Chapter 53: In the pack house


    “Hey, Athena! I am surprised to find you here!” Patricia eximed as soon as she saw Athena walking


    inside the pack house awkwardly while looking around subconsciously.


    “H…hey, Patricia…” Athena greeted her softly, trying not to gain as much attention. But her n ruined


    as soon as Patricia called her loudly from the big group she was sitting with.


    Patricia was sitting with a group of female pack members. They were generally chatting while ying


    cards. They were in a good mood as they allughed around to something someone said when Athena


    came inside. There were six women in total, including Patricia and it seems like Patricia being the third


    inmand, arranged a refreshing free time for those pack members.


    “Athena? Why are you standing there? Come here! Join us. Come!” Patricia eximed while urging her


    toe and join them.


    The table went silent as soon as everyone noticed her and she felt more ufortable because of


    that. Everyone in that area was looking at her with a nk expression on their faces. Athena


    recognised them all. They were present at that party. So, they recognised her as well.


    If only she could know what they were thinking!


    She looked around to look for other known faces like Suzanne or Nathan, Justin, Dominic. Even Stacey


    would work at that moment. Because as soon as she sees her face, her tempers go up and she


    immediately bes someone else who is ready to not let anyone step over her!


    She let out a small sigh as she stood beside the chair Patricia was sitting on. Patricia looked up at her


    with a smile, not caring about anyone else at that moment.


    “I am sorry, I don’t want to disturb you. I will leave now.” Athena quickly said and was going to turn


    around to leave but Patricia held her hand and stopped her at the right time. She stood up from the


    sofa and looked at her with an assuring smile.


    “It’s okay. You are not disturbing anyone. I am very happy that you came here. Otherwise you are


    always stuck in that mansion.” Patriciained with a pout.


    “Well, I wasn’t feeling very good there as well. Also, Ipleted all the chores. So I thought about


    walking around a little. But then I thought to make some cookies with Ace as he absolutely loved them.


    And it’s been so long since I made themst for him.” She said with a small smile and Patricia’s eyes


    twinkled in happiness as soon as she heard about cookies.


    “Not only him, I love your cookies as well! Ace shared with me and Justin and we became fans


    immediately.” Patricia eximed as everyone stayed silent and didn’t say anything.


    “Thank you, Patricia. I will give some to you again. I just came here to look for Ace. I will leave after


    taking him.” She quickly exined herself while trying her best to not look around.


    “Oh, he must be ying in the garden with other kids. It will be the kids’ snack time soon. They will be


    here any time. Why don’t you sit with us till then?” She asked and Athena’s eyes widened in shock. But


    before she could say something, Patricia looked at the women who were sitting silently till then. “What


    do you say,dies?” She asked with a smile.


    They all looked at each other and they seemed to mind linking each other. Athena looked at them with


    a small frown, ready to leave as soon as they showed disagreement with Patricia’s words.


    The women discussed something among them before looking at them as they waited for their


    responses,


    “Well, what about Stacey? Won’t she be angry?” One of them asked in a little bit worried tone. Patricia


    rolled her eyes as soon as she heard them.


    “Seriously? That’s what you are worried about? Didn’t you hear Alpha’ that night? He refuses to ept


    her as his mate and Luna.” Patricia said with a frown, yet she felt another level of satisfaction when she


    said that.


    “Refuse? Does that mean he rejected her?” Another one asked with a frown.


    “No, he didn’t reject her because she wasn’t his mate in the first ce.” Patricia said with a smirk.


    They all looked at her with a deep frown while Athena looked at her in shock. She didn’t want her to let


    them know about her and Dominic. That might create more problems.


    “What do you mean by that, Patricia?”


    “Then why was he going to make her our Luna?”


    “And why did he back out at the end moment?”


    The other three asked those questions one after another as they all patiently waited for their answers.


    Patricia gave a small look at Athena and immediately found her pleading through her eyes.


    “Well, I can’t answer all your questions because it’s not my job or right in the first ce. But I can


    answer one of your questions right now. You asked, why did he back out at the end moment. That’s


    because…” Patricia stopped and looked at Athena onest time and she was literally begging her


    through eyes at that moment.


    “That’s because he found his mate! His real mate, who is blessed upon him by the moon goddess! His


    soul mate.” She atst settled with that which was better than anything else which Athena imagined.


    She let out a sigh of relief before they started throwing their questions again.


    “What?!”


    “Who is she?”


    “When did he find out?”


    “Do we know her?”.


    “When is he going to introduce her to us?”


    They all shoot questions one after another, increasing the heartbeat of Athena. She prayed they don’t


    hear her heartbeat or else it will surely raise some questions for which she wasn’t prepared for.


    “Well well well, calm down, girls! I can’t answer your questions as I already said, it’s not my ce to tell


    you guys all these. I want to stay within my limit but now you answer my question. What do you say


    about Athena joining us?” Patricia asked again as she looked at them with a raised eyebrow, clearly


    hinting that she wanted positive answers.


