Tattooed Luna

Chapter 0551 “Why am I so nervous for this?” | asked. We were driving to Colt’s pack.

“This whole situation is weird. I understand why he would take a mate minutes after he loses one but to have a luna ceremony this quickly?” Alec mirrored my unease about this.

“I haven’t even had a luna ceremony.” “That’s right. We should get on that.” Alec put his hand on my thigh. “I like this dress.” Penny gave me a wrap dress that was flowy to my mid-thigh. The whole thing was slightly frustrating to figure out. The term wrap was quite literal as

had to put it on like a robe and wrap it around me to tie it. However, what Alec didn’t know, I put a little something fun under it.

“What's the point? It’s been so long and so much has happened that it would just feel somewhat like a waste of money.” “Idon’t think so. You deserve one.” Alec pulled up to the helicopter pad at 7:37am. Not even Colt was here yet.

Since it was just the four of us going, I didn’t have to worry about anyone else being late.

“I’m surprised we are here first.” “Me too. How's the ankle?” Alec looked down at my heels. My ankle was still a little bruised but it felt normal.

“Ready to dance circles around you.” Leaning over, I grabbed his tie and pulled him towards me. The kiss I placed on his lips was to make sure he knew what we was going to get tonight.

Colt pulled up beside us as I finally let him go. “Didn’t get enough last night?” Alec straighten up his shirt as I started to get out.

Stepping out of the car, I leaned down at him. “I'll never get enough but since I can still walk today, I think you still have work to do.” Alec narrowed his eyes at me.

Laughing, I shut the door and headed towards the helicopter. “Hey!” Penny waved as they met us walking to the helicopter.

“That dress looks amazing on you!” “Thankyou! I'm not sure it's a winter dress but it does fit well.” “I'm sorry, all I got was it would be indoor and these functions are always so warm.” Colt opened the door for Penny to get in and then helped me climb in. After Alec got in, he got in and shut the door.

We all put our headsets on and buckled up.

“If you don’t mind, Colt is writing an article for the local paper about the bar.

Would you mind if I asked you some questions since you are co-owner?” Penny pulled out a pen and paper from her purse.

Her eyes looked hopeful so I didn’t feel

like I could turn her down. “well, technically Colt is the soul owner.” Alec leaned back and put his arm around me. His thumb was rubbing iny arm, trying to keep my nerves at bay.

We only had about an hour long flight so this would help pass the time.

However, I was never one for interviews.

“T’know but please?” Penny begged.

“Sure.” Penny let out a little squeak of excitement. “Perfect! Okay, first questions. It takes different skills to be able to open and manage a business.

How has owning this bar challenged you?” “I didn’t realize growing up meant

dying inside so I figured I might as well drink and have a good time at it.” Alec actually snorted in laughter, Colt choked on the water he was drinking and Penny gave me a very disapproving look.

“Kristen!” “Fine, let's see. Owning the bar and challenging me...” I had to think about this one. It really hasn’t been that challenging. “I guess learning to balance other obligations and the bar’s obligations.” “I think the most challenging thing for you was to teach your facial expression to use their inside voices.” Colt retorted.

“Oh yeah! I like that answer better.” Nodding quickly, Penny sighed deeply and Alec actually laughed.

“How would you say you learn the best?” Penny ignored us and kept going.

“The fucking hard way.” “I’m just going to make up answers for you.” Penny glared at me and put her pen and paper away.

“That might be best. Ice doesn’t exactly have the personality we would put in front of the cameras anyway.” Colt shook his head at me and pulled Penny next to him to comfort her.

“I'am a fucking delight and it’s all you fuckers that need to gain a sense of humor.” Crossing my arms, Alec was actually enjoying this.

“I honestly don’t know why I even asked. You haven't given a straight answer in years during an interview.”

Penny looked at her watch and looked out the window.

“You are the public perfect personalit- You are the type of person we would put in front of the camera to answer question the correct way and I am the person behind the scenes making all the decision. That is slightly inappropriate and has a loose mouth.” I tried to make her feel better. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“You're not wrong.” Colt started fidgeting.

“Why are you restless?” I asked him.

Colt looked defensive. “What do you think I am restless?” “you keep moving. This whole thing is making you nervous too, huh?”

“Tjust don’t like it.” Penny looked up at Colt. “It just happened so fast.” She put her hand nn his leg. “I think it wouldn’t be so nerve racking if we would have went to a funeral or there would have been at least a month between her death and another luna ceremony. I know it’s not unheard of but damn.” “She was such a sweet lady too.” I said as the helicopter started dropping. “I hate this part.” Alec pulled me close as I tried to sit still. Each time it dropped, my stomach would go into my throat.

“It’s not that bad.” Colt looked at me amused.

My claws were literally digging into Alec, “We are literally falling out of the sky.”
