Our Luna, Our Mate

Chapter 86

Athena's POV

The moment that Ares and Eros had agreed to spare the Rogues, I instantly felt myself relax, not wanting to see any more unnecessary bloodshed as those who fought in battle lost their lives that same day.

'You know he wouldn't have done that' whispers Artemis, having been protecting the babies when Ezra had managed to get into the secured bunker, something I had yet to figure out as I had been sitting with the children from the Orphanage, singing when suddenly we all heard a bang as the bunker door had opened causing many to jump and some to even scurry further in.

"Hiding are we?" chuckles Ezra as he had all but barraged his way into the bunker, causing me to rise as I moved to protect the children who were now cowering in fear behind me except for Adrian, as Adrian was standing protectively out in front of me as he moves glare at the Rogue King.

"Leave us alone you big bully" growls Adrian, his little warrior side now showing.

Amused, Ezra can only chuckle as he moves to watch him, "My, My, such a strong little boy, careful or otherwise your parents won't have a child anymore" chuckles Ezra as he moves closer, now standing a few feet away from us.

Growling, Adrian continues to stay strong, having wanted to protect the Luna, having liked her since the start. Still amused, Ezra can only laugh until his eyes begin to focus back on me, "Come along my dear sweet darling Athena, if you come willingly I won't be forced to kill those within the bunker and I'm sure you'd hate to see me spill blood especially one of a young pup such as the one who stands before you" smirks Ezra, causing my heart strings to pull, knowing I was literally stuck between a rock and a hard place. Biting my lip, I try to think of something, anything to help stall for time only to know that I couldn't the rational side of me winning as I knew I had no choice but to surrender.

"If I go with you, do you promise to spare all those inside" I ask, wanting to make sure.

"Yes, you have my word as a King that I will spare those here if you willingly come back with me" replies Ezra.

Glancing at Adrian once more, I finally make up my mind as I move to approach him slowly only to have Adrian grab me by the hand, "Please don't go" whimpers Adrian, my eyes now looking at his face to see his now frightened ones.

Moving to kneel down in front of him I move to cup his face gently, "It's going to be okay my sweet little Adrian, I promise, everything will be alright and when this is all over I'll have a nice big surprise waiting for you" I tell him, his eyes lighting up at the surprise. ""Promise?" asks Adrian.

"I Promise, now go to Luna Gwen and be brave for me okay?" I say hoping he would listen to me as I move to stand yet again, his small head nodding as he moves to stand next to Luna Gwen, her eyes now on me as she tries to stay strong.
