Tattooed Luna novel (Kristen and Alec) novel Chapter 467

“Nothing in particular. Cassie keeps going back to when her and Zach were younger. I can’t tell if she is just reminiscing or if she is actually reliving it. She will say things that are not exactly appropriate. I’m starting to wonder if she has some permanent brain trauma from all she had been through.”

“Well, is she happy?”

Penny looked at me confused. “What do you mean?”

“Is she happy?”

Penny picked up her glass of water and took a drink. “I suppose so, why?”

“As long as she isn’t hurting anyone, I’d say let her be. She has spend the last 18 years in a literal prison. I would be surprised if she didn’t have something wrong with her. What is it going to hurt to just go along with it?”

Penny didn’t answer right away. “I guess I didn’t have any expectations. It’s not like I need a mother.”

“Just accept and love her for who she is. Giving her this little bit of happiness would be nice. It might bring you some peace. Any kind of relationship with her is something to be thankful for.” I wanted her to have her mother in her life in some form. It wasn’t going to be a mother figure but I didn’t want her to push her off either.

“And Zach?” Penny challenged me. She had a little smirk on her mouth like she knew my answer.

“When he isn’t pissing me off, he is okay.” Taking a sip, I tried to act like he doesn’t bother me. “To be far, he hasn’t actually just been part of this pack.”

The staff started gathering up the plates and clearing the tables as people got up and started talking with each other. “I’m going to call it a night.” Penny said as I helped her stand up.

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah, I hit my max for the day. I just want to lay down.”

“I’ll take her.” Jacob came up behind me.

“Alright. I won’t be too far behind you.” Giving her a kiss on her cheek, Jacob took her hand and led her out of the ballroom. Alec stood up beside me as I watched her until she was out of the room.

“How are you feeling?” He asked, finally.

“Like I got gashed in an explosion.”

“Well…” Alec grabbed his drink and too a sip. “You earned a permanent alliance with Alpha Carson. Which is huge.”

“It really is. I was worried about it after we took it from him.”

No one really came up to us as we watched people slowly start to filter out. We would be seeing them tomorrow so it wasn’t like I expected them to stay and talk.

“Alec, I’m ready to go home.” Ice came up to us.

“Wow, who knew you would become a party pooper.” Looking at her, I just smirked as she stuck her tongue out at me.
