Tattooed Luna

By the twe got hlast night, the babies were all sleeping and just had ate. They were all in their own rooms, wrapped tightly in their swaddles and looked so peaceful.

It almost felt wrong to lay in bed and go to sleep for a few hours before they were up and at it again. Twice, we had gotten up and taken care of the kids before they refused to go to sleep again. It wasn't until we put all three babies in the scrib that they laid next together and went to sleep.

I was laying there in bed before the sun cup, listening to the quiet noises of house when a faint sound of tires on gravel got my attention. Still, I didn't think anything of it until I heard the front door open and close. At this point, all my eternal bells were going off.

As quietly as I could, I got up and crept down the hallway. Two people were quietly whispering when I reached the stairs. "I told you no!" Relief floodedwhen I recognized Ice's voice. Half annoyed, I went to the babies and gathered them to take them down stairs. With any luck, Penny would be able to sleep in.

Little Adalynn was cooing softly in the bassso I just deposited my three and went into the kitchen. "The fuck are you doing here?" I whispered.

Ice about jumped out of her skin as a quiet shriek escaped her lips. Her eyes were wide but as soon as she recognized me, she got annoyed. "The hell is wrong with you?" She has as she clutched her heart.

"You sneak into my house and you want to ask what is wrong with me?" Emmy was quietly sitting in the corner with a cup of coffee. Her snickering brought my attention to her and that instantly took the smile off her face.

"Alec got the result and he is waiting for you in your office. I cto help with the babies till the nannies get here." She turned back around and started cracking eggs.

"A phone call or text would have been nice." I growled as I walked up the stairs. As quietly as I could, I walked into our bedroom, grabbed sjeans, socks and a t-shirt and walked out. Getting dressed in the babies room so I didn't wake Penny up with my belt buckle, I went back down stairs.

"Here." Ice held out a thermos. The coffee smelled amazing as I just nodded my head and walked out of the house. The black coffee started melting away the sleep but the need to get a better lock on the door kept growing.

The whole drive to the pack house was a blur so when I parked and stepped out of the vehicle, I was a little surprised to find I was here already. The place was crawling with pack members and guest getting ready for the big party tonight. Why Kirsten decided she needed to be at my house cooking eggs instead, was beyond me.

My office door was open and Alec was sitting at my desk on his laptop. "Keep your mate out of my house." I grumbled as I walked in.

Alec just raised an eyebrow atas I sat down on the couch. "Need sbreakfast?" Ignoring him, I just decided I might as well get to work. "Dipshit said you got results back?" "We have a list of who the girls are related to and we were able to match it. A few of these girls were part it of spacks that were wiped out and presumed dead. Those lands are just sitting there as far as I am aware. A few more have relatives from packs in Europe. Lastly, all the remaining girls don't have any relatives left." "What about the girls the packs were gone?" "They have relatives but they are distant and according to the records, left the original pack for their mate's pack. The other girls don't have any connection that we can find so far." "Or they lived off the grid or on the run." I added. If their family spent generations living a certain lifestyle, there wouldn't be any evidence of who they are.

"Possible but at least we know their names. They have been going by names they picked. We have to re-register them so they can pick their own names if they wanted or take back their birth names." Alec sighed.

"When are they doing that?" I asked as my stomach growled.

"A few of the other alphas wanted to be here for that. They are scheduled to be here within the hour and the girls will be here around the stime. Between yours and Penny's office, this area is big enough for everyone to do it here." "That's fine. We can open everything up." Standing up, I started rearranging a few things so people could all sit here comfortably. Pulling up sfolding chairs from the closet. I had just finished moving the baby items off to the side when the office door opened and people started piling in. "I was asked to bring you this." Jace walked up towith a plate of scrambled eggs, sausage with salsa and pepper on the top. "The kitchen said this is how you like it." Alec avoided my gaze as I took it. "Thanks." Taking it, I sat down in a chair and started eating.

"Why aren't you sitting behind your desk?" Lars ask as him and who I assumed his beta walked in There was a shy looking girl clutched to his hand. Her eyes were wide as they took a seat in the far corner, like she was trying to blend in. "This is Alec's show, I did my part." Shoveling a bit into my mouth, I just ignored him.

By the tI was done eating, the room was completely filled. "Is Antho-" Alec started to ask but then Anthony walked in.

"I'm here." He said and closed the door behind him. "Let's begin."
