Pythia POV:
As much as I wished we could have stayed longer I knew we had to come back, especially for this. This was an important day, everyone was going to get to know each other a lot better. I am excited yet nervous about it. I made sure the Stony and Lillith as well as others would be there to help set up or whatever was needed. I wanted today to go easily so whatever we could do to help with that then that is what we will do. As we pulled back up to the house I could see tables lined up in order, one row had food and snacks while circular tables were scattered out. Each table had six chairs around them with white table sheets with lillies in vases at the center. It wasn't as decorated as I had imagined because let's face it, Tyes mom as well as the rest love to decorate over the top. Tye grabbed the bags and I followed him upstairs, I wanted to shower and clean up so that I looked at least decent. As soon as the door open
Pythia POV:Ambrosia looked at me for a moment, "I think it will be a boy." She said, "Well we will know tomorrow. I am very excited." I replied. As we walked down the stairs and I could start seeing everything I looked around stunned. "We are sorry." and "You're amazing." Balloons were everywhere. I looked around at all the girls who had big smiles on their faces. "We felt really bad about upsetting you." Chloe stated. "It was never our intention to do so." Jasmine said. "Yeah, we love you and we know that you are strong. It was just a lot to take in." Charlotte said, tilting her head down. Alley walked towards me, more like waddled, "Pythia, I can't tell you how sorry we are for making you feel that way. We just worry for you and we don't want you to get hurt." Alley spoke softly. Honestly seeing all of this really touched me. "It's okay, it was an emotional day honestly." I replied. "You know we are going to have your back no matter what. We
Tye POV:I do not like Ambrosias brother at all, the way he made me feel was not something anything good could come out of. I felt how tense Pythia was and that is very unusual for her, she has never wanted to be away from someone so badly before. We let the girls meet up with some other people and I knew Brandon would be watching them which I was thankful for. I scanned my eyes until they landed on Xander. I did not want him out of my sight."If you stare any harder you will burn a hole through him." Stephen said as he walked up. "I don't like him." I muttered. "I can tell, Alley and I will go meet him here shortly, but other than that how is everything going?" Stephen asked. "It seems to be going well. Are you aware of humans?" I asked. "Yes, I am aware. I have been making progress with the human leaders about normalizing the presence of wolves, witches and vampires. Well the good ones anyways." Stephen replied. "Good, we need
Pythia POV:Everything seems to be going smoothly and I have to admit that I am impressed with everything. "How are you feeling my dear?" Tyes mother asked as she walked towards me. "I am feeling okay momma, I'm looking forward to dinner tomorrow." I replied smiling. "I hear we will find out what you two are having tomorrow as well." She said as she rubbed my belly. "We do! I am very excited to find out. What do you think it will be?" I asked. "Hm. I think it is a boy." She replied. "How come?" I asked. "Just a feeling I get, boy or girl I will love no matter what." She replied, smiling at me. "Now don't hog her." Tyes dad said as he wrapped me up in a hug. I giggled at the deathly look she gave him, they were by far the cutest couple ever. "We are looking forward to dinner tomorrow, we haven't really been able to spend much time with you." He said, giving me a sorry look. "We have all been busy but at least w
Pythia POV: I have been obsessing over what to wear to the point it is frustrating me, I swear my belly gets bigger and bigger each day. It looks like someone stuffed a watermelon in me at this point but I can't really complain. I've had an easy pregnancy so far thank goddess but I am starting to worry about how big this baby is going to be. I mean goddess sake if it is too big what will happen? No way am I pushing out a ten pound kid. I finally decided on basic leggings and a large tank top. I needed to be comfortable because I already know momma will have so much food, but before we do anything we are going to see Julie so we can finally know what we are having. I would be fine with a boy or girl but I also know there is something about an alpha girl and it makes them special or something. If that is us then I will do more research into it and see what we need to do to prepare her. "Are you almost ready?" Tye asked from the doorway. "Yes, just let me put my shoes on." I grunted
Pythia POV: Today was the day for us to head out to meet with the elders tomorrow. Phil said that it wouldn't be that far of a drive, maybe four hours tops. I packed all of the bags and Tye went back through and double checked to make sure that I didn't miss anything. We decided that it was best that Brandon come with us just in case anything goes badly. Stephen is keeping his shield around us all still and for that I am extra grateful for. They have decided that they would show up right before anything is said as a sort of surprise for them. Since I am mated to a wolf then technically I fall halfway under their council as well. "Are we all ready?" Phil asked. "I believe we are, I need to find Brandon before we go." I replied. "He is already waiting by the car." Tye said as he walked up to us. As we walked out of the front door we were met by smiling faces, all the women and men came to see us off. "We will see you soon." Alley whispered in my ear as she gave me a tight hug. "
Pythia POV: I took one last look in the mirror before I went to meet the others. I decided on a really nice black pants suit with black flats since I was not about to walk around in heels. I curled the bottom of my hair and applied a small amount of makeup. To say I was nervous was an understatement, I took a deep breath and walked out of the large bathroom to meet the others. The men had on really nice sleek suits and Ambrosia had a dark red pants suit, it seemed like we all were thinking alike when we were figuring out what to wear. I had made my decision to help Brandon find his mate when we got back home. The man deserves that much right? I know he has been looking every chance he got but, I can see that he is losing faith. "Are we all ready?" Phil asked. "I believe we are, let's get this done and over with." I replied. As we descended down the elevator I tried to control my breathing, the questions that have been swirling in my head will be answered soon and even though I say
Pythia POV: We were not expecting to stay another night so Phil decided that we would go find a mall or something so we could get another respectful outfit and grab dinner while we were out. My mind has been racing since we got back in last night, if Alley didn't spread spirit to me then who did? Did I somehow bend the element like the book said I could? If so, how in the hell did I do it? Standing back in this room with the elders in front of us again didn't seem so intimidating with the rest standing firmly behind me. It seems like we have been standing here for hours while the elders reviewed what was handed to them. My dad and aunt didn't give anything away unlike the others who were visibly upset by what they were reading. "Where did you get all of this?" A male elder asked. "Everything we have is from the goddess herself." Alley replied easily. All at once their heads snapped up, "What do you mean they came from the goddess?" A woman asked. "There is much you do not know of
Pythia POV: I didn't feel like being inside all day so I made Tye and Brandon lay out a large blanket while I grabbed a couple snacks and Ambrosia grabbed some drinks for us. The minute she heard about what was happening she came over and inspected me herself and then came back this morning so I wouldn't get bored sitting around by myself. As we walked outside I stopped to see what the boys had done. They had an entire set up for us, the blanket I had picked out was laid out the way I wanted to but I see they added what they wanted as well, they placed umbrellas like you see at a pool at each corner so that we would be shaded, they also put cute little lawn chairs down for us to sit in. "I figured this would be more comfortable for you both." Tye said as he walked up to us. "It is absolutely perfect. Thank you so much." I replied, smiling at him. This was the perfect set up for what Ambrosia and I were going to try to accomplish today. As we sat down Tye, Brandon and Jackson sat
