Chapter 0425 Colt POV “Someone is cutting it close.” Jacob said as he came into my dressing room.
“I know. I wasn’t going to miss Penny’s luna ceremony but I really need to be someone else. Something
is going down and I’m not there for it.” My nerves were on high alert as I straightened my tie. In order
for me to get back on time for the ceremony, I had to leave before whatever was going down was done.
Assuming by the girls that were brought in, it was an auction.
Not only did it feel wrong to let it happen but I had to walk away from Gunther. Judging by the tracking,
he was back at the castle. Something
inside me was telling me | was missing something very big, ?? “Like what?” Jacob asked.
“No idea but I just know I shouldn’t be here.” Sighing, I grabbed the colon and sprayed it a few times
before looking at myself. € “Don’t let Penny hear you say that.” Jacob warned.
“I won''t. You know that feeling that tells you, that you need to be somewhere? I just have a bad feeling
that I shouldn’t have left. I should still be following Gunther.” “Did Alece back with you?” Jacob was
sitting down on a chair, picking at his fingernails.
“He did. We drove together and left together. Not about to leave one of us
behind without help.” “You might try putting on a smile before you walk out this door.” Jacob stood up
and adjusted his tie before looking at me.
Knock! Knock! Knock! Jacob walked up to the door and answered it. “We came to see what the hold up
was.” Alec and Jasper walked in.
“Just Colt getting in the right head space.” Jacob sighed as he stepped back and allowed them to enter.
“Are the girls ready?” I asked.
“They are. Penny had a slight freakout that you weren''t here but after she saw me, she rxed.” Alec
stood with his hands in his pockets.
“That’s good.” I said, trying to convince myself that nothing bad was happening at the castle. —
“Jacob... Jasper.... please get everyone ready, we will be down in five minutes.” Alec asked. It was a
little more firm that left little room for arguing but still nicely.
“Okay.” Jacob said, clear of his request.
They walked out and shut the door behind them.
“Can’t shake the feeling?” Alec asked.
“No and it’s just getting worse.
Something is happening down there and we should be there.” Walking over to the window, I had to
resist the urge to punchit.
“We can leave first thing in the
morning and go back down there but you need to push that to the side as much as possible and be
present for Penny.” Alec didn’t make a move to me.
“I know.” Pushing away from the wall, I just took a few deep breaths and readied myself. “Let go.”
Muting the nagging in me, I focused only on the happy emotions. @& “That’s better...” Alec still frowned
but opened the door. Soft music was ying as we made our way to the stage.
Penny wanted a ck tie theme. It was alittle more dressy than some of these but that is what she
wanted so that is what she got. All the men were in ck suits and all the women were in ck elegant
dresses. Silver sparkling twigsContent property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
shot out from vases with water beads in the middle of the tables. Matching stretchy linings were
covering every inch of the tables and chairs. Overall, I was in awe with how great everything looked.
Penny kept the set up the same from Ice’s ceremony was I assume that was easy to switch things out.
It was only a minute of us standing here that the music shifted and the girls started walking down the
aisle.
One by one, they took their seats and the music changed once more.
Everyone stood so I didn’t see Penny until she was half way down the aisle.
My breath got caught in my throat as her beauty really shined tonight. There was a faint glow to her
that almost made my knees go weak. A fittedcy gown hugged her tightly, really
showing off our babies. It long sleeves, off the shoulder dress with a deep V.
Her hair was curled and pinned at the base of her neck with little rhinestones making her glow really
shine.
