Our Luna, Our Mate Chapter 90

**Ares POV**

I can’t believe it, it finally happened, I muse my eyes still taking in the beautiful site that is our Luna. After everything that we’ve endured, we now get to have a moment just for us, come my final thoughts, my mind now thinking of all the new things that Eros and I could do now that our mate was officially ours.

Smiling, I knew exactly what it was that we would do first and that was to take a nice relaxing honeymoon at our privately owned beach house. Yes you’ve heard right, a privately owned beach house, something that my family has owned since we were very little and spent most of our summers at.

‘Don’t get to relaxed, we still have a whore to find’ grumbles Zeus, still unnerved by the fact that Lily had not been present during the fight with the Rogue King and while I wished she had, this little set back hadn’t gone unnoticed, every chance I or Eros got we each continued our search, Elise and the other packs all promising to keep a look out for her as well.

‘Did you have to ruin the moment’ I growl, knowing he was worried but this was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives, one that I would always fight for until my last dying breath, for now, it wasn’t just me or Eros I had to worry about, it was now Athena along with our four children, Adrian, Ryder, Nathan and Samara.

Pausing in thought I move to remember our wedding present to our Luna, one that would surely bring her joy for after the fight with the Rogue King, Eros and I had secretly begun planning out our new future home, one that didn’t revolve around the pack house and gave us the privacy that we needed to raise our children.

‘Mates going to love it’ purrs Zeus, having been excited to tell her the good news since the thought became reality.

‘I hope so, otherwise building that big house will have been for nothing’ I admit for Eros and I had found the perfect spot, a spot that wasn’t directly near the pack house but far enough away to give us the privacy that we needed along with space to raise our pups in the process.

Purring in happiness, Zeus all but moves to retreat knowing just how important it was to both me as well as my brother to have this moment with our mate, having promised that both he and Deimos could come out to play during the honeymoon.

Lost in thoughts I all but miss it when Athena finally nudges me, causing me to turn my focus over to her instead. “Mmm, yes my Luna?” I ask, curious as to what she wanted.

“Can we go eat now? The babies are getting hungry and so am I?” asks Athena, a blush making its way along her cheeks making her cute.

“But of course love, after all the reception is ours as well, come let us go meet up with everyone and relax” chuckles Eros, amused that she even had to ask, for while Father may have told everyone to head over to where the food and music was set up we all knew that Father wouldn’t allow anyone to start until we eventually arrived.

“Come let us go before Father rallies the troops and sends a search party after us” laughs Eros, moving to carefully escort Athena towards the reception, my legs moving to follow them as he did, knowing fully well just how much effort was put into planning this.

-Reception Hall-

When finally arriving, I can’t help but see the big huge area, pack members as well as other packs all moving to find their seats among the tables as Mother had again decided to invite all the packs including our own in which was fine but sometimes I wondered if mother knew the concept of keeping it small and intimate with only close friends and family.

Sighing, I move my gaze over towards my mate only to see her eyes light up at all the beautiful decorations and of course the fairy lights that we had hung up prior to the ceremony starting, having known how much she truly loved those lights.

“It’s- It’s beautiful” whispers Athena in awe, her eyes still taking in everything.

“Not as beautiful as you are love” I murmur back to her, my eyes still on her as she moves to address me, a blush slowly creeping across her cheeks as she did.

“You're such a flatterer” replies Athena, causing me to chuckle as Eros and I move to take her to our table, a small table set for three near the front of the room, all those in attendance now moving to watch us as we gracefully enter.

Once standing near our seats do I move to acknowledge our guests. “Thank you all for coming, it’s with our deepest honor to celebrate with those who have always stayed true to us as a whole and without the support of many, many people Eros and I would not be where we are today, standing here, in front of all of you with our beautiful bride who will soon bring three yet beautiful pups into this world as well as help raise one special little boy” I begin, knowing I was probably being a little over the top but what could I say I was an Alpha and I was deeply in love with my Luna.

Taking pause, I move to watch as many of those either chuckle at my comment or smile warmly at us for it was true, without the alliances of the other 10 packs or those within our very own pack, this pack along with many would not be where we are today.

Smiling, I move to grab my glass as does both Athena and Eros as well as those standing before us as we toast, toasting to all those present as well as to a bright and happy future. “Now then, with speeches finally done I think it’s time we got this celebration going, please enjoy the food as well as the music for tonight we celebrate.”

Cheering, everyone finally begins to sit down just as servants begin to go around and offer everyone something to either eat or drink as we had opted for a sit down dinner opposed to a buffet style because of Athena and her pregnancy, even though I’m sure she would have disagreed with us about being able to still walk and would have waddled her way to and from the buffet just to prove a point.

‘Mates stubborn’ muses Zeus with a chuckle having always found her stubbornness to be sexy just like every other emotion she gave us, for since the battle with the Rogue King, Athena had slowly began to evolve into someone with a bit more bite to her usual shy, timid personality that she usually gave off.

‘Indeed she is pal, Indeed she is’ I move to muse back as my focus now moves to the server who was passing out meal choices.

“Chicken, Beef or Fish?” asks the Server who now stood before their Alpha’s.

“The Beef” I tell her, remembering that this was how things had played out in the beginning.

Nodding, she moves to give the beef, placing it down gently in front of me before turning to address Athena and Eros. “Chicken, Beef or Fish?” she asks again.

“Chicken” answers Athena with a smile.

“I’ll do the Beef as well” answers Eros.

Nodding her head again, she moves to place each of their choices down gently in front of them before moving to help the next table.
