Tattooed Luna novel (Kristen and Alec) novel Chapter 2

Chapter 0002

 

“Where have you girls been?” As soon as our bikes pulled up to the pack house, my mother was already jumping down my throat. For a Luna, she was especially over bearing and always nagging on me about something I did wrong. I was never good enough in her eyes.

 

She was a tiny thing a just under 5’5” and not an ounce of fat on her. Luna An n was a force to be wrecked with if she has her mind made up. Usually, she always believes I am wrong without even hearing my side. Thankfully, Colt can see through her. She is technically our step-mother as our mother died giving birth to us. Dad mated with her not even a year later. Colt was a spinning image of our dad. Even though we looked similar, I looked more like my mother growing up.

 

“Just finished up at the shop. We are going to go for a run and meet some friends for supper.” I said stopping in front of her.

 

“I don’t think so! You haven’t finished any of the work that I put on the list for you!” A little vein threatened to burst in her forehead.

 

“I did it this morning! Before school! Did you even check before you accuse me of something?” I yelled, instantly pis sed.

 

“What is going on here?” Dad, Colt and the boys walked out of the pack house.

 

“Once again, she is ignoring her duties I gave her and being disrespectful! This is the last time!” She raised her hand to slap me across the face. Fortunately, Colt stepped in and caught her hand before she do it.

 

“You will not hit her.” Colt said with narrow eyes.

 

“You little brat!”

 

“An n, enough. Kris, did you do your chores?” Dad asked as he folded his hands over his chest.

 

“Yes, sir. I did them this morning before school.”

 

“She is lying!” Luna An n shrieked.

 

“No, I’m not!” I yelled back as I grabbed my phone. “See?” I held up my email to show my dad. Intentionally, walking around An n as I didn’t want to show her.

 

“Looks like she did it.” Dad nodded. “What are you doing this evening?”

 

“Emmy and I were going to go for a run and then meet the guys at the pizza parlor.”

 

“That is what I told you.” Colt stood up for me.

 

“Okay. Have a good run.” Dad said handing me back my phone.

 

“I also emailed you the report from today. I should let you know that Alpha Marc’s son came in and asked for a full back tattoo. I gave him the papers and he is coming in tomorrow to get it started.”

 

Dad looked at me for a minute. “What time?”

 

“4pm, sir.”

 

“Okay, I will swing by sometime.” Dad nodded and turned to leave.

 

“That’s it? No punishment for being disrespectful?” Ann chased after Dad.

 

“What did you do to get her fired up like that?” Colt asked.

 

“We literally just pulled up. She was waiting here when we got here. I can’t wait to get out of this f uc king place. Come our 18th birthday, I am gone.” I said to Colt as Emmy and I headed to our rooms to change.

 

“Running away isn’t the answer.”

 

“What is going to change? You won’t be Alpha for another seven years. Dad already said you will get it once you are 25 and not sooner. I’m not waiting around for seven more years of this.”

 

“What if your mate is here?” Colt asked. We were at my bedroom and all three guys looked like I punched them in the face.

 

“I hope he will like to travel, I will be traveling the world for seven years.” Going into my closet, I changed into a of black spandex shorts, a neon pink sports bra that popped out of the black sport razer back tank I put on.

 

When I got out, I grabbed a hair tie and loosely tied it back into a pony tail. “Look, I know you don’t like it but what else do you want me to do? A girl can only handle so much with no one in her corner.”

 

“I’m in your corner.” Colt said.

 

“And I love you for it but you know you can only do so much. You aren’t there to stop the physical hits.”

 

“I hate that.” Colt looked down at his shoes.

 

“It’s fine. You have hit me harder than that.” I joked as I grabbed my phone and ear buds.

 

“Not that same thing.” Colt’s eyes narrowed.

 

“I love you, bro but I don’t have any options.” Finally, grabbing my black and pink tennis shoes, I put them on. “I need to go run.” I debated if I wanted to put on another sports bra as my watermelons occasionally hurt when running.

 

“Ready?” Emmy bounced in my room.

 

“Yes!” I was happy she was here.

 

“See you boys!”

 

“We will be at the pizza parlor in an hour!” Jacob yelled after us.

 

“Got it!” As we ran out of the packhouse, I could still hear An n going off to my dad about me when we passed his office. His door wasn’t fully shut but I didn’t want to risk getting into trouble, so we kept going.

 

“What path?” Emmy asked as she fixed her air-pods.

 

“Let’s run down town today. We can take the long way to the parlor.” Center was the name of the town that all of the packs used. It wasn’t part of anyone’s territory and it’s where our school is located.

 

“Sounds good.”

 

 

“No need for that. I will handle her disrespect. Please accept my apologizes on her behalf.” Alec looked murderous as he held her upper arm like a child. She was still bending her neck in submission.

 

Pulling back my aura, I stepped back so the audience we had gained, looked away. “I don’t give second changes.” I said looking directly in Alec’s eyes.

 

“Noted.”

 

“Um, Kris?” Wendy softly called behind me.

 

I heard Alec drag the b itch with him outside. “Thank you for the glasses.” I said with a smile. Taking them, I went to fill them up. Most people know me and know of my reputation so it’s not often I am messed with.

 

“Need help?” Turning, I saw Colt walking up behind me with his girlfriend, Kara.

 

“Please.” I said as I handed them the glasses.

 

“What is up with Alpha Alec?” Colt asked.

 

“His bi tch was being disrespectful. I told her to step outside and he said he would handle it so I let him handle it.” We were walking back to the table. The round table that Jacob picked was a little tight so we were sitting shoulder to shoulder. Somehow, I got pushed against Ace. He lifted his arm and rested on the boot behind me. It wasn’t a romantic gesture but more of a necessity so we could eat.

 

“How was your run?” The girl on Jacob’s arm asked me, shyly.

 

“It was good. Helps me clear my head.” I said, making nice. I could clearly see Jacob relax at my tone.

 

“I wish I enjoyed running but it’s never been for me.” She took a sip of her drink.

 

“So, Kris, hows business?” Kara asked me. We aren’t super close since I don’t think she will last either. Colt gets bored and honestly, until he finds his mate or tells me he actually loves them, I don’t get too attached.

 

“Great. Already ahead of last year.” The pizza arrived then.

 

“I said three larges!” Jacob said looking at it all.

 

“You three men will eat a large to yourself.” Colt usually orders five larges and they will always get ate fully. Not sure why Jacob only wanted three.

 

The gang started chatting and I stared off into space. It wasn’t until my eyes landed on a set of green ones that I me ntally came back to it. He signaled for me to follow him outside as he was standing by the front door.

 

“I need to get out for a second.” I said. Colt, Kara and Emmy slide out so I could get out too.

 

“Do you need me to go?” Ace asked in my mind-link.

 

“No. Probably wants to make sure I don’t kill his girlfriend.”

 

I felt this disapproval from him. We weren’t together but occasionally when we got drunk, we would make out. It never went past that but he always had a slight jealousy when it came to me.

 

Walking out, I spotted Alec sitting on his bike. “Wasn’t sure if you were going to come out or not.” He said. The hairs on my arms were instantly raised.
