We walk into my office Brendon and Aria are already there. They both are staring at Anthony when I walk in. I can feel the confusion in both of them through the link. I make my way over to my mates kissing both of them when I hear a noise I don’t need to look around to know the only person that could or would have a problem with it would be the pup. Aria raises her brow looking at me I just shake my head. I'm about to address Kane when there is a knock at the door. Looking over at it when Dan heads to the door “it's Noah” he tells us and I just nod knowing that if this pup wanted to talk to the alpha of the green lake pack then the Lune should be a part of the talk as well.

“I am supposed to only talk to the kings, queen, and the alpha of the green lake pack,” Anthony says. This has Aria annoyed. “well I am the queen these are the kings.” before she can finish He looks around his eyes settle on Daniel and Noah points and opens his mouth about to say something. Daniel cuts him off “I am alpha Daniel of the green lake pack and this is my Lune Noah. So I would say you have everyone here that you asked for what can we do for you?” Daniel inquires.” wait you are the alpha? Why didn’t you say so back there?” he asks looking around the room so confused. “well as you can see you’re a bit bigger than I and so I decided I would wait for back up we have not had the best luck with surprise visitors in the past,” Daniel says looking at this kid who has yet to tell us why he is here.

Brendon growls out in frustration “can we move this along my mate is tired and needs her rest” I can feel through the bond how tired aria is and how annoyed Brendon is I send feelings of love to both of them as I walk over pulling Brendon to me. Kissing him to calm him down some when I feel arias lust spike. “later” I link her the air starting to smell of her arousal. Hearing a throat clear has Brendon growling at the only male in the room that would be affected by arias arousal. Just then the door flies open and Bridget is standing there huffing like she was just running for her life. “stop” pant pant “wait” pant pant “don’t hurt him” pant pant. we all just stare at her as she's lost it he wasn’t in any real danger. Just my jealous mate here but I don’t say that out loud let the kid think he was in danger.

“He and Isaac are important but in what way I don’t know. He and Isaac need to start training together right away they have to be in sync with each other.” she tells us. “excuse me but who are you and who is Isaac and why do I need to be in-syn with him?” Anthony demands. This has Bridget laughing so hard I start to wonder if she can breathe. “oh you will know Isaac as soon as you see him trust me” and with that, she leaves. “your beta is something else Dan” Aria says and we all laugh well all except Anthony. “you don’t have to tell me” Daniel says laughing. “so kid what's the story?” I ask Anthony. he starts his story and boy was it a loop I wasn’t ready for.

I started from the beginning. My father raised me in the human world. Telling me I had to stay hidden was for my safety. Over the years I just accepted that but like most, I needed more than just my father. So when I was 13 my father made friends with a group of wolves close by. Knowing I would need strong wolves around to help me when I shifted for the first time. He always told me he was a weak wolf but to me, he was the strongest wolf still is. I knew from a young age he wasn’t by blood father we looked nothing alike but he raised me. He taught me to always believe and trust the goddess she has a plan. One day an alpha showed up at the rogue camp while father was there. They were looking for strong young men to help them fight against a pack that had wronged them. I don’t know who they were I just know father pulled me from school that day had me pack a pack and took me on the run to hide. He got sick and being that he was a weaker wolf and older he was not healing. So he told me a story one I am going to share with you due to why I was sent here I believe you can be trusted with this tale.

On my father's death bed he told me how he became my father and it was a sad tale one that left me crying not just because it was the last time I talked to my father but the whole thing is sad. Almost 18 years ago I was born to a wonderful pack. One that was fair and just. They ruled over the other packs, not because of their power but because it was in their blood to do so. The alpha line was strong and ancient. One night they were attacked by surprise a fox in the henhouse style attack father called it. He knew he couldn’t fight them but he did know that there were six young pups in the packhouse nursery so he and five other omegas from the kitchen ran for the nursery. It was dinner time and the teens watching the pups were scared out of their minds. The omegas grabbed a pup each telling the teens to run and they ran splitting in different directions. For she-wolf pups and two male pups fled that night. Father didn’t know if any other survived but he told me I was one of the male pups saved from the moonbeam pack. This story hit hard I could feel every word he told me was true. I thanked him for saving me and sent a prayer to the goddess the others survived as well. That night he passed away leaving me even more heartbroken and lost. That night I was pulled to the goddess and she told me I needed to come here and give her granddaughter the queen a message. So I set out to find the queen and now I’m here.

Looking around the room I see the shock on all of their faces. No one is saying anything. Just as I am about to say something the door opens again and in walks that girl from before and older lady and me? Not me cause I’m me but it's like looking in a mirror. I don’t know what to say I am just starring at him like he is staring at me. “who are you?” he says to me and the girl elbows him in the gut. “all in time dork shut up and listen.” she says to him well we know who wears the pants there I laugh to myself. “please continue what you were saying ……” she stops waiting for me to says something but I am still in shock when aria says “Anthony” looking over she makes that continue the motion.

“Ummm yeah, okay so the goddess pulled me to her space told me that she blessed a set of twins to be her granddaughter's guardians but were split about 18 years ago. The queen needs to have them by her side when trouble arrives.” I tell them the older lady is just nodding her head and the clone of me finally speaks “where did you come from and why do you have my face?”
