Luna's pov







-

The morning sun was eager to fall upon Aelia's face. I admired her features, her swollen pink lips were parted, her chest rising and falling comfortably. She looked so at peace, I didn't want to wake her but someone needs to give me some attention around her

My head rested on my palm that was propped on the bed, the messy sheets were covering both our naked bodies. The kiss of the sun stirred her awake. Aelia's eyes opened, a smile appeared on her face when they locked with mine

"Good Morning" I smiled

"Good morning" she whispered, she pulled her body closer to mine, her head laid on my chest. My hand wrapped around her body

Aelia's fingers trailed down my stomach until it landed on my mark, her fingers drew circles around it

"When did you get your snake tattoo?" she questioned

"It's not a tattoo" I answered

"Really? Then what is it?" she asked confused

"I was born with it"
At birth, the Amon generation receives the mark of the snake

Ever since Eve’s transgression in the Garden of Eden, snakes in Christian tradition have been associated with lies, evil and temptation. But in other cultures, as far-flung as ancient Greece and Egypt and indigenous North America, snakes symbolize fertility, rebirth, renewal and even immortality. 

As snakes grow, many of them shed their skin at various times, revealing a shiny new skin underneath. For an Amon, our mark have become symbols of rebirth, transformation, immortality and healing

"So.... It's a birth mark?" Aelia questioned

"I was marked at birth, yes" I said honestly, Aelia chuckled

"So your birth mark is a full body snake. Wow" she said stunned

"That's so weird but so incredible" she said

"You're weird and incredible" I smirked, she rolled her eyes playfully

"I'm starving" she said pulling herself up, the covers slid off her body and I was captured by her soft skin. A blush rose to her cheek when my eyes refused to stray away from her

"Stop looking at me you perv!" she giggled and threw on some clothes

"And can't help but stare, you're beautiful" I smiled, she rolled her eyes

"You're cheesy" I raised a brow at her words

"Alright, from now on, I won't be" I smiled proudly, Aelia opened her mouth to speak but was disrupted by the sound of a door slamming shut

"Aeliaaaa, are you awake?" her mother yelled.

"Fuck" she panicked. I raised my brow confused

"Hide!" she chuckled

"Are you ashamed of me" I dramatically clutched my heart

"Shut and hide before you never get to see me again" she laughed, I rolled my eyes and pulled the cover off of me. My completely nude body came to view, Aelia's eyes trailed over my body

"Look who's the perv now" I whispered in her ear, her body tensed up and she swallowed a lump in her throat. I chuckled lightly and walked over to her closet

"Aelia? Are you dressed?"

"Yes" she panicked and immediately face palmed

"WHY WOULD YOU TELL HER THAT" I hissed at her
