Tattooed Luna by Mrs Smith

Chapter 0567 “Ice...” Colt walked up behind me and got my attention by nudging me.

Turning, we looked over at him. “Time to start dinner.” The words were barely out of his mouth when the lights flickered, signalling everyone to get to their seats.

Out of pure spite, we did not include Anthony and Ann at the head table with the rest of us. Instead, they were sitting at a table with random pack members to the side of the room. It was away so there wouldn’t be a reason for them to pass our table for anything and we wouldn’t have to pass their table.

“Thank you all for coming!” Colt stood up and started his entry speech.

Everyone immediately stopped whispering, except Anthony and Ann.

“I’m sorry, Luna Ann? I understand you are new to this luna stuff after being in jail for a while but it is rude to speak when someone else is. Would you mind refraining and pay attention? Thank you.” The sweetness from my voice was thick.

Ann looked pissed off that I swear steam was coming from her ears and Anthony was equally annoyed. The room had quiet laughter before Colt got back to his speech. “Tonight, we have beef wellington. If you would prefer a vegan option, just let your server know and they will bring you eggplant spaghetti ora salad. After dinner, we will be moving the tables and having a dance. Drinks will be

served all night until 11pm. Please drink responsibly. I would like to recognize Luna Penny and Luna Kristen for all their hard work in making this possible!” He started clapping and everyone joined in. Penny and I stood up before sitting down again. Colt clapped his hands and the servers immediately brought out carts of steaming hot food.

«1 Jove watching this.” Echo laughed.

She was sitting directly in front of me on the table.

“Watching what?” I said as I sat back for the food to be placed in front of me.

“Alec, can you get me a drink?” I asked quietly.

“I got you, Jack and Dr. pepper?” Colt said and stood up. N

“Yes, please.” “Whiskey?” Colt looked at Alec.” “Yeah, thanks.” Alec nodded.

“Alpha Colt. Stay here. I will be your personal server today. The staff and I had a conversation and we would prefer if everyone stayed here and we will get any drinks while the dinner is being eaten. That way, Luna Kristen won't be left alone.” The server bowed multiple times like he was worried he was going to get into trouble.

“Are you sure?” Colt asked, slightly taken aback.

“Oh yes, we like Luna Kristen and will do it for her.” He bowed one last time before walking off.

«Find out who that is and give him a bonus.” Lifting my eyes at Colt, he

nodded in agreement.

“Like I was saying, I will enjoy this.” Echo repeated herself. Apparently, she wanted to let me know what she was thinking.

“Enjoy what?” I asked. Out of the corner of my eye, I watched Ann glare at me.

“You standing up to Ann. She is pissed and it’s beautiful.” “Stop watching Ann and enjoy yourself.” Alec muttered in our mind- link.

“yes, Alpha.” I replied. I felt the desire run through him but he kept working on his food.

«1 swear I saw her face turn red as a tomato!” Emily added.

“It felt nice.” I had to admit. The server came back with drinks for us. I watched as Colt pulled the server to hirn and handed him a couple hundred dollars.

“I can’t wait. This is going to be the best night we have had in a long time!” Echo laughed out loud.

“Is that so?” Jace looked at Echo and challenged her with a smile.

It was all I could do but not spit my food out as we watched Echo try to get back into his good graces. The jack was going down so smooth that I was happy we didn’t have to drive. Just walk into the woods. I was finished eating and so was Alec so I just leaned back into him.

“Isn’t this cozy?” Ann walked up behind Echo but was looking at me.

Both of our eyes went to the red wine she was holding.

“How was your meal? I hope you found the salad.... editable.” “One step up from dog food but what should I expect from you.” Ann looked at my dress.

Echo stood up quickly, knocking the red wine down Ann’s dress from the back of her head. “I’m so sorry!” Echo faked looking surprised.

“You stupid bitch!” Ann shrieked. Jace stood up, between them as Anthony walked forward.

“What is going on?” He looked at Jace and then at Ann. His eyes traveled down her dress and to her empty cup.

“There was a small accident. I hope

you brought another dress.” Again, the sweetness from my voice was sickening but it was the laugh I. was trying to hide that caught their attention.

“Thankfully, I did bring another.” Ann grabbed her dress and pulled. Echo was standing on it so she was momentarily caught off balance but Jace caught her and planted a kiss like it was intentional.

“1 owe you.” I said as Echo took her seat back.

“It was purely an accident. I have no idea what you are talking about.” Echo acted like she was in fact innocent. The serves came around to collect the empty plates.

“What dress do you think she brought with her?” Emmy asked.

“Will it matter? It will be stained shorty.” Emily stood up. “I need to use the restroom.” Lars and a few others headed off to the bathroom.

“Did you not need to go?” Alec asked.

“No.” I pulled his head closer to mine.

“I’m ready to dance.” “Me too.” Alec leaned his head in and breathed in my scent before nibbling on my neck.

“1 have a surprise for you.” I told him before he looked at me in the eyes, confused.
