Rhys P.O.V

"And now we will hear from Alpha Rhys."

I walked up to the podium, can't believe I am at my wife's funeral. Bet the moongoddess is laughing at me now.

I cleared my throat as I looked down to the paper I have prepared read out loud, but the words just don't seem to reach my mind or mouth as my eyes begin to blur.

I cough, "uhhm" I look at all the faces that are left of our Pack, I look at Iris's parents who I have known for most of my life, I've known everyone here actually all my life. God were they proud the day I finally became Alpha, but they were even more proud the day Iris and I finally did the ceremony that an Alpha and Luna do.

That day feels like yesterday, yet it's so far off and no we are all gathered in an professional manner, but in the worse scenario.

And what makes it even more horrible is some people were out on business or other occasions and they returned to loved ones dead.

We've had all the funerals already, I have been holding this one off. But now its here and I feel frozen.

"Iris...she, well uhmm I-" I sniffed and wiped my eyes.

Beckett came behind me and placed his hand on my back.

You got this

I nodded.

"She didn't deserve this, not this fate and not with our kid growing within her. She was the love of my life and the moongoddess took her too soon and I could stand here for hours exhaling how great she was, but you and I both know that's not what she would've wanted, she would've wanted us to celebrate her for who she was and who she Is is someone who wouldn't have wanted us to talk your ears off." I paused. "But we will avenge her, the person-the person who did this is someone we all used to trust and love. Scott Riddle returns for the revenge he was seeking, but he will not get away with this! He will not get away with killing the kindest soul who would've been a great mother, because she is loveable, was uhhm she was loveable and she is watching from above ready to protect us"

Handon our pack messenger came forward and whispered in my ear.

"Sir our allies from the South has just been attacked...it seems by Scott as well and he had help."

My eyes widened, this was no longer a funeral, it was now a pack meeting.

"Okay I am assuming you all heard that?"

Everyone nodded.

"Okay Handon, who did he have help from?"

Handon swallowed, I haven't seen him this nervous since well ever.

Although my grandfather told me a story of the last time anyone saw Handon this nervous.

Now you all probably confused and wondering why the hell Handon is still alive or something.

Well werewolves were given so many different perceptions over the years from movies, well they all wrong.

You see we can live for years, a werewolf stops aging at 20 and can live forever really unless you know they killed. It was something the moongoddess ensured when she realised how fast we were being killed off by another creature that lives forever and that is well harder to kill.

Anyway Handon hasn't been this nervous since the time of our deepest foes, our brethren that were turned evil.

"Sir, he was helped from Zeita soarelui."

My eyes widened, the sun goddess.
She is a secret that only Alpha's and Beta's in every pack know of.

She was buried just like the Vampires themselves, ever since the treaty of them staying off our lands and the wars of course. They vanished, but swore one day their revenge would come.

And now those lunatics have befriended Scott.

The time of Vampires are rising.

"Are you sure?"

Handon gave me the most sinister look he has ever given anyone in my day of age. "Alpha, I have never been more serious in my entire life, I have fought many wars involving this particular Goddess and many with her children, I have seen all the bloodshed any soul could possibly see, I have received and delivered messages from both sides of the coins, until the one side fell silent. And I feared the day I would live to see their debut back. And now it has come and the Pack's all over should he informed."

He then placed his hand on my shoulder, "And every single Rogue we can find, Those many years ago when they told me, the messenger that they would return." He then looked as uncomfortable as any soul could ever look. "These exact words were used...At dawn one day we shall return, a first strike shall be an attack on you, the second shall be a visit from our Zeita soarelui, a third shall be a prophecy set in stone, a fourth shall be another death dearest to all, and a fifth will occur once the child is old."

I must of looked confused because then Handon shook me. "The first two parts have been completed Alpha, next is a prophecy none of us know beginning and then someone else will die, and we have no idea what child this is, so we have no timeline for the final wave."

I nodded and looked to the pack, "I can't say much accept it's time for a secret to be revealed, Vampires were never killed and now it seems they are finally returning and we have no means to protect ourselves as we can't even understand this prophecy." Everyone looked concerned and frightened and they should be. "Fear not, we will figure it out, but for now we should help our allies and bring the attacked Pack to us as it would be safer and a wise move to make."

I took out my phone and made the call. "Jackson."

"Rhys?"

"We heard you guys were attacked and we offer you refuge."

"Thanks Rhys but-"

"Can we please skip the pride Alpha act we have more serious matters to deal with, such as our blood suckered friends have returned and we need an Alpha meeting."

Jackson was silent for long.

"Yeah, an elder recognized her."

"So she really was there huh?"

"Yeah, see you soon we will talk then."

I then hung up and got ready to call all the other Alpha's even Liv if she will dare pick up.

I decide to start with her.

Ring ring ring

"What do you want Rhys? We agreed you wouldn't call me?"

"Their back Liv."

"You're kidding me right?"

I shook my head only to remember I am talking to her over the phone. "Yes, I am calling all the Alphas and that includes your not Pack leader technically known as an Alpha."

I could practically hear her roll her eyes. "So what's the plan?"

"I don't know, just thought you should know, we already taking in one Pack that was attacked by The Goddess herself."

She gasped. "That sun blood loving bitch showed herself?"

"Yes she did."

"The Prophecy..."

"Wait you know about it? Because I only found out about it today?"

"There's much you don't know about me."

I rolled my eyes, "please, I know my crazy Aunt well enough."

I heard a voice in the background. She said something like a sun goddess I saw her, she taunt-

Her voice sounds so beautiful. Well that's a stranger thought.

"Listen Rhys I got to go." She then ended the call.
