Our Luna, Our Mate

Chapter 20

Eros POV

Maya, I wondered, Just who are you and how do you know our mate? I ponder as I sit on one of the couches within the guest room, having decided to return to the room as well as the others when Collin decided he no longer wanted to be useful to us. "Any ideas who this Maya lady is?" asks Emily to no one in particular as she sits next to Sam and

her mate.

"Judging by the way she was dressed, she's clearly an Omega, and one that works here in the pack. house" replies Seth who was clearly observant of the way Maya had been dressed.

"But why would an Omega know what goes on with only one person? And why wouldn't Betal Collin just tell us instead? It was like he was trying to hide something" comments Sam from his spot next to Emily as if trying to figure it out. "Because maybe there's more to this than we know" I say, once I've snapped out of my previous thoughts. "After all, Beta Collin did seem a little uneasy when talking about the girl almost as though he didn't dare care about her.

"Not only that, but his son and his two buddies almost wreaked of sex" growls Ares from his spot next to me. "It took everything I had just to keep Zeus from shifting and trying to attack them for even touching our mate."

At the mention of sex or anything related to the source does Emma and Emily gasp, shocked by the fact that someone would even do that to another, especially if they weren't mates to start. "That's... That's horrible" cries Emma. "Why would anyone do that? Clearly she isn't their mate so why force sex upon them?"

"It's just how things work" admits Seth to his mate, not liking it either or of the fact that there Luna was in pain and they couldn't help her until they knew all the facts. "My theory is that she probably didn't want their advancements and so decided to use force instead." "That's terrible, I hope the Moon Goddess never blesses them with a mate, EVER" growls Lucas, sad that his Luna had to go through that as well. "Me too love" admits Kai as he moves to wrap an arm around him just as there's a knock at the door causing everyone to turn their attention towards it.

"Enter" calls Ares and I, hoping it was Maya and nobody else, the woman from earlier still fresh in their minds as she slowly opened the door allowing them all to see it was indeed her just as she had promised. 25%

"Maya, Welcome" calls Emily, giving her a warm smile as she moves to greet her hoping to earn her trust among a bunch of strangers.

"Thank you" replies Maya as she moves to enter the room, waiting to be addressed by me or my brother as we were both Alpha and she was only an Omega.
