Ares POV

When I originally decided to host a meeting within my father's office, hadn't realized it was going to take hours just for us to finally get somewhere. 'Really didn't think this one threw did you' grumbles Zeus, having wanted to go to our mate as today was the day she was finally being released from the hospital and Eros and I had wanted to greet her and bring her home but unfortunately, this meeting was taking way longer than it was supposed to.

Shifting my gaze towards a clock on my father's desk I finally see that we've been sitting here for a good 3 hours and it was starting to take its toll on me as I was beginning to get restless as was Eros as Rick, Athena's Uncle, moved to speak up.

"We need to start thinking of a plan for when the Rogue King decides to attack, this pack can't be caught defenseless should Ezra decide to do a sneak attack" remarks Rick his eyes scanning to those within the room, for within the room was Ares, Eros, Rick, Isaac, Ashton, Kai, Seth, Sam, Brayden and Addison along with Alarick and Gwen, the girls, Sophia, Emma and Emily all standing off to the side of the room as all the males talk.

"Who says anything about being defenseless? Just let that oversized prick try, the moment he steps foot onto pack grounds we'll be ready for him" chimes Sam, not liking to hear his pack be called weak.

"No one is saying that idiot, but Alpha Rick makes a valid point, we need to be prepared for anything, after all if him not trying to pick a fight with Ares was anything then just think of his letter that he sent" grunts Seth as he looks to Sam, causing those within the room to shudder for after the first initial conflict between Ezra and Ares, Ezra on the other hand had decided to send them a letter with a very detailed letter about how he was going to wage war on the Mystic Shadow Pack and burn everyone and everything to the ground while fipping Athena away once and for all.

'Over our dead body' grunts Deimos who had finally managed to bounce back after being separated from his mate during the last two

weeks.

'Exactly pal, no way is he going to get away with anything' remarks Eros back to him, his attention currently not on those within the room as Isaac moves to speak up next.

2 hours had passed since the last time I had checked and I all but swallow nervously now, for it's now been 5 hours and as mates we had failed to properly bring our mate home and now here she was home and upset over the fact we hadn't included her in the details, details I would never want my mate to have to go through or listen as we plan out grueling details over what to do, no these are things I would never want her to hear and yet here she

again, "Please don't stop on my account just because I'm here, because clearly you all didn't have a problem with it before" growls Athena, her mood swings kicking in because of the pregnancy. Giggling, Elise moves to sit in Ashton's lap, the need to be close to her Luna a given as it was often hard to be away from him during times like these and sometimes she wished there was just peace for everyone. "I like your mate Ares, Eros, so feisty." "Feisty ain't the word I'd use Elise, more like heart, there's a lot of heart in her" comments Cara as she moves to sit with Brayden and Addison, her dragon mates always a warm welcome to situations like these
