Chapter 0386

“Penny!” Colt’s voice came from somewhere but I was focused on the dead man on the

floor. “Look at me!”

Sparks ran across my face as Colt grabbed me and forced me to look at him. “W-what?”

“Are you okay?”

“Oh, yeah.” I said as I snapped out of my head. “I don’t know I have seen someone kill

someone before. I’ve seen dead bodies, of course but not them actually get killed.”

“Is she going into shock?” I heard Alec asked.

“Penny?” Colt cupped my face and stepped in front of the dead man.

“I-“My mouth moved a few times but nothing came out.

“It’s okay.” Colt said. “JACOB!”

“Right here.”

“What happened?” Alec asked.

“Emmy left to pump or something and Penny said someti seeing some girls in the hallway?

She took off after them and couldn’t get her to come back. That is when we ran into the

held her back as we overheard them plotting to kill you by injec poison and inject Penny

with something to put her to sleep to ki

her.”

“Did you get the girls?” I asked, looking at them. Three pairs of ey

looked down at me.

“We did. They are being transferred to my cells.” Alec said.

“Was it much of a disturbance?”

“Minor but we were able to keep it mostly quiet.” Jacob looked at Alec

and Colt.

“Good. Alec, this ceremony is for you too. I don’t want people to know something just

happened. Jacob can escort me back to our table. Alec and go forward like nothing

happened and Colt can join us when this is all settled.”

Colt and Alec shared looks before nodding. “Okay. We can do it that way.” Colt said. “Are

you okay?” He looked down at me and put his arm on my shoulder.

“I’m not a child.” I said, instantly annoyed. Shrugging off his hand, I turned to walk back to

the party.

“I got it.” I heard Jacob say before he took off after me. My emotions were all over the

place but I couldn’t really figure out why. I didn’t want to be angry but I was. Men tally, I

know Colt wasn’t treating me like a child so why did I get angry fast? Was that the

pregnancy? That would explain what was going on with Emmy.

Thankfully, no one was at our table when we got back to it. “Penny, seriously, are you

okay?” Jacob asked very quietly as I took my seat. He sat in Colt’s chair and put his arms

on either side of me. If someone didn’t know us, they might think this was inappropriate.

“I think so.” Picking up my lemonade, I really wished this was stronger as I sipped it down.

“Do you need a doctor? Is the baby okay?” Jacob pushed.

“Jacob, I need some quiet time.” Putting my elbows on the table, my head rested against

them.

“Who did this?” Jacob grabbed my arm and twisted it. Wanting to see what he saw, I

looked over and noticed I was right. There was finger

“That was quick.” I said and shrugged it off.

“Who did it?” He asked again.

“The guard that you handed me too. I probably have it on the other arm as well. It isn’t a

big deal, they did save my life.”

“Penny! Are you okay?” Kris came up to me in a hurry. Jacob backed off and Kris sat on my

other side. She barely even noticed Jacob.

“I’m fire. Honestly just trying to wrap my head around it.”

“Is there anything you need?” Kris asked me, more urgently.

“I honestly don’t know what I need. Maybe once I rested.”

“You look really pale.” Kris looked at me worriedly.

“I’m actually kind of dizzy.” The lemonade slipped from my hand and crashed on the table.

Thankfully, Jacob was quick and kept it from fully spilling but Kris was able to catch me

before I fell over.

“We need to get her to a hospital.” Kris said, urgently. “Carry her to my car.” She told

Jacob.

I was vaguely aware of his hand wrapping around me as my head fell over on his chest. “I

already mind-linked Colt but we aren’t waiting.” I heard Jacob tell Kris. Black spots danced

in my vision and I was unaware of my surroundings.

“Penny! Stay with me!” Kris yelled. I heard something slam before the ground started

moving. It was hard to form a thought in my head a the whole world was spinning.

I wasn’t sure how long I was in that car but bright

lights and loud beeping caused more distress than the actual dizziness. People were

moving my body each direction, yelling my name and even a few pinches on my arm. I

could hear them yell my name but I wasn’t able

The sound of fabric chredding was so loud that a single thought

formed in my head. “My dress’. The dress was being cut open,

exposing my body. Something cold was put on my stomach before ! heard the most

amazing word.

“Healthy.”

That’s all it took and I let the darkness pull me under.
