Our Luna, Our Mate Chapter

Athena's POV

After parting ways with Maya, I slowly make my way towards the dining hall and to where my family would be waiting for me as I had been told by uncle that I was needed to attend, for what I had no clue just that I had to be there or else. 'Any idea as to why we're needed' I moved to ask Artemis once more, hoping she would have an

answer.

Unfortunately I do not answers Artemis as I continue on my way, unaware of all the attention I was receiving.

"My, My, look at what the cat dragged in or should I say wolf" purrs a voice, causing me to halt as I turn to see Brian who slowly saunters up to me. "What do you want Brian?" I ask, trying not to cause a scene between us..

"Why?" I all but growled knowing I was playing with fire as Brian grips tighter but not tight enough to leave a bruise if one was to look,

"Easy there, wouldn't want me to do something drastic would you?" glares Brian, who had no problem showing me his ability which sends shivers down my spine as I move to reign in my temper. "N-No... I'm sorry" I whisper as I move to advert my gaze. "Good" smirks Brian as he moves to lean forward, making sure to take in a big whiff of my scent, his smirk growing as he moves to whisper something within my ear. "You smell delicious Athena, I think tonight you and I should have some fun, don't you? Maybe David and Shane can join us"

At the mention of David and Shane, I can't help but shiver as they were both next in line to be Gamma and Delta just as Brian was next in line to be Beta which made those three a powerhouse. "Please..." I whimpered, not wanting to be touched by them as Brian continued to hold my face. "Please what" growls Brian, his grip now holding tighter as his eyes narrow slightly.

"Please.. I'm a good girl" I tell him, hoping he would spare me tonight like he had done the day before when I spent almost the entire day decorating the ballroom..

"Mmm, except good girls are for those who listen, and you my dear are not, you're being very

I ask, keeping my head turned towards my family as I dare not look for those delicious smells, afraid that they would reject me before giving me a chance like Jacob. 'Yes, mates.. The Moon Goddess has given us two answers Artemis, wanting nothing more than her mates. Oh my' is all I can say as I move to think of what it would be like to have two mates instead of just
