Our Luna, Our Mate Chapter 28 Ares POV

It hadn't taken long before Eros and I slowly approached the Alpha's Office, as he was just finishing up with Jacob, his son when suddenly out stormed Jacob in all his fury surprising us as he marched away, a glare evident on his face. him

oe got in trouble' chuckles Zeus, amused that Jacob got scolded like a child.

right, ,Athena is OUR mate now. Not his. He lost that privilege when he rejected her. Now the Moon Goddess has blessed her to us' I tell him, not feeling one bit sorry for the Future Alpha. in approval from Zeus, we move to knock on the Alpha's door. "Enter" is the gruff voice of Alpha Paul, Jacob's father.

Taking that as our cue we slowly enter the room. "Ah Alpha Ares, Alpha Eros, to what do I owe this lovely visit? As I'm quite sure you may have heard how I handled my son just now, so hopefully he doesn't decide to keep causing trouble for you" replies Alpha Paul, his eyes looking to the twins who stood before him.

"Well actually, we wanted to talk to you about Maya" replies Eros, wanting to get straight to the point and not draw it out anymore than needed.

"Maya? What about her? She is only an Omega" remarks Alpha Paul, confused.

"We wanted to ask if it was okay for her to return back home with us, to the Mystic Shadow Pack. We know she is just an Omega but she would be a friendly face to have around for Athena" I say to him.

Pausing, Eros and I study his features as he thinks about his next set of words before speaking. "I don't see why not, after all Athena is your mate. If it's Maya you seek, then Maya you shall have although it'll be hard to see her leave Maya deserves to be happy as well and who knows maybe her mate will be at your pack" admits Alpha Paul.

"So.. You agree?" asks Eros in surprise as the Alpha nods his head. "I do," smiles Alpha Paul.

"Thank you Alpha. I promise we'll take good care of Maya" I exclaim, happy we could take her back with us when we left for home.

"For Athena, anything. If only I could have done more for her" whispers Alpha Paul, a sad expression now on his face which confuses us. Chapter 28

I wonder what he meant by that, I wonder as Eros and I continue to stand before the Alpha. But just as I was about to ask, did Kai call out to us through the pack link, urgently telling us to return to the room as something had happened to our mate. With a glance towards Eros, who only nods, we quickly say our goodbyes before turning and rushing back to our room.

"ATHENA" we exclaim, just as Éros and I come running into the room only to receive a hushed whisper. "Shhh, she's sleeping" whispers Emma, who was currently sitting next to our mate, Athena curled up on the couch asleep.

"What happened?" asks Eros, as we slowly move to approach them, our eyes still on our mate.

"That Delta and Gamma. Caught them both in here trying to force themselves onto our Luna" growls Kai, angry by that fact.

"WHAT?" growls Eros angrily, all the while trying to control his temper.

"Afraid so" whispers Lucas sadly. "Had we come any later than we did, who knows what they would have done to her. Thankfully all they did was kiss and fondle her from what we could see".

At the mention of kissing and fondling, I growl as does Zeus. "MINE". "Whoa, easy there, she's safe now Alpha" replies Sam, all the while trying to ease the situation.

Growling again, I move to pick her up gently, a soft whimper rising as Eros and I move to head for my room. "Pack up... By morning we leave. We're not staying another minute" and then with that said, we move to enter the room, Eros shutting the door before they could reply. -Next Day-

It's about 6 o'clock in the morning when I finally begin to stir, Eros still asleep next to our mates right as I slept on her left leaving her directly in the middle of us. 'Mate' purrs Zeus happily, for after last night we had decided that she would stay with us as Eros and I gently moved to take off her dress and shoes before carefully placing her in one of my t-shirts as she was only in her panties from the previous night.

"Gods... Our mate is beautiful' I groan to Zeus as I seriously try my hardest not to mark and mate with her as Eros and I were more than ready for her but as we had attempted to touch her, we would notice that she would either flinch or whimper which caused us to frown.

'Mates been threw alot' whispers Zeus, aware of how poorly she had been treated while growing

up.

