power of the Gods and generate her own fire.”

“Wow! Your pups will certainly be something special! It's like super wolves in the making.” Niko said to Raven.

“With Dimitri being a descendant of King Lycaon and elemental, it looks like the prophecy is coming to life. I’m sure Aunt Lucy see's this.” Clair said.

“Prophecy?” Niko asked and gave me a raised eyebrow look.

“I think my Aunt should explain it. It was before we were even born.” Clair said.

I mind linked Dumas to send two carts up to get the luggage and we all shifted to run back to the pack house. Niko opened the double doors and Dom trotted down the hall to our suite to shift and change. I slipped on some linen pants and a black short sleeve button up shirt, then went to join the others.

“Should we go look for them?” Raven asked Knox anxiously.

“No, I linked mom already. Dad is just cooling down a bit. I left some clothes for them on the back veranda.” Knox said.

Elaina served us refreshments, chilled glasses of ouzo lemonade and meze appetizers. Niko reached for a small saganaki fried cheese square and popped it in his mouth without checking to see if it was cooled enough yet. “OWWWWW! HOT, HOT, HOT!” He danced around like a fool, fanning his open mouth with his hand and reached for a glass of lemonade to chug down. The girls burst into laughter at him.

We continued to sit and wait for Raven's parents to return. Raven and Clair told Rocky all about Crescent Moon. Two hours later, I heard some movement outside and sensed a strong aura. I walked over to the double doors that went out to the veranda and came face to face with Raven's mother.

“Hello Luna.” I nodded my head.

“Good evening Alpha. My mate and I have just been out admiring your beautiful island.” She responded.

“Thank you. Your belongings have been taken to the guest suite. It would be an honor to have you and Alpha LaRue join us for dinner, but if you would prefer a quiet dinner in your suite, we can arrange for that. I understand you may be fatigued from all the traveling.”

“That's very kind of you.” She smiled at me.

I could sense Diesel was still in wolf form just beyond the trees, he was listening to us. “My mate is anxious, and it troubles me. I understand you may have some preconceived notions about me, Alpha, and I hope to have the opportunity to set things right with you.” I said and the black wolf stepped out of the shadows.

He stalked towards me and I could feel his angry aura radiating. He stopped next to his mate and bared his teeth at me. Obviously still upset. Lucy reached over and placed her hand on his back to calm him. We stood for a few moments staring into each other's eyes. Raven had the same blue eyes and dark shiny fur as her father.

“Alpha, I'm not going to apologize for loving my mate or reject what the Moon Goddess has done.” I said. Diesel growled at me and looked like he wanted to attack, but his mate was obviously holding him back and mind linking with him.

“Kosta was right, there are greater forces at work here. I'd like to hear about your prophecy and share with you the prophecy I also received many years ago.” I told them, this seemed to get Alpha LaRue’s attention.

“Prophecy?” Lucy asked.

“Yes Luna. The Greeks have long believed that an Oracle of the Gods still exists, the most notable Oracle of our time is Ms. Alexis Ivy, who was a friend of my mother's.” I told her and noticed the sharp inhale of breath when I mentioned the Alpha's cousin.

“Please, come in. Your daughter wants to see you and I don’t like seeing my mate upset. We also need to talk." I bowed my head and stepped back inside.

 Twenty minutes later, Elaina and the kitchen staff started setting up dinner. We left the living room and took our seats at the round table. Alpha Diesel and Luna Lucy walked into the room holding hands. “Mom, Dad!” Raven said and quickly moved to her parents for an embrace. I could feel her happiness which brought a smile to my face.

“At least he's not trying to rip your head off.” Niko mind linked me laughing. Platters of grilled lobster tails, Greek muscles, fried fish, potatoes, saffron rice, zucchini, cucumber and tomato salad, were set on the table.

“Wow, those lobsters are huge!” Knox said.

“That's because they're Greek.” Niko smiled at him.

“This looks wonderful, thank you Alpha.” Lucy said.

“Kali orexi!” I raised my glass to start the meal. Dinner went surprisingly well; Diesel didn't say much but Lucy seemed particularly interested in the olive business of the pack. She inquired about the ancient olive trees and the special reserve of fine olive oils they produced. She enjoyed cooking and was familiar with our premium and fine labels of oil.

“And the revenue from the family business, it generates enough income to sustain your pack's needs?” Diesel asked.

“I admit our humble little business is dwarfed when compared to the LaRue Enterprises empire Alpha. However, the table olive exports, for consumption, generate nearly twenty million euros in profits annually. Our olive oil labels, which hit the global market seven years ago, generate nearly twice as much.”

“And your labor? Pack members or slaves?” He asked.

“Neither. The pack members who choose to live on the islands we own, caring for the groves, are also paid. The employees who work at our two large processing facilities and warehouses are well paid humans
