We drove for 2 hours. Then we pulled into a small train yard. "I will have an escort team take you to the  passenger car. I turn and give him a puzzled look, "The only way to the council's territory is the train or wolf form. Though we have had a few humans  over the years stumble into our territory and had to be guided out." He then looks at my parents and Alpha whom has just walked over to the car I was in. "I will arrange for your luggage to be transferred to the train now join your parents and alpha."

"Thank you, Sir," I climb out of the vehicle and look at my parents, "I did not realize this is the only way to come here."

Alpha looks at me and said, "this train runs when they restock supplies or when guest come with stuff. Now follow me." He took us to a passenger vehicle. We settle down in our seats and waited for the train to pull out.

I did take pictures of the view from the train and when we went around a bend in the road I gasped.

I sent the picture to family and Penny, "we are just arriving."

When the train pulled up there were actually horse driven wagons for our luggage and a carriage for us to ride in. We were driven into the courtyard and there was two wolves waiting for us. He nodded his head in respect at us, "Alpha, I am Daniel Dillion and this is my mate, Jean," he points to her. "We have been assigned  as your secretary, planner and escort. It will be our job to make sure you and your pack make every appointment on time. You will have to go through either my mate or I for schedules. Each morning you will be woken up between 6:00-6:30am and be given a schedule. Our number is at the top of each schedule and you are to call and inform us of any schedule changes. If you do not do that then the council will place an ankle bracelet on you that will show where you are 24x7. This afternoon schedule is simple. Between now and 7:00 you will be in your rooms unpacking and settling in. You will be able to move and visit between each other's rooms. Miss Swift at 6:00 the council doctor will come and examine you. Between 7:00-7:45 you will get ready for supper. Councilman Carrol has invited you all to his suite  for 8:00pm private supper."

He turns and starts to walk inside, "come on we don't have all day. We have a schedule to keep." Mom, Dad and Alpha all growled at Daniel. He stopped and turned toward them, "this is your freebie. You are in council grounds and will adhere by their rules. If I am on your territory I will listen and submit, but you are now on council territory so you will follow my directions.  My way will keep you out of trouble with the council. If you don't like it do talk to Councilmen Carrol tonight and he will tell you my goal and the elite goal is to keep you safe. You have one powerful enemy right now and you don't need to make council two." He starts to walk away."

"Mr. Dillion?," I ask in a shakey voice.

He stops walking. He turns around and walks up to me. "Yes, Ashley?"

"Has Jace become my enemy? I have always considered myself strong, but since he raped me I have felt weak and scared. Now that I am carrying his pups- I should hate them, but I cannot. Does he want to hurt my pups?" I take a deep breath and blow it out. In a stronger voice, "I will protect these pups and he will be the one dead. I promise you that."

"This isn't the place for this conversation. The walls might have ears. But will say under my watch, my mates, elite, your pack members and yours they will be safe. Follow me and we will talk in a safe place." Once again he starts to walk inside. We all follow him this time without growls or questions.

We walk and take elevator to the 6th floor.  Jean says, "your group will have the lake and mountain view with a beautiful sunset. Each room has their own restroom and closet. I have the maids unpacking all your luggage right now. Normally we would give you free time, but I think we need to talk first." We follow her and her mate to a room with a desk in front.

I see the elite guard whom drove me here sitting there. When we get closer I look again, "who are you?"

He smiles and says, "Ms. Swift, we spent 2 hours in a car and I did not introduce myself?"

I look at Daniel and says, "who is the imposter?"

Daniel and the guy at the desk drag me into the room. My parents and pack leader follow. The guy at the desk growls,  "who told you? How did you know? I have been here 15 years and only Carrol, Dillions and other Elite know."

"You mean no one can tell your an imposter?," I asked.

Alpha Jason steps in front of me and dad steps in front of mom. Dad growls, "you will let go of my daughter's arm now."

Alpha said, "you might be Elite, but I will throw you out the window if you do not unhand my pack member."

A man from the doorway replies, "Daniel and 'A' let her go. Everyone sit down and calm down."

We all turn toward the door. They let go of my arm. I notice Alpha Jason, mom and dad bow their heads.  While I just stand there staring at him. He looks me in the eye, "why didn't you submit?"

I then submit and whisper, "your power stunned me sir. Please forgive me."

"Nothen to forgive. Your not the first one I have done that too. Now please have a seat. Off the record I will say Alpha Jace is more foolish that I thought for rejecting you."  I felt my face blush.

"Yes, he was. Because he will not get to know his pups."

"I said that because you my dear are stronger than his mate. You have alpha power emerging in you."

"I just have Beta power sir. Are you reading my pups?"

"Jason, did you never pick up she has alpha power?"

Alpha Jason replied, "I knew she was powerful. Which is why she is in charge of she-wolf training. But I never looked for any power beyond Beta since her dad is Beta. But since the night we were at Ozland Pack she has become more powerful."

Mom replies, "but my great, great grandma was a daughter of an Alpha and her mate was a Beta."

"That must me it. You don't have the physical strength of an Alpha, but you have several of the other qualities of one. Plus you are a mate of an Alpha. You carry the Luna power too. Yes, you are interesting child. How did you figure 'A' was not your driver?"

"His nose is slightly slimmer and he just felt different."

'A' spoke up, "this is one secret that has never been shared. The secret of why the Elite is so powerful a group. All Elite members are identical twins and triplets. There are only minimum of 52 of us at any given time. Your saying I have a slimmer nose and just felt different than my brother. Incredible. Even our parents mixed us up growing up."

