The feast was in full swing, the aroma of roasted deer filling the thick forest air and mingling with the lively
sounds of the live music.
| meandered my way through the crowd, casually sipping a glass of iced tea. My muscles still felt loose and
relaxed after that run through the forest, the coppery tang of blood lingering at the back of my tongue.
A group of children darted past me, nearly knockingover, their squeals of laughter echoing through the
clearing. | stepped aside quickly, narrowly avoiding a collision with little Adam, who seemed to be leading the
pack.
“Sorry, Luna Hannah!” he called over his shoulder, not slowing down for a second.
| couldn’t help but smile as | watched them disappear into the crowd. My hand unconsciously drifted to my
stomach, and | found myself wondering what it would be like to have my own child running and playing amongst

At that moment, my eyes sought out Noah almost of their own accord. | spotted him standing across the
clearing, deep in conversation with sof the older pack members. My hand quickly fell back to my side.
As if sensing my gaze, he looked up, our eyes locking for a brief moment.
My wolf stirred inside ofin response to that look, a low whine escaping my throat. The desire | had been
trying to ignore crushing back full force. | wanted him. Badly.
It was getting harder and harder to quell these feelings lately, especially since that night we had spent together.
It was as if tasting what we could have had only made the hunger worse.
And now that | had tasted the doe’s blood on my fangs, awakening that primal part of me, it felt as though only
one thought existed in my mind: him. Noah. Mate
“Hannah!” The sound of Drake's voice blissfully pulledfrom my thoughts, mercifully stoppingfrom
thinking, saying, or even doing something that | would regret later. | turned to see him approachingwith a
broad smile on his face.
“Drake,” | said, turning.
Drake stopped a foot away from me. “That was simpressive hunting earlier. I've never seen a Luna take
down a deer like that. So quick and clean.” He gestured to the fire, where today’s kill was being carved up to
serve. It felt both beautiful and barbaric at the stime, to feast on something that | had hunted myself. But it
felt so, so right-so in tune with the primal beast that lived inside of all of us.
| felt my cheeks warm at the praise. The cooks had even commented on how tender the meat was, indicating
that the deer had not suffered-sometimes, the overwhelming suffering of an animal could tinge the meat with a
strange taste. But not today.
“Thanks, Drake. Although | think Noah might have letwin,” | admitted.
Drake chuckled. “Well, even if he did, it doesn’t change the fact that you made a clean kill. It’s obvious you've
still got it in you.”

I nodded, sipping my iced tea. Then, remembering what | had seen earlier, | decided to probe a little. “By the
way, | couldn’t help but notice earlier... was Zoe riding on your back when you arrived at the kill site?”
Drake’s eyes widened slightly, and he glanced around before leaning in closer. “You saw that? | didn’t think
anyone had noticed.”
“I did,” I confirmed. “Is everything okay?”
He hesitated for a moment, then sighed. “I shouldn't tell you this, but... Zoe has been having strouble
shifting lately. | think it might be stress-related. She askedto help her keep up appearances during the hunt.”
Despite everything that had happened between us, | felt a pang of sympathy for Zoe. It was only today that |
had overcsof my own shifting troubles.
“Oh. That must be difficult for her,” | murmured.
Drake nodded solemnly. “It is. But don’t let on that you know, okay? She'd be mortified if she found out anyone
knew about her struggles. Especially you.”
