Our Luna, Our Mate Chapter Eros POV

It's hard to think exactly where the time had gone, as we all sat talking amongst ourselves. Each of us sharing things with Athena while she herself shared whatever information she felt comfortable with sharing at that moment when suddenly I moved to glance at the time. Oh my word, is it really 6pm? We've spent the entire day just talking and now it's time for the ball, I muse as I carefully move to stand, catching the attention of my mate as I did. "Is everything. okay?" asks Athena from her spot on Ares's lap. "Yes love, all is fine but it's 6pm and the ball is in less than 2hrs" I say as I move to gaze at her, her beautiful face lighting up as realization hits. "Oh no, I'm so late" exclaims Athena as she moves to jump from my brother's lap which earns her mild stares and a few chuckles from Ares as she did.

She

"Late?"

Late? asks Lucas, confused. "How so?"

"Because I'm meeting Maya. I need to go before she gets mad at me for making her wait" replies Athena.

"Mad? She doesn't seem like the type to get mad" laughs Sam, who was trying to picture a mad Maya in that exact moment.

"Oh she does, trust me. I've seen it. Once, when someone messed up her kitchen. But the point is, Maya promised to help me get ready, so the least I can do is be on time" remarks Athena as she moves to make a bee line for the door only for me to grab her by the wrist which causes her to stop and look at me with her beautiful blue eyes.

"Promise me that you'll share a dance with us?" I ask, hopeful, wanting a chance to hold her at least once throughout the night.

"I-I promise" mumbles Athena, her cheeks red at the thought of dancing with us. Cute, I think as I move to kiss her gently, soft tingles hitting my lips as I did. "Mmm, until later our sweet mate" 1 purr as I finally let her go, Emma and Emily moving to leave with her as well, each of of them carrying their outfit for tonight's event. Once gone from the room, I move to look at Ares and the guys. "Protect our Luna, no matter what. I don't dare trust her family, nor do I trust that Gamma and Delta. They've hurt her long enough. and it's time to end this, once and for all" I snarl to Kai, Seth and Sam. Ares nodding in agreement.

'I was born ready' I tell him, doing another once over, wanting to look respectable for tonight's ball. As I had decided to settle on a deep blue navy silk shirt with black dress pants and black dress shoes, my hair was slightly styled but not overly styled.
