Tattooed Luna

"Oh, if that is what you want, I'm all for it." Looking at Penny, she seemed conflicted.

"I'm not real sure. I'll think about it." Penny seemed like she wanted to say something but held her tongue. Kristen had opened her mouth to say something but Jace and Lars sat down beside us. “Our mates are trying to kill us.” Jace said.

"A bit tic, don't you think? You had to hang up three mason jar chandeliers.” Kristen rolled her eyes at them.

"It's like twenty feet high!" Lars shook his head. "You guys should go all out for just a BBQ." "I have a reputation to keep. Thank you very much." "I didn't say it was bad!" Jace looked hurt as the glare Kristen was giving them.

"Half of it was your mate's idea so unless you wantto tell them you hate it..." Kristen's threat trailed off.

"Why did we sit here?" Lars grumbled.

Kristen threw a chip at him. "Because you love me." My food was gone and I still had so much shit to do it wasn't funny. "As much as I am enjoying watching my sister take down two farce alphas, I have work to do." Standing up, I kissed Penny on the forehead and walked out.

As much as I have enjoyed having my old friends around, I'm ready for less people here. It felt like shit was still going on and it was almost suffocating. Leaving Penny was always hard but it did seem less stressful today.

Bypassing my office, I went to my babies instead. Opening the door, the nannies were in the middle of changing their diapers. "Alpha? What a pleasant surprise." "I just wanted to csee them and how things were going." Walking up, she just finished changing Elaina. Holding her up for me, I was able to take

her and cradle her in my arms. She looked up atand my heart just melted. There wasn't anything I wouldn't do for this girl. She had her mother's eyes, makingpowerless in them.

"She hasn't ate yet. Do you want to feed her?" I was torn. My desire to feed her and put off my paperwork was very strong but I clearly remembered the midnight and three A.M. feeding and that helped. "I need to get swork done." Handing her back, I walked over to my boys. They were cuddled together in the bassinet, sleeping very soundly. After giving them both a soft kiss on the forehead, I went to leave.

"Colt?" Penny opened the door before I got there and walked in.

"Hey." Damn, I got caught.

"What are you doing here?" She was smiling at me, like she knew she caught me.

"Just wanted to see the kids." "You have work to do." She gavea look and walked past me.

"I know, I'm going." "Have fun!" She yelled as I shut the door.

There was a part ofthat wished Alec was back in my office but when I opened the door was lafe brokenhearted. Sitting down in my office, I started the daunting task of signing my nand answering emails. Every tI thought it has been hours, I looked at the clock and it had only moved five minutes. After the fourth time, I decided that the clock was actually broken.

RING! "Thank you!" I muttered as I picked up my phone. "Alpha Colt." "Alpha Colt, I am calling on behalf of the hospital. You wanted a call when you could do squestioning?" It was a nurse but she was trying to discrete.

I had completely forgotten about Gunther and Kara. "I'll be right there." I said and hung up. Grabbing my cell, I dialed Alec. "Yeah?" "He's awake." Is all I said. He knew who I meant, there wasn't a reasonMaterial © NôvelDrama.Org.

to elaborate.

"Meet you there." He said and hung up. I was already out of my office and down the hall.

I could hear a few people call out tobut I was focused and needed to get to the hospital There wasn't a reason to really question him about where Vin would be but he could answer squestions regarding who operates at the casino. Alec must have been right behindbecause as I opened the hosptial door, he walked in a second later.

"Alpha Colt, Alpha Alec..." The nurse nodded in respect. "This way." She turned and went down a random hallway.

"Where are we going?" I asked. This wasn't the way we went before.

"He was moved due to needing the extra space for everyone you saved." She said without looking back at us. Instead, she walked with a purpose down a few more hallways before stopping. "He is in there with Kara. The doctor is actually in there as well." "Thank you." I said and opened the door. Everyone stopped talking and looked to see who was coming in but the doctor kept going after realizing it was just me.

"... can coff later today. You can go htonight." "What's the verdict?" I asked the doctor.

"He is good to go. The swelling in his brain has gone and since he has woken up, he has passed all the needed testing. I'll take the cast off his leg when you are done here but then he can go home." "Where is home?" Gunther asked, looking at me.

The doctor took the opportunity and left the room. "That depends on your answers." I said using my alpha voice. Kara was holding his hand but put her head down and walked over to the couch.

Gunther moved so he was sitting up straighter in bed. “Kara said it was over, Vin was dead?" Apparently, the nurses told them. "Yes. Vin and Joe are dead." Gunther nodded like he was trying to convince himself that he was safe. He looked over at Kara and back at me. “What are your questions?"
