I rolled my eyes but found myself smiling as I wiped the flour from my face. “You’re impossible.”

When I looked up at Andrei, though, I found that his gaze had softened. His hand was in his pocket now, thumbing something there. He parted his lips as if to say something, the tips of his ears reddening, but then-

“Alpha, we need more firewood for the main hearth,” one of the Gammas said, pulling Andrei’s attention away.

Andrei’s hand retreated from his pocket, and he cleared his throat. “Right. I’ll get some from the shed.”

I turned back to my dough, cheeks burning as the Gamma continued talking about preparations for the feast.

Two hours later, the banquet hall was transformed. The long tables were laden with bowls of roasted venison stew, fresh bread, and pies made from the last of the autumn fruit stores. The air was already filled with the chatter and laughter of the pack, and the alcohol was flowing freely.

“Natalia!”

I turned just as I was setting down the last platter of bread on one of the tables to find Mila gesturing for me to come over. I approached and took a seat on the bench beside her. Her cheeks were already flushed from the wine.

“How are you holding up?” I asked, reaching for a piece of bread and butter. I was absolutely ravenous.

“Better now that you’re back.” She glanced around, then leaned closer. “Can I ask you something?”

“Of course.”

“When can I call you Luna again?”

My cheeks burned. “I… Andrei and I aren’t married yet. I’m not sure if it would be appropriate to use that title.”

“But you’re together again, right?” Another woman sitting nearby joined us. “Everyone’s been wondering. After what happened before, when you left…”

“We’re working things out,” I said carefully.

“Good,” Mila said firmly. “Work it out faster.”

I rolled my eyes, although I was admittedly smiling a bit. “You’ve had too much wine, Mila,” I teased, standing. “You can apologize for the intrusiveness in the morning, once you’ve sobered up.”

Mila grinned and raised her glass. “As you wish, Luna.”

My face was beet red as I turned and walked away, but I had to admit: being called the Luna of Moonshadow again was a good feeling.

Just as I was returning to mine and Andrei’s table, a commotion near the hall’s entrance caught my attention. We both turned to see that the grand doors had swung open, and a pair of figures–one leaning heavily on the other–were entering.

Before I could make sense of what was happening, a wave of cheers rose up from the pack, people raising their cups and stomping their feet.

I blinked, realizing that it was Damon and Grace. Damon was awake and standing, albeit a bit pale and tired. looking and having to lean heavily on Grace for support. But they were both smiling as they approached us.

“You stubborn ass,” Andrei said, standing and clapping his brother on the shoulder. “You’re supposed to be in bed.”

“Couldn’t miss the party,” Damon replied with a wink. “Besides, Grace threatened to throttle me if I didn’t start moving around.”
