Rosalie bit her lip. "She was at a sevenst tI checked." "When was thest tyou checked?" All the

needles were out of Penny.

"Hour or so ago." Rosalie answered as Penny struggled to swing her legs off the bed.

"We are going to havepany. Guards made it to the first floor and saw the bodies. You guys better

get out of there now!" My heart started beating as Alec and I met eyes.

Alec frowned and looked at the door. "There is only one way out of here.” "Try to make it to the first

floor. It will be easier to extract you." It was my turn to create the n. "You heard him." Grabbing

Penny''s arm, I put it over my shoulder and the doctor did the son her other side. "Can you keep up?" I

asked the nurse.

"Yeah, I''m good. Just don''t leavebehind!" She wasn''t my first priority but I wasn''t going to leave her

behind regardless. "Good. I need you to stay with Penny regardless of what happens. Do not leave her

side and I will not leave you behind." Between the doctor and myself, we half carried Penny to the door.

"You have about three minutes before she starts another contraction!" I heard the nurse yell as we

made it to the door.

"Take the North stairs!" "Okay." The doctor grunted as he turned and tried to walk as quickly as

possible.

"Are you okay?" I couldn''t look at Penny because I was busy looking around but I wanted to make sure

she was okay.

"I''m in the process of giving birth and a war is going on around me. I''m fucking great.” The sarcasm

was very thick to the point that I even let out a littleugh. After all this, this woman wasn''t freaking out.

Alec opened the door for us and we entered the stairwell. "Vin has exited the office with a group of

warriors. You have about two minutes before he reaches you." "You boys probably only have a few

minutes before they use the cameras to find us. Better get out of there!" Alec yelled as we went down

the stairs.

We practically carried Penny down the stair but as soon as we hit the secondnding, Penny clenched

her body in pain. "FUCK!" "That was only two minutes." Rosalie said more to herself but it registered

with me. This wasn''t good.

"Proceed with clearing the buildings!" Carson screamed to the rest of the team as he held the door for

us. At this point, Penny was being carried by us and we just ran.

"Get in the suit. We will have to hold them off." Alec ran ahead and opened the door for us.

"Moving now!" I heard Anthonymand.

We moved Penny to one of the bedrooms and pushed her in the middle of the bed. "Penny, I need to

check you." Rosalie pulled out sgloves from her pocket.

The doctor put his backpack down and opened it. Pulling out multiple supplies and put a blood

pressure cuff on Penny. "How are you doing?" He asked her.

"All things considering..." There was arge boom outside in the hallway. "....I''m okay." "Shit." I

whispered and moved to stand in front of the door.

Our warriors had ran out into the hallway and their growls filled the room. "She is at a nine." I heard the

concern in Rosalie''s voice.

"Alpha, Luna is going to be delivering here. You are going to have to keep us safe and everyone out of

here." .

Turning, I saw the fear in Penny''s eyes. Rosalie was holding Penny''s hand like her life depended on it

and the doctor was busy getting his stuff Lets situation "I''m going to shut the door and give you

sprivacy. Letknow when the babies are actuallying out." Walking over, wrapping my hands around

her face, I kissed her as passionately as I possibly could. "You can do this. Stay strong for our kids. I

love you." .

"I love you." Penny whispered as I let her go and walked out into the living room. Shutting the bedroom

door, I made eye contact with Alec. He was the next defense as he watched the battle in the hallway.

"Another round ising from both stairs! We are getting out of here and heading up towards you!" I

heard in my ear.

"Keep our ears open for emergencies unless needed. Updates can ter. Once buildings are cleared,

move to phase two.

All avable warriors cto the casino for support!" Alec said as three of their warriors walked into the

suite.

.

Alec took one and I took the other. He lunged at me. Normally, I would step aside but I didn''t want any

of them to go betweenand Penny. So, I allowed hi lowed him to tackle me. Wrapping my head around

his neck. I tried to make it so we fell on the top of his head. Delivering multiple shots to his kidneys, we

hit the floor hard. .

He struggled underas I kept my grip around his neck. At one point, he tried to flip over and it took

everything into keep my hold. His movements bebored until they slowed down.

.

Looking over at Alec, he sported a fresh sh to his chest but the other bel guy had a broken femur.

Limping on one leg, it was all could do but was watch th battle until my guy finally gave it up. Alec

blocked a right hook and shed up his side. Without waiting a second, he shoved his ws deep into

the guys neck as Vin walked in. .

Letting go of my guy, I had just enough tto snap his neck and stand up when Vin looked over at me.

"This is a fun surprise." "I believe you are standing in my casino and I am here to make you vacate it."
