Chapter 5 The Bloodmoon Packs annual celebration feast was bustling with energy , the grand hall packed with wolves from allied packs . The center of attention was Flora White who was draped in a custom feathered ceremonial gown . The figure hugging design accentuated her flawless curves , and standing beside Silan Grant in his formal Alpha regalia , they looked like a picture perfect pair of pack leaders . When she noticed me , her expression shifted slightly before she gracefully approached . With a chalice of red wolfsbane wine in hand . her steps towards me were painfully poised . Long time no see , Laurel , she said mockingly . Welcome to our feast . She paused dramatically , smirking . But I must say , its rare to see a Luna like you knowing her mate is bonding with another wolf yet staying so calm must have the patience of a sleeping pup ! She laughed lightly , her tone laced with venom , treating me like an insignificant outsider . I smiled faintly , unbothered by her attempt to provoke me . Not as impressive as you , Miss White . Becoming the other wolf with such flair truly admirable . Her expression faltered with irritation , but before she could retort , Silan appeared beside her . When his gaze landed on me , a flicker of amazement crossed his face . Youre here just in time , he said with a charming smile . Come stand with me later during the address . Let everyone see how radiant my Luna is I was wearing a strapless gown adorned with priceless embroidery in the Bloodmoon Parks colors , the fabric hugging my figure perfectly . My naturally striking features drew the attention of everyone in the room , their gazes lingering as I moved . Flora bit her lip , clearly displeased . Silan , didnt you say youd address the pack with me ? Why her now ? Silans face darkened , and his tone grew cold . Dont cause a scene during such an important gathering . Go sit down and wait for me Realizing it wasnt the moment to argue , Flora reluctantly stomped her foot and stalked off . Silani leaned in closer , lowering his voice as he took my hand and led me toward the stage . This feast is crucial for securing alliances with the neighboring packs . Just stand there and look regal dont mess this up . The pack elder hosting the feast handed him the speaking staff . Lets give a warm round of howls for Alpha Grant and his beautiful Luna ! San delivered a short , motivational speech with his commanding tone that resonated through the hall , while I stood silently beside him , offering no response . My presence was enough to uphold appearances . As his speech concluded , the elder stepped forward again . Now , let us enjoy a special presentation on the Bloodmoon Packs rich history , narrated b Alpha Grant himself The audience turned their attention to the grand screen behind us . Silan smiled confidently and cleared his throat to begin , but froze when he turned to glance at the screen What played wasnt the planned pack history it was a video . Silan and Flora , tangled in each others arms on a bed , flashed across the screen for all to see .
