Our Luna, Our Mate

Chapter 67

Athena POV

While sitting in my room, I continue to watch in complete and total silence. Maya working her magic like always as she steadily does my hair. Pinning my hair in an elegant updo with tiny little star pins to help hold it all in place, my gown all but on me.

"You look so beautiful Athena" whispers Maya, as she moves to help me step into my dress. Once inside the dress, Maya moves to zip me up, careful not to smug any of my makeup as Maya had gone with an emerald eyeshadow, adding tiny elements to my final look to help incorporate the twins.

"There... all done, are you ready? Luna?" smiles Maya, now standing in front of me. Nodding, too scared to trust in my own voice, I move to take one final look in the mirror.

My dress is the same royal blue like the one I had tried on the day before as we went over last minute alterations as my eyes slowly moved to the necklace that sat around my neck. Tiny sapphires and emeralds lay nice and neatly along my skin while sitting nice and neatly where tiny teardrop earrings. My makeup is light and airy with the exception of the eyes, Maya adding layers of green and blue to make them pop, my lips a nice shade of red.

'Beautiful' whispers Artemis.

'You really think so?' I ask her back.

'I know so. The twins will love it' purrs Artemis.

Smiling at her words, I move to slip on my silver strappy heels before slowly making my way outside to where our guests were currently waiting along with my sexy twins. -Outside-

When approaching the outside of the packhouse, the first thing my eyes see is the big huge stage. The one that Ares, Eros, along with myself and my chosen would be standing on as we each proclaimed our vows to become the next Alpha, Luna, Beta, Gamma and Delta of the Mystic Shadow Pack. Thousands of people including our pack all here to see us become the new leaders.

'I'm so nervous Artemis... what if I make a complete fool of myself' I say to her, my hands gently shaking as I now stand just outside the packhouse entrance.
