Athens's Por

After returning home from the Capital and the ceninos dream that I had in which I was able to see not only my thother but the moon goddess as well, I had come bore to find out that my uncle Alex had finally managed to find his mate. A mate who was still on the mend but no longer unconscious

I had even come home to find a new pack member as well. Kade. Ares hard initiated the Welcome Ceremony during my absence which only made me proud of him. For being the bigger person and accepting him into our pack regardless of hour he felt during it. I'm glad we were able to help Kade. Being a Rogue must have been hard for him, especially with losing one's pack like he did to a bunch of Hunters, I mused, being able to relate to him when it came down to losing a pack, a home, because I did as well. When I was only A memory that I've kept locked away for so long. The need to keep it hidden from the world so people couldn't judge me or tarnish that memory often made it unbearable at times.

"It's okay to let go, whispers Artemis.

"I know. It's just hard' I whisper back, currently getting ready to have a playdate with Elise and her son Jayden. Having decided on getting together soon after our trip to the Capital as a smile slowly makes its way across my lips.

The thought of finally seeing Jayden for the first time since his birth made the gathering that much special as he would be meeting Samara for the first time as well. My thoughts now wondering what he could possibly look like. For would he look like Elise and have blonde hair and blue eyes or would he take after Ashton and have auburn hair and hazel blue eyes or maybe a mix between the two and have Elise's hair and Ashton's eyes.

Sighing I move to shake my head, trying not to dwell too much on it as Elise had promised to arrive around noon for Adrian and the triplets first play date. A chance for Jayden and Samara to bond as the triplets were slowly beginning to get older, bigger as they were part wolf which allowed them to age differently than normal babies.

Amused by those thoughts, I move to check in with my tiny bundles of joy. Ryder and Nathan both babbling like two perfectly healthy babies while Samara just slept peacefully. Being the calmer baby of the trio.

Cute, I mentally coo. Each of them beginning to develop traits and personalities of their own as they slowly began to get older. Ryder becoming more of a natural born leader while Nathan became more of a protector of the bunch, yet each one more protective of their sister, while Samara took on more of a carefree personality of the bunch, easy going and always smiling while Adrian took on the more protective big brother role. Another smile making itself present as I knew Adrian would always be there for them no matter what made my heart swell with pride.

'He'll make a fine Alpha one day' admits Artemis, a soft hum rising from me as I move to think about Adrian and how he'll someday grow up into a role of leadership as he was destined to rule over my uncle Alex's pack. The Blood Rose Pack while Ryder would move to rule over the Mystic Shadow Pack and Nathan the Silver Moon Pack.
