Tattooed Luna

Kristen POV Huge white snowflakes fell out of the dark sky and onto the grass below. These last six months have been as peaceful as it is when you watch the snow cover the trees. There hasn't been any threat on our lives and my shop was growing larger than I ever expected.

Currently, Alec was giving Adalynn a bath so I had a few moments to myself. Colt and Penny were going to cover for dinner. Wanting to relax a little, I grabbed the bottle of Jack and poured myself a glass. Now, I was standing by the balcony windows, watching the white bullshit collect on my precious grass.

"All done, mommy!" Alec cup behindwith our daughter. She looked just likebut had her dad's piercing green eyes. Adalynn was such a daddy's girl that if he was in the room, she didn't want me. Though, nothing melts your heart faster than watching your mate bond with your children.

"You look so pretty!" I said with a big smile. She was all dressed in a zip up onesie, ready for bed. "I got a bottle for you!" Holding the bottle out, she reached out and grabbed it, greedily.

“She has a little tooth coming through." Alec said as he tried to help her put the bottle in her mouth. Her eyes instantly rolled back and closed so Alec cradled her in his arms.

"She isn't acting like it hurts her." I said watching them.

The door bell rang, interruptingtrying to get a look. "Can you get that? It's probably Vivian." Vivian was our personal nanny. Since I was a little jealous of Colt getting our mother's house, Alec builtone. We have only be in it for a little over a week now but I loved it.

It was like a ranch style meets barndominium. When you walk in, the foyer was large with an office on one side and a closet on the other. When you kept walking, it opened up to a massive room that included the livingroom, kitchen and informal dinningroom. Stairs were off to the side that lead to a loft. The balcony looked over the entire room but only a bathroom and closet was up there. Stairs went

down into a man's cave area. Complete with a groom and bedrooms. The master bedroom was on the other side of the livingroom. We had a huge walk in closet and bathroom. There was two other bedrooms on the main floor, each had their own bathrooms. With a three car garage, you can either enter the house through the pantry or through the mudroom, depends on your needs. All the trim was treated dark stained oak. The flooring was grey with brown hues but a matted finish so whatever the kids did to it was going to be well hidden. The walls were either a gray, sage or a shade of blues. It was my safe place.

The wall to vaulted ceiling windows made great views when I was stuck inside. Although, I hated the snow, it was very pretty to watch. Alec had lit a fire and we turned the lights down low for a romantic quiet evening.

"Hey!" It was Vivian at the door. Since Colt requested a dinner, I decided to have Vivian chang out with Adalynn since it wasn't quite her bedtyet and I wasn't sure what Colt was going to tell us.

"It's getting wet out there! The snow is really accumulating!" Ugh! Don't say that! I joked as she ook off her boots and hung up her coat. "I think Alec took Adalynn up tc he loft." Currently, the loft was Adalynn's play room. It wasrap the triplets and her up there vith the baby gates I had installed. The T.V. was wall mounted and the cords ran behind the walls so there vas nothing up there to hurt them. The bathroom and closet were ocked shut so I was confident in hem being safe. Not to mention an adult is always with them. Content elongs to english"Perfect!" Vivian was getting up there in age but didn't have any grandkids of her own. Her own kids hadn't found their mates yet so she was getting her fixes with Adalynn and the triplets. How she managed to care for four babies at once... I have no idea.

Following Vivian, she walked up the stairs and I went to the kitchen to get the food out. They should be e here any minute so I ready. Using one of Wanted to be mother's recipes, I made a roasted salmon with steamed broccoli. The salmon was about done so I put the salad out on the table. "Need any help?" Alec's voice startled me. The fork I was putting down went flying across the table.

"Shit!" Alec chuckled at my distress.

"So jumpy." Picking up the fork, he tossed it back across the table and looked around.

"I was thinking." Giving him a glare, he just shook his head and smiled.

"What do you think Penny and Colt want to tell us?" Alec asked as he walked over to the refrigerator and grabbed a beer.

"Who knows. Maybe he finally decided to stop arguing withet about the Winter Ball." I was still bitter. Ever since the whole fiasco wanted with win and Joe, Colt hasco to have a party of any sorts. However, I put my foot down and said we are doing this. The other alphas wanted to get together more and there are so many more teens that are over eighteen. These parties help find their mates. "Never thought I would see the day that Kristen Anderson would want to put a dress on." Alec was leaning against the island. He was smirking as his brought up the beer can to his lips.

"Kiss my ass." Tossing the spoon I had in my hand, he easily dodged it. Which just annoyedmore.
