I knew I had to make things right, even if it meant facing the consequences head on."Go to the car, Athena," I said softly, my voice tinged with determination. "I need to talk to Racheal alone."Athena hesitated for a moment, her eyes filled with concern, but eventually obeyed and trotted off towards the parked car. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what was to come, and turned back towards the house.I approached Rachel cautiously, my heart pounding in my chest. "Rachel," I pleaded, "please, let me explain."She looked at me with a mix of anger and hurt in her eyes, clearly reluctant to hear me out. After a moment's hesitation, she sighed and reluctantly agreed. "Fine," she said curtly, "but make it quick."We walked in silence towards the backyard, the tension between us palpable.

Athena's POV Time for the mating ceremony with Alpha Axel drew nearer, my heart raced with anticipation. I couldn't believe that I was finally going to become Luna, the mate of the love of my life. It was a dream I had all my life, and now it was about to come true.Standing in front of the mirror, I admired myself in the beautiful and gorgeous dress that had been specially made for this occasion. The perfect lace work and the flowing fabric made me feel like a princess. I couldn't help but smile at my reflection, knowing that soon I would be standing by Alpha Axel's side, as his equal and partner.Just as I was lost in my thoughts, my parents walked into the room. My mother held a small box in her hands, a glimmer of excitement in her eyes. I knew what it contained, and my heart skipped a beat. It was the necklace, a family heirloom that I had been begging her to give me for years now."Sweetheart, it's time," my mother said. "This necklace has been passed down through generati

Racheal's POVAs I slipped on my shorts and made my way downstairs, I could hear the faint sound of my mom bustling around in the kitchen. The morning sunlight streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow on the wooden floors. I joined her in the kitchen, where she was preparing breakfast, and as I sat down at the table, she glanced at me curiously."What's that scar on your thighs?" she asked, her voice filled with concern.I looked down at the faded mark, a reminder of a past adventure.
