---- Amarah At first I thought this was going to be very awkward with Damien being my first Mate and Theseus as my second chance Mate, but I feel comfortable with his arms wrapped around me.

Minerva is laying in the back of my head, feeling content for the first time in years.

For a while we sit in a comfortable silence as each of us is sipping their coffee and I know Theseus didn't like it when I got off from his lap, but for the next topic we have to discuss I also want to see how his men react.

I will wait until everyone has finished their coffee before I will bring up Asteria and Inti.

lone is the last one to place her cup on the table and I turn to face Theseus to tell him about Asteria.

What is it, Amarah? He asks and I smile at the fact that he understands immediately that I have something important to tell him.

There is something you need to know, but I need your word it won't leave this room.

I say.

Theseus and his men all swear that whatever it is I need to tell them will never be repeated outside this room and I nod my head before I start talking, As you might understand Minerva and I didnt handle Damiens rejection very well, not at all I might add.

I spent my days locked in my room and at night Minerva would run outside our borders to hunt down Rogues.

Their bodies would be found in the morning by our Warriors, but none of them ever saw Minerva at night.

---- On our second night Minerva caught a blood scent, but it didnt belong to a Rogue.

Theseus buries his nose in my neck.

I tell them what I found in the clearing and when I tell them what Asteria went through they all roar, Amarah, we will keep her safe.

We will not reveal her whereabouts to anyone, especially not my Father or Khonsu.

Ajax responds and I know her secret will be safe with them.

What are you doing, Gorgeous? I hear Xanthos ask and I see Eos typing away on her tablet, she looks up at him with a smile on her face.

Nothing much, just making sure that Asteria can finally come out of hiding.

She says and all of us stare at her, hoping for answers.noveldrama

Ever since we found Asteria I made sure we had an option to buy the clearing, just in case we ever had to and I just received confirmation from the Council that we are now the owners of the clearing between our Packs.

It kills two birds with one stone.

She says with a smirk on her face.

Apollo looks at Eos with a smile on his face and I assume he figured out what she had meant with her words, Xanthos, you have one smart Mate.

Buying the clearing for White Crescent Pack would mean that you can keep Asteria and Inti safe.

Apollo says as he looks at me.

---- to go through the process of buying the clearing anymore.

He concludes as he looks at Eos and she is nodding her head enthusiastically, 1am stunned I didn't think of buying the clearing, Asteria could have lived a normal life if I had and I tell Eos as much.

Amarah, only if we could give them a very good reason they would have considered letting us buy it and telling them it was because of Asteria wasn't an option.

Telling them you and Theseus are mated and will need the clearing to combine our Packs is an option, which won't raise any questions.

I did ask them to keep it quiet for the time being as Theseus hasn't been able to inform his family yet.

She answers.

I hear Theseus growl softly as his men all chuckle, I wish I could have been a fly on the wall yesterday.

I whisper in his ear and he bursts out in laughter, making everyone look at us.

I can tell he is mind-linking someone and I turn to Ajax when he clears his throat.

Damien and Penelope were driven to her Father's Pack with the announcement that they are not allowed to visit unless Theseus has given his permission.

He also told Damien he wouldn't let Joseph take over if he died without an heir.

He would much rather hand it over to you or Alastor, than give Damien the chance to influence Joseph.

I stare at Theseus and the look in his eyes tells me that Ajax is telling us the truth.

Thanks, but no thanks for the offer, Theseus.

Alastor blurts out and I am in stitches at ---- the look on his face.

The ding from the elevator doors pulls our attention away from Alastor and Mom grabs Delia's arm as she gets up, That will be lunch, I think we will need it to continue this conversation.

She says as they walk into the hallway.

I look at my friends with a smile on my face, this is a sight I will never tire off.
