Amelia entered the room and I couldn’t help but feel a mixture of emotions swirling within me. It had been far too long since I last spoke with her. Despite the recent discoveries hanging around me, there was a sense of familiarity and comfort in her presence that I had missed dearly.

“Hey, Amelia,” I greeted her warmly, a small smile tugging at the corners of my lips as I approached her. “It’s been too long.”

She returned my smile, her eyes lighting up with warmth as she met my gaze.

“Hey, you,” she replied softly, her voice filled with affection. “I’ve missed you.”

Taking a seat beside her, I reached out to gently take her hand in mine, relishing the familiar touch.

“I’ve missed you too,” I admitted sincerely.

Having come up with a plan in mind, I took out the speech stone, rubbing it, playing with it like it was some toy.

“So, how have you been? Anything new and exciting happening in your life?” I asked.

Amelia’s expression softened, and she met my gaze with a tender smile.

“Just the usual,” she replied, her voice gentle. “Work has been keeping me busy, but nothing too out of the ordinary. What about you? How’s everything been going on your end?”

I shrugged nonchalantly, leaning back against the couch as I relaxed into the conversation.

“Same old, same old,” I replied with a grin. “Dealing with pack duties, trying to keep everything running smoothly. You know how it is.”

Amelia nodded understandingly, her fingers tracing patterns on the surface of the speech stone.

“I do,” she agreed. “But you’re doing a great job, you know. I’m proud of you.”

A surge of warmth flooded my chest at her words, and I reached out to gently tuck a loose strand of hair behind

her ear.

“Thanks, Amelia,” I murmured softly. “That means a lot to me.”

We sat in comfortable silence for a moment, content to simply enjoy each other’s company. I noticed that since began toying with stone, Amelia’s eyes wouldn’t leave my hand and I was happy, silently hoping my plan worked.

Thankfully, it did.

Amelia’s eyes lit up with curiosity as she watched me fiddle with the speech stone, a playful smile tugging at her lips.

“What’s that?” she asked, leaning in closer to get a better look.

I chuckled softly, enjoying the light–hearted moment between us.

“Just something I came across recently,” I replied, tilting the stone to catch the light.

Amelia’s interest piqued even further, and she reached out to take the stone from my hand, turning it over in her palm.

“Wow, it’s fascinating,” she remarked, her eyes sparkling with excitement

I nodded in agreement, a smile playing at the corners of my lips. “Yeah, it’s definitely unique,” I replied, watching as Amelia inspected the stone with curiosity.”

“Where did you get it from?” she collected it from me, examining it.

“I got it from Mason. It was a gift. I uttered.

“That’s interesting,” she remarked, her curiosity piqued. “But where did Mason get it from?”

I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how much to reveal.

“He mentioned something about Athena giving it to him,” I replied carefully, watching her reaction closely.

Amelia’s brows furrowed in thought, her expression growing thoughtful.

“Athena?” she repeated and I affirmed the words. “That’s strange.” She commented and I moved closer to her, sitting down.

“What is?” I asked but she was busy examining the stone.

‘I knew it‘ she murmured in a low tone, but a bit louder to me. ‘Something is wrong!”

“Speak to me, Amelia. What’s wrong?”

“Donald, I don’t know if this is the right time to say this, but can I confide in you?”

“Of course, you can. Feel free.”

“In that case, there’s so much we need to talk about.” She said.

I nodded, my expression turning serious as I regarded her.

“I know,” I replied. “It’s been a whirlwind lately, hasn’t it?”

She nodded in agreement, my mind drifting back to the events that had unfolded in recent days.

“It certainly has,” I admitted, my thoughts turning to the mysterious circumstances surrounding Raina, Delilah, and now, Athena.

“But I’m glad we’re finally able to sit down and talk.”

Amelia reached out to grasp my hand more firmly, her touch grounding me in the moment.

“Me too,” she murmured, her gaze searching mine. “So, where do we start?”

I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the conversation ahead.

“Anywhere you want to?” I suggested, then she began.

