Lilith POV
The estate felt different.
Lilith could not explain it but the air was heavier.
The pack moved differently.
Slower.
Quieter.
Like everyone had used something up the night two days ago and had not gotten it back yet.
Like the entire pack took a day off to get everything in place before they start running the pack again after the full moon.
She walked through the main corridor toward the dining hall.
Wolves she passed looked at her.
Not hostile.
Not friendly either.
Just looked.
One omega stopped completely and stared until her companion pulled her forward.
Lilith kept walking.
Agnes was waiting at the table with tea already poured.
She looked tired.
Lilith sat down.
"Did you sleep."
Agnes shook her head.
"Full moon nights are not sleeping nights."
"Why? But it is a day after already so why?" Lilith said
"The pack runs. The elders watch. The young ones shift for the first time if the moon calls them. It is celebration and duty all at once."
