Athena POV


The next morning I woke up with a refreshing thought of I'm going to be a Luna. I got up and began packing some of my clothes, and then I decided to make omelets with homemade hash browns just the way my dad liked them. All a sudden I heard a truck pull up. I poke my head out of the front door. It was HIM...... I go back in and shut off the oven and stove top. I walked out of the house and at the top of my lungs I yell what the hell are you doing here?!


You were told to stay off this property Thorn. With a smirk on his face he replied, " I came back to get what's mine. Baby your mine, and no one else's." His voice and tone he gave had chills running down my spine. As he got closer to Me. As he made his way towards me we both heard a piercing growl followed by a gun shot. Thorn ducked and covered when he heard the gun fired, and watching in a horrifying disgust as he sees the wolf next to me change back into human form.


He watched as my dad load another bullet into the chamber of his shot gun. Adam bowed his head before me as I motioned for him to go in and get cleaned up. Thorn stood back up as he felt the cold barrel of the the shot gun against his head, with his hands in the air. In a Gruff voice my father Alpha Ron said, " I told you to stay off my property and to never come near my daughter again. I will give you one more chance.


Next time you'll be surrounded by a pack, and when that happens you'll be begging my daughters mate for forgiveness. Just because your a rogue wolf does not mean you get steal my daughter. She found her mate and you just met him, his name is Alpha Adam. Next time you try something Alpha Adam will decide your fate. Be ready to fight to the death with him if you piss him off NOW GET OFF MY PROPERTY!" yelled my father. With a huge sigh of relief and breakfast now ruined.... I had no idea what to do.


I was suppose to have this as a surprise so I could talk to my dad.... Now what will I do? Standing in the kitchen with my hands covering my face and head hung back.... I took a big sigh as I cleaned up the kitchen with tears flowing down my face. Never in my right mind did I ever think that Thorn would come back. He was apart of the pack my dad once owned and cared for before mom died. We used to be best friends and when we were 14 the moon goddess told me he was my mate no longer and I would have a new one at 18 years old instead of 16 years old.


We were once a great pack known as Cedarwood pack. We had so many families and children. I guess because mom died they felt dad was no longer able to continue his alpha duties and left. Boy were they very wrong. The pack left a few years after I was born, I guess my dad messed up several times and instead of letting him work through his grief everyone left. Including our Beta Nick who was my dad's best friend.


After a few months after our Gamma left along with everyone else. Now it's just my dad and I. We are all that's left of the Cedarwood pack...... I was so lost in thought and silently crying I didn't even hear the footsteps behind me. I could smell his scent and it smelled so good, and felt soothing. I didn't have to turn around to know it was Alpha Adam. My thoughts went right to, I have to tell him what I've decided.


Adam I have decided, to become your Luna, Wife, mother of our children, and your best friend you can turn to when times get tough. I promise to love you till the day I die, this is hard, because my father is all I have ever known. He slowly moved closer to me as I turned around while trying to wipe all the tears away. In a way I was scared of accepting to be his Luna because I had no clue what will happen to our land let alone my father. We are a pack of two, and this is all we both have ever known. More tears fell at the thought of my father and being on her own, and it overwhelmed me.


Adam slowly wiped away my tears that I had missed. He lifted my chin slowly as he wiped away more tears slipping down my cheeks. As if he knew what I was thinking and going through he smiled and said " I want you and your dad to move to my land. I want to buy out your property to expand my property so your dad can be a part of my pack. Yes the Cedarwood pack would be no more, but you can be a part of my pack. I love you already and I would do anything to help and make you happy.


I have the money to help your dad, and won't have to move either. You can visit him as often as you want and any time your dad can join us or cook at home. It's his choice too. I won't leave without my beautiful Luna." Adam spoke softly. He wiped more and more tears away and hugged me. He knew I was scared and was being so patient with me.


I don't want to be scared, but I am scared for so many reasons. My new place as Luna was going to come first now, but I also don't want Thorn to hurt him or my dad, or Adam. One thing I looked forward to is becoming a great Luna just like my mother was. She believed in my dad. Instead of putting him down she made him rise with confidence to any occasion. I want to be the same way with my mate. I don't want to reject him for any reason.


With two more deep breaths I began to settle down as he rubbed my back as I calmed down. Before I knew it the day had passed and was over. Adam gave me time to pack all my stuff and move in little by little to get used to everything. I felt it would be best to move in all at once, just to get it done and over with. I know I can still visit my dad, but this will strengthen me. I just hope I get to have my wolf a lot more than I do now. I can feel her presence but I have never fully shifted yet. I feel she is shy and nervous like me, but I hope she will protect me just like Adam has vowed to.