I

“You see, there’s something off about Athena, and I think you might have some insight into what’s going on.”

First, I was shocked. Could it be that Amelia knew Athena? No wonder she made sure to leave the wedding reception when Athena arrived.

I nodded, my expression thoughtful as I considered her words.

“I’ve had my suspicions,” she said. “But I didn’t want to jump to conclusions without more information.”

I squeezed her hand reassuringly, offering her a supportive smile.

“It’s fine. One at a time.” I cooed. “So, what’s happening?”

“Okay, so…the thing is Athena, your Luna’s godmother is our Canthra Minerva. Or should I say, they look so much alike.”

Athena, resembling Canthra Minerva? It seemed almost too surreal to comprehend. My heart pounded in my chest, and a sense of unease settled over me as I tried to process her words.

“S–sure?” I ammered, my voice barely above a whisper. The mere idea of Athena being linked to such a legendary figure of our arch enemy was both intriguing and unsettling.

“Of course, I have never been sure” Amelia’s conviction only fueled my uncertainty. Her words resonated with a sense of certainty that left me feeling overwhelmed. How could she be so sure? And if she was right, what did it mean for us, for our pack?

I struggled to find the right words, my mind Ppling with the implications of Amelia’s revelation. The thought of Athena hiding such a significant aspect of the identity filled me with a sense of betrayal, yet I couldn’t shake the feeling of disbelief.

“How… how is that even possible?” I finally managed to say, my voice trembling slightly.

Amelia met my gaze with unwavering determination and concern.

“I know it sounds crazy,” she admitted. “But I’ve been doing some digging, and everything points to the same. conclusion.”

Fear, uncertainty, and a creeping sense of dread clouded my thoughts as I tried to make sense of it all. If Athena truly was Canthra Minerva, what did that mean for our pack, for our future?

As the revelation sank in, I realized that our world was about to change in ways we couldn’t begin to imagine. Then, I knew that we were on the brink of uncovering secrets that could reshape our entire reality.

“Now, seeing this here, it only makes me more suspicious.” She continued.

“Why is that?”

“You might not know this, but this is a speech stone used in our world and can only be manifested to it’s full power by someone in our world. For Athena to suddenly give Mason such treasure out of the blue, it definitely means something. I believe it is no coincidence.”

“This is huge!”

“Exactly why I have to be cautious with whom I speak to about this.” She said and I nodded

“What made you stuck before? I mean…your findings?”

“That was because Athena attended the party but when I returned to the pack, I got a legit intel that Canthra Minerva never left her room all day long.”

My mind raced with a flurry of questions and uncertainties. The revelation that Canthra Minerva had remained secluded while Athena attended the party only deepened the mystery surrounding their identities.

“How could Athena be in two places at once? How’s that possible?” I pondered aloud, the puzzle of her dual existence gnawing at my thoughts.

“I wish I had the answer,” she confessed. “But until we unravel this mystery, we can’t afford to jump to conclusions.” Amelia shook her head.

If Athena truly was connected to Canthra Minerva, then our pack was on the brink of confronting forces far beyond our comprehension.

Sensing the how huge the revelation was, I knew that we couldn’t navigate this journey alone. We needed the support and guidance of Carlyle and Sidonnie. They needed to know about for so many reasons. But I had to see Amelia’s permission first since she asked he to keep it between us.

“Amelia, we can’t keep this to ourselves,” I insisted, the weight of our discovery pressing upon me. “We need Carlyle and Sidonnie’s help to make sense of all this.”

But Amelia hesitated, her expression clouded with uncertainty. “I understand your exposing myself like that,” she admitted, her voice tinged with apprehension.

I sighed, realizing the validity of her fears. As an outsider to our pack, revealing such sensitive information posed a significant risk to her safety. Yet, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Carlyle and Sidonnie needed to be informed.

“Amelia, trust me,” I urged, meeting her gaze with unwavering determination. “Carlyle and Sidonnie need to know about this. Together, we can uncover the truth and protect our what needs to be protected.” I tried

convincing her.

“Ok, fine!” She agreed after much persuasion.
