Misty Moon: Book 1 (3 page)

“
Can I have a tongue ring?”
I asked looking at him.

He looked at me like I was insane. “You
obviously have never been cut with silver. Do you have any idea how
much that will hurt?”

I shook my head. “I’ll find out won’t
I? I want that one,” I said pointing one out that had a blue gem,
the color of my eyes, on the end.

He shook his head and opened the case.
He put gloves on so he could touch the silver. “You are insane, no
wonder you are collared.”

I smiled. “If this works can I have a
nose stud, and a belly button ring?”

He looked at in complete disbelief. “I
will give you all of them, if you can handle this in your mouth,”
he said amused.

“
Yay,” I said
happily.

He smiled and I followed him to his
private booth. I sat in the chair and he sat in front of me.
“Ready?” he asked. He sounded like he really didn’t want to do it.
I nodded and he shook his head and started.

He punched the stud through my tongue
and it stung for a minute then the stinging was gone. He looked at
me like he was ready to pull it out as soon as I started screaming
in pain. When I didn’t scream he put the other end on it to secure
it then released me.

“
No blood curdling scream?”
he asked both shocked and amused.

“
It really doesn’t hurt. It
tingles a little,” I said amused.

“
Most wolves can’t touch it
or wear a damn ring and you have it through your tongue,” he said
amused.

“
Can I get the other two?” I
asked excitedly.

He looked at me hesitantly. “Are you
sure?”

I nodded. “Please, please,” I begged
touching his arm.

He raised his hands in surrender. “I’ll
be back,” he said and walked out to get the jewelry. I looked at
the tongue ring in the mirror. I liked it. He came back in and did
the other two piercings. They didn’t hurt that bad either. It was
more of an annoying tingle.

“
Don’t show anyone these and
if they ask about the stud in your nose tell them it is a sticker
like all the other girls wear. Oh and don’t kiss anyone, you will
fuck him up unless he is immune,” he warned.

I nodded. “I want a tattoo, can you
give me a tattoo?” I asked hoping he could.

He watched me for a minute then nodded.
“I’ll look into it, Becky is ready to go so I’ll see you next
time,” he said amused.

I nodded. “Thank you,” I said happily
and hugged him.

“
You’re welcome, you are
definitely the strangest girl I have met,” he said
amused.

I walked back out and Becky was
waiting. “What were you doing?” she asked impatiently.

“
Nothing,” I said amused and
walked out the door and toward her car.

She watched me suspiciously as she
followed me. “Dominic wants you to help Pam at the diner. She is
short staffed,” Becky said obviously enjoying my
punishment.

I rolled my eyes. “Fine,” I muttered
and she drove me to the diner.

I walked into the diner and it was a
mad house. Dominic was standing near the front counter with two
women. One was older than him and the other was around his age
maybe a little younger. I would have to be careful when I talked so
he couldn’t see my tongue piercing.

He smiled at me. “Hi Kylie,” he said
playfully.

“
I am here, what do you
want?” I asked sounding as annoyed as possible.

He smiled. “This is Pam, she owns the
diner and she needs extra help, and I told her I had just the girl
for her.”

“
You really are so nice,” I
said as condescendingly as I could muster.

“
I am Audrey,” the younger
woman said offering her hand.

“
Apparently I have work to
do,” I growled and disregarded her hand; then walked off. I didn’t
like her already and I didn’t even know her. The fact that she
might be with Dominic kind of annoyed me. He kind of annoyed me
too.

“
Well you seem like such a
nice girl, why don’t you start by cleaning some tables,” Pam said
nervously. I knew she was lying and trying to be nice.

“
Whatever,” I muttered and
accepted the tray, rag, and cleaner from her.

I walked to the first empty table and
started to clean it. I glanced up at the counter. Audrey was
talking to Dominic and she kept touching his arm. He didn’t seem to
be touching her, and I wondered if that meant they weren’t
together.

“
They aren’t a couple if
that is what you are trying to figure out,” a girl around my age
said as she took a seat at the table I was cleaning. She had mouse
brown hair and gray eyes. She was pretty, but I could tell she
wasn’t one of the alpha wolves.

“
So they just run the pack
together?” I asked confused.

She nodded. “My name is Marie,” she
said offering her hand.

“
Kylie,” I said accepting
it.

“
I know you are new here and
I thought maybe you could use a friend,” she said and
smiled.

 “
Sure why not, I have
to go clean tables; but maybe I’ll see you around,” I said amused.
She smiled and nodded and I moved on to my next table.

I swear it never slowed down. I was
cleaning tables until the sun was starting to come up. I was ready
to go home when Pam finally closed the diner. “Do you need a ride?”
she asked smiling.

I shook my head. “I can
walk.”

She nodded and hurried over to her car.
I could see the light over the horizon, but it was still dark. I
felt pretty good considering I had worked all night and I had a ton
of silver in me. I decided to cut through the woods. I ran dodging
trees and rocks. I actually felt like my old self. The necklace
didn’t have as much of an affect. I was beginning to think I was
beating the silver and that thought excited me. I made it to my
house in record time. I walked into the house and bounded up the
stairs to my room. I was tired, but I was looking forward to the
next day.

I woke up before my dad came to bug me.
It was a little after six at night. I showered and dressed in jeans
and a tank top. I pinned my hair up and did my makeup. I looked at
my tongue ring in the mirror. Everything looked normal.

There was a knock on my door and I
answered it. It was my father. “Danny is here to see you,” he said
gruffly like he didn’t approve.

I smiled. The first thought that came
to mind was maybe he found a way to give me a tattoo. I hurried
past my dad and down the stairs. Danny smiled at me and I hugged
him. I liked Danny, he was nice to me and he was a cool guy. “Hey
babe,” he said amused as he hugged me back. “I have a surprise for
you.”

