Sparks ignited on my skin as I slowly began to wake up. We were up rather late last night with...activities. Josiah snored to my right, his arm wrapped protectively around my waist, Jeremiah lay to my left, his firm hand pressed to my stomach and legs entangled with mine. Wiggling out of their grasp I head to the bathroom for a quick shower and promptly dressing myself in a rich blue maxi dress and tying my hair into a bun. Heading downstairs I greet pack members who are already up and moving around. Walking towards the kitchen I let out a yawn, rubbing the sleep from my eyes lazily.

"Good Morning, Luna." Elaine's sweet voice called from the kitchen. Walking in I see our plates are already set out. Elain smiles at me sweetly before turning her attention back to the stove. Serenity sat at the table picking with her food.

"What's wrong?" I asked, taking my seat. Serenity lets out a dramatic sigh.

"He won't even spare me a glance." she started.

"Are you sure? Because last night he growled at you for mentioning my mates the way that you did." I reminded her with raised eyebrows.

"The last thing he said to me was, and I quote, 'You are not my mate. It is my wolf that wants you and I would rather lose him completely than to be the mate of an Oracle.' And scene." Serenity over exaggerated by making her voice deeper and putting a scowl on her face.

"Well, hook up with one of the unmated warriors." I shrug nonchalantly.

"Are you crazy?" Serenity gasped.

"I made a suggestion, you don't have to do it." Suddenly two loud roars shook the house.

"Listen, I know he can be difficult and of the many things I've learned about him over the course of a week. It's that he doesn't know how to express his feelings. He's been closed off to me ever since you came, I even tried asking the head warrior, Damien, about it."

"Damien?" Serenity asked, tilting her head.

"Yeah, he's been out traveling and training weaker packs to defend themselves. It's part of the agreement the packs have with the twins." Stomping could be heard from down the hallway and could only roll my eyes, they're so dramatic.

Josiah and Jeremiah's large forms filled the doorway as their eyes landed on me. Their chest heaved as they tried to catch their breath. Striding over to me they shove their heads into the crook of my neck inhaling deeply.

"Do not leave our side without telling us." Josiah grumbled out against my neck.

"I only came down for some breakfast." I commented bringing my hand up to his hair.

"Even so, you should have woken one of us." Josiah grumbled once again. Rolling my eyes I shoo them off of me and continuing to eat.

"And what is this that we hear about our gamma?" Jeremiah asks as he takes a seat to my right.

"Nothing, Alpha." Aoife's voice came from the doorway.

"I came to report in." Aoife started.

"We have received a letter from Alpha Greyson, I believe that you would like to read it." Aoife held up an envelope addressed to The Stone Alphas of the West. Taking The envelope Jeremiah shared a look with Josiah, their eyes glazing over for a second before they nodded in agreement. Standing up from the table, they leave the kitchen.

"We're coming with you." Serenity and I stood up quickly from the table chasing after them.

"No, we will handle this." Josiah stated firmly.

"We've got information I'm sure you'd want." I insist on crossing my arms. Josiah and Jeremiah sheared a look before sighing.

"Come on." Jeremiah sighed, turning around and continuing his way to their office.

Taking a seat at their desks Josiah was the first to speak.

"Now what is this information you have to tell us?" He asked.

"I had a vision about alpha Greyson." Serenity starts, the twins nod their heads urging her to continue.

"He is a mess, and has the means to destroy your pack. He will be coming soon. To claim what he believes is his. He is unstable, and apparently the elder council has known, but has done nothing about him." They growl knowing what she means, knowing that she means he is coming for me.

"That is why I had been questioning Cassie if you have fully mated. Marking her only means to drive away unmated males, a temporary fix. Fully mating her prevents him from removing her mark." Serenity explains with a cold expression.

"What does he plan to do?" Josiah asks slamming his fist onto the table. Serenity says nothing other than pushing the envelope closer to them. Jeremiah picks it up, ripping it open.

To The Stone Alpha's of the West,

You have what is mine and I will be coming for her. You thought that because I left that this was over, but you are sorely mistaken. Cassandra Rivers is MINE! She has been since the moment I first met her. I will be coming when you least expect it, to take what the Moon Goddess promised for me. I have more allies than you think, I will bring an army and destroy your pack. I know you have not fully mated her yet, all the more reason for me to take her. Take care of my mate for me.

Yours Truly, Greyson Daniels

Jeremiah's fist shook as he read the letter, anger rushing off him in waves making my wolf pace in my head at the need to comfort our mate.

"We have to complete the mating process." Josiah demanded. Shaking my head I stand up quickly.

"We are not rushing things for the sake of driving off that nut job." I yell, there's no way this incompetent alpha will rush my first time.

"We are just trying to protect you!" Jeremiah joins in the yelling contest.

"Excuse me? Hey, yeah. How about we stop with the yelling match and talk about this like the reasonable people we are...well some of us." Serenity interjects raising her voice slightly. Suddenly her eyes began to glow, her pupils disappearing in a sea of white. Serenity dropped to the ground, her body starting to convulse. Her arms shook her head rolling back and she strained.

"What's happening?" Josiah panicked as I dropped to the floor picking up her head and placing it in my lap. I let my hands run over her head in a soothing manner, remembering the times I had been with Savannah when she had her visions.

"She's having a vision. She'll be fine." I mention keeping my attention on her.

"It wasn't this violent when she had one while at her previous pack." Jeremiah stated his voice was calm and soothing.

The door slammed open to see a disheveled Aoife, he looked at me panic filling his eyes.

"What is happening to my m- to her?" He questioned rushing over to her side. His eyes trailing up and down her body.

"She is having a vision, she will be fine in a second." Suddenly she stopped moving all together. Her eyes snapped open and she launched forward sucking in a deep breath.

"I saw...Greyson...He truly does have an army." I glanced at my boys, I'm sure they could see me pale at her words. Greyson was coming...
