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. "Who's that?" I whisper suddenly, curious. "Hm? Oh that's Alpha Haye, she's the heir to the Dark Moon Pack" answers Emily who seemed to know who she was, her eyes looking for her mate. "Alpha huh?"

"He's not wrong love" whispers Ares, his hand moving towards the small of my back. "Come let us dance" and then, before I can reply, I feel Ares swiftly lead me out towards the dance floor for a dance, making me panic in protest. 'I whispered to him, once we were on the dance floor. "I can't dance".

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.