My father cleared his throat as he came
down the stairs. He had his eyes on Danny and Danny shifted
nervously. “Are you two going out?” my father asked
quietly.

“
We are, I’ll be back
later,” I said quickly as I grabbed Danny’s hand and pulled him out
the door.

“
What’s the surprise?” I
asked excitedly as Danny held the car door for me.

“
I am going to give you a
tattoo. I found a way to do it by putting a small amount of silver
in the ink. It may hurt though, but I figured you were willing to
take a risk,” he said grinning.

I nodded. “You know I am,” I said
amused.

Danny spent hours giving me a tattoo.
He was right it did suck, but it was an awesome tattoo. He did a
vine with beautiful blue and silver flowers. In the center of the
flowers he put diamond studs. The vine went from my hips all the
way up my sides over my belly and under my breasts. I was healing
as fast as he was making the tattoo, but the tattoo stayed thanks
to the silver. He talked and joked about all the people in the
pack. All the information he could give would be
helpful.

I stood in front of the mirror with my
arm covering my breasts as I looked the tattoo over. It was
awesome. Danny sat back and watched me. “This is awesome, thank
you,” I said excitedly.

He laughed. “Here’s the best part,” he
said amused. He walked over to me and touched my side where the
tattoo was; then cussed and showed me the burn on his
hand.

I looked at him startled. “You can’t
touch me?”

He smiled. “Not unless I am immune to
silver.”

“
That is awesome!” I said
excitedly as I grabbed my shirt and went behind the curtain. I
pulled it on then stepped out and smiled at him. “I love it, thank
you.”

He smiled. “Let me give you a ride
home.”

I shook my head. “I can run,” I said
amused.

He nodded. “Come by if you want another
one. I had fun giving it to you,” he said and winked.

I laughed as I backed away. “I had fun
too,” I said then bolted out the door. It was later than normal and
I knew if I didn’t get home soon my dad would be angry. I went to
cross the road to go into the woods when a big black truck blocked
me.

The driver’s window rolled down and
Dominic smiled at me. “Your dad is worried,” he said
amused.

“
He knew I was with Danny. I
was heading home now,” I said annoyed.

His expression darkened. “Danny? That
surprises me.”

I looked at him confused. “Why? Danny
is cool.”

“
Danny is weak,” he
countered sounding ruffled.

I rolled my eyes. “I don’t care about
rank.”

“
You will eventually. Get
in; I’ll give you a ride,” he said smiling.

I was thinking about protesting, but I
knew it would annoy him and he wouldn’t let it go. I sighed and
walked over to the passenger side and climbed in.

He set off toward my house and looked
over at me. “Is that stud new?” he asked indicating my
nose.

“
It’s a sticker,” I
lied.

He looked at me like he didn’t believe
me. His phone rang distracting him. He answered and talked to the
person briefly then hung up. “You are staying with me tonight,” he
said amused.

I looked at him confused.
“Why?”

He smiled. “Your father has company. He
wants the house to himself.”

I rolled my eyes. “That is ridiculous,”
I muttered.

“
Ah what’s wrong? You don’t
want to come to my house?” he asked amused.

“
Not really,” I
muttered.

He laughed. “You don’t have a choice,”
he said as he turned down a side street.

He pulled into the driveway of a simple
log cabin. I was kind of surprised. I thought he would have some
great house. I climbed out of the truck and followed him
inside.

I looked around as he stretched out on
the couch and flipped the TV on. “This is not what I
expected.”

He glanced up at me. “Why
not?”

I shrugged as I took a seat next to
him. “It seems to plain for a pack leader.”

He watched me for a minute. “When did
you beat the necklace?”

I looked at him innocently. “I don’t
know what you are talking about.”

He moved quickly so he was posed over
me. I caught my breath because he was so close to me. I looked up
into his dark green eyes and I felt my heart speed up. “When did
you realize you beat the necklace?” he asked again. There was a
hint of a threat behind his tone, but it just made him sexier not
scarier.

I smiled playfully. “Yesterday,
why?”

“
Why haven’t you run?” he
asked as he brushed his lips against mine.

My heart was pounding and I felt my
mouth go dry. I had never been this close to a guy and I had no
clue what to do. “Nowhere to run,” I said breathlessly.

He smiled and pressed his mouth to
mine. His tongue touched mine and he froze then broke the kiss. He
pushed my mouth open and looked at the tongue ring. He looked at me
and I couldn’t read his expression. “I see why you have been with
Danny,” he said softly.

I smiled. “Do you like it?” I didn’t
know why I cared, but I did. I liked him and when he was so close
it was impossible for me to think straight.

He ran his fingers down my cheek. I
noticed his silver ring for the first time. It was a really nice
twisted band. “You have no idea,” he whispered playfully then
kissed me again. His tongue tangled with mine and I enjoyed the
taste of his mouth. “Do you have any more surprises?” he asked
amused as he broke the kiss again.

I smiled. “The nose stud is
real.”

“
I like it,” he said
playfully then kissed my mouth again. His kisses were hungry and
desperate. He had me pinned underneath him and I loved
it.

The doorbell rang and Dominic growled
in annoyance and stood. He looked down at me. His eyes were a
beautiful greenish gold. He was turned on and I knew it. He cussed
and walked to the door. I sat up trying to adjust myself so I
didn’t look like I was making out with him.

He opened the door and Audrey was
standing there. “Hey Nick…” she started then hesitated when she saw
me sitting on the couch. “Is this a bad time,” she asked sounding a
little disgruntled.
