Chapter 131
Blake unbuttoned his shirt and took it off . Desire burnt inside me . He didn’t understand how much his nakedness affected me . I bite my lip and looked at his chest . There was a little plastic wrap over his wolf tattoo . He slowly peeled it off exposing the 2 howling wolves .
“ You never told me why you have 2 wolves there now ? You had one didn’t you ? ” I looked at the tattoo remembering the time he had told me it was a frat thing .
“ The wolves are a symbol of power . Because I come with an Alpha bloodline , I get a wolf symbol . Dad and grandad have them as well . So does Max because he is still part of the bloodline . But when you find your mate , it becomes 2 , symbolising the Alpha and the Luna . The tattoo appears itself , however , you have to get the other part done . ”
There that word was again . Luna ? I still didn’t really understand why I was a Luna .
“ What other part ? ” I looked at the tattoo more carefully .
There between the wolf and the barbwire was my name . I remembered Blake telling me how they had inserted quotation marks to put their girlfriend’s names and that one day my name would be on there .
I looked up at Blake . He had my name permanently inked into his body as part of something so crucial to his people .
Tears formed in the corner of my eyes . I had been so mean to him and all he was doing was just trying to keep me safe and happy .
“ Hey , why the tears , Angel . I told you I would do this . I just thought it would be a nice surprise . I’m sorry ! Did you not like it ?! ” He cupped my face and stared down at me with tender eyes .
“ I love it . It’s beautiful . I’m the one that should be sorry about all this . You’ve been nothing but nice and I’m mad at you about something that wasn’t even in your control , I’m so sorry ” tears started to spill out and Blake wiped them away with his thumb .
“ No Angel no . It’s okay . You were right , I should have told you regardless of the chances of it happening . You deserve to know everything and before you make any more decisions on our life together , you need to know . ” He let me go and pulled me onto the couch . He sat on the table in front of me , holding my hands in his . There was an uneasiness in my belly .
“ I know mums kind of explained who a Luna is . Just like the Alpha , the Luna helps look after the pack . Her job is to look after the mental and physical health and well – being of the pack . Making sure she listens to all the problems and comes up with solutions for them . She’s the Alpha’s support and keeps him sane ”
“ Yes I understand all that , but you’re not an Alpha yet . Then why was I referred to as Luna ? ” I was so confused .
“ Because I am an Alpha , Angel . Dad and you were having a conversation that I interrupted a few days ago . The conversation about Pops stepping down as the King of the East . Do you remember ? ”
I nodded and swallowed loudly . Where was he going with this ?
“ The conversation about how the King of the East controls all the packs in the eastern territory ? ”
“ I’m the King of the East , Angel , ” his words slowly registered into my head .
“ That makes you the Luna of the East ”
I stared at Blake with a blank expression . I didn’t know what to say . A half – blooded non – experienced girl had become a Luna . I know very little about his world and here I was , getting told I was the Luna of the East territory .
“ Bu ….. I don’t …. ” I couldn’t form sentences .
“ Angel , I wasn’t going to tell you any of this until after I knew you were ready . I knew you’d freak out and that’s why I was keeping that information to myself . But like you said , you deserve to know so that you can process this information at your pace and be ready for it . There is no pressure for you to take on this role anytime soon . Mum will help you prepare and honestly , you can take as long as you need . I’m just happy that you are by my side . You don’t have to panic . ”
His words calmed me down a little . He was an almighty alpha with a plain Jane like me for a mate . How’d that even happen ?!
