Tattooed Luna novel (Kristen and Alec) novel Chapter 85

Chapter 0085
“I really do. Thank you.” Turning, I flung my arms around him. He hugged me tightly for a few seconds
before letting me go.
“We better get moving, your brunch starts in five minutes
“Okay.” We headed to the door and down to the kitchen. “I’m going to need to go to your office after this and call Calvin in there. He owes me 100 pushups.”
“You were serious about that?” Alec laughed.
“Of course!” We walked into the formal dining room to everyone yelling happy birthday!
“Thanks!” I said to everyone but I ran up to Colt and gave him a big hug.
“I’m so happy for you, sis.” He whispered in my ear.
“Thank you. Have you found your mate yet?”
“No but it isn’t Kara. I saw her earlier and she ran away crying.” Colt said as he let go of me and shook Alec’s hand. Dad came over and hugged me before shaking Alecs hand as well. Even Alec’s parents were
there.
“Welcome to the family.” Alpha Marc said to me as he shook Alec’s hand.
“Thank you! I’m happy to be part of this pack.
“Let me see it!” Emmy squealed.
Pulling my dress to the side, I showed them my mark. “Nice!” Colt said.
“Pretty!” Emmy yelled before pulling me to the table.”I’m starving so can we eat?”
“Of course!” Everyone sat down around the table. There were different foods that really made my stomach growl. I grabbed a chicken Caesar salad and water.
“How’s the decorations coming along?” I asked dad.
“Well, I had to call Penny over since you weren’t available. She has got it down.” Colt answered for dad.
“Ah, she is amazing.” I agreed.
“I’ll go down there after this and make sure it’s looking good.” Dad followed up.
“I see you had some people help clean your shop.” Alpha Marc said to me.
“Alec and Colt organized that but yes, they got it cleaned out. We picked the design yesterday.” I
answered.
“Should be ready in a week or so.” Alec nodded.
“That’s good to hear!” Alpha Marc said a little too cheerful. Looking around, everyone was looking a little
too chipper. Their smiles seemed a tad too big.
“Damit.” Alec muttered.
“What is going on here?” I asked the room.
“What do you mean?” Colt asked.
My eyes zeroed in on him. “Cut the c rap, what happened?”
Colt sighed. “Told you, man.” He said to Alec.
“I know.” Alec let go of the breath he was holding and turned to look at me. “Darin and the ranking wolves. will be there tonight. He has requested a song to dance with you on.”
My heart sank to my stomach. “So, you all thought you would keep that to yourself?” I looked at each one
of them.
“Just until after lunch. I was going to tell you before your massage.” Emmy looked ashamed.
“I don’t have to do it, do I?” I looked at Alec.
“No, you don’t.” He responded forcefully. That helped but my stomach still felt uneasy.
“We are trying to keep appearances up…” Dad started. I knew what that meant. Play nice till we strike.
Acceptance filled me as I stabbed more salad and shoved it into my mouth. “Kristen..” Alec reached and and started running my back. 1
Oddly, it did help calm me. “It’s fine. I’ll do it.”
“Ice, yo-” Colt started.
“I said it’s fine. Move on.” I snapped. I instantly felt bad. “Excuse me.” Standing up, I walked quickly out of the kitchen and into the hall bathroom. Taking a deep breath, I worked on calming my nerves.
“Kristen?” Alec was on the other side.
“Come in.” I was resting my hands on the vanity and looking at myself in the mirror.
Alec opened the door but didn’t make a move to touch me. Instead, he leaned against the wall. “Are you
okay?”
