Sunlight shining through the sheer curtains, Aurelia rolled over on her double bed. Stretching her arms out, she groaned quietly, the fan above her cooling her down. Clean white walls, contrasted with the warm wooden floors. A fluffy white rug sat beneath a small coffee table, a neat pile of books sat on top with a small vanilla candle next to them. Next to the table was a white couch on wooden legs, one suitcase laid open on the cushions, the other zipped up on the floor. "Wakey wakey, Sparky! Don't make me drag your ass out of bed again!" A voice called through the house, Aurelia rolled her eyes and tried not to move. "I could practically hear your eyes roll. GET UP!" They yelled in a silly voice, making Lia hold in her laughter. "I've made pancakes." Eyebrows raised, Aurelia rolled out of bed and tugged on some shorts — already wearing an oversized t-shirt as the weather in Greece made it too uncomfortable to wear anything else. Bare feet tapping against the marble flooring of the staircase, Aurelia shivered — the cold material making her toes curl. "Here she is!"

"You're up early." Aurelia laughed, jumping onto their couch and smirking up at her housemate.

"No, you're just up late." Roman deadpanned, carrying a plate of pancakes covered in a layer of chocolate spread. "M'lady." He joked, bending down in a bow as he handed her the food.

"Thank you, kind Sir." She retorted, ruffling his fluffy brown hair. Roman sported a grey t-shirt and a pair of black shorts, his brown hair pushed back out of his blue eyes and bushy eyebrows. The boy was on the taller side, much taller than Aurelia, with wide shoulders and strong legs. Maybe he was born with it, or maybe it was due to the training and werewolf enhancements. Either way, he wasn't terrible to look at. Meanwhile, Aurelia had done some self-improvement too. Training every day had helped, the right diet made it easier to gain the muscle and lose the weight she wanted (even though she knew she didn't need to). Her hair had grown longer, gained the sun-kissed look and had gone wavy — due to spending so much time down at the beach. Her skin had cleared up, thanks to the diet and hydration schedule, and her mental health was at an all-time high. "What's today's plan?" Aurelia asked, considering they both were leaving that day.

"Well, I thought, we'd finish packing everything up and then we'll head over to Apollo's bar and say goodbye to everyone," Roman explained, Apollo's being the place Lia had been working since she arrived. "Sound good?"

"Sounds great." Lia smiled, thinking about everything she was going to miss there.

"Excited to see your friends?" Roman asked, landing in the seat next to her — holding his plate in his hand.

"You have no idea." Aurelia smiled, having not even spoken to them in almost three months — the rules of the training facility being no contact, no distractions.

"I'm excited to meet them." Roman smiled, hoping to make friends with the group he had heard so much about. Roman had lost his family (and the rest of his pack) at the age of fourteen, his parents and older sister being murdered by one of their own so he could join a rare 'Alpha pack'. This all happened whilst Roman was at a football game with his friends. He was the one to find them. His Aunt Jessie took him in and helped him through the pain. At the age of fifteen, Roman's werewolf abilities manifested and due to the trauma he had been through he became very dangerous. Dealing with the blackouts, flashbacks, a serious case of PTSD and anger issues following him around — it made life with his Aunt very difficult. So, as a result, he was sent to Greece. Where he could be trained and could be safe. "So tell me I've got this correct. You have Scott, who is the Beta. Brown hair, tan, wonky jaw." Roman started, smiling as Lia nodded with a smirk. "Lydia, the ging— strawberry blonde, genius. Then you have Allison, who was Scott's girlfriend, brunette, huntress and her father, Chris — also a hunter. Isaac, the other Beta, your twin. Curly hair, green eyes, human embodiment of a golden retriever. Noah Stilinski, the town's Sheriff, oblivious to the whole supernatural thing. Melissa, Scott's Mom. Only just found out about the supernatural, nurse." Aurelia continued to nod, proud that Roman took time to learn about the people he would soon be meeting. As he didn't have any reason to stay in Greece, Lia asked him to move to Beacon Hills. After a long conversation about it, and the saved money they both had — the pair decided that they could rent a small apartment or flat and live there together, which they successfully did online. Both would get jobs, Roman as a nurse at the hospital and Lia at the veterinary clinic as Deaton had once offered her a job, to help pay. Aurelia just dreaded telling Stiles.
