Aria's P.O.V

"Alright, guys. Training dismissed." I said to the young pups in front of me, some panting, but that's because their new to this type of training, and most are sweating a little. Me, I don't sweat at all now. Not after 3 years of heavy training with Andrew. It'll take a great deal of time and REALLY hard work to make me sweat a little. "Great training today Ari." Said Declan. Yeah, they gave me a new nick name. Cool, huh. "Yeah, you better shower Andrew, you stink!" I said to Andrew while waving my hand in front of my face. "Last time I checked, Aria, I'm not a dog you can boss around!" He said and he turned off towed the pack house. "Don't be to sure about that." I whisper. "I heard that!" He yelled back, "You were meant to!" I yelled back. He still hasn't found his mate yet, but he's fine with it, he has me around still. To harass him, that is.

The past 4 years have been great for me. I'm much more cheerful, playful, and if you ask Andrew and my friends, they would say, stubborn, annoying, stuff like. But I don't care, I'm happy and Sapphire is happy, but she still wants your mate. "How's your day been so far, Aria?" Asked Declan as we made our way towards the his office. Before training today, he called a meeting with Andrew, Matthew, Zena, Declan's sister, Winter, Declan's mate, Ian, Michael, Max and his mate Ams. I learned shorty after being accepted in the White Warrior pack, that it was Matthew, Michael, Max, Amy and Ian that found us that day.

Anyway, Declan said that there was going to be a meeting after training today, everyone has gone to take a quick shower, all except me that is. "Fine so far D, yours?" I ask in return, siting down in one of the many chairs in his office. "Tiring, there's something we need to handle, but I'll wait for the others first before I start explaining." He said, "Okay, I won't push it!" I said.

We continue small talk, until everyone is here. "Alright guys, we got a small problem!" Declan started off. "What of problem, Declan?!" Asked Zena. I made very good friends with her, Winter and Amy. We clicked also instantly. "A rouge problem. Apparently, theirs a pack of them. It's small enough to go unnoticed, but large enough to infected large amount of damage." He answered her question. "Is it the Red Warrior descendants doing?" I asked. For the past year, we've been looking for the blood line of the rouge Red Warrior descendants, but to come up short. "Not sure, but these rouge are smart enough, to not to come here. And we've been asked for help to train one of the southern packs. That's where the rouge pack is at, at the moment." He continued on. "Which Southern pack, Declan?" Asked Ian. Declan replied while looking at Andrew and I, expectedly, "Blood Moon!" The whole room went up in growls, shouts and arguments.

I look at Drew, 'What do we do?' I asked him through the mind link. 'I don't know, you said that the Moon Goddess said that you'll know when the right time to go back is, is it that time?' He asked. A few weeks after I came out of the 'trance' I had. I felt an unknown person enter my mind link.

****FLASH BACK****

Just sitting around and doing homework, I felt a another person enter my mind link. I immediately said, 'Who's there and what do you want?!' I said sternly. 'Well, is that a way to treat your Goddess, Hun.' The Moon Goddess, or Rose as I remember her telling me. I literarily fell from my chair and on to the floor. 'Rose?' I replied, 'Yes, Hun. I said I will talk too you soon.' She said. 'Anyway, I'll get to the point, I forgot to add to our little conversation before, that'll you know when you need to go back to Blood Moon.' She continued before I could say anything. 'Yeah, if you call that little conversation of ours 'little'.' I said cheekily.

'Yeah, well, I didn't won't you to worry about Andrew!' She defended herself. 'It's okay, is there anything else?' I asked. 'Not that I can think of, but if I think of something, I'll tell you! Talk to later, Hun.' She said but asked quickly, 'Rose, when you do talk to me next, PLEASE give me some kind of a warning!' I joked. She chuckled and shut off the link.

And I went to tell the others.

****END OF FLASH BACK****

I was brought back to reality with more shouting and yelling, and I see Andrew has joined in to. I got up, stood on my chair, brought my fore finger and my thumb to my mouth, and brew my killer whistle. The whole room fell silent again. "Thank god, silence." I said. "Okay, first things first, who's going and how long?" I asked Declan, getting down from the chair.

"Everyone in this room is going, that is if you and Andrew decide to go, and for how long, I don't know, we don't know what their fighting level is?" He replied. "Last time we checked, it was poor!" Andrew dead panned. We all heard groans. "So, your saying is that, we could spend months, years even training that bloody pack!" Replied Winter, she hated long trips. "Yep." He said while popping the 'p'. "Hopefully, that 'poor' level would have gone up to some extent when Andrew and I left." I stated. "Next question, when are supposed to leave?" Asked Max, "Saturday at 10 am sharp. We should be there by 1 o'clock by car." Declan replied. "So, will you be going Aria? Cause I know Andrew won't go without you, so there's no point in asking him!" Declan said cheekily.

I thought about what Rose said, and felt within me that it was time. I looked at Drew and nodded once, he nodded back. "Yeah, we're coming!" I said. Declan sighed in relief. While Winter said "Are you sure, we don't won't them treating you like they did the last time! You almost died, because of them!" And the others agreed.

"I know you don't! But this time I'll have you guys there with me!" I said. After that, they reluctantly agreed. Then Declan called this meeting at an end, he called a pack meeting tomorrow. To announce us that we are leaving for a couple of week to months tops. The pack was not happy that we were leaving but didn't argue.

Soon it was Saturday. I didn't want to get up, but I did because Andrew wouldn't leave me the ALONE. "Wake up sun shine, it's 9 in the mourning. You better get ready." He yelled in my ear. OH, HE'S SO DEAD! "Andrew?" I said calmly "Hmmm" "YOUR DEAD MEAT!!!" I said not so calmly. He ran out of the room. I just laughed. Got up, got ready, had breakfast, by the time I was ready it was 10:25. I lugged my bags down stairs and put them in my white Aston Martin one-77. I turned towards the rest of the group. When suddenly an idea hit me. I called over the rest of the group. "Okay, when we there, Blood Moon properly won't recognise Andrew or I, so just for fun, we'll have fake names, any suggestions?" I asked them. "Okay, how about Evelyn for you Aria and Seth for Andrew." Suggested Matthew. "Evelyn and Seth, I like it. We'll still be still twins though, okay!" I said. I got a whole bunch of okays. We got into our cars and head off.

Let the games begin Blood Moon!
