Our Luna, Our Mate

Chapter

88

Athena's POV

Wedding Day

Today was the day, Today I would officially be married to both Ares and Eros and become Mrs. Moonheart, a feeling that was both awe and unreal for this was something I had long since dreamed about.

"Relax sweet child, everything is going to go well, trust me whispers Artemis as she tries to console me, my insides a bundle of nerves as I attempt to stay calm but fail.

"Easier said than done' I move to say back, knowing that my little bundle of nerves was caused by the events leading up till later.

Just then there's a knock on my door as it slowly draws my attention, causing me to turn as I move to see who is now standing by my door. "Enter" I call, my eyes still watching as my door slowly opens to reveal Maya along with Luna Gwen, Emma and Emily, a smile still gracing my features as I slowly move to hug them, each of them smiling as we we move to get comfortable around the room.

"So are you ready? In less than 24 hours your going to become Mrs. Moonheart" smiles Emma, excited for them to finally be married.

Pushing aside my nerves do I move to speak, "If I'm being honest, no I'm not ready, I'm nervous as shit and I'm afraid I'm going to mess up the whole damn thing" I admit my eyes now shifting towards me lap just as a hand comes to rest on mine causing me to look only to see that of Luna Gwen.

*Don't be scared Athena darling, today is about you and the life you move into, the rest is just icing on a cake for you are Luna and above all a mate and a mother, and if I'm being honest, you've done a lot more already then I could ever dream of doing" admits Gwen with a smile her hand still resting on top of mine.

"Thank you" I whisper, unsure of what else to say.

*She's right, over the past 2 months I've all but seen you flourish, you've gone from being a shy little girl to one who is brave and loving and very nurturing. Hell, your even a better mother than most, opening your heart and your home to Adrian was one of the sweetest things you or anyone could have done, for he's the sweetest child to ever walk the earth and one who truly deserves parents such as you, Ares and Eros" admits Emily having seen big changes in not only Athena but Adrian as well, for the child had slowly started coming out his shell once he had been officially adopted, Ares and Eros taking Adrian under their wing to being teaching him how to become an Alpha, or in another way, a future King as the Mystic Shadow pack along with the Blood Rose pack and Silver Moon Pack had all but combined making the pack bigger, stronger and some day Adrian along his brothers and sister would soon someday become the new rulers once they were ready.

"She's right you know, that child has all but opened up to you and I think it was because of the Moon Goddess, she who decided that Adrian would be yours and only yours replies Emma, a smile now gracing her face too.

Unable to hide my embarrassment, does Maya move to approach me slowly, Their right you know, we see it everyday but for now, let us get you ready, this day is about you being pampered before walking down a big beautiful aisle to meet your mates smiles Maya as she moves to guide me over to a chair.

"Sit

Not one to be told twice do I move to sit down just as Maya then moves to pick up a hair brush and begin brushing out my hair, having showered the night before so that my hair wouldn't be wet I slowly let my mind fade into bliss, wanting to enjoy this moment before leaving to see my mates.

-Ares POV-

It was 3 in the morning when Eros and I had finally arrived to help with the setup, having dropped off Adrian with our father, Eros and I had decided to make sure things were running smoothly before the ceremony as our mate was currently up in our room getting ready

Chapter 88

"Do you think she'll like it?" asks Eros as we move to help set up the giant white canopy that would act as a shade as well as a tere as i move to gather the fairy lights.

"Of course she will, this was the whole purpose of having mother help her plan out the wedding, so that we may give her the dream wedding she's always wanted" I say to him, my eyes shifting towards him as I move to set the lights aside,

Nodding, we move to finish with setting up the tent while Kai, Lucas, Seth and Sam each moved to help with other minor tasks as vendors as well as pack members each move to help get the pack ready to host for soon other visiting packs would be arriving as well as other important guests and in a way things had to be perfect.

"Forget perfect, it needs to look stunning' chimes Zeus referring to how our mate would react to seeing it all come together,

"It will pal, just sit back and relax, as today is all about her, our Luna, our Mate' I reply back, now moving to hang up the lights just like we had done it the night of our engagement, the night we had asked her to marry us and the night both Eros and I had given our wolves total control allowing them seek pleasure within their mate,

Feeling Zeus purr in content, do I move to let my eyes wonder, taking in all the beauty around us as everything slowly comes together,

Wow, in less than 24 hours Eros and I along with Athena will be Mr. and Mrs. Moonheart, I finally think, letting everything finally sink in just as Kai moves to approach us.

"Everythings coming along nicely, you two should probably head inside and start getting ready, Emma has already linked with Seth and had said that Athena is almost ready, Maya's just finishing up the last of her look before helping her with her dress" replies Kai with a smile, knowing how well that his Alpha's have been waiting for this moment.

"Thanks, we'll head inside soon" I move to say to Kai, wanting to be the one to finish with the lights before Eros and I finally head inside to get changed, knowing in less than 2 hours we would be getting married as the wedding was for 2 pm and it was already 12 noon, a whole 4 hours had finally passed and while there were still a few minor things to take care of I knew that our pack would be able to handle it giving me and Eros that time to get ready before having to greet guests.

-Athena's POV-

Now standing in front of a full length mirror I all but try not to cry, my eyes taking in the gorgeous look as Maya had worked diligently on making sure that my hair had been curled and pinned into a beautiful updo with tiny diamond clips as well as helping me put on my mothers necklace, a necklace I would hope to someday pass onto my daughter.

"Beautiful" I hear a voice, causing me to turn as I now see Uncle Alex and Uncle Rick causing me to smile.

"What are you both doing here?" I ask, curious as to why they were here.

"To walk you down the aisle of course" admits Rick, his eyes showing nothing but love and support.

Feeling a lump now forming in my throat all I can do is nod, knowing that my father, Alpha Ryder, was no longer among the living and therefore unable to walk me down the aisle do I nod, my Uncles being more father than anyone else that I knew other than Alpha Alarick. Trying not to cry do I nod, "Thank you" was all I could muster as I slowly move over to them, each of them offering me an arm before slowly leading me down to where the ceremony would be held, Emma, Emily, Maya and Gwen each following closely behind me, each of them in stunning shades of blue for blue was one of my many favorite colors.
