“Ready for dinner?” Adan asked as a warm smile tugged on his mouth.

“Ready!” I smiled at him after I blinked back the tears pooling in my eyes.

“Good, I’m starving. I missed lunch because some little bunny riled me up…”

He teased me as we walked toward the dining hall with our hands still clasped together, and I just couldn’t help but giggle softly because he was right. 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.

We entered the dining hall in silence, and Adan helped me onto my chair before he sat beside me. Soon another older female with blonde hair came in, carrying a bowl of vegetable salad. She was so beautiful, and she looked like Alexa.

Her eyes fell on me, and she gave me a warm, motherly smile as she placed the bowl on the table. She then walked to where I was seated, and I immediately stood up and faced her.

“Oh, Lucy! You’re as beautiful as Adan told me you are…” Her arms wrapped around my body, and I heard a chair being pushed before I felt Adan’s presence beside me.

“This is my grandmother, Crystal. Grand Luna of the pack and where Alexa got her blonde hair.”

“And her smart mind,” she added, pointing a finger to her temple, which made me smile.

“And stubbornness.” Alpha Aurelius added, his voice still as cold as snow.

“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.”
