Chapter 81 Athena's POV

If my mates thought they were being sneaky then they had another thing coming for I might be a Lunar Princess but I wasn't stupid, for if there was one thing I was ever taught while growing up it was to always be aware of what was going on around me.

So when I noticed both my Uncles come for one of their weekly visits I knew it was because we were slowly merging the packs into one, for there had been lots of new faces slowly making their way into the pack and while I haven't been formally introduced them, I still made it a habit to go and introduce myself to them and to make sure they had what they needed to begin their journey of living with us and the Mystic Shadow Pack.

'I know not all humans are evil, as Brycen's mate is a testament that not all humans are mean, just those who decide to become a hunter

and hunt us down for their own enjoyment' I murmur having to remind myself that not all humans were truly evil because when Cara
