His Rejected Warrior Luna

Athena Blackstone pov “Gavin! You're here?!” Veronica stammered as she offered me a friendly pat on my shoulder. Disgusted, I grabbed her hand and yanked her forward, causing her to stumble to her knees. “That's for breaking my mom's necklace,” I hissed in her lowered ear. The crowd started to snicker at their soon-to-be Luna, she got up, wiped off her knees, and glared at me."Athena, show some respect for your Luna," she snarled and whipped her hand back then slapped me hard across the face.Gritting my teeth I narrowed my eyes at the bitch."You still haven't changed," the Gavin stranger said from behind me, and Veronica stammered, "She was being insolent and needed discipline!" I glanced at her and then the guy and was confused by Veronica looking as if she was the one who had been slapped. “What's her deal,” I questioned Bria with my thoughts and she said that she hadn't a clue. Finished with her odd charade, I rolled my eyes, and with my broken necklace clasp in my

Athena Blackstone pov I watched Veronica wave her personal guards at me as she rushed to face me. “Take this insolent bitch to Alpha’s office; as for you, Athena, we will see if you're spreading falsehoods about the prince,” she hissed. Being whisked away by her two guards, I was feeling conflicted. “Did she just call Gavin a prince?” I questioned my wolf. “Yes, she did, this is getting very interesting,” Bria growled in my head as I was forced to the Alpha's residence and shown to the office. “Sit there, Athena Blackstone, while I get Gavin on speakerphone, and we will see exactly what happened,” Veronica snarled. I watched her as she went around the desk and sat down in the Alpha’s chair. The two guards stood at my sides and I side-eyed them both. I didn't know these two and figured that Veronica brought them both from her original pack. “I wonder where the Alpha is?” I thought to my wolf while she pushed out the numbers on her cell phone. “Hello?” Gavin's recognizable voi

Gavin Montgomery pov After receiving the call from Veronica I was more anxious to return to see Athena. I hadn't answered her question directly and only reminded the wicked woman that I was going to be married soon to get her off my back. Confused about why she was questioning me about her kitchen worker I had pondered about it the entire evening. The next morning I was sitting in my office and fumbling with the necklace that my jeweler had just finished repairing. “The female didn't lie about who she was; her bloodline is that of a warrior and she is a moonless shifter like yourself. She was not part of the kitchen staff,” my Lycan, Rudik, growled sternly in my mind. “If I hadn't had to return to deal with the rogues that attacked my Silver Moon pack I would have made her my luna queen by now and told her the truth about everything that very night. Hell, I have been searching for my mate since receiving the crown three years ago and well before that,” I muttered. “What are you i

Gavin Montgomery pov Heading back to my pack, my mind was full of images of Athena during our mating and then the blood-stained straw inside the cell. I couldn't determine what had happened to her and Veronica nor Jordan had been any help. “If they inflicted harm on her I'm vowing to personally end both of their lives,” I asserted with a scowl. My Lycan Rudik agreed with me wholeheartedly but then mentioned Justine… "You must tell the chit the truth and end the farce engagement,” he stated firmly. Lowering my eyes I pinched the bridge of my nose and growled. “I will tell her that I have found my real mate and plan on making her my queen. She will have to decide what she plans to do,” I muttered as I pulled up in front of my house and glanced up at the door. “Her Dad is going to be pissed,” I huffed. “Why, he is not the one who is getting refused to marry,” Rudik growled. My cell phone started ringing and I answered it. Listening to the person on the other line, I grew surpri

Athena Blackstone pov Seeing my mother’s necklace in Gavin's possession I gasped and reached out for it. “You repaired it for me?!” I sighed in disbelief. “I had the means to the right individual that could restore it to its original splendor, so I did; it was the least I could do for you after that amazing night we shared,” he said with a grin. I smiled back at him as I expressed my thanks. Putting it back on around my neck I looked down at the heart pendent and wiped the moisture collecting in my eyes. “This means a lot, thank you,” I told him truthfully. Glancing at Gavin I thought that perhaps not all men were assholes. “There are others that have proven themselves, like Anton and Seth, the two guards you trained with,” Bria stated in my subconscious. “True, but only Anton still breathes; Seth was ill and passed away,” I muttered sourly, catching Gavin's attention. “What are you mumbling about,” he asked playfully and I told him that I was just thinking out loud. “Um,
