Chapter 20

It was custom in the Northern Ecl*pse pack to eat dinner with everyone. That’s why they had the pavilion. In the winter. the fire pit inside was lit and thick sheepskin flaps were hung to keep everyone warm.

I put on some short lace–up boots and headed to the kitchen to eat lunch. It was around 2:00 so I was a bit late for lunch but I needed something before dinner.

I made a sandwich with salami, ham, turkey, mozzarella, and some herb cream cheese. I was hungrier than I thought because it was gone in minutes.

“Luna Annette,” a woman my height with bright blonde hair that curled beautifully and a round face smiled as I walked in.

“I’m so happy you’ve chosen to join us today,” she gave me a genuine smile that warmed me. “My name is Charlotte Dair,”

“Charlotte please call me Luna Anna, I helped the midwives at my familial pack, I would love to do the same here,”

She and I started walking. “I’m sure you’re talented, everyone is so excited you’re here,”

We headed to a pink hallway that had comfy white chairs and baby feet decor on the wall.

“We are a larger pack so we have a good amount of patients. Today we’re seeing Masie and Connor. It’s their first pup,” she guided me to a room at the end of the hall.
