Josephine POV:

"You should've told me you were the Moon Goddess!" Mercy exclaims as I brush through her blonde hair with a brush that looks like what a princess would use.

"Oh hush, you would've been way more of a nervous reck the whole time if I did." I tell her matter-of-factly with a raised brow. Mercy huffs, and crosses her arms. "Don't pout," I tell her as I put blood red roses into her hair. "It makes you seem like your three," I chuckle.

"Yeah yeah, just hurry up miss Goddess so we can go to this temple of yours." Her eyes look into mine through the mirror she's sitting in front of. Slowly her face starts to morph into one of a vampire, the whites of her eyes turn red and veins appear beneath her eyes. She looks back to herself, "shit!" She exclaims. "Why does this keep happening to me?" She quickly brings her hands up to her face to cover herself.

"Because your a vampire that just discovered your a vampire, it's going to take a while to be able to control it." I tell her then reach over to remove her hands from her face. She looks up at me and slowly her face goes back to normal. "Now get up, we have a mystery to solve!" I grip her shoulders excited.

"And what is this mystery that you keep going on about?" She sassily replies. Ever since getting back from that horrible place, I have been able to see her flourish into the person that Hero says she once was.

I smile mischievously, "that's for me to know and you to find out."

We exit Mercy's room dressed in the outfits I chose for us to wear to my temple. Her in a blood red dress, and me in a blue one. (A/n: up above) Stealthily, we move through the halls making sure no one sees us. Especially Hero, if he were to he wouldn't let us leave. And we have to also be mindful of pack members because we know for sure they would tell him. I could use my powers to get us out but what would be the fun in that.

I look to Mercy, "ready?"

She nods with a smirk, "of course, bitch."

I take her hand in mine and we are off running through the halls. We laugh loud as our dresses flow behind us and we end up not caring who sees or hears us. Barefoot we run through the large hallways with our golden locks that are intertwined with flowers blow in the wind from the open windows, pack members look at us in both confusion and awe and we just smile at them. I admire that place that I have been living in these last few month with my mate and thank my mother for giving him to me.

Looking over to Mercy, she looks back at me with a grand smile that tells me she's never done this before but that she's enjoying in nonetheless.

Once we have reached the back door that leads to the garden we hear who we were trying to avoid... well avoid in the beginning, approach us.

"Josephine, Mercy." We hear him call out our names and we turn around to see him standing there with a forced straight face. We can both tell he wants to smile but isn't allowing himself to do so.

"Yes?" We reply in unison, still holding hands.

I see his eyes rake over my body and he slightly smirks, Mercy starts making gagging noises and elbow her side. "Ouch," she mutters.

"Where do you ladies think your going dressed like that? And why were you running through the halls like lunatics? So many pack members rushed to my office door to report loud girls making a ruckus."

'Don't say a word, I got this... also look away and cover your ears' I tell Mercy in her mind. I see her subtly nod out of the corner of my eye. Releasing her hand, I sway my hips seductively as I walk over to Hero with leisurely strides.

"My dear mate," I purr and trail my finger tips lightly from his pristine white button up shirt clad chest that is hugging his biceps quite deliciously may I add, down to his waist that is covered in black suit pants. "Me and your sister that you love so much just wanted to go out and have some fun," I bat my eyelashes at him and choose not to comment of his other question.

"But," he groans as I rub my hand over the bulge of his pants while giving him a innocent look, acting like I don't know what I'm doing to him, "-it's dangerous." His eyes close briefly, I imagine it's him trying to control himself and his wolf. He also seems to have forgotten about his other question.

"Love, I am the Moon Goddess, nothing is too dangerous for me." I pout and look at him with big eyes and rub him a bit faster. His breathing becomes heavy and labored.

"How about me and you just go to our bedroom and have some fun," he grunts with pleading eyes.

"Oh no, no, no, babe." I continue to give him my innocent eyes. "I have some obligations I need to tend to," purposely I shrug my shoulders in a way that pushes my boobs together as I do so. He looks down to them and his brows furrow like he's in pain or wants to cry. Suddenly I stop my hands movement and grip him, his eyes widen in shock.

"Now, your gonna let me and Mercy go peacefully without a fight, is that clear?" I raise a brow at him as I feel my eyes turn white.

He nods his head frantically, "yes, baby, of course."

"Good." I release him and walk to the back door with Mercy following, "don't wait up!" I exclaim as we leave and my eyes go back to normal.

"Was all of that really necessary, couldn't you have used your powers to get us out without being seen or just make him easily let us go?" Mercy asks with a chuckle.

I chuckle too, "yeah I guess, but what would be the fun in that? Also I thought I told you too look away and cover your ears." I huff at the end.

"Sorry, but it was just too funny to watch him act like a puppy trying to get a treat from their owner."

That's because he was trying to get a treat, Tessa laughs. Especially Hardin, she adds. Now that puts some images in my head. I think back to that outfit Hero was wearing that showed off his body magnificently, then I think about me taking it off of him-

A hand waving in front of my face takes me from my thoughts, "Yoo-hoo!" Mercy exclaims, "I know what your thinking about, so stop thinking it," her face scrunches up in disgust.

"Whatever, when you get your mate your gonna be doing the same thing." I cross my arms.

"I know, but when I do it you know I'm not gonna be thinking about your own family member." She replies and instantly that makes my face scrunch up in disgust. "See!" She points to my face with a triumphant smirk.

"Yeah yeah," I wave her hand off as we stomp through the now thick forest still barefoot. I have spelled both me and Mercy so that no wolves or anyone can smell where we are going. "Come on," I grip her arm, "we should hurry."

"Why?"

"Because I miss my temple."
