The farewell feast at the Royal Palace was more extravagant than necessary given the circumstances, but Odette had insisted.

"It's not every day my best friend becomes a Luna," she said, adjusting a flower arrangement on the massive dining table. "Even if it is during a crisis."

I smoothed down the blue dress she'd lent me, another designer piece that probably cost more than my entire college tuition. "You realize we're leaving in two hours, right? We could have just had coffee."

"Where's the fun in that?" She grinned. "Besides, Alexei wanted to formally recognize your contributions before you leave. Royal protocol and all that."

Carson entered the private dining room, dressed in dark pants and a charcoal button-down that made his golden eyes even more striking. He'd barely left my side since my injury, but Alexei had pulled him away for a final security briefing.

His eyes found mine immediately, a small smile softening his usual serious expression. "Ready to go home?"

    He immediately stepped back, pulling me protectively to his side, his arm wrapping around my waist like a shield. The distance he put between himself and her was deliberate, rough but protective.I let a low growl out from my chest. Another woman touching my mate? Absolutely not. An ex? Absolutely fucking not."Hey Carson, It's so good to see you," Olivia said in a sultry voice, stepping forward and reaching for his arm again. "Carson, I've missed you so much. It's been while...Can we talk..? Privately?""Don't touch me," Carson said sharply, moving me behind him slightly, creating even more space between me and her. "And whatever you want to say, you can say it in front of my mate."My growl deepened. The audacity of this woman to keep trying to put her hands on him infront of me?Olivia's perfectly manicured hand froze mid-reach, her eyes flicking to me for the first time. "Hmm, your mate?""Luna Astraia Briarthorn of High Crest Pack," Carson said immediately, his voice carrying cl

    I was still watching Hunter's romantic disaster unfold when Carson, Alexei, and I found ourselves in a quieter corner of the beach. The wave dancing was about to begin, and most of the crowd had moved toward the performance area."Hunter's quite the sensation," Alexei observed, sipping his sea glass punch. "I've never seen so many she-wolves compete for one man's attention.""Poor guy doesn't know which way to run.""At least he's being diplomatic about it," I said. "Though I think he's about two seconds away from diving into the ocean to escape."We watched as Pearl, Marina's daughter, gestured enthusiastically at something while Hunter nodded politely. Behind her, I could see at least three other women hovering, waiting for their turn."That might actually work," Alexei mused. "Hard to follow someone into the surf in formal attire.""Don't give him ideas," Carson laughed. "We'd spend the rest of the festival fishing him out of tide pools.""Should we rescue him?" I asked, watching H

    The crowd naturally began flowing toward a cleared section of beach near the water's edge. Hunter used the distraction to catch my eye, his expression grateful but still overwhelmed."The wave dancing is one of our most beautiful traditions," Coral said, moving to Hunter's side. "It's said to invoke the Moon Goddess's blessing on romantic endeavors.""How romantic," Lydia said, deliberately moving to Hunter's other side. "Hunter, would you like to watch it with me? We could find a quiet spot away from the crowd.""Actually," Sarah said, not to be outdone, "I thought we could discuss the cultural significance of traditional dances while we watch. I've done some research on ceremonial movement and its tactical applications.""Tactical applications of dancing?" Lydia asked incredulously."Formation movement, group coordination, non-verbal communication," Sarah replied seriously. "Very relevant to Hunter's Beta responsibilities.""Everything doe

    I spent the next twenty minutes meeting pack leaders and their Lunas, but I kept glancing back toward where Hunter was clearly struggling to manage three very determined women."Luna Briarthorn," Alpha Devon from Sunrise Pack was saying, "we'd love to discuss collaboration on renewable energy projects. Your environmental science background would be invaluable.""That sounds wonderful," I replied, trying to focus on the conversation while watching Hunter's increasingly desperate expression in the background.Lydia had claimed his left arm and was talking animatedly about something, gesturing toward the water. Sarah stood on his right, still clutching that book and making what looked like very serious points. And Coral had positioned herself directly in front of him, effectively trapping him in place."Perhaps we could schedule a formal meeting tomorrow?" Alpha Devon continued."Absolutely. I'd love to learn more about your projects.""Excellent. Now, if you'll excuse me, I should greet
