Our Luna, Our Mate Chapter 55 Athena's

POV

We don't have much of a choice in the matter" is all I he from Eros, knowing fully well that both of my mates hated Jacob, just as much as Artemis did, except for different reasons, ours being that he rejected us for my cousin Diana. This is going to be bad' I murmur to Artemis, knowing that nothing good ever happens between Alpha's. At least with those we hated. Like Jacob. Agreed. Maybe we should have gone on alone' whispers Artemis, weighing our options that laid

before us.

"Are you nuts? They would be even angrier if we tried to approach Jacob all on our own' I say, scolding her for even suggesting that. "They'd still be angry regardless' remarks Artemis, not seeing the logic behind my words.

Groaning, I moved to ignore her for the time being, my attention now on my mates as we moved in the direction of Jacob, who by the way was currently outside waiting for us. The Servants not trusting him enough to let him into the packhouse 'Do you blame them?' scoffs Artemis as if making a point.

'Do you mind. If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say it at all' I say, finally having just about enough of her at the moment.

Taking in her pause, I move to speak again, 'Look, I know you hate him. I hate him too for obvious reasons, but for now can we at least see what he has to say before we attack him? He's still Alpha of the Moon Walker Pack' I add quickly, before she could think of a comeback.

Sighing, she refuses to speak, only hanging close to me in case I needed her. 'Sorry' she mutters eventually. Smiling, I know she meant it before returning my attention back to the task at hand. Jacob. Biting my lip, I couldn't help but admit I was nervous when it came to seeing Jacob again. Please, let this visit go smoothly, I plead to the Moon Goddess, just as Jacob slowly comes into view, having walked on ahead of my mates, as they walked ever so slowly behind me with their father and Alpha.

"Jacob, Hell-" I start only to be cut off as Jacob grabs me by the throat, officially cutting off words, as my hands claw at his hands as I try to pry them away from me, struggling to breath as 1

had been the first to approach him, my mates still hot with me yet.

"This. Is. ALL. Your. FAULT" yells Jacob in anger not caring if I couldn't breath at the moment. "I-Jacob... Please..." 1 struggle, desperately trying to get him to let go of me.. *cries

Growling, he only holds tighter. 'Artemis' I cry in hopes she'd be able to help me. Artemis, trying to help me but unable to for some apparent reason. Coughing, I begin to feel my vision clouding only to be yanked away suddenly as Jacob is now laying sprawled out on the ground. Eros and Ares now in wolf form and growling rather angrily. "ATHENA" cries Alarick, just as he moves to cradle me against his chest, his eyes trained on his sons and the Alpha who just tried to strangle me.

"I-I'm okay" I cough, my hands moving towards my neck. Knowing there would be a bruise there as Jacob had squeezed me pretty tight. Successfully cutting off my airway. "Ares... Eros" calls Alarick to his sons, only for

for them to growl in reply. Two big black wolves with one sporting a patch of white on his snout, now standing between us and Jacob, protectively guarding us from any more danger. "STOP! BOTH OF YOU" I cry, only for them to pause, their eyes moving to glance back towards me. Turning back towards Jacob, Ares moves to shift back, Eros still in wolf form as he moves to sit down in front of me, almost like a shield. in human form does Ares move to speak, not caring who saw him naked as

Once

he now stood his ground with Jacob. Having torn his clothes when Zeus jumped forward, having sensed I was in danger and needed to act fast.

If you

EVER touch my mate like that again, we will personally kill you without haste" growls Ares, Zeus standing behind his eyes as they glared at him.

"Try it, I dare you! My father will destroy your pack if you even try to kill me" growls Jacob as he moves into a sitting position, his face still angry as he looks directly at me, his wolf now present. behind his own eyes.

"After all, she's the whole reason why I'm here! If it weren't for her, the Rogue King would have never shown his face to us. I knew we should have given you away when we had the chance" replies Jacob, revealing vital information. "WHAT?" asks Ares in surprise.

