The Darker Side of Me

Chapter 28: An Interesting Dinner

I slowly opened my eyes about an hour and a half later and saw that Sarah was admiring her playboy bunny in the mirror and Logan was standing over where I was laying down. He smiled down at me and kissed my cheek.

"Hey lovely," he said quietly.

"Hi," I said back sitting up. My back stung a bit, but I was able to come to a sitting position with a bit of help from Logan and Mel. "How did your tattoo go?"

"Great, and if I may say yours looks amazing."

"Really, can I see it?"

"Of course," Mel said. "But I should tell you that I had to add a little something. I was going to tell you earlier but you fell asleep and I didn't want to wake you. Anyways, as part of the pack, you have to have some sort of connection to your alpha, in this case your mate, so I just put the pack symbol in the background of the tattoo you wanted. I hope you don't hate me for it."

I smiled. "Mel, I could never hate you. I'm sure I'll love it."

"You will, trust me," Logan said grinning ear to ear. He gently pulled me to my feet.

"Right now this feels like a bad idea," I winced. Everyone in the room burst out into fits of laughter. "What?"

"Would you believe me if I told you those are the exact words Sarah used when she first stood up?" Hunter said from across the room.

"Great minds think alike," Sarah and I said simultaneously.

"Ok this is getting scary," Jaxon joked.

We all laughed some more and Logan had managed to maneuver me to a mirror. He raised his eyebrows asking if I was ready to see it. I nodded and he slowly turned me around. I kept my was facing the mirror and looked down to the exposed skin between my shorts and my shirt. I saw the same tatto I'd seen in the glass case, but behind the moon was a faint brown design that matched that of the one on Logan's arm. I gasped and just stood there admiring it. It looked absolutely amazing. I never thought I would get a tattoo in my life, but I can tell its a decision I'm never going to regret. I felt Logan's hands resting on my hips and slowly turned my head to face him. I gave him my warmest smile and a quick kiss on the lips before turning back to look at my new tattoo again.

"It's... It's just... Oh my god," I said, unable to find the words to describe how I felt. "I love it."

"I knew you would," Logan boasted.

"I never thought... Wow! It's gorgeous."

"You won't be able to do much for about a week," Mel explained to both me and Sarah as she had joined me. "But after that, you'll be back to normal. So boys, that means no you know what." A chorus of 'ew' and 'gross' erupted throughout the room and Mel just laughed. "Anyways, lots of ice and cold cloths for the swelling. You guys take it easy ok?"

"I'll be back Mel!" Jaxon called as he left.

"Wait, don't we have to pay for all of this?" Sarah asked.

"Mel doesn't charge us because we're there so much. And she especially wouldn't charge us because of our new titles," Hunter explained.

"So you're using your height on them to your advantage?" I inquired.

"Not at all. As a minor in the pack with no ties to the top and no title they're not allowed to charge us. Now if we were just other wolves the most she would do is give a discount."

"Oh."

We climbed in Jaxon's car with me in the passenger seat, and the other three in the back. We headed off and kept a steady conversation about god knows what. It literally changed every third sentence. At one point, the boys were talking about some football game on TV and Sarah and I were gossiping about something that was posted on Twitter. Jaxon rested his hand on my thigh and I didn't notice until he started to move it higher up my leg. I swatted his hand away and warned him that my legs were for Logan's hands only. This gained a wolf whiste from him and a couple quiet cheers from Logan.
