(A/N I know the past couple of chapters have been a bit short, but due to copious begging and threats from my friends this chapter is going to be a longer one, so don't kill me :) )

Iris' Point of View Continued..
I walked into my room to see Ginger alert and propped up against some pillows, she had been dressed in a white summer dress and was holding Tyler's hand and speaking to Melina animatedly. As I walked in she stopped talking and every eye in the room trained on me. Luke squeezed my hand and they stared for a minute before I spoke,
"Melina can you and Tyler leave us? Maybe find him a room and introduce him to some of the pack members?" I asked, getting the hint Melina stood and walked over to the door, looking at Tyler expectantly. Tyler shook his head,
"If its all the same to you Luna I would like to stay here." He stated without looking at me.
"You will go as you were asked." Luke said with menace dripping into his steady voice. Tyler turned his head and his eyes locked onto Luke's, testosterone filled the air like a noxious gas. I squeezed Luke's hand but he did not waver as his blue eyes bored into Tyler's black ones. Suddenly the door opened and Cecelia traipsed in with someone that I did not know hot on her heels. It was an old woman with a wrinkle lined face and sharp eyes. She looked like a Cherokee medicine woman from the old days. She looked up at me then her eyes flickered to Ginger then Melina then up towards Cecelia.
"Where is the little one?" She asked Cecelia and I spoke up,
"Do you mean Alice?" I asked and Luke chimed in
"Knowing her she is either in the kitchen, in her room, or in one of the other elders rooms." I looked up at him confusedly, 'other elders? Did that mean that I was in the presence of one of the elders? Out of the corner of my eye Luke nodded as Cecelia left the room in search of Alice.
'She is an elder woman, why Cecelia brought her I will never know.' The words flashed through my mind in Luke's voice and my suspicions were confirmed. Was she here to answer my questions? He nodded minutely again.
"Did someone call for me? Oh hello Bhavya! How are you? A pleasure to see you as always." Alice bowed respectfully to Bhavya and the old woman smiled, when she did her face relaxed and I could see her beauty more clearly. Though she was old she had a timeless sense of power that rang from her every facet. Her browned skin was wrinkled, her brown eyes were an almond shape and her long gray hair was braided in two braids that laid against her back, she was short but she stood straight and tall and with her chin lifted defiantly as if daring someone to try to take advantage of her. I respected this woman not only because she was and elder but for her attitude and poise.
"I was actually here to retrieve you all, Balavan has heard about this one," She gestured to Ginger and I stiffened, what could he want with us? "And he would like you to sit council with us tonight and hear some things you all must hear." She continued and this made me relax, I would get answers.
"Okay, I will go," Alice said and Bhavya's old face lit up.
"Will the rest of you attend?" Bhavya asked the rest of us and I nodded.
"It would be a pleasure." Luke said
"I'm in," Chimed Melina
"Me too," Daniels surfer voice rang across the room. I turned to Ginger who gestured to Tyler and raised her eyebrow in question.
