Bloody Full Moon
To my surprise, the cooks aren’t there, just the girl from the gathering who sniffed me to determine I’m not a wolf.
“Hi!” I say with a smile.
"Hello," she says as she hastily wipes her hands with her apron. "I had no idea anybody was at home right now. I hope I didn't create too much of a fuss. I'm still getting acclimated to this kitchen."
“Oh, no, I’ve just arrived. What are you cooking? It smells delicious!”
"A few appetizers and steak for tomorrow night. It’s best to have the wolves all fed up before the shift, or else the rabbit and deer population would suffer greatly." She giggles. "By the way, I don’t know if I have ever introduced myself before. I’m Maria."