Councilman Carol commands, "no one is to ever tell anyone this. This is a heavily guarded secret. Only those who are lead councilman or been part of the Elite has known."

We all look at him and say, "yes sir."

Daniel speaks, "Sir, they don't know. I think they need to know."

"I agree, and 'A' you can inform them, but I will leave. This way if questioned I can honestly say I did not inform them." Councilman Carrol turns toward the door and walks toward. He grabs the handle and says as he opens the door, "I will see you at 8:00 sharp for dinner." Then he departs.

We all turned to him. I ask, "your name is 'A' what is your brother's name?"

"In the Elite we all just go by alphabetical letters. My brother and I are bother called 'A'. Our true names are Aspen and Atlas. Who knows maybe your twins will one be Elites if they are identical. Daniel use to be an elite until he retired. His brother, Donald  retired and joined his mate's pack. They both were known as 'D' and his mate was 'J'. His mate is Jean's sister, Jane. He is the only one who retired and stayed here.  This is how we do a lot of undercover work. One of us stays very visible and the other can go incognito. This has been the Elite system for about 200 years now."

Alpha Jason said, "ok enough chit chat. Downstairs you mention walls have ears when Ashley asked about Jace being our enemy and wanting to hurt her pups.  Then just now councilman Carrol said about we did need to know. What the hell is going on?"

'A' replied, "you know about the claim about Ashley. You know he was removed as Alpha from his pack, Ravenclaw. What you don't know there were about 2 dozen families who went with him to Bluemoon Pack. The Ravenclaw lost about 1/4 of their pack.

Bluemoon Alpha did not have a son. He has 9 daughters. His oldest is Mackenzie. She was determined to find an alpha to mate. She met Jace while he was overseas training and supposedly looking for his mate. They had an affair. He wanted an Alpha daughter. Their plan was for them to meet up for the "first time" at that party you went too. What they had not anticipated was finding their true mates then. Mackenzie thought she could keep her mate dangling until his brother implemented their mate plan. When he yelled mate and went running it was his wolf who took control. His mate was angry he found a mate, but still could not stop partially claiming you.

Well after you passed out from the rough sex apparently she came in and lured him to her room. We are not sure how she was able to do that yet. Where they went ahead as you know marked each other. Her dad was pleased and declared him his heir. Plus he was happy to hear that Jace had a trust.  Bluemoon is close to broke. He had even set up an auction for his other daughters with a rogue group.  The starting bid is $5,000,000 per daughters once daughter is proven a virgin and carries the Alpha gene.  Their pack goes by ancient law of the European Packs that has not been overturned because it was a forgotten law.

If he wins this case which they will fight dirty to win. They have claim you had your older brother drug him and he felt the pull toward you, but after his wild sex with you. The drug wore off and he could smell his true mate. That is why he claimed her and not you that night.

He also has plans to offer a pack for those rogue to join and they will have enough to take over his old pack. If those 3 end up merged together they will become a very strong pack full of evil. Then we believe they will go after other packs.

Luna Mackenzie has also found out she is pregnant. She wants your pups dead because if they are born first they will carry his alpha gene even if you have girls and she has a boy because in Ravenclaw pack he was raised in the oldest pup wether girl or boy carries the alpha gene. Though his pack has only ever had one female alpha but as soon as she mates her power transferred over to her mate and went to her first child. Since your having twins if fraternal the power goes to the oldest but if identical it will be shared equally. Twins usually comes early and she cannot have that happen. She is a power hungry bitch.

Which is why we have some elite that stayed with your pack and some members are spying on Blue moon. We even called upon the Royal Lycan pack who does true justice to send reinforcements to Ravenclaw and your pack. If war happens it will be old ways verses modern laws."

We all stood there stunned staring at Daniel when he stopped talking. Jean then says  "Dan did not mention this but this room is the safe room. If any alarm goes off you come here. This room also has a bug detector. If someone  would plant a device on you it will be picked up as you enter. This room is the only room you talk in about trial stuff, war stuff, basically anything you don't want known.  We sweep the rooms randomly and before you arrived we found 1-2 devices in each room. So outside this room we need airhead type talk.  When you go to councilman Carrol's suite tonight, will give heads up, we expect your mate to show up with his party. Which the councilman did invite him to dinner tomorrow night so he is not showing favoritism, but you do have his support. He will not be a rude enough host to kick him out. He will have appetizers set up in the lounge, but the dinner will just be your group."

The maids who unpacked your stuff should of pressed and laid out an outfit for you to wear to his place. Best go get showered and prepared. Ashley because of this meeting I have changed your doctor visit to tomorrow morning at 7:00am just before we will escort you to breakfast."

I looked at her and said, "I will not be available at that time."

She glared and said, "and where will you be?"

"You said wake up will be at 6:00am. The last three mornings I have spent the first hour or two puking. If he has anything for morning sickness I will appreciate it otherwise not to show up until I am able to depart."

"He will be there at 7:00 and will tell him to bring something for morning sickness. I will make sure to accommodate this in your schedule. Anything else I need to know."

"Yes, can you make sure I have some flat ginger ale and ginger snap cookies available to nibble on during that time. I know that afterwards I will shower and get dressed and  want a large breakfast. Please include cinnamon rolls and Orange Crush Soda. "

"Ok, I have noted that to your schedule. I will have a nurse going to your wake up call to help you doing this time. Now everyone go get ready. The councilman hates anyone to be late."

We all turn and look at mom. We all got up and went to get ready for dinner at the councilman's suite.
