Our Luna, Our Mate Chapter 120

Athena's POV

"The Capital you say? That sounds exciting" smiles Gwen, happy that her daughter was getting a chance to spread her wings and have a girls' day with those who made her happy.

"I sure hope so. I've never been. My uncle would never let me go anywhere outside the pack before" I admit for a second time that day.

"How come?" questions Gwen.

"Don't know, maybe too scared that I'd run away or that I'd tell someone of what they would do to me. Either way my family never allowed me much freedom when it came to matters like that" I admit. "That's horrible" whispers Gwen, unable to believe her ears and what she was hearing as she did.

"Have you decided on who you're taking with you to the Capital?" asks Gwen instead.
