Our Luna, Our Mate
Chapter 77
Athena’s POV
Beep… Heep… Hespur
It’s a rather annoying little sound when one stops to think when it, for over the past few hours it was all could temporarily hear as my hearing fades in and out, my body on the board of being awake and nake, the set of chlorine and other such cleaning chemicals bitting my nose as I move to breath slowly, my nose when picking up on the sands of many others too.
‘Athena?‘ whispers a voice carefully to me, causing me to stir slightly,
-Huh? Who is it?‘ I groan softly to the voice, dearly still not with it as 1 fight to wake up my body stiff as if I hadn’t moved in at least a couple of days max.
‘Seriously? You forgot about me already‘ gizzles the voice, sounding anused by my lack of response
Pausing, 1 try to piece together the voice that was sounding off within my mind only to finally realize who it was, the voice I had been wanting to hear since my escape from the Rogue King A–Artemis? I all but cry, mentally happy to have her back.
‘Oh my stars, you have no clue how much I’ve been missing your sweet voice I finally say, finally admitting that I missed her during that
time,
I missed you as well my dear sweet Athena, but all okay now, we’re safe replies Artemis as she purrs softly within my head.
‘Safe?‘ I question still unaware that I was back with my mates even as their scents surrounded me in the hospital room.
‘Yes, we’re back home, with our mates, our family and our friends‘ answers Artemis, causing me to tense.
‘Impossible‘ I stammer again not realizing what was going on around me
‘Oh but it is, just open your eyes and you’ll see was all I heard as Artemis nudges me to open my eyes, my body now slowly beginning to wake up after sleeping a soft moan rising past my lips which catches the attention of those within the room.
“She’s waking up” says a familiar voice, my eyes fluttering open as i take in the brightly lit room as I slowly adjust my gaze.
“Wha Where am 17” I mutter, my voice parched from not using it properly.
“Easy there love, you’re at the hospital, you’re safe now murmurs Ares as he gently takes a hand in his, drawing my attention over trim as he and Eros sit next to me in a chair, Eros silently watching me as he does.
“Water?” I say, just as Eros moves to get me some water, filling a glass half full before bringing it to my lips as I take a couple of sips to
wet my throat.
Taking this time to sip my water does another voice move to speak, “You had us so worried little one, you’ve been asleep for 3 days, we weren’t sure if you’d ever wake up” replies the voice that I now recognize as my Uncle Rick’s voice as he sat on another chair next to my
left the twins on my right.
“Where’s Uncle Alex?” I ask, hoping to avoid the white elephant in the room at the moment.
“He’s handling some business but he said he’d return once he knew you were awake” answers Rick, attempting to ease my mind as I move to shift my focus back towards my mates.
“And… What about the babies?” I finally ask, my hand coming to rest against my baby bump, the babies gently kicking me as I did as if trying to tell me they were okay too.

Chapter 77
“Their fine love, it would seem they were magically protected during your two weeks of being held prisoner whispers Eve, nging to f her comfort as he sets the glass of water down, his eyes returning to me my he dres
sighing, I feel like a weight had been lifted as I was worried that my babies seould have been harmed while being in the presence of the Hogue King but apparently it did not as they were safe from the danger Good, for I don’t know what I would do if anything happened to them, I’d be devastated if we let them” 1 murmur trying to think positive and not on the what if had Ezra decided to hurt them instead
“Shhh, don’t think like that, all that matters is that you’re here and youre safe, the babies included remarks Ares as he moves to bed some hair away from my face, drawing my attention to their faces as 1 Gy not to cry remembering everything I put them through
“I’m sorry” I suddenly say, now crying as I did.
Confused by my statement, the twins move to speak again only for me to cut them off. “Before you say it, again I just want to say how truly sorry I am for hurting you… that wasn’t my intention” I say in one go, wanting them to know I truly meant that,
