It doesn't take us long to eventually approach the ballroom as music slowly rised to greet us. The moment we arrive my eyes began searching for them. My handsome mates. Swallowing my fears. we move to enter my heart racing at the speed of light. "Relax" whispers Emma, who must have known I was nervous. "Sorry" I mutter as I glance at her. "It's okay to be nervous, just try to relax, your hearts racing" Emma admits softly as she gently. takes my hand in hers. "I'll try, thanks" I say as I move to do just that until suddenly I feel it. The tug of the mate bond allowed my eyes to move in the direction it was coming from only to see my mates talking to that of another female, her back to me and preventing me from seeing her face.

Blinking, he takes a second to realize my words before smiling once again. "Don't worry love, just follow my lead" and then as if my lack of dancing skills didn't matter he slowly began to lead me in a dance, unaware of hateful eyes watching my every move as we did. "Just who does that little whore think she is" mutters Diana angrily as she continues to stand off to the side, keeping her presence hidden. "First Jacob, now the Alpha twins? Why does the Moon Goddess favor her above everything". "Relax, after tonight those two won't ever want her for a Luna" replies Brian as he stands next to his sister, his eyes watching Athena dance as well.
