Tattooed Luna novel (Kristen and Alec) novel Chapter 428

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

“I want 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.

“I needed 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. I 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.
