Artemis

Chapter Two

My eyes stayed locked on Alpha Zeus's as he walked towards me. I tried not to buckle under his immense power he was pulsating with.

When he got closer to me, I noticed both packs now staring at the strange event unfolding.

My packed looked scared for me, probably thinking I was going to have my neck snapped, while the Olympian Pack just gave me mildly confused glares.

"Alpha Zeus, what are you-" his Beta, Gabriel tried to question.

"Silence, brother!" Alpha Zeus boomed, stopping Beta Gabriel short.

Brother? They are brothers? No wonder the Beta gave off such a strong power. He had Alpha blood, but Beta position, indicating he lost a duel with Alpha Zeus for the title.

I snapped out of my thoughts as I noticed Alpha Zeus getting nearer and nearer.

I whimpered, scared to death.

'Mate! Mate! He won't hurt us!' Hera yelled in my head.

Alpha Zeus got within an arms reach from me. I had never been so close to someone of such power. It was terrifying. I reached his chest, and I was dwarfed by his muscular structure. I craned my neck to see him.

I examined his handsome face. Dark eyes, sharp jawline, perfect. As if chiseled by an angel. I couldn't tear my eyes from his eyes though, so intrigued yet frightened. His dark brown eyes held cruelness, yet a great deal softer than he had looked at anyone else.

He reached out and grabbed my forearm, and I felt electrifying tingles rush throughout me. It was as if this was the confirmation he needed to know we were, in fact, mates.

I gasped at his touch, and his jaw clenched.

"Mate," he stated with no emotion.

Everybody gasped simultaneously, staring at us. How was I mated to... him? I've never done anything bad in my life to deserve this. He'd probably kill me. I heard him earlier. No weaknesses, he'd said.

My mind was jumbled up and I was beyond confused. Luna? Of Olympian Pack? Me? Artemis Green? I'm a plain, no-rank, wolf. I'm not worthy of an Alpha, especially one I hold extreme contempt for.

"All of the original pack, return home. Ex-Bluegrass pack members, return to your homes too. We will be back in three months to collect all of you and bring you to your new pack. The exact date will be determined later. Gabriel, take my mate back. Keep her in my house until I return. Andrew, I expect you to get your pack together in three months," Alpha Zeus boomed. Everybody bowed under his looming power.

"Yes, Alpha," everybody chanted.

My mouth dropped. What? Go back with him? Alone? Without Kristine? Or anybody else in my pack for that matter?

"Wh-" I start to question, furious and scared, until Alpha Zeus interrupted, looking me in the eye.

"No questions. This is final." His deep voice snapped.

Beta Gabriel ushered me, shell shocked and fazed, to a black SUV. Me being a no-rank, I had no choice, but my prideful wolfs still didn't like being a push-over.

"What? Stop! You can't do this!" I yelled, regaining my senses as I realized I was being shut into the vehicle.

"Alphas orders," Beta Gabriel hissed at me.

His cruel demeanor quieted me. A single, rebel, tear rolled down my cheek, as I realized what just happened. I'm mates with Alpha Zeus of the Olympian Pack. My new pack. My new Alpha. I'm being forced to his- now my packs'- territory.
