“Well, that’s Honour for you. She has read too much on everything useful and useless in this world,” Lina replied, leading her friend into the hotel, past the lone werewolf standing at the entrance. Katie recognised him and felt her blood run cold. Where the fear came from remained a mystery to the girl. One last detail twinkled at the edge of her mind, forcing her to call after the girls that were leaving.

“Honour, I don’t think Derrick noticed anything. You can be sure of that much,” she said to them before they vanished, mouthing silent gratitude. Cole stood at the hotel entrance, remaining quiet even after the other girls had gone past earshot.

“Well, how did it go?”

“We found the flowers... Along with a group of rogues that were dealt with,” Katie responded.

“Tell me about the rogues...”

“I dealt with them rather quickly. There wasn’t much to them after all,” she responded.

“Then what was with the tense mood Caden returned with. I couldn’t get much from him and his memories. He didn’t seem to notice anything besides blooming lotuses and a gloomy amber-eyed werewolf. What the hell happened out there, Katie?” Cole asked.

The girl stepped back and looked her mate in the eye... The genuine worry in his eyes shattered past her walls and sent the fear away... “Let’s trade memories. I also want to know what Caden saw out there.”

Sandra woke up to the low hum of noise coming from the gardens within the hotel. Her mind was foggy on what had happened before she fell asleep. Looking through the meagre memories that made themselves available to her, she found that there was nothing much she needed from them. She only needed to know the reason she’d chosen to fall asleep. This reason was also good enough to bring her mind back to reality faster than she’d intended to on an average day.

Rising up from the bed as fast as she could, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her, instantly calming her, “Get up very fast and you’ll ruin the effect of the rest you needed,” a voice whispered into her ear. She allowed herself to relax for a moment before speaking to the man that held her.

“What’s the time? Am I...”

“You’re right on time, Sandra. The bonfire has only begun and that puts the duel even further away. Calm down,” Jason’s voice filtered into her mind. Taking in a deep breath, the girl finally let her thoughts flow in a more orderly manner.

“Thanks... I was afraid I’d oversleep,” she replied.

“It’s no problem... Can I ask something?” the alpha asked, taking his arms off the now-relaxed girl, “You seem more aware of things you shouldn’t be aware of. Is there something I’m missing here...”

“Being around Katie and training with her has got its perks. I’m not good at it like she is, but it started happening recently. The bonfire sounds amazing... I’m surprised you’re still here when there is... ‘venison’ out in the gardens,” the girl said, putting air quotes on the word ‘venison’.

“Well, yeah, we are going to have a bite of that amazing tender explosive concoction of flavours, but I was not going to have any until you woke up,” he replied.

Sandra sighed and got up from the bed. She walked up to the dressing mirror and looked at herself in the mirror, judging that she needed a shower before getting out of the room, “Let me just get ready.”

“Take your time... No need to rush,” Jason replied, leaning into the covers and getting comfortable. His wolf was in the exact same mood. For as long as the two were near this female, there wasn’t anywhere else they’d rather be on the planet...

‘Caden, report...’ he said through the mind link he shared with his fellow beta alpha.

‘Well, they are both fine. In fact, they are more than fine... The beta alpha counterpart sent images of the two royals staring at a batch of venison that was being roasted by one of the hunters as though it was one of the treasures that life had to offer, ‘You can continue taking care of your kitten.’

‘My ‘kitten’ is doing fine, thanks for asking. Keep in touch in case anything happens. Sandra feels like there is something bad going to happen tonight. She wants to protect her friend just as much as we want to keep the Luna out of harm’s way...’

‘Sometimes I wonder if she’s in need of any protection, then I remember what happened in Brigadia,’ Caden replied, ‘I’ll tell you first in case anything happens.’

‘Thank you, Caden.’

The hotel staff knew how to throw a party... Music, which none of the students had seen coming, boomed across the gardens, setting the mood for all those that thought a bonfire was a bad idea. The actual bonfire that had been set roared and reached higher than any of them had thought possible.

The three hunters worked the grills with a lot of meals set to be grilled and served to the hungry students who still wanted more meat. Among these happened to be the royals of the Sirius household. Putting aside their differences, the royals crowded the grills and made orders for meat. Lina took some time to adjust to her sister’s appetite. The girl didn’t mess around when she put her mind to it. Food just seemed to vanish into a bottomless pit.

Cole, on the other hand, was encouraging her to eat more. (Not that he wasn’t eating a lot himself...) Derrick sighed when he realised the royals were lengthening the lines and tried to sneak in a request through Lina’s orders. Crysta stood to the side of everything and sighed... “One deer, that’s all they brought... What were they thinking?”

Jason arrived a moment too late... Everything concerning venison had been consumed. When the hunters switched to ordinary beef, half the royal population and alphas had vanished from the grills to find something else to do. A section of the gardens had been designed for those that wanted to dance... The school goofballs had taken the stage first and set the rhythm that got couples on the floor. Katie was only wondering how they could have so many couples in two classes and had even taken the time to personally count them herself.

“I can’t believe you ate every last piece of venison,” Sandra yelled at the couple once she found them eyeing the dancing couples. The numbers vanished from Katie’s mind... ‘I know that voice...’

“Oh, Sandra, where have you been?” she pulled the girl into a hug, “How could anyone miss this much fun? Have you seen the large contraption that keeps spewing fruit punch?”

“I’m sure you finished every last drop from the fountain, Katie. Did you even hear what I said?” Sandra groaned from under her hyper friend’s arm, following her where her aimless feet carried them.

Jason stayed beside Cole, chuckles leaving him as he took in the sights, “The people of the Sirius reserve sure know how to throw a party.”

“Well, yeah, but I would rather say the students know how to party...” Cole had just said that when someone crashed into the dancing party and screamed, ‘WHO WANTS TO PARTEEEE?’ The music switched up to disco and everything was different. A large crowd of unruly students milled into the couple’s crowd and it was chaos beyond that...

“I guess that’s what happens when you awaken the beast inside of teenagers that know nightlife in the capital,” Jason exclaimed, shifting his head to the right as a glass cup flew past him and crashed further back.

“Chaos indeed...” Cole confirmed. The two boys slowly shuffled away from the dancing crowd and back to the grills.

“You’ve got to be kidding me...” Jason’s voice brought Cole’s attention from the party people and to the grills. There, exposed for the whole world to see, on a bench with his mate, was Sandra digging into the last skewer of venison. Cole could tell it was venison from the scent, but he’d been sure the whole of it had been finished by the time he was done. His mate was only tapping his friend’s back.

“It’s good, isn’t it?” she said to her.

Jason walked up to them, taking a seat opposite them, “Well, if there was one extra, then there was obviously another, right Luna?”

Katie looked up from her friend and regarded the beta alpha. She then looked between her best friend and the beta alpha, “Umm...”

“Sandra, dear...”

“It’s all mine, Jason,” she cut him off.

Cole walked up to his friend and helped the disappointed beta alpha out of the vicinity, masking his laughter from them, “Come on, Jason. You know how it is for those that are tasting venison for the first time. You should let them have the last laugh for now. We’ll probably get to eat it again once we return to Lycaon...”

“That’s a very long time from now, Cole and you know it...”
