Bronte calls Ares, Apollo, and Atlas outside on the patios as soon as he, Marigold, and Keenen return home. He told them that his mate and her son are clear Kaimana. Now they don't have to worry about anything. After Geinerra, he didn't know if he wanted another mate. That is, until he smelt Marigold's scent. Now they have a brother whom they need to treat well.
Ares tells their father he has already had Keenen and Marigold's belongings brought to the house. Keenen must live in the main house also, since he's their brother.
Atlas suggests that they refer to Keenen, Alpha Keene,n and also he uses their last names.
Apollo agrees and says that way no one will misinterpret that Keenen isn't part of their family.
Bronte tells the triplets how proud he is of them. Thank them for accepting his mate and Keenen. He also says that Namakaeha, Jason, Josuah, Boon, Wystan, Dakin, and Sean will be joining them. He's not only celebrating his birthday but also the next chapter in his life.
Apollo said that he needed to go because he had promised his mate he would carry the laundry upstairs. He didn't want her carrying those heavy baskets.
"Son, before you go, I have something to say. "It wasn't meant for you all to be Kaimana's mate. Everyone is with whom they are supposed to be with." Bronte looks at the dungeon whe they had imprisoned Ginerra. "Too bad I didn't know about her sooner. No sense of dwelling on that now."
Atlas assures their father that they're happy with Farcella being their mate. They realized that Kaimana and Shemar mated; they weren't the ones for Kaimana, but their egos refused to let go and walk away. That was until the night she told them how cruel they were to her.
"We only wish the best for Kaimana and Shemar. Garcella has arranged to have a gift sent over for their son." Ares looks at the door that someone is knocking on. He smiles when he smells their mate. "Apollo, you'd better hurry up before you upset our mate."
Apollo rushes to the door, opens it, and swoops Garcello up, putting her over his shoulder.

"So, since Emrys 's birth, the teleporting has been my doing." Shemar looks up at Kaimana. "I'm not a witch, warlock, or a Hybrid or any other brid. So how can I have powers?"
Kaimana looks at her mother for some help because she doesn't know what is happening. All she knows is that her mate/husband is gaining powers since the birth of their son.
Her mother shrugs her shoulders, wondering how much longer it be before Namakasha returns. Last night, they decided instead of visiting their friends, they would go to the one person they knew would have the answers. Namakeshe said he was tired of trying to figure things out. He doesn't know how much time they had before someone would try to kidnap or kill their grandson.
We don't know all the answers yet. But we will." Kaimana's still looking at her mother.
Namakaeha appears in the middle of the room, staring at Shemar. He rubs his chin, looks at Kaimana and Emrys. "Son, it's a good thing you're sitting down. Kai, you may want to join your husband."
"This must be worse than I thought." Malea mumbles, looking at Shemar and Kaimana, worried.
Boon tells her to hear Namakaesha out first.
Moon leans close to Alika. "Is Shemar turning evil?"
Alika looks at her, shakes his head ."No, sweetheart, he isn't."
"Good, I've heard sometimes when things happen to change people before they flip out or become evil," Moon whispers, looking at Shemar, who is staring at her.
"She's still going to take a while to get used to. Father, continue." Shamar's still starting at Moon.
Kaimana kissed his cheek. "You can't say I didn't warn you. There are days when I'm still trying." She chuckles.
Lalani and Alessio laugh at Moon.
Moon looks at Kaimana and frowns with her hands on her hips.
"Let me start by saying I wasn't expecting all of this. I went to see who was coming after Emrys. I didn't want us to be blindsided. Shlioh and knew one person who knew everything. That would be Pythia. She's the high priestess of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. Most people know her as the Oracle Delpha. Shemar, from what my mate told me while I was gone, you have come into some powers. From what I just learn that's to be expected. Be ready for a hell of a lot more." Namakaesha points to Shemar. "Kaimana was thinking on the right track. All of this is related to an ancient prophecy. " He looks at Malea. "When Shemar was young, were you ever visited by a witch?"
"Yes, it was right after Wystan left. Shemar became ill. The pack's doctors couldn't find out the reason. My mother said she thought someone had hexed him. I don't recall the woman's name. She said that Shemar had been hexed, but since he was special, he couldn't die. I didn't bother to ask what she meant by special. I asked if she could take away his pain. She said yes, and before I knew, she touched his heart, and he was healed." What does that have to do with Shemar's having powers?" Malea asks Namakaesha.
Shemar looks at his mother. This is the first time he heard of this. He doesn't remember ever being sick.
"That woman was a witch. Zillah Bryant. Yep, the witch of Btyant woods." He looks at Kaimana,"Your Banshee. You and she are connected through your mate."
Kaimana looks at Shemar. He shook his head, " Nani, I don't know that woman."
Namakaeha laughs, "True, he doesn't know her. Zillah was an ancient immortal with remarkable healing skills. That day, when she went to heal him, she recognized Shamar, and the touch on his chest gave him immortality. Zillah was also an immortal; she died at the hands of an immortal who led a witch hunt. But Zillah was the target. She was beheaded and burnt at the stake along with her family. "
Okay, I'm with you, so far. But that still doesn't explain my powers or the powers you said I'll have later. " Shemar is shaking a gold rattle at Emrys.
"Now it's beginning to make sense about her." Kaimana gives Emrys to Shemar. "Father, you mentioned I was on track. Are you saying that Shemar is receiving powers from Emrys and me? This all has something to do with a prophecy."
Her father nods "yes" while listening to Alessio asking if the Oracle mentioned who was coming after Emrys. Namakaeha "Too many to say. There are a lot of bastards who would love to get their hands on my grandson. They assume since he's the youngest of the three that he would be easier to convince to do evil."
"You're lucky. Now we know for sure we don't have to kill you." Moon says to Shemar
Shemar ignores her and goes on a cursing spree, threatening to kill anyone who comes after his son. He doesn't care who the hell they are, friend or foe; they're dead.
"Babe, can you calm down long enough for Father to tell us if he knows who the other two powerful kids are and where we can find them?" Kaimana is rubbing Shemar's back. "Emrys, help me calm your father down before he has a stroke."
Emrys cooes and softly growls, he's looking up at his father
Shemar points to his son. "He frowled. Nani, our son, has a little growl. That's my boy. Okay, Father, where do we need to go? "
"That's the best part. We don't have to go anywhere." Namakaeha smiles. "Nowhere at all."
Everyone in the room is staring at Namakaehe, waiting to hear who the other two are.
He points to Kaimana and Shemar. '"It's you three. You're the powerful ones."
