“You wouldn’t understand. I’m sorry, Athena but we can’t be together not now at least” he paused his hands rubbing over his face before looking back at me. “I, Axel Gemstone rej…” before he could finish his sentence, I sped in front of him placing my lips on his in a bid to prevent the rejection.

Axel gripped my arms pulling me away as his deep brown eyes stared into my blue eyes. I thought he was going to turn away from me and continue with his rejection, but to my surprise he didn’t.

**********

My name is Athena, and my twin sister Vanessa and I are the great-granddaughters of the moon goddess.

Growing up life was hard. I felt like an outcast, constantly getting into trouble just to get noticed, but nothing worked, and eventually depression set in.

My life wasn't the same until my grandfather's annual masquerade ball at the Royal Kingdom.

When he grabbed my hand, I felt the sparks and instantly knew he was my mate. I finally thought I would be accepted by someone until my heart shattered when I saw him kissing my sister. That night when the clock struck twelve all bets were off, I turned eighteen and got my wolf.

Now, Venus and I will stop at nothing to take back what is ours.

He is my mate!
