Alexia Eden(52)

They look so young, Alex was 15 when I was born, so that makes her about only 32 years old and she mentioned that Johnny was two years older than her so he’s most probably about 34 years old plus minus. I suppose they’re still young. Alex is stunning, I can’t get over how beautiful she is and Johnny is quite handsome too, they were definitely made for each other.

“I cannot get over how alike you two are…” Johnny says looking from me and down to Alex as she rests against his chest.

Alex smiles at me as Tyler says, “Yeah she is a little version of you Luna Alex.”

“She even does that thing with her lips that you do when you’re thinking.” Johnny says talking to Alex.

“What thing?” I ask them.

“Apparently I chew the inside of my lip when I’m thinking hard about something, I don’t even realize I do it but Johnny always points it out to me.” she says pointing to the corner of her lip where she chews.

I laugh at that because my mom told me I do that a lot too with the exact same spot.

The twins and I decide to jump in for a swim when other members of the pack join us down by the dock. I take my shirt and shorts off when Alex notices my tattoos down my one side covering my ribs, the one of the roses and vines.

“Oh my! This is stunning honey!” she says as she comes closer to look at my tattoo.

“Yeah it’s a tribute to my dad.” I tell her the story about how dad would buy mom roses every week and what he would say, I notice Johnny go quiet every time I talk about my father but he is still listening attentively to every word I’m saying.

“See here, I had their names added into it …” I point to their names.

I see a hint of sorrow come over their faces when I show them my parents’ names etched to my skin, I think they felt left out. Seeing that in their faces made my heart hurt, they did so much for me already and I feel as if I truly am a part of their family.

We swim in the lake most of the day; the twins made sure none that the other guys ever came near me but I could still feel the wondering eyes on me the entire time causing uneasiness within me.

Around lunch time Johnny decided to start with the training, we first went for a run around the woods and he was quite impressed I could keep up with him. Later we went to his gym and he worked through what I’ve been already taught then he showed me some new moves. I caught up quickly and I had a good time getting to know him, we are quite similar and have a lot in common.

When afternoon came the twins asked me to go with them to fetch pizza for everyone since we were going to have a pizza night at the bonfire instead of the usual barbeque.

Every Saturday night they have a bonfire and catch up with the rest of the members of the pack that don’t live in the pack house or the houses in the vicinity. This town is larger than Point Bright and it also has its own school, a small hospital and even a college.

We park in one of the parking’s in the main street. I look at the different shops as we walk along the side walk, I immediately spot a tattoo parlor. I tell the boys I’m going to go look at the pharmacy because I need to get some “girl stuff” and they give me a look of disgust as they tell me they’ll be at the pizza place.

I wait for them to walk off and I run into the tattoo parlor knowing exactly what I want done.

I walk into the shop and look at the different art work that blanket the walls, it’s pretty amazing …of course most of the art is mostly of wolves, nature and moons but I still love it.

“Hi can I help you?” a man asks and as I turn around, he asks me again, “Are you related to Alex by any chance?” he looks at me as if he recognizes me.

“Is it that obvious?” I laugh.

“Yeah, damn you two look alike!” he looks at me with astonishment.

“She’s actually my aunt and Jonny’s my uncle.” I smile at him.

“You’re Alpha Johnny’s niece?” he asks in surprise.

“Yip! I’m guessing you’re also a…you know…” I whisper.

“Yeah I am.” he asks then he smells the air and states with wide eyes, “…but you’re not? You’re a human? How?” he asks confused.

“You will have to ask Johnny about that.” I tell him.

“Of course, of course, what can I do for you young lady?” he asks me and I explain everything to him exactly how I want it and that I don’t have much time.

I walk out of the tattoo parlor with a sense of achievement, loving the adrenaline that’s passing through my body and the feel of the raw skin after the tattoo has been imprinted on you. I can’t wait to show them.

The boys were still getting pizza; they had to collect quite a lot of pizza for everyone so I knew it would take a while before they were done.
