Chapter 52:

Pythia POV:

As I sat on the couch with Ambrosia and the boys I heard the front door open. His scent hit me before I could even turn my head. "Back already?" I asked, smiling down at my son who was making the cutest little noises. "For a bit, I need to talk to you though." Tye replied. "Okay, what is wrong?" I asked, looking up at him. He sat down next to me and extended his hand to Apollo who took his finger with ease. "Nothing is wrong, I just need some advice." Tye replied. "I'm all ears, what can I help with?" I asked. "Well I made it official by starting a pack, Brandon and Leia will share the title for beta, but we are holding a competition for the top warriors this weekend. I need a pack name though and I don't know where to start." Tye replied. "Well first off, I think it is wonderful you gave them the beta spots but you will still need a gamma. A competition for warriors is a great idea. As far as a pack name, I believe you should go with what your heart thinks." I replied. 

Maybe he should have a competition for the gamma position as well. "I would like to name the pack after the three of us somehow." Tye replied. "Well what is something that we all have in common?" I asked. "Our eyes, he literally has one of each of our eyes." Tye whispered. It seems that Apollos eyes have grown brighter each day. They are almost identical to ours. It is very unique for that to happen but it suits him well. "What about the green pack?" Tye asked. "No, that doesn't fit right." I replied. "Okay, what about the blessed pack?" Tye asked. "That does have a nice ring to it but it still doesn't feel right." I replied. As I sat there and thought a whisper of a word floated through my head. "What about the Emerald Moon Pack?" I asked. Tye looked stunned for a second, "That name just came through my mind. I really like it." Tye said smiling.

I wonder where the name came from but a feeling deep within me made me realize it was Athea. "Emerald Moon Pack it is then, but might I suggest something?" I asked. "Of course my beauty, this is your pack as well." Tye replied. "There should be a battle for the gamma position as well. Those who don't want to be warriors should have the option to do something else as well." I replied. "That's a good idea. We can do that this weekend as well." Tye replied. Looks like we will have a busy weekend, not that I mind. "I think that is a lovely name. It fits your little family perfectly." Ambrosia said. "I will leave you ladies alone now, I have to go check on Brandon and Leia and see how those two are doing." Tye said, handing Apollo back to me. "I was thinking we could go on a nice walk, it is a beautiful day out." Ambrosia said smiling. "That sounds like a great idea, let's get strollers." I replied standing on my feet. 

Tye kissed my cheek before kissing the top of our sons head, "I will see you two at lunch." Tye said before he walked out of the door. As we set up the strollers and packed the bags both boys seemed to be in really good moods. I always had a fear that I would end up like my mother. It was the reason I never really dated anyone. I never wanted to be like her, but now that I am a mother it is even harder for me to fathom someone being so hateful and ugly to children. "The sun feels wonderful, I feel like we have been inside forever now." Ambrosia said. "That is the truth, I'm glad we can finally move around." I replied. I looked around and saw people were out moving around today. That must be because everyone has heard of the new pack that will be starting up. Everyone has had a good life but every now and then people crave for a fresh start. Maybe they think they will get a job they wanted but never could. Maybe they think they can improve their own lives. 

The message must have been sent out about the battles this weekend because I see people training across the field but four people stood out the most. Leia and Brandon were going at each other like they didn't know each other at all but then, my eyes fell on two men. They looked so much alike, they are twins now so I took a closer look. Their bodies were chiseled like they were made out of stone. The closer we got the more I could see their scars, they must already be fighters. I looked back to Brandon and Leia, she had a large scar that went down her back. I have seen it before when we were getting her mind back to where it needed to be but I never asked her about it. Maybe she got it in a fight? I knew Brandon wouldn't take on the position of a warrior, yes he will need to train since he will be beta but Leia looks like a true female warrior and I am here for it. 

We need more women like her, she is tough. She could have broken a long time ago but she never did and that was something I truly admire about her. We stood and watched them for a few minutes before we started walking again. Everything seemed so peaceful today which still felt odd but this would be our new normal. This was something I had always wanted. "What is the deal with your brother? I thought Jackson was going to rip his head off." I asked. "I kind of wish he would have, it would have saved me the headache. I have some people watching him closely. He is persistent on speaking with the humans and normally I would agree but given his past I have him on a probation period." Ambrosia laughed. "I don't blame you, if you need any help let me know." I replied. "Do you know how to make a truth potion?" Ambrosia asked. "I would have to look into it to see if it is possible. I haven't heard of anyone doing something like that but then again I suppose anything is possible." I replied. 

