A Banquet of Expectations

(3rd person P.O.V)

The days leading up to the banquet blurred into a whirlwind of activity. Elena, alongside Ruth, Lisa, and Reena, immersed herself in the preparations, determined to make the event a success. Guest lists were compiled, debated, and finalized, names carefully arranged to maintain harmony among the pack’s social hierarchy. Caterers were interviewed, their menus scrutinized to ensure a delicate balance between werewolf favorites—rich, hearty meats and spiced broths—and more human-palatable offerings that wouldn’t leave Elena feeling out of place.
