Tattooed Luna novel (Kristen and Alec) novel Chapter 544

“I think I’m ready now.” I told Alec after a few more minutes of us sitting here.

He stood up and helped me out of the shower before turning it off. There was a towel on the toilet he sat me on so he could dry me off easier. As soon as he dried my body, he wrapped a towel around his body. I took a brush and brushed my hair as he went to the bedroom to get us clothes.

He came back as soon as I was done brushing my hair. Alec helped me into a thick pair of sweats and a long sleeve shirt. He put sock on my feet before putting my boot on.

I expected him to help me to the livingroom but instead, he picked up the blow dryer and started working on my hair. It was a little awkward as he wasn’t exactly sure how to do this but I appreciated the effort. By the end, my hair was dry. Grabbing a clip, I clipped it back.

“I’m ready.”

Putting my arm around his neck, he helped me to oversized chair. Giving me the fluffiest blanket we had, he got a fire started. “Do you want anything hot to drink? Coffee? Hot chocolate?”

A knock on the door kept me from answering. “Colt’s here already?”

“No, that’s Jasper.” Alec said as he went to the door.

I heard Emmy walk in with my dress. She went straight to my closet and hung it up. “How are you feeling?” Jasper walked in front of me and held out a cup.

“Sore.” I said as I reached out and took it.

“Emmy said you might want some hot chocolate.” Jasper said as she came out of the bedroom. Alec went back to the fire.

“Thank you.” I said as Emmy crawled under the blanket and sat beside me.

“You saved my life today.” Emmy whispered.

“Sounds like you need to start training again.” I said as I took a sip.

“How’s your thigh?” Jasper asked.

“It’s fine. I’m really just sore from trying to get on the ice.”

“The bite didn’t go too deep. Plus, the cold water helped stop any bleeding so it’s really looking good.” Alec said as he stood up.

“I bet you are tired. We can talk tomorrow if need be?” Jasper looked at me and then over at Alec.

“Where’s Adalynn?” I asked Alec.

“She is in her room sleeping. Vivian just left.”

That really sucked. I knew the hospital stay forced me to miss her bedtime but part of me was hoping she was awake. “It’s fine. We can talk now.” I said but I really just wanted everyone to go away.

“You sure?” Emmy asked.

“Yeah, we are sleeping in tomorrow so don’t call me.” The hot chocolate felt amazing as it went down my throat.

Alec folded his arms and sat down on the fireplace. His eyes stayed on me for the most part unless he was talking to someone. “Highly unlikely. We need to think about who else it could be.”

“We just got back to a peaceful state.” I muttered. The internal battle with myself was strong. I wanted to feel depressed from all the drama but I wasn’t sure what drama there even was.

“So far, their attempts have been pretty minimal. The attack at my pack was smaller and they sent four to attack the girls. That trip was a last minute decision. It might have been an opportunity kind of thing.” Colt tried to rationalize things. “There are still people who supported Rip. They could have just seen the girls and said, why not.”

“That’s true. Right now, we don’t have anything to go on.” Jasper said as he looked at Alec.

“Let’s stay alert and hope these are just normal pack attacks. We all know the risks of traveling to neutral territory.” Colt tried to down play it like it wasn’t a direct attack on us.

Something told me this wasn’t that. My eyes landed on Alec’s and he mirrored my thoughts. “That’s it? We wait and see what happens next? Next time she might not make it!” Emmy sounded almost hysterical.

“Hey! Why are you assuming it will be me that gets hurt? Next time it is your turn!”

“I mean, you put herself in harms way to protect others.” Emmy tried to defend her words.

“Nope. Next time I am going to throw you in front of them to save myself. I just need to be faster than you.” My eyes traveled down her body and back up. Giving her a disapproving look.

“You are suppose to be my luna!” Emmy exclaimed.

“Exactly, you are suppose to die to protect me. If I happen to toss you in harms way to save myself, no one will be around to rat me out. You will be dead.” Shrugging, it was really her loss. “Sorry for you luck.”
