Our Luna, Our Mate

126

Chapter Alex's POV

It's late into the evening when everyone has managed to calm down after the phone call with Tobias. Emotions running high after listening to him talk the way he did about Athena. Almost like she was a possession, a pawn and not someone who was human. 'They all need to die' growls Elstan, my Lycan Wolf.

'I know. And they will in due time. Because no one and I mean no one talks poorly about my family and lives to tell about it. Especially after telling someone that she's a curse. Because my niece is no curse but a blessing and I won't have Tobias or any of the other Councilors bad talk to her in any way' I move to say back to Elstan.

My rage growing with each passing second because not many people knew about my family's history or of the hardships we each had to face to get to where we were. No. Because between Rick and I not being able to find our mates to our brother, Ryder dying at the hands of Ezra and his band of Rogues, not many people knew that Luna Selene had struggled many times in trying to conceive Athena.

And while Athena is a blessing sent by the Moon Goddess herself, Selene and Ryder had almost given up hope. A hope that I prayed to the Goddess on many occasions that she would bless my brother and his mate with that of a child and not let some curse that was placed upon Selene stop them from trying to conceive.

These were the sacrifices that I had to make in order for my family to thrive and these are the sacrifices that I'll continue to make if it means that Athena and her family will continue to live and thrive as a whole.

No more, I think, only to pause. Having been walking around the pack grounds for most of the evening in hopes of trying to clear my mind, glad that Ares and Eros had managed to convince Athena into staying the night at the Capital so she would not have to return home to a bunch of angry wolves.

Sniffing the air around me, I slowly began to pick up the faint scent of wildflowers and clove as well as a faint hint of honey, a few of my favorite scents as I continued to just sniff the air around me.

"The scent is close' whispers Elstan, his tail beginning to wag as the scent drew closer to us.

'Easy boy, don't get too crazy' I tell him, knowing that this scent was affecting him just as much as it was affecting me, A scent that was instantly calming to one's senses while giving me the urge to protect it
