Chapter 44 Ares POV

As we slowly approached the pack and the meeting spot, my eyes began to roam over all in attendance. Scanning over pack members my eyes slowly move to land on my father's who silently nods as Eros and I along with our mate approach. Clearing my voice the pack turns to acknowledge us. Including Lily. "Good Evening everyone. I'm sure you're all wondering why I've summoned you this evening. Well for that I have someone of importance here with us tonight" I start, my eyes glancing to my mate as she moves to stand next to Eros, her eyes locking with mine in question. Giving her a soft smile I move to look back at my pack. As everyone within the pack whispers, I let out a soft growl to pull everyone's focus back to me. "You see, it's been brought to my attention that many, many of you seem to think that it's okay to say or think poorly of our mate and Luna" I announce, many of the pack Shocked that someone would do that.

Listening to them whisper, my eyes move to focus on Lily and her small group of friends. Her face is neutral as if not caring as she looks briefly at Athena. Something within her eyes shifted right before vanishing from sight.

pal. It's like she's totally a different persona compared to the girl we once knew" I admit to him, not liking Lily's new behavior towards her new Luna. We best be careful with her. Who knows what she'll do next' replies Zeus, his attention now focused on those around us.

"Agreed' and with that I too return my attention back to the pack. "While some of you might think that our mate is a coward, I can assure you that she is not. Our mate, your Luna is alot stronger than you might think and while her past might be troubling she'll do nothing but great things for us and our pack" I finish, my eyes still on Lily.

Frowning, Lily continues to keep her focus on Athena, my eyes still lingering on her before turning my focus to that of my mate. Offering her my hand in which she takes, I gently pull her to my side, Eros moving to join us.

"And while some of you might disagree on the matter, should you have a problent with her or us,
