Chapter 94

• Later at midnight, the pack grounds were overflowing with life.
• One of the pack families had welcomed twins barely an hour earlier, and the news had spread through the territory faster than wildfire. The joyous news had been all the excuse anyone needed to celebrate, especially since the new father was one of the pack's warriors.
• Long wooden tables had been dragged outside beneath strings of glowing lanterns. Platters of roasted meats, their juices pooling in warm puddles beneath carved slices. There were bowls of ripe fruits—peaches, plums, berries, many more. Fresh bread, bottles of wine and honey liquor, their contents sloshing freely into any cup that lifted.
