It's about 8 o'clock in the morning when I finally begin to stir, my stomach growling to signal to me that it was time to get up. Blinking, I move my hand to feel around the bed only to find it currently empty. Huh, I wonder, moving to sit up as my eyes move to look at either side of the bed, my mates both gone from the bed. Eros's spot was a little warmer than Ares as though he had just gotten up whereas Ares's spot had been colder like he had been gone for a while. Guess it's time I got up too, I muse. Moving to stretch my body, my muscles surprisingly not too sore from last night's fun as I move to take a quick shower, not wanting to smell like sex before going down to breakfast, feeling positive that my mates would be there as well. Smiling, I move to do just that. Shower. -30 Minutes Later-

Looks busy, I thought, moving to grab food from the breakfast bar that was set up for all, my eyes scanning for either my mates or that of Kai and the others and I continued to grab what I wanted to eat.

Grabbing what I wanted, I move to turn only to come face to face with Lily, a frown on her face as our eyes meet. "Well... if it isn't the wanna be Luna" sneers Lily, her eyes filled with disdain.

'Let me at her' growls Artemis, wanting a piece of her.

'No, we'll get in trouble if we do,' I tell her, trying to stay neutral, on Lily. "Good Morning Lily" I say, trying to be polite..

"Don't morning me, because of you, Eros and Ares won't talk to me anymore" growls Lily, her
