Emma woke up on the morning of her 19th birthday to find herself being dogpiled by her five brothers. They were all laughing and having a great time, while Emma tried to catch her breath and make sense of what was happening. As Emma was recovering from the dogpile, their dad walked in with a tray of delicious breakfast. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and warm pancakes filled the room, making Emma's mouth water.

Her brothers quickly got up from the bed and rushed to the table, eager to dig in. Emma couldn't help but smile at the sight of her family coming together to celebrate her special day. Emma chuckled as Axel hugged her around her neck, handing her a drawing he made for her. Her father placed the breakfast tray upon her lap and Emma couldn't help but smile at her father for even remembering her birthday.

"I made you your favorite for breakfast. It might not be like mother's but I tried." her father said.

"I know but thank you for remembering and for trying." said Emma.

Shawn and Damion head downstairs with the younger boys and eat their breakfast as Emma got dressed. Before she could even come downstairs, Benjamin gives a shout.

"Emma! Shawn! look, the Roman Circus came to town! Can we go see?" asked Ben.

"Please? Please?" asked Axel as he gave everyone those puppy eyes of his.

Axel knew everyone was weak to the puppy eyes and he would always use his cuteness to get away with things and sometimes it would work on his brothers and sister.

Emma sighed and chuckled as she agreed as long as Father did. The boys looked at their father who just came down from getting dressed. At first, he was confused, but once it was explained, he smiled, shook Axel's hair, and agreed to let them go.

As Emma and the boys walked around the fairground, Emma saw a tent of a fortune teller.

"Why don't you get your fortune read? See what the future holds for you." asked her father.

Emma was curious and decided to visit the fortune teller. As she slowly entered the tent, she saw it was dark inside and the only light source was candles. In the center of the tent was a table with a crystal ball, the light from the candles seemed to make the ball glow. Emma was nervous as she went deeper into the tent. As she grew closer to the table, a puff of smoke suddenly engulfed the room. Emma coughed as she waved her hand, dissipating the smoke from her airway. As the smoke slowly dissolved, a woman was sitting behind the crystal ball.

"Welcome my dear. I am Madame Antonia, the Greatest Fortune Teller of Rome. Take a seat and we shall begin." said the woman.

Emma's nervousness grew more as she slid into the chair as Madame Antonia waved her hands over the crystal ball.

"Well, I see you have 5 younger brothers, you had to grow up fast to take care of the boys after you lost your mother at a young age. you poor child. and today is your 19th birthday." said Madame Antonia.

"How do you know that?" asked Emma, shocked to hear that this woman she never met knew about her.

"I know all and see all my dear." replied Madame Antonia, chuckling.

Emma scooted closer to the table, looking into the crystal ball with Madame Antonia.

"What do you see in my future?" asked Emma.

"I see... I see you will meet a stranger, they will forever change your life. but this stranger isn't like you to me or me to you. No, this stranger will come from a faraway place. More beast than man. or should I say a woman?" replied Madame Antonia.

Emma glanced up at the fortune teller and then back at the crystal ball, seeing a figure appear in the smoke of the crystal ball.

"Give me your hand, dear." said Madame Antonia.

Emma slowly gave her hand to her as Madame Antonia flipped her palm open, tracing her fingers along Emma's palm. Emma watched her trace a symbol onto her palm. Madame Antonia's face grew shocked as she could see it more clearly.

"You will meet a stranger, this stranger will tell you that you are destined to be their mate. This stranger will have the name of a fossilized material. " Said Madame Antonia.

Just as she was told her future, the figure in the smoke-filled crystal ball turned to show a woman with golden hew eyes before disappearing.
