Chapter 29
Athena's POV
When Ares and Eros had told me that Maya would be coming along with us, I couldn't control my excitement. I knew almost instantly that I needed to tell her as if doubting she would have been told by the Alpha or anyone else at that moment.
"Whoa, easy tiger' laughs Artemis who was watching me from inside my mind.
'Sorry, I'm just happy. It means we won't be lonely I tell her, still excited by the news as It continue on my way.
"But we'll never be lonely, we have our mates' remarks Artemis making me blush as I suddenly remember what we did in the shower. Granted we didn't do much aside from touch and kiss, a part of me had still wanted more. Maybe once back at their pack I can try to get them to do more, come my surprised thoughts as I finally spot Maya, "MAYA" I shouted, startling her as I did.
"Huh? Athena? Is everything okay?" asks Maya, who slowly moves her attention to me.
"Yes, everything is fine. I just wanted to find you. I have something important to tell you" I grin, her expression of confusion amusing. "Oh? And what's that?" questions Maya.
"I just found out, but Alpha Paul is letting you leave with me. We'll never be separated" I tell her, my excitement showing at how happy I was to have a friend at a new pack. "F-For real?" asks Maya, shock clearly evident on her face. "Yes for real," I say to her happily. "I can't wait to start this journey with you".
"Me too," smiles Maya.
"Well then, let's go.. We gotta get you packed" I tell her as I usher her back towards her room so she could pack her belongings. "W-What about you? Shouldn't you pack?" asks Maya. "No, I don't have much and what things I do have I'll grab before we leave" I fell her, leaving no room to
argue.
-2 Hours Later-
It's been about 2 hours, literally, and Maya and I are still packing her things when Ares comes looking for me. "Everything okay love?" asks Ares as he moves to stand near her door, drawing my attention towards him. "Yes, sorry, just finishing up" I tell him with a smile, no need to tell him
that I was also telling Maya about them in the process.
"Okay, because Eros and the others are just about ready, we're getting the cars all packed so when you're ready we can leave. Then once we're home, I'll have you both renounce your pack in order to join ours" replies Ares, making me flinch and look away. "You okay love?" questions Ares, noticing the way I acted.
"Ya, it's just... I've never been officially accepted as a member of this pack. I don't even have a pack link" I tell him, embarrassed that my family couldn't even do that much.
"What? How?" asks Ares baffled. "How could they do that? How is that even possible without you. turning Rogue? Without a pack or a link you're basically an outcast".
"Simple, when you're the pack slave, who needs a link" mutters Maya, unaware she had said that loudly enough for Ares to hear as he blinks, rage boiling over at the thought of his mate being the pack slave.
"THAT'S IT! We're leaving. Maya grab what you need, NOW. The rest we can have sent to the pack" yells Ares as he moves to take my hand before leading us down towards the waiting cars and to where the others now stood waiting.
"WAIT!" I exclaim once outside. "I need to run home and grab something, Please" I tell him, needing to go home and grab the only thing that mattered most, my mother's necklace, a necklace. I kept hidden from prying eyes.
"Fine, but be quick love, the sooner we leave here the sooner you'll be safe from those who wish to harm you" grumbles Ares as he looks to me before letting go. "I will, I promise" and with those
what I needed.
I quickly run back to my Uncle's house and towards my room to o
"Hey where's Athena going?" asks Emily, who had noticed her run off while Ares and Maya move to stand near the cars. "She went home to grab something" replies Ares as he moves to look at Maya. "Maya, you'll be riding with Seth, Sam, Emma and Emily" comes Ares' reply as he moves to point at the second vehicle.
Nodding, Maya moves towards the second vehicle just as I slowly return, slightly out of breath as I did. "Back" I say as I move to stand next to Ares. "Perfect, Athena, Love, you'll be riding with Eros, Kai, Lucas and Myself" replies Ares with a smile as he moves to take my hand before leading me to the other vehicle.
Once standing near the other vehicle, Ares gently moves aside to help me in. No regrets here, come my thoughts as I move to climb in, Ares following suit behind me as Eros climbs in on the other side, Kai and Lucas in the front seats. Chapter 29
'Good, we don't need their pity' growls Artemis, glad to be leaving our hell hole of a pack.