"Well never again, Athena will never go through that again' I tell him with determination only to feel movement from next to me. Blinking, I move to look over to my side only to see Athena Chapter 28

gazing softly at me.

"Good Morning" I whispered to her, not wanting to wake Eros who was still asleep.

"Good Morning" whispers Athena. "Did you change me?" she asks, gesturing to the oversize t-shirt

that covered her.

"We did, I hope that was okay" I ask her, catching her blush.

"Y-Yes...

that was okay" she mumbles. Cute, comes the only word that pops to mind.

Chuckling, I move to kiss her only to startle her before slowly she moves to return the kiss. Mmm, such soft gentle lips, I muse only to hear her moan, the bond kicking in which urges me to continue as my hand moves to slip up under her shirt. At the touch of skin, I curiously continue only to feel her tense which has me move to retreat my hand, pulling it away from her slowly and her to whimper.

"Sorry" whispers Athena. "I-I just..." come her jumbled words as she blushes. "It's okay love, we can continue when you're ready" I assure her as I move to exit the bed, needing a shower before

we leave. But with her fighting for words do I slowly see her cave as if she knew she did something wrong which makes me frown. "It's okay love, you did nothing wrong" I tell her.

"I-I know, but still" mutters Athena sadly. Frowning I move to lift her into my arms before taking her towards the bathroom to shower a tiny squeak rising to greet me as I did. "Come, shower with me" is all I tell her as she nods, unable to fight the blush that was rising. Smirking at the blush I move to enter the bathroom, knowing Eros would soon join us as I move to sit her on her feet before moving to turn on the shower, adjusting the water's temperature as I did. Once at the perfect temp do I move to remove my clothes only to halt long enough to look at our mate.

"Come, don't be shy, love" I murmur to her as she blushes once more, moving to remove the shirt and her panties before slowly making her way towards me as we both move to enter the shower, her blush never leaving her face. "Cute" I murmur as I move to wrap my arms around her waist, her blush deepening as the sound of the bathroom door opening and closing could be heard, signaling that Eros had entered as he began to remove his own clothes. "Am not" murmurs Athena as she moves to duck her face against my chest unaware that Eros had finally joined us until his hands moved to caress her back causing her to jump. "Easy love, it's only me" replies Eros, as he moves to kiss her shoulder, easing her tension.

Nodding, she lets the mate bond take over as her body begins to relax allowing me to smile as we move to wash, sneaking soft touches as we did as she wasn't ready for more. Soon, are my only thoughts as we move to finish, the need to leave here that much more promante. Once done, we move to exit the shower, Athena much more relaxed as we did. "That felt wonderful" purrs Athena as she moves to dry off.

"Indeed, but your company greatly helped" replies Eros with a smirk, his eyes holding that playfulness to it making her blush once more. "Stop it" I tell him. "Stop teasing her, we have other

things to do.

"I know, I know" remarks Eros, as we move to dress, Athena unsure of what to wear. "Umm.. What

shall I wear?" asks Athena hesitantly.

Shall

"You can wear these love, Maya brought them over last night" admits Eros as before they had gone to bed, they had asked Kai to ask Maya for clothes for Athena. Blinking, it takes her a second to register Eros words until slowly she spots the clothes. Smiling, she moves to put t them on. Thank you" replies Athena with a smile.

"Anytime love" I tell her with a smile of my own. "Oh and one more thing, love."

"Huh? What is it?" asks Athena, a bit

worried.

"We spoke with Alpha Paul and he's agreed to let Maya come home with us, She'll be able to come back our pack" I tell her, her expression of one of delight.

"Really?" asks Athena, excitement beginning to show.

"Yes" replies "T-This is t

Eros, once we all finished getting dressed. "She'll be able to do everything like normal, except under a new roof and new pack" I say, her excitement overflowing which makes Zeus and I purr happily.

is the most wonderful news ever! I need to replace her and tell her" exclaims-Athena, once dressed before dashing off to replace Maya, Eros and I forgotten, at least for the moment as we move to help Kai and the others pack for our long trip home.

I would still make sure someone goes with her since she's obviously not safe at the pack house either