That would be something I would have to ask around about, maybe it's in a book somewhere. "If it is possible it would be something I give to him to see if he is being truthful." Ambrosia replied. "If I figure anything out I will let you know." I replied. I took a deep breath enjoying the fresh air enjoying everything when Lillith popped in front of us. "Pythia, we have a problem." Lillith said with a look I knew all too well. "What's happened?" I asked. "It's Damien and Storm, others have heard them plotting against you all." Lillith said with anger written all over her face. "All of us as in..?" I asked. "You, Tye, Apollo, Ambrosia, literally all of you." Lillith said. Growls ripped through the air and I looked around to see those who were training had stopped and now were fully focussed on us. Leia was in a full sprint heading straight for us. Her eyes were changed and I knew her wolf had surfaced. "Tye I need you!"  I shouted through the link. Lillith froze on the spot . "Leia stop! Lillith is no threat!" I shouted. 

Leia stopped in front of Lillith "Where are they?" She growled out. If I didn't know her all that well she would have intimidated me to the max. I picked Apollo up out of the stroller and held him close. He didn't make a sound and I was thankful for that. Brandon wrapped his arms around Leia and I watched her melt into him. "I'm sorry." She whispered. "Don't be sorry, no harm was done." I replied with a small smile. My heart was beating a mile a minute. Damien and Storm have lost their marbles. "What is happening?" Tye said as he ran up to us. "Storm and Damien. They are plotting against us all including our children." I said softly. Low growls surrounded us but I didn't feel scared, instead warmth shot through me and when I looked down my little Apollo had a smile across his little face. I looked up to see everyone had calmed and I was amazed. He is still so young. How is he able to do this already? I needed to call Davina and talk to her a little bit more and see what was happening.

"Lillith go get, Adam, Phil and Olivia please." I said looking over to her. She didn't look afraid, more annoyed than anything. The moment she disappeared the other alphas and lunas showed up. I felt a pain from guilt, these are my people and they are threatening everyone else. "Tye opened up the link, we heard everything. We will be sitting guards with each of you women until they are taken care of." Stephen announced. "If anyone is going to kill them it will be me." I stated. "Fine, we can capture them and bring them here." Tye replied. "You will work with my coven as well. These two are elders, very smart and very fast. We need to work together on this." I said. "Jasper, Jenson you two are Ambrosia and Pythias guard until we say otherwise." Tye announced. My eyes locked on the twins I had seen earlier that were training, so that is their names. They looked as serious as ever and I silently hoped they wouldn't be like this all the time. Better yet, how the hell am I going to be able to tell them apart? "Brandon, Leia, you will be with me and the others coming up with a plan." Tye stated. "I will have Lillith bring others to help however they can." I replied. 

Tye turned and smiled at me, even when he is so very serious he manages a smile just for me. "I want you guys to go back to the house." Tye whispered. "Absolutely not. If we have Jasper and Jenson as well and Stephens shield we will be fine to stay outside for at least a few more hours." I replied seriously. We need to be outside and enjoy the sun. "We can't just run and hide when we are threatened. We show no weakness." I added. I was trying so hard to make him understand where I was coming from. "I know, I just worry is all." Tye replied. "I know you do and I love you for that but we need to enjoy our lives. We will be okay." I replied. I know on the inside Tye was fighting a battle with Rex, I will talk to Rex later on. "Just please stay with the twins." Tye whispered. "I promise, now go. We will be fine." I replied, rubbing his arm. Before he walked off he faced the twins. "Do not leave their sides. Do not let harm come to them or you'll pay with your own life." Tye stated. "Don't worry alpha, we will protect them with our life." One replied. "Yeah, we promise." The other followed up. 

I really need to figure out which one is which so I know who I am talking to. I sent a quick text to Lillith so she knew to bring back people that wanted to help. I didn't think that Damien and Storm would go through this much trouble but they will be found soon and I will watch the life drain from their bodies for ever planning on threatening my son......