'As much as I want to disagree, I know they never cared about us. They were all too eager to get rid of me' I tell her knowing my so-called family would never say goodbye to me. 'Then don't. Our mates are with us now. We no longer need this pack, whispers Artemis just as the car begins to move, my mates giving me that sense of comfort.
"Sleep love, it'll be about another 2 hours before we return home" whispers Eros, his hand resting on my lap as he did.
"Okay" I say as I move to cuddle up next to Ares, my body relaxing as I did. Must be because of the mate bond, I think as my eyes move too close, heavy with sleep.
-Mystic Shadow Pack-
The drive to and from the Moon Walker Pack and to the Mystic Shadow Pack was indeed 2 hours. 2 hours of uninterrupted sleep as Athena continued to sleep even as the vehicles in question were pulling up to the front of the pack house. "Athena, darling, we're home" whispers Ares as he gently shakes me awake. "Mmm" I moan, slightly stirring from my nap.
"Sleep well?" chuckles Eros, as he slowly takes in my sleep deprived appearance. "I-I did" I yawn, trying to remember the last time I slept so peacefully when in reality I just didn't want to wake up as I was having the most wonderful dream.
"That's good to hear love, but we need you awake as I'm sure mother and father will love to meet you" replies Ares, alerting me to my surroundings. Once awake, am I able to truly see how beautiful their pack was compared to that of the Moon Walkers. Complete night and day between the two packs.
While continuing to look at all my surroundings I can't help but notice the beautiful four story house, causing my breath to hitch upon seeing it. Whoa, I think while my eyes take in all its beauty. This place is huge.
At seeing my expressions, Eros can't help but chuckle, causing me to blush as he did. "Sorry, but the look on your face was priceless" admits Eros with a smile. "I'm glad you find my expression endearing" I mutter, just as we finally reached the front of the pack house. Once parked, do we all move to exit the vehicles only to hear a high pitch squeal which causes me to wince just as a voice speaks. "ARES! EROS! Your back" is all I head just as a girl flings herself at my mates. Chapter 29
'MINE' growls Artemis, who really didn't like this girl and the way she was touching our mates. "Um, excuse me but who are you?" I ask, trying to maintain my cool, my anger rising at the sight
of her.
At the sound of my question does the girl slowly pull away, giving my men room to breathe as they glare at her. "I'm Lily and you are?" asks Lily in a bored tone. 'Brat' I mutter to Artemis as I look at the girl who calls herself Lily. "I'm Athena, I'm Ares and Eros's mate" I say with a smirk as her expression turns from shock to anger to disgust.
"Prove it" growls Lily, not wanting to believe it. "I shouldn't have too, their mine" growls Artemis. who had managed to push her way forward, her eyes reflecting in mine. "Now get your paws them before I make you."
off
But, as if ignoring my warning, Lily decides to go back to clinging on to my mates, even as Seth and Sam arrive with Emma, Emily and Maya. Angered, I move to react, grabbing Lily by the hair as I yank her away from them.
"I SAID move away" growls Artemis again, protective of what was ours. "LET GO OF ME YOU BITCH" yells Lily as she tries to free herself from my grip. "Watch your language, she's your Luna" growls Seth, angered as well. "Like HELL she is" yells Lily as she finally shoves me off her.
"Aww, what's the matter, too scared to accept me as your Luna?" taunts Artemis, not really caring about her or her willingness to accept, so long as our mates did. "Bitch please, I'm not scared of you" growls Lily angered. "Then prove it, fight me growls Artemis in a challenge,wondering if she would accept it or not.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Ah no" smirks Lily, as she slowly walks away ignoring my challenge. Glaring, it was all I could do as I slowly watched her leave waiting for her to be gone from site before sighing, Artemis retreating as she did. Growling again, I try to go after her only to be stopped by Ares. "Easy love, she's not worth it. Come let us get you and Maya settled and then we can introduce you to our parents."
"Fine" I whisper, relaxing at his touch as I agree to let them get us settled in. "That's our girl" chuckles Eros, his voice making my insides melt as they move to lead us inside. Our Luna, Our Mate
