Athena POV
The next morning I woke up with a refreshing thought that I'm going to be 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 daddy liked them. All of a sudden I hear 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.
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 began to walk towards Me.
We both hear a piercing growl followed by a gun shot. Thorn ducks and covers as the gun is being 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 loaded and put another bullet in the chamber of his shot gun. Adam bowed his head before Athena as she motioned for him to go in and get cleaned up. Thorn stood back up as he felt the cold barrel of the shot gun against his head, with his hands in the air. In a Gruff voice 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 daughter's mate for forgiveness. Just because you're a rogue wolf does not mean you get to steal my daughter. She found her mate and you just met him. 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!"
With a huge sigh of relief and breakfast now ruined.... I had no idea what to do. I was supposed 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.
We used to be best friends and apart from a great pack. We were once a great pack known as Cedarwood. We had so many families and children. I guess because mom died they felt dad was no longer able to continue his alpha duties. Boy they were 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. Soon followed our Gamma, and then everyone else. Now it's just 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.
I didn't have to turn around to know it was Alpha Adam. My thoughts went right to, I have to tell him 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. He slowly moved closer to me as I turned around trying to wipe all the tears away. In a way I was scared of accepting to be his Luna because I have no clue what will happen to our land let alone my father.
We are a pack of two. More tears fell at the thought of my father and being overwhelmed. Adam slowly wiped away my tears. 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 and I would do anything to help and make you happy. I have the money to help. your dad 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. I don't want to be scared, I am scared for so many reasons. The new place is first, but I also don't want Thorn to hurt him or my dad. One thing I look 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 no reason. With 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. I know I can still visit my dad. This will strengthen me. I just hope I get to have my wolf 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.
