Tattooed Luna by Mrs Smith

“You know, we had so many gifts between us that | honestly don’t remember who got us those. | remember opening them. Is something wrong with them? Those were the patterns we picked out.” That surpriseda little. Was it as simple as that? My subconscious remembered these patterns and put the babies in them? “I guess | forgot we picked those patterns out. | just really liked them.” | wasn’t fully convinced but now wasn’t the tto get into it. “You hit your head really hard. Do you feel okay?” Ice asked me. She slipped her arm in Alec’s but kept looking atweirdly.

“| feel like a million bucks.” | tried to give her a smile but she saw right through it. Wrapping my arm around Penny, we left first. Penny looked amazing but we walked so to accommodate her waddle.

The sounds of soft music filled the foyer. The lights were dimmed and the soft laugher was echoing off the walls.

The entire vibe was laidback and fun.

Jacob cup toas we stepped in the doorway. “Everything is on lockdown. We haven't had any signs of a disturbance all day. | have four men at the cameras and extra guards. Just relax and enjoy the evening.” “Where is Emmy?” Penny asked.

Jacob was all business but when Penny asked him a question, his eyes softened. “At the head table.” “I'm going to go sit down.” Penny told me.

“I'll go with her.” Ice said as she let go of Alec and grabbed Penny’s arm from me.

| wanted her to say besidebut | knew that wasn’t exactly possible. Instead, | settled for keeping my mind-link open with her at all times. “I want someone keeping eyes on them at all times.” | said a little more forcefully than needed.

“Already done.” Jacob showeda little camera screen. Similar to what you would see in a baby room but this camera was following Penny's every move. “I slipped a tracker in their dress hems. Each women has one. I'm giving this to a guard. As long as she doesn’t leave this room, eye will be on her. Even in the bathroom. Not in the stalls but where they wash their hands. I'm not a creep.” “Here you guys go.” Jasper walked up with two separate drinks for Alec and |. The smell of bourbon filled my nose as | took a small sip.

“Can everyone take their seats!” The guy working the sound system announced. Making our way to our seats, everyone settled down and the room becquiet.

There was a server standing by my seat, holding a microphone. Penny stood up next toas | took the microphone. “Thank you all for coming.” Cheers filled the room and people clapped, makinglower the mic and wait till they were down. Penny slipped her arm through mine for support as she shifted her weight.

“Thankfully, we were able to ctogether for a few different occasions. First being the celebration of the future heirs for the Blug Fang Pack and the Black Moon Pack!” More cheers even louder as | felt Penny getting emotionally from the added attention. “I think we can all agree how radiant Luna Kristen and Luna Penny look!” The word alpha was on the tip of my tongue but it made Penny incredibly uncomfortable to be referred as Alpha Penny.

“Thank you.” Penny squeaked as | help the microphone to her lips.

“Tomorrow is the Halloween party. Luna Penny, Luna Kristen, Beta Emmy and their team has worked tirelessly to get this event going for everyone. It has been on their list of event they wanted to host for everyone. Please excuse the craziness tomorrow at things get set up for the party. Cocktail hour starts at 4pm, followed by an elegant Halloween thmeal. Lunas, there will be a lunch in the garden, weather permitting and all alphas, there will be a lunch meeting held in the formal dinning room. Both events will take place at noon. Everyone else is welcto enjoy a meal at one of our restaurants or lunch will be provided in this room for all other guest.

Lastly, I would like to personally thank everyone who has responded todeclaring war. All details will be available at the lunch meeting tomorrow. Due to the nature of the reasons, everything will remain private until it is tto release that information. On a brighter note, we have an evening of an elegantly prepared meal, followed by dancing the night away.” The room erupted once more in cheers as the staff brought out the meal for the night. Penny chose Beef Wellington with steamed asparagus. Penny had a crispy chicken salad since beef hasn't been sitting well on her stomach. As we ate, | kept my eyes scanning the room. In total, there was six different alphas, their mates and their betas in tow. They all brought their own security as well as warriors to contribute to the war.

“This turned out really good.” Penny said as she finished her salad.

“lI agree. You did a great job planning all this. I'm sorry | haven't been around to help.” “You have been where you needed to be.” Penny placed her hand on my forearm.

Shoving the last bite in my mouth, | sat back and draped my arm over her chair. Pulling it close to me, she leaned againstas | sipped my drink.

“Have you spoken with Cassie or Zac?” | asked. | almost said parents but stopped myself.

“Zac is almost completely healed and Cassie is Cassie. | ordered them to stay in their house this weekend and not leave. Last thing we need is them talking to the other alphas. What you chose to disclose to them is your business.” | was a little surprised she did that but who was | to argue with how she handled them. “Did something happen?”
