Tattooed Luna by Mrs Smith

Chapter 0130
I felt Alex place his hand on my lower back as he sat forward. There was an instant calming to his touch but my anxiety was still flying high. “Mom, we discussed this.”
“You discussed what?” I pulled back from Alec and looked between them.
“You will continue tattooing and will not be giving that up.” His voice was firm. They want me to stop tattooing?

“You misunderstand, Alec. No, we do not wish for her to stop tattooing.” Looking directly at me, “yes, had a discussion about the shop taking too much time away from your duties here. However, Marc and i have spoken and we are wanting to discuss something with you two.” She paused as she shifted in her

seat.
“Like what?” Alec’s voice was restraint anger.
“With everything that is going on, Marc is not quite ready to step down as Alpha. I know we had discussed him stepping down when you found your mate or waiting till you are older. You have shown us that you are ready without a doubt but since your mate seems to have a target on her back, maybe it’s best we wait till things settle down. We also think that this would be a great time for you to take a vacation together. School ends in two weeks. Why not go to the beach after graduation? Take that trip to Italy. After you take over the Alpha and Luna roll, there won’t be time for you guys to do any traveling. As far as the tattoo shop, we did hope that you would be interested in expanding it, hiring more artist but you will not recieve any pushback from us as long as the luna duties are still getting done.

“It was never set in stone he would recieve the alpha title once he found his mate. Even if this wasn’t going on, Marc would still want me to train you for some months to a few years until he stepped down.”
“So, then why even tell him he would get the title if you weren’t prepared for that?” I was getting angry.
“Kristen, you are the daughter of an alpha. I’m sure you can understand things change everyday? I believe
it was your father’s intention to wait till Colt was 25 before he stepped down. After a few public displays by Luna An n, do you honestly think he won’t be pushing Colt harder so he is ready sooner?”
I was already sitting up straight but this stiffened my back even more. I didn’t appreciate her speaking
about this. It might be true but that would mean dad could loss his mate if he breaks his mate bond. Now,
