We didn’t come out of his suite after the incident at lunch with Alexa and Alpha Aeon, and we were just informed about this dinner when Beta Collin mindlinked him.

“Oh, honey, you’re the stubborn one here. I’m sure your son and grandkids. would agree.” Luna Crystal added, smiling at her mate before she returned her gaze to me. “A pleasure to meet you, Lucy.”

“The pleasure is mine, Luna Crystal.”

“Momma… Everyone calls me momma.”

I was about to acknowledge her words when someone cleared his throat, and Alpha Aurelius’ voice came. “I think we should all eat.”
