Kael had gone to organize the Grimroot Pack members who had traveled with them, and the moment they spotted him they surrounded him with anxious expressions that made it clear they had been waiting for answers.
"Beta Kael, did you see Doctor Ash?" One of them asked right away.
Another warrior leaned forward before Kael could even open his mouth. "What about Luna Sera? We heard she kissed our Alpha during the full moon festival. Are we finally going to have a Luna?"
Kael let out a slow breath, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips as he looked around at their worried faces. "Yes, and yes."
The group exchanged confused glances, clearly not following. "Doctor Ash is Luna Sera."
For a heartbeat absolute silence fell over them while the words sank in. Then Kael grinned wide. "And she'll become the Luna of the Grimroot Pack."
The reaction caught everyone by surprise. A deafening cheer exploded through the snowy atmosphere so loud it seemed to bounce off the mountains.
