‘You’re welcome,’Kelly mind-linked me, breaking through my lust.
I smiled and got up to lead her to her seat, needing to touch her. We stopped a few seats down from ours to introduce her to my gamma. Danny stopped chatting with a couple of warriors and stood.
“Celeste, this is Daniel, my gamma. Danny, this is Celeste, my mate.”
For once, Danny didn’t have a witty quip. He simply took her hand, gave it a gentle kiss and bowed his head.
“Luna, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Our pack has been waiting for its luna for many years, and I can see it was worth the wait.” Then, ruining the moment, he added, “Thanks for putting up with this asshole; it clearly takes a special wolf to get rid of his grumpy ass attitude.” He smirked my way, and I rolled my eyes but smiled at the beautiful laugh that came from Celeste.
‘She’s beautiful,’Danny mind-linked me while I pulled Celeste’s chair out for her.‘Don’t fuck this up.’
‘I don’t intend to,’I responded.
“Maya won’t be joining us tonight. I think she’s about to get her wolf. She preferred to stay in her room,” Celeste mentioned as she settled in.
“I’ll send the pack doctor to her room after dinner to make sure she’s doing alright,” I said, and she nodded. The food arrived, and it surprised me that she made one of Danny’s favorite dishes. I was making a mental note to ask her how she knew when Danny practically jumped for joy as a plate was placed in front of him. He was away for a full month, likely as long since he ate a home-cooked meal.
“How did you know this is my favorite?” he asked while he impatiently waited for everyone to be served.
“I asked Gillian.” She smiled, looking between my two best friends.
“You’re welcome for not lying and having her make my favorite instead,” Gillian said, and the whole table chuckled.
I had to swallow a growl at the orgasmic moan Danny let out when he took his first bite, but I realized I would probably have to fight every person at the table as more moans followed. Clearly, I wasn’t as biased as I thought I might be. This woman was a goddess and cooked like one, too.
I turned to let her know how proud I was of her but paused when I saw the joy in her eyes. Guessing she could never eat with the people she fed at Blood Moon, or never allowed her the satisfaction of seeing how much they enjoyed her food made me see that agreeing to her cooking twice a week really wasn’t a compromise after all. She looked so pleased to see her food was going over so well. I reached for her hand and lightly squeezed. She turned to look at me, and her smile only grew as she met my eyes.
“This is amazing,” I praised.
Her eyes sparkled at the compliment. “Thank you.”
“Yo, is there more?” Danny asked a little while later into the dinner. A young omega came and took his plate for a refill.
“Hey, wait, I reserved seconds!” Gillian retorted.
“I’d also take some seconds if there’s more,” Rhett called while his beta licked his plate and nodded as well.
‘I don’t know that there’s enough for everyone to get seconds,’Celeste mind-linked me, and I smirked.
‘Let them fight it out.’I shrugged, prompting her to giggle.
“If you’re all having seconds, I’m claiming all the desserts,” I called out, winking at her. Gillian, Kelly, Dad and Rhett decided to pass on seconds as long as Celeste could assure them they could have additional desserts.
After dinner, we tried to spitball some ideas for finding proof of Alpha Geoff’s crimes, but most people over-ate and were falling asleep, so we decided to pick it back up the next morning.
“Is the luna cooking breakfast?” Danny asked, looking excited.
“I’m afraid not. I have tutoring in the mornings, and it doesn’t give me enough time to cook,” Celeste answered.
“Tutoring?” Rhett asked, visibly disappointed.
Celeste blushed and looked away.
“Celeste was denied access to schooling after her parents were killed. She requested a tutor to help her catch up quickly in order to be able to better fulfill her luna duties,” I stated proudly. It took a lot of courage to try to improve yourself, and while she was embarrassed to say she didn’t attend school past the second grade, I was not.
“That’s admirable,” Rhett mentioned, making me nod.
After saying our goodnights and ensuring Rhett and his beta were settled into their guest rooms, we headed up to our floor and were walking toward our room when I felt Celeste stiffen. She swayed, and I grabbed her by the waist to keep her from falling over.
