Emma was skeptical at first about meeting a woman with a fossilized name from the fortune teller. She left the tent after giving her the payment for her services and joined her brothers and father as they watched jugglers and fire eaters do their acts. Every once in a while, Emma would hear Madame Antonia's words echo in her ear about the stranger. Days and weeks went by as Emma would sit on her bed as the words of the fortune teller would continue to echo in her ear.

One day, a woman arrived in the village accompanied by a large family. They looked a bit out of place with their fancy clothes and modern gadgets in a place where life seemed to have stood still for a while. The villagers watched with curiosity as they settled into a house on the outskirts of the village. Some tried to welcome them, but the family seemed to keep to themselves. It was clear that they were not there for a short visit, but nobody knew exactly what they were doing there. Emma even tried to introduce herself to the woman and her family yet, the brothers wanted nothing to do with her or the villagers. The woman would watch Emma from afar, taking much interest in Emma. The two never spoke to another yet Emma could tell the woman had to be around her age, possibly in her early twenties.

Shawn was chopping wood when one of the strange men who accompanied the woman walked up to him. Shawn was taken back by the mere size of him, had to be no more than a foot or two taller than him. The man looked at Shawn and then looked around as if he was looking for something or someone.

"Can I help you, sir? "asked Shawn, being respectful to the older man.

The man grunts before holding something out to Shawn. It was a letter addressed to Emma.

"Sister said to give this to the girl." he said before walking away.

Shawn stood there with letter in his hand, watching him walk away. Shawn agreed with the village that these newcomers were strange and clearly were not from here. Yet Shawn noticed something the other villagers did not: the man walked as if he was a beast on two legs.

It was dinner time as the family gathered around the kitchen table as Axel and Emma helped their father cook dinner. Damion and Ben just returned from the barn after their afternoon chores and took their seat just as Shawn joined Emma and Axel. Shawn handed the letter to his sister.

"Its from the newcomers. He said his sister wanted to give this to you" said Shawn.

Emma was curious on what the newcomers would want in order to write a letter instead of coming to speak with her. She takes the letter from her brother and goes to her room to read the letter before joining the family for dinner. She stares at letter before opening it, carefully to not rip it. She lets out a sigh to calm her nerves before reading.

At the newcomers' house

The woman enters the house after returning from a successful hunt with a large twenty point buck over her shoulders along with other kills. Her brothers and other family members were proud of their strong yet young alpha being able to provide for the family.

"Amber, the letter has been delivered." said the man as he enters the room.

He and Amber embrace each other after handing the buck and other kills off to the kitchen.

"Good, I will meet with her tomorrow then. If she shows, it will prove she is meant to be mine and proves the moon has chosen a great mate for me. now all of you, go wash up. Were you raised in a barn?" said Amber as the room was filled with laughter of heartiness.
