Our Luna, Our Mate Chapter 16 Ares POV

It was about 10 minutes to 7 and Zeus and I were currently on edge as we silently waited for Eros and the others to appear. 'What's taking so long?' I grumble to Zeus as my eyes move to look at my watch, a silver rolex sitting all nice and neat against my wrist while my silk navy blue top, black dress pants and black shoes completed the look, my hair brushed and combined with only a little bit of gel to help hold it back. Relax, they all know dinner is at 7pm' answers Zeus who was also trying to relax because after tonight we would be able to find our mate once and for all. 'Well they're cutting it close' I say, just as they all decide to show up.

"Finally" I say, looking at the others as I carefully notice Seth who was dressed in a red silk shirt, black pants and black shoes while Emma wore a silk red dress and silver strappy heels, her hair up as light makeup adorned her face. "Sorry, but somebody had wardrobe malfunction" remarks Sam as my eyes move to see him. dressed in a rich silk green shirt, black pants and black shoes while Emily wore a similar style to Emma except in green as well, both in which I found both cute yet amusing as my attention moves to that of Kai and Lucas.

"Sure blame the wardrobe" growls Kai, who had decided that instead of wearing silk had opted to wear a teal satin shirt with black pants and black shoes while Lucas opted to wear a light blue satin shirt with matching black pants and black shoes just as they all moved to head for the door. "Wait, where's Eros?" I question when I have yet to see my brother appear.

"Still inside his room I think" answers Emma who wasn't exactly sure.

"Why?" I ask.

"Beats us, look how about you go ask and we'll go find a table for all of us, okay?" remarks Seth who moves to lead the group out of the room, leaving just me inside the room. Sighing I move towards his door. "Eros?" I call hoping he would hear me from his room.

"Give me a second" is all I hear as it would seem that Eros had been struggling with himself.

Everything okay? The others have already gone on without us, so we need to hurry if we want to be there on time" I tell him, just as I stood outside his bedroom door.

"I said, give me a minute" shouts Eros just as he yanks open the door his shirt a little ruffled as if he had been struggling with it only to finally get it set in place. "Are you sure?" I ask, trying hard to be nice as my eyes move to do a once over knowing he must be feeling scared as well.

"Yeah I'm sure" mutters Eros as he straightens his shirt once more, his silver satin shirt paired with black slacks and black shoes, his own watch sitting nicely against his wrist as he now stood of me.
