As the day gets darker, Elli and Artemis sit and talk about the origin of the supernatural world. Elli smiles as she watches Artemis's curiosity get bigger and bigger.

"Hey pumpkin, it's getting late. You should both get some rest. I'm sure Artemis need it." Gray's voice appears in Elli's head. She looks up and sees darkness outside. Surprised by it, she gaps out loud.

"Everythin' ok, Elli?" Artemis looks at her with worry. Elli shakes her face and laughs. "Oh, I just notice it is dark outside, and our food is cold. Time flies by when you are enjoying it." Artemis looks out the window, and a look of shock adores her face. "I didn't even notice, I guess you are right. Haha."

"You should get some rest. We will talk tomorrow, we have much to discuss. Sleep well, eyeshadow." Elli hugs her and gets up to leave. Artemis smiles at Elli and waves her goodbye.

The packhouse becomes quiet as everyone gets ready for bed. The twins settle in their beds, ready to doze off. They say good night to each other and fall asleep.

"Help her." They hear in their sleep. "She needs you, help your mate." They both jump from their bed, covered in sweat. They look at each other in shock. Both are heaving out of breath. They know exactly who said it; they learned about it. Their goddess; the moon goddess, Selena.

The moon goddess guides her wolves, very few are lucky to hear her. They just entered the list. But they both wonder, what mate?! They haven't met their mate and thought they would have a separate mate. Sure, they had threesome action together, but as their parents drilled into their heads, they save their first time for their mate.

A knock on the door takes them out of the shock. "Dean, Victoria, el desayuno está listo, baja." Their mother speaks from behind their door. Their mother, alpha Lydia grew up in a Spanish house. Their father is from Spain, making the language barrier non-existing. "Ok, mamá, baja enseguida." Victoria replies.

(Dean, victoria, breakfast is ready, come down.)

(Ok, mum, be right down.)

They get ready for the day, still in a daze. They walk down to the dining hall, where all the packhouse residents eat. As they get into the dining room, they are greeted by their family's loving faces. Vincent, Arya and Hazel hug them, and their parents kiss their heads. They all sit down around the table, and chatter picks up in the dining room.

"Are you two ok? You haven't touched your food..." Arya asks, her twins and parents suddenly stop eating and look at Dean and Victoria. "Estas bien?" Their father immediately asks. "Yeah, Yeah, we are ok, it just..."

(Are you ok?)

"Something we dreamt of." Dean finishes Victoria's sentence. They look up to see their family still staring at them, waiting for them to finish. "The goddess visited us in our dream," Dean says through the link. This is something others should not know.

"Hijo, ¿qué quieres decir?" Their mum keeps her poker face up as she hears it. This is something she should treat seriously. "Ella nos dijo que ayudáramos a nuestro compañero." Victoria says, still shocked by the fact.

(Son, what do you mean?)

(She told us to help our mate.)

"Oh por Dios. Does this mean you will share a mate?" Hazle asks innocently, as she eats her food. This makes Vincent choke on his water. Feeling uncomfortable by the question, Dean and Victoria avoid their family's eyes. "Where is Elli?" They ask, trying to change the subject. She wasn't sitting at the table next to them as usual. "She went to eat in the west wing. But nice try." Their mother laughs as their faces turn red.

"Why is she eating there?" Vincent wonders out loud with a frown on his face. The twins stifle as well as their parents. "Well...She...It's...Ahh...Her friend is there..." Victoria stammers. She does not know how to answer it without raising suspicion.

"Elli has friends?!"

"Why isn't she eating with us?"

"Can we go and see her friend?"

The triplet all asks at the same time. Their parents got used to it, having to raise twins before them. Dean chuckles at Vincent's question. "Yes, Elli has friends. No, you can't see her, why? Because she is unwell and is on bed rest by doctor's orders. " Dean says to his younger siblings. Arya and Hazle pout, while Vincent whines.

"How are you all 16 and act like this? Grow up." Victoria mocks them. "Mis amores, it's time for school." The triplets sigh and whine together, "But I hate school." The twins chuckle at their whining.

The triplets kiss their parents goodbye as Elli walks into the room. She walks straight to her alphas. "Hey Elli, bye Elli." The triplets say as they leave. Elli smiles at them and turns to the alphas. "I need you..." She says. Dean and Victoria nod their head and follow Elli.

They could tell she's not grounded; her mind is not there. They are right, Elli's mind is with Sky. Both of them trying to figure out how to break the news to Artemis. She already went through so much. The last thing Elli wants is to bring her to a breaking point.

"Elli, are you ok?" Victoria asks her. She wonders why does Elli need them? They are not close, what could they possibly do to help her. "Why do you need us?" Dean asks the question. "Huh?" Elli says, not paying attention to them. "Why do you need us?" Victoria repeats.

"Well, I...I need your support while I tell this to Artemis." Elli says anxiously. The twins could hear her heartbeat; it went through the roof. "Tell her what?" The twins ask in unison. "You'll see." That is all Elli says as she enters Artemis's room.

Artemis could tell something is wrong with Elli. Nyx's abilities are showing up little by little. Artemis can hear her racing heart. Elli sits down next to Artemis's bed. She rubs her hands on her legs, as her hands are sweaty. She does not utter a word; she opens her mouth like a fish.

"Elli, spit it out already. You are making me nervous." Artemis says with concern.

"Well, I...You...There is no way Rose and Adam are your bio parents..."
