Tattooed Luna by Mrs Smith

Penny POV Everything was going perfectly. Everyone was dancing, laughing and just generally having a great time! | kept bouncing between sitting with Kris and Emmy and talking to the other lunas of our allies. If | wasn’t sitting with one of those groups, you could findin the bathroom. Every five minutes | needed to pee. My boys were having a kick boxing match and | wasn’t sure who was winning.

Needing sfresh breath, | sat on a chair that was near the exit. | had a guard open the door so a breeze was hitting me. Colt was feeling relieved so | hoped that meant he got the news he wanted. However, it was about tforto go hso his meeting needed to hurry up.

“Oh! Luna!” Someone in a Hulk costran up to me.

“What's wrong?” | asked. They were looking around frantically.

“He rejected her! He-he just .... she is dying!” The person in the Hulk coststarted tearing up as they looked behind them and into the hallway.

“Oh no! Showwhere she is!” The Hulk ran out of the room before | could even stand up. Holding onto the rails, | looked for a guard but they were breaking up a fight. “Well, shit.” | muttered.

My swollen legs carriedout of the party and as | looked left and right, | saw a girl laying on her side in the fetal position. The sounds of her crying her eyes out echoed across the whole hallway.

“Down here!” The Hulk yelled. | could feel the swelling so bad on my feet that they jiggled with each step. Still, | went as quickly as | dared.

Coming closer, | saw she was wearing an all black sheet but it was riding up on her legs. A black and blue bruise stuck out on her shin. “What..” Before | even asked her if she was okay, | had to see the rest of her legs. Getting down on my knees, my hands moved the sheet to see that the rest of her legs didn’t even have a single spot that wasn’t bruised. Swas even yellow from healing.

“I'm so sorry.” The girl was crying.

Looking at her face, her eyes met mine. The regret and sadness in them was clear. “What? What are you sorry for?” Her eyes looked behind me. Instant panic rose in me. Before | could even look, a white cloth pressed against my nose. A sickening sweet burning smell ran up my nose and the room started spinning. Relation that | fell right into their trap was the last thing | thought before complete blackness took over.

“She has a massive bowling ball on her stomach. Do you really think tying her up was going to help?” My head was pounding. Angry voices were yelling so loud that | wished the darkness cback. My arms and legs were in just as much pain as my head. Protesting the sposition that | had been in.

Something slammed that echoed so loud that | could barely handle it. My stomach was turning, threatening to empty the snacks | ate. It was only my sheer will-power that | kept anything down.

“Are you awake?” | heard a small girl ask so quietly.

“No.” | groaned.

“Here.” | didn’t open my eyes but | felt her remove the chains from my hands and then from my legs. “You can move now.” Expect, | didn't move. Everything was too worn out. Instead, | just curled into a fetal position and let the blackness takeover again.

Three babies were cooing in front of me. As | walked forward, | noticed the blankets that Colt was acting so strangely about. These were my babies. Putting my hand over my stomach, my knees gave out and the tears filled my eyes.

Signs with Elijah Colt, Cooper Brian and Eliana Penelope were laying across their chest. “My babies?” Picking them up, one by one, | held them against my chest.

“My child.” The sweetest voice | ever heard, cfrom behind me.

Turning, my eyes were blinked by the light until a figure of a women cout. She was walking towards me, ever so lightly. As if she was gliding, she got closer and closer. It wasn’t until she stopped moving and the light died that | realized who she was.

“The Moon Goddess...” | whispered. Panic rose inas | looked at my babies. “Am | dead? Are...are we dead?” “Oh no, my child. Just sleeping right now. | brought you here to warn you... to prepared you.” “Warnof what?” “What is about to come.” Her answer was so basic that | was left confused. As she got closer, she put her hands on my babies. “You need to stay strong for these little ones.” “I'll do anything for them.” | said with full confidence.

“You need to find your inner strength. Not just your internal mother’s instinct but you need to brace your alpha blood. You are the only true alpha of this world. These wolves that are being created are completely against everything | built and it is throwing the balance off. You have to end them. For that to happen, you need to find your power. It’s in there but you need to accept it. Running away isn’t an option anymore.” “What will happen if | don’t?” | asked but when I looked up, she was fading from my view. “Help me! How do I do that?” | was aware of the tears that were running down my face. With my blurry vision, | looked down but my babies were gone.

Everything started fading. “NO!” | screamed as my arm reached out to grab the calm white scenery. | wanted to hold my babies again.

“Look who is deciding to join us.” A male voice replaced the sweet Moon Goddess’s voice.