    “Well, we don’t have any problems if Stacey isn’t bing the Luna. Because we noticed that she and


    Stacey don’t share a good feet. So, we don’t want to be on the bad side of Stacey by talking with her,”


    One of them said and Patricia let out a scoff which was directed toward Stacey.


    “Don’t worry,dies, I assure you that witch isn’t being our Luna.” Patricia said before taking Athena’s


    hand and pulling her down with her on the sofa she was sitting beside her. Athena looked at her in


    shock but didn’t say anything,


    “Cool! Hello, Athena! Nice meeting you!”


    “Nice meeting you!”


    “Hello!”


    “Good to see you!”


    “Hi, there!”


    They all greeted her differently one after another with big weing smiles. She looked at them with


    surprise as they weed her so warmly but she got out of it immediately and smiled at them as she


    nodded at them.


    “Thank you so much for weing me, everyone. It is really nice to meet you!” She said with a smile.


    “Oh, don’t mention it! You are really beautiful. And you looked really beautiful at the party that day, like


    a queen. So beautiful!” One of them gushed at her, making her blush. Everyone nodded in agreement.


    “Thank you.” She smiled. It’s going to take her some time to break the awkwardness and bepletely


    free with them.


    “Also, your dress was so beautiful. I have never seen it before anywhere. Where did you buy it from?!” I


    want to buy one as well.” Someone else asked in excitement. Athena let out a small chuckle hearing


    them.


    “You are going to be really surprised, almost close to being shocked if you hear where I bought it from.”


    She said with a smile as everyone looked at her in confusion, waiting to know what she meant. “I


    bought i tat a really cheap price from a thrift store and then customised itter. That’s how it used to


    look before.” She said as she brought out her phone and showed them the picture of how it used to


    look before.

    One of them took the phone as everyone looked at it and they all immediately let out a loud gasp as


    soon as they saw how the dress used to look before. They couldn’t believe it.


    “Oh my! You are not only beautiful but talented and a genius as well! Beauty with brains!” One of them


    praised and everyone nodded again as they passed the phone back to her.


    “Thank you. If you guys want, I can customise one for you each in some free time as well.” She offered


    with a happy smile.


    She didn’t know why but she felt happy seeing them pleased and wanted to do something to make


    them really happy. Their eyes widened in happiness as soon as they heard her. They let out a shriek of


    happiness.


    “Thank you so much! We would love that!” They all eximed at the same time, making her feel happy.


    “Okay, okay girls! But she is going to make mine first! So, wait in the line.” Patricia eximed with a


    grin, making them all chuckle but nevertheless they agreed.


    “You are a really cool person, Athena. We really like you. Why didn’t you join us before?” One of them


    asked with a smile.


    Athena looked at Patricia as soon as she heard that question. What was she going to answer? She


    couldn’t tell them that their alpha kept her as a ve of his mansion, forbidding her from going


    anywhere. As well as Stacey, she was a pain in the ass as well! Also, she was sick most of the time


    she was here. She can’t say that as well.


    “Well, as you guys might already know that I have a baby. I am most of the time busy with him and


    don’t realise when the time passes away.” She answered smartly and everyone nodded at her in


    understanding.


    “Yes, handling kids can be tiring and time-consuming We have kids as well.”


    “Well, where are the kids? They should be here by now….” Patricia couldn’tplete her sentence as


    they immediately heard loud voices and noisesing from somewhere.


    Loud stomps and ear bleeding worthy loud screams!


    The little demons just arrived!


    “Mommy! You are here!” Ace eximed in pure happiness as soon as he saw her before running


    toward her. She quickly got up and picked him in her arms before kissing him all over that face, making


    him giggle.


    “Hey, baby! Did you y well?” She asked in a baby voice and he nodded energetically.


    “Yes! And I did something!” Ace eximed with a toothy grin, making her look at him with a raised


    eyebrow. Because whenever he says that he did something, it’s always something troublesome.


    “What did you do this time, baby?” She asked with a sigh, making other giggles as the other kids stood


    around her, making a circle around her.


    “I invited my friends to have cookies with me!” He eximed loudly in excitement as if he just did a


    great job.


    “COOKIES! WE WANT COOKIES!”


    All the other kids chanted immediately after he told her that and she looked at them in shock. They


    were almost twenty kids and they were all giving her hope filled puppy dog eyes, making her heart


    flutter.


    How could she say no to them?!


    “Okay, fine but in one condition!” She said with a smile as she looked at them.


    “WHAT IS IT?” They all shouted again, making her close her eyes with a chuckle.


    “You guys have to help me and do everything I say!” She said and they all let out happy shrieks again,


    making herugh.


    “We want to help as well!” Patricia spoke up with a grin as all the other women nodded at her too. She


    smiled at them.


    “Let’s go then!”
