Tattooed Luna

For the last thirty minutes, | have let the hot water run over my back. With my hands on the wall, | just let the water massage my achy back. The stress and anxiety from having every choice | made being analyzed was getting to me.

I've been going over each decision | made, questioning if | did the right thing. So far, | stand by every choice | did but that doesn’t mean there was a better way to go about it. There was no way in hell | was going to sit back and not do everything in my power to protect my family.

Only when the water turned cold, did | turn it off. That was one thing about the pack house verse the house. The house had limited hot water, where the pack house had multiple hot water tanks. It was next to impossible to run out of hot water.

The door opened as | was drying myself off. “How did your meeting go?” Penny leaned against the door frwith her hands crossed over her chest.

“I mean... it went good, | think. They are looking over all the reports and we will meet again tomorrow. | am hoping sof them telltonight they are on board.” “Are sof them not?” “I don't think that is it. Well, maybe for Anthony but the rest just want to be caught up on everything that is going on. Plus, they want to interview Tanya, Sherry and probably Zac. I'm hoping they agree with all my decisions | have made and halfway hoping they see something | missed.” “Why are you hoping for that?” Penny moved out of the way so | could make my way to the bedroom. The costwas laying out across the bed.

“I'm hoping they find something else we can explore so we have a direction but on the other hand, | hope they don't. | want to think | saw everything and was able to do the exact sthing they would have in that position.” The last thing | wanted to do was put this robe on but Penny already had her hair and makeup done. | wasn’t going to ruin this for her. However, I'm sure she could feel my emotions and knew | wasn’t in the mood for a party... not that | had a choice.

“I'm positive you did everything you felt was right in that moment. Everyone rethinks their actions after the fact. It's part of life.” | knew Penny was trying to makefeel better but it wasn't working.

“Are you ready to go?” | asked without looking at her. Refusing to wear just the robe, | put on shorts and a tank before grabbing the robe.

“I'am. Just need to put on my wrap. | need your help for that.” After fixing my robe, | looked at her as | put on the necklace. “Did you get your belly painted?” Penny smiled and opened her robe. The Earth was painted on her belly perfectly. “What do you think?” “That looks really good. Who did that?” “Kris.” Penny dropped her robe and pulled out two pieces of her costume. | was partially surprised with how much skin she was showing but | felt proud of her for it. The top was more like a glorified bra that zipped in the back. It fully covered her but still looked sexy. The skirt was tight around her ass but flowed nicely down to the ground. She had a train. | would say that would make it hard to dance but she wasn’t going to be out there. The white lienen material really captured the Moon Goddess vibes.

Even the greenery in her hair tied it together.

“You look great.” | told her with as much as a smile as | could muster.

“Thanks. Ready go to?” She lookedup and down before handingmy extremely large cane.

“I'am.” She led the way as we walked down the stairs and to the car.

It was about an hour drive so we fell into a comfort silence. She was messaging on her phone as | staying in my head.

Finding the girls would be the next step. Maybe completely taking out the whole operations. If | had the help of these men, we could break up and take it all out. Take out sof the alphas that are involved and who run their packs the way Rip did.

That would be the best outcreally. | wasn't sure if it was possible but it was something worth mentioning to the table. My mind was so preoccupied that we arrived at the venue souly out of memory.

“This place is already filled!” Penny's voice brought my mind back to the present.

She was right. Headlights were covering the valet parking, strings of purple, orange and (egligntsieté!! coyeringednysitace Jack-o-lanterns were carved and lining the doorways. Disco lights were reflecting through the windows as we pulled up. Please read the original

“Alpha Colt.” | was greeted by a warrior. He opened my door for me.

I ” .

Thank you.” | said as | walked around. Opening the door for oli helped her RA theSekicle er Hey Was § large that | wondered how her back felt. Still, she kept a smile on her face as we walked inside.

The lights were turned down low with purple and red lights ran across the ceiling and walls. Monster themed music was playing quietly as people mingled.

“This turned out so great!” Penny gushed.

“Is there a meal?” | asked. | becaware that | haven't actually paid attention to how this event was going to go.
