off my wolf was more difficult than I imagined. All the humans listened and obeyed as they got released. After giving us their name and location they wished to be dropped off at, they were blindfolded from abandoned material found in another part of the center.

Not that they trusted me but I didn’t want them to see I was a wolf too. Their experience was a terrible one and we would get more resistance if they knew what we really were. If they fought me, they would get hurt and trying to save their lives were what I was after.

“Did you get ahold of your bank?” Alec came up behind me. I was so preoccupied by watching the humans get loaded that I didn’t even hear him.

“Yeah. I have all the accounts being set up right now.”

“I got off the phone with Kristen. We want to go half in with you.”

Looking back, Alec was just standing with his hands in his pockets, like this was another normal day. “I appreciate that.”

“She said something else….” Alec trailed off. This time, he looked at me and I could see it wasn’t the best news.

“What happened?”

Turning my body, I faced him, ready for the blow he was going to give me. “She had gotten a call from Jace. He had picked up Penny and the doctor was examining the babies. Elaina had swallowed some fluid. She was unresponsive for an undetermined amount of time. Kristen got a helicopter in the air and they are schedule to get everyone within the hour. The doctor was able to clear her and it appears she is okay but they are going to be keeping her in the hospital for awhile for supervision.”

It was like another punch to my gut. Closing my eyes, I had to walk away. If they weren’t already dead, I would make their death more painful. Pulling out my phone, I looked up Penny’s name and hit call.

“Oh, Colt.” Penny sighed. “Did Kristen talk to you?”

“She told Alec. Is Elaina okay?”

“I don’t know. She is alive if that is what you mean. She hasn’t opened her eyes but her airway sounds clear-ish. There is still a little moister sound in there. He thinks she might have inhaled and swallowed some fluid. Since we couldn’t properly address each baby, she didn’t get cleaned out.”

By the end of Penny speaking, her voice cracked. I couldn’t resist the tears that plagued my eyes. “She’s your daughter. She will be strong and will fight this. You stay strong momma. Stay strong for our daughter and for our sons. I will be there as soon as I can be.”

“They are sending a second helicopter for you. I need you with me. Your job there is done. It’s time you came home with me.” Penny said instantly. It sounded like she pushed the tears back and forced herself to toughen up.

“I’ll be ready.”

“Kristen did ask that maybe you could convince Alec to go home too.”

There was a little laughter to her voice, which made me smile. Sniffling, it even brought a small smile to my face. “I’ll bring him home too.”

“Thank you for killing them.”

Turning around, I looked at Carson. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to say. After opening and closing my mouth a few times, Carson just nodded in understanding.

“All the humans are loaded up.” A warrior came up and stood between Carson and I. He looked between us like he knew he interrupted something.

“Good. Get the train moving. I want a team left here. Collect all the evidence and then flatten this place. I want it to be complete ashes before we leave here.” I said, firmly. He nodded and walked off.

“I didn’t find anything but I did find where they were mixing it all. I have pictures of it all.” Carson muttered.

“Thank you.” I said, quickly before I chickened out of saying it.

Carson looked into my eyes and knew what I was talking about. “Brian would be proud of you. I know I am.”

I couldn’t respond but nodded. Carson put his hand on my shoulder for a second, squeezed and let go again. We stood in silence and watched as Hank finalized his count and got on the train. After blaring the horn, he took off slowly.

Alec walked up to me. Carson nodded at Alec and walked away to get things going inside. “Helicopter will be here within the hour.”

“You’re coming with me.” I stated. Alec raised an eye brow in response.
