Our Luna, Our Mate by Linda Middleman

Athena's POV "Diana?"

Raising an eyebrow I can't help but eye the girl before me. Light blonde hair and emerald color eyes are both beautiful yet deadly as her petite frame of 5 '8 stands before me while dressed in a light blue sundress that flared out slightly at the waist and a pair of beige sandals.

"Heard mommy told you that you had to help me and Brian with the Mating Ball" sneers Diana as she stands before me arms crossed as if she had been listening to mine and Aunt Leah's conversation.

"As if I have a choice" I mutter to her, my eyes moving to gaze at the floor. "Although.. I don't see why you even need to attend the ball when your fucking with my ex-mate."

Bracing myself for impact, I knew what would happen as I spoke those words and I was right as soon as those words left my mouth, she had shoved me up against my bedroom door, the handle now digging into my lower back as she did.

"Listen here you WHORE! Jacob is far too good for you. The Moon Goddess made a terrible mistake when pairing the both of you together and for once I am grateful that he rejected you. I on the other hand will make a wonderful Luna while my Brother becomes his Beta and right hand of the pack" hisses Diana as her grip on me tightens.

"....F-Fuck you" I growl out as I try to free myself from her, her grip strong for that of a Beta's daughter.

"That can be arranged" smirks Diana as she moves to lean closer to my ear. "After all, it's all Jacob loves to do when he's with me".

At hearing those words I can't help but be reminded of that fateful day. A day I would never forget as it had also been the day my life became a living nightmare. I had just turned 18 when I was standing just outside the pack High School when I caught the most wonderful scent. The scent was that of pine and smoke, an earthy smell that made me curious as to who it belonged to as I had never smelled anything like that before and so used my nose to help lead me to it as Artemis paced around in the back of my mind. 'Everything okay?' I ask her.

'I feel something... Today is going to be special' remarks Artemis as she keeps pacing.

'Special huh?' I answer back as I keep searching for the smell only for it to lead me ever so slowly towards the front of a small clearing, a clearing off near the side of the school and to the person it belonged to.

"No..." I whisper as I stand mere feet from none other than Jacob. Jacob Blackwood, Future Alpha of the Moon Walkers and the school's biggest playboy known to man as he always slept around with different women and today was no exception, except, he was now with Diana.

Athena like most girls stood about 5'6 in height and was currently standing not to far from us, her long brown hair and beautiful blue eyes adding to her exotic features as well