"You mean you don't know?" taunts Jacob, his eyes still on me as I now clung to Alarick. "Whyte Chapter 55

your little mate was supposed to go to the Rogue King years ago, but my dear ol father refused him, the fool. He could have prevented all of this unwanted chaos if he had just given her to him. when he asked. Even her family didn't truly want her." Listening I not it, had then. There's no would have abandoned me. Would they? lying" growls Ares, not wanting to believe Jacob, but then remembered how Maya spoke about her family and what the Rogue King had recently revealed to them that day in the forest. Smirking, Jacob moves to continue, taunting my mates a little more only for Alarick to finally speak up. "ENOUGH! All of you. Ares, Eros, go get some clothes on, NOW! Jacob, follow me. My office, NOW" and with that said, Alarick moves to lead me back towards his office, his arms still holding me protectively as he did. Glancing towards Jacob, Eros moves to give another growl before stepping aside to let him pass, moving to follow the Alpha, all while keeping a safe distance should he need to protect himself or fight.

You heard father, we better go get some clothes on replies Eros to his brother as they move to

head inside, making quick work in returning to their rooms for new clothes. -Alarick's Office-

Upon returning back to Alarick's office, do I instantly move to sit far enough away from Jacob, not wanting a repeat from earlier as Artemis growls slowly. Ready to claw off his face should she have

too.

"Sit" orders Alarick, his eyes trained on Jacob who moves to do as told, a smirk gracing his lips as he did. Once seated does Alarick move to speak again. "You do realize that you just attacked a future Luna of this pack. Right? For that my sons have the right to kill you on sight. But as your an Alpha to another pack, I shall send word back to your father and let him handle you."

"Please, he won't do shit. He loves me way too much to punish me properly. No matter what happens or how angry he might get" laughs Jacob, not scared of his own father at the moment.

"Oh he will, Once we tell him that you just tried to hurt not only our mate but future heir to Mystic Shadow pack" adds Ares, once he and Eros enter, Kai, Seth and Sam all present as they move to protect their Luna from any further harm.

Pausing in

in all his big talk, does Jacob begin to pale. His eyes now moving to look at Athena. Chapter 55 "Y-You... Pregnant?"

"Y-Your...

T answer, watching as his face turns paler even more. Alarick now in a state of shock and surprise as well. "Im-Impossible" whispers Jacob, too stunned now to say anything else.

On its

it's quite possible, Jacob. Athena is with mine and Áres's child. For that, we most certainly can give you death. Not only for attacking our mate but our child as well" growls Eros, not happy with Jacob nor was Ares, their eyes trained on the said Alpha, their wolves in full blown protective mode now. Looking to the Alpha twins and then back towards me, Jacob moves to beg, not wanting to be punished by death as he graveled now realizing the extent of the danger he put himself in when he choked me.

Jacob, 1-1 try,

"Please... Please.. I'm so so sorry... I was angry... I didn't truly mean any harm" pleads Jacob, knowing that if he didn't apologize-now he would be in major trouble later, trying to replace the right words to say to him.

"PLEASE! Diana is with child! Would you kill me and leave your cousin mateless, only to raise the child all alone?" begs Jacob, hoping I would forgive him. "Please... I'll take whatever punishment from my father, just please, spare me.

At hearing Jacob confess about Diana being pregnant, I suddenly feel like I'm drowning. The thought of them always being at it with one another only to get pregnant the next sends daggers through my heart. Pain pushing me over the edge as I cry. "LEAVE!" I I yell, shocking everyone from within the room. "LEAVE! I no longer want to see any of you from the Moon Walker Pack, ever. So you

best pray that your father spares you, otherwise you won't like what happens when the Lycan King comes knocking."

Nodding, Jacob quickly moves to dash from the room, not needing to be told twice as I slowly sink to the ground in tears. "ATHENA" cries Ares and Eros, both of them moving to hug me as I cry. Crying as my heart shatters from all the years of believing that everyone at the Moon Walker pack truly cared for me. "We're truly alone' I whisper to Artemis, crying into our mates arms, the room now silent except by my tears as they fell. Sobs racking my body as I cry.
