Our Luna, Our Mate by Linda Middleman

Chapter 9 Ares POV

*k, I groan as I slowly reflect on everything that had happened yesterday as yesterday turned out to be a total shit show, especially after talking with Kai along with Seth and Sam as Eros and I had decided to go talk with mom and dad once more on the subject of the mating ball but after the whole ordeal with Lily we chose not to leave our rooms for the rest of the day only opting to have lunch and dinner brought to our rooms instead. "You know we can't just hide here all day you know" remarks Eros who had been sitting in a chair across from me.

"I know, but what else can we do with Lily, with her always around it makes talking to mom and dad a little more challenging" I say knowing exactly how Lily was as she would find every possible second to worm her way into our presence. "We need to put the bitch into her place, she's not our Luna and never will be" grumbles Eros who didn't like the fact that we were hiding like s pups instead of acting like the Alpha's we were meant to be..

"And how do you suppose we do that?" I counter before taking a sip of my whiskey, the amber liquid running smoothly down my throat as I did. Glancing a

at a clock on the wall I can't help but notice it read a little past 12 o'clock which meant mom and dad would most likely be in a meeting until 1 pm giving us time to sit and think about the subject at hand.

"I don't know, but we gotta do it soon before our true Luna comes, otherwise there could be problems with her and the pack" sighs Eros as he too moved to take a sip of his own whiskey.

"Do what soon?" asks a voice causing me and Eros to turn only to see Kai and Lucas as they slowly enter my room before taking seats on the adjacent couch from us.

"Lily" we both replied.

At the sound of her name, Kai groaned. "For real? Doesn't the b**h know that she's not wanted here?"

"Ya and now she thinks she can come in here and take away our Luna's place" growls Eros as he takes another sip of his drink.

"What the hell? She can't be serious is she? After all there's no way she'd be considered Luna

material here" replies Kai who was now sitting a little more straighter on the couch.

"Um, who's Lily?" asks Lucas with a confused look on his face making us realize that he wasn't here to meet Lily back then.

"Love, Lily is the pack whor*hout regards to who it hurts in the process" explains Kai hoping it would clarify the type of person Lily was to the pack.

"What? Ew gross, please tell me she didn't sleep with the both of you?" asks a shocked Lucas as he looks between both me and Eros, neither of us denying his question as it was totally true. "Wait, She did?" exclaims Lucas who was now gazing at the both of us. "Why?".

"We were desperate back then, and now we obviously regret doing it and wished we had waited for our mate, but again desperate and she offered herself to us" admits Eros, guilt flooding his
