84 Beautiful Tattoo

As I walked next to Eros through the long winding halls of the packhouse, members of the pack were pointedly staring at us.

They were following our every move.

Although the adamant staring didn't last very long, I could tell that they were all trying to sneak looks at me, analyzing me with curiosity and something else that I couldn't name.

It was almost like they were searching for something only to note that they couldn't find it, because I could see the excitement die out as quickly as it had begun on their faces.

Odd.

My scent is probably all smothered by Eros' scent because of our recent activities.

For all I know, they probably all saw me as a walking ball of semen!

That sounds kind of gross but it might be true in their eyes.

"I'll be back in a little bit, Emira," Eros murmurs, his breath fluttering past my warm cheeks when he leans down and chastely presses his lips against my temple, sending tingles across the surface of my face.

His warmth lingered against the surface of my skin until I was thoroughly distracted by his entire presence.

Although we have officially mated now, the sparks have not dimmed or faded like I had thought.

In fact, it has become almost 2 times stronger to the point that I find it hard to keep myself from magically attaching myself to him like a bee to honey.

It is beyond difficult to stop myself from touching him in one way or another.

Through my lashes, I could see Eros smirk down at the dazed expression on my face before he walked off with Beta Toren towards what I assumed would be his office.

Since Eros has been away from the pack for a while, I am sure that there's a lot of things he has to do because he is the Alpha and all.

And I bet he probably has a gigantic stack of paperwork on his desk waiting for him to fill out and complete.

I should feel bad for him but I don't right now.

How can I when my back feels like it might snap in half and my legs feel like jello with every single step I take?

Nope.

Not feeling any bit sorry for the work he will have to do.

But I do hope that it will wear him out enough so that he won't have the energy to continue tonight because last night has worn me out.

I know it's petty of me but I can't help it.

Of all the things to have restorative healing in it just had to be my womb.

I sighed.

"Emi!" A familiar voice chirped from behind me and nearly startled the insides out of me when I noted that it was the bubbly and energetic Rora.

"Rora! Don't sneak up on me like that!" I yelped, hand pressed to my heart to calm the rapidly beating organ from the sudden jolt.

"I didn't sneak up on you. I've been standing here for over 5 minutes already," she said with a wide smile, waving me to walk with her.

"I didn't notice." I absently scratched my neck.

Nowadays, it's extremely hard for me to remove my gaze away from Eros to even notice where I was.

The whole entire world seems to dull until I'm completely captivated by him to the point that he could lead me to hell and I probably wouldn't even care.

That's bad, isn't it?

"Alpha Eros seems to keep you distracted," Rora said, pretty eyes openly staring at the mark on my neck with a look on approval on her face. "It happens to a lot of newly mated pairs."

My hand unconsciously moved to the mark, fingertips brushing against the sensitive skin.

I inspected the mark already this morning at the hotel and noted that it looked like a rather impressive tattoo of some sort.

Some type of ancient writing was centered on the mark with swirls and tribal designs circling around it.

I was kind of scared that it was going to look freaky but it didn't in the least.

It looked like a beautiful tattoo that I don't really mind on my skin.
