“I am privileged to present my esteemed partner, my wife, and your new Luna: Luna Norah Ross.” The audience bursts into applause, and I observe one woman across the room who is standing and cheering more fervently than the others.
I can observe her side profile, and from my vantage point… she appears quite attractive. Extremely excellent. She possesses an attractive rounded posterior, and I observe her toned leg emerging from the slit on the side of her dark blue dress.
“They resemble best friends,” Aniyah states, interrupting my contemplation. I acquiesce and grin. I detect Norah’s fragrance once more. The aroma is delightful.
“I sincerely appreciate the cordial reception.” I am deeply honoured to be the Luna of such an extraordinary pack. I assure you that I will consistently strive to perform at my utmost for each of you. The initial matter to address… Gavin?Norah states. She is also enthusiastic.
Affirmative. We have an announcement to convey. “Norah…” Gavin states, his expression radiant. I am uncertain about the current situation.
“We wish to announce… I am expecting a child!”She exudes enthusiasm.
The entire hall is vociferously expressing excitement. Instinctively, I glance at the girl in blue, who is standing with the other women at her table, applauding and cheering.
“Are you acquainted with her?”“Aniyah enquires of me.”
“Pardon?”I furrow my brows in confusion as I gaze at Aniyah.
“Celine?”“Aniyah enquires while indicating the girl in the blue dress.” I decline by shaking my head. Celine, indeed. I appreciate that. The audience continues to applaud, and I observe once more that Aniyah is not participating. She appears disinterested as well. Throughout this entire duration, she has appeared disinterested.
Cohen’s perspective
Shortly, all individuals are seated, and the meal is being presented. Initially, a strawberry spinach salad, followed by roast beef accompanied by roasted potatoes and glazed carrots.
Dessert has been presented, consisting of Mocha cake. All the food was delectable; however, Aniyah expressed dissatisfaction with everything and exhibited considerable self-absorption.
She enquired of her father why they lacked black forest cake, her preferred dessert. This entire ceremony centres on her. Her voice is already irritating me. Upon the completion of dinner, the plates were promptly removed, and the music commenced.
“Let us procure a beverage,” Aniyah insists while seizing my arm. I nod with reluctance: I could benefit from one. I rise, and she encircles her arm around mine, securing her grip. After procuring our beverages, we return to the table that is now unoccupied by our parents. We are seated, and she gazes at me while smiling. In a highly flirtatious manner.
“May I pose a question to you?”I commence. She broadens her smile and nods.
“Do you have a contentious relationship with your parents?” Or your brother and his companion?She appears surprised, indicating that this is not the question she anticipated.
“What prompts your inquiry?””
I observed a significant display of affection for your family this evening, yet you appeared to refrain from engaging in it.
“I am uncertain.” I do not have a close relationship with my brother and his friend, and my relationship with my parents is satisfactory, I suppose. She admits, “People consistently extol their virtues, and I suppose it becomes irksome.”
She is a pampered individual who is envious of the lack of attention directed towards her. She is entirely oblivious to the simplicity of her existence. “Perhaps one day, I shall become a Luna, and these ceremonies will cease to be so tedious,” she remarks while caressing my arm. This is not my Luna, is all that occupies my thoughts.
Her friend arrives at the table, appearing equally emaciated and frail, akin to Aniyah. “Mylah, this is my Cohen,” she presents me. I nearly suffocate on the air. What is happening? I establish a mind link with my Beta, Paxton, who is also my closest friend, and with my Gamma, Alexis, to request assistance. My two associates arrive promptly and join us. I observed that the individual in the blue dress, Celine, is dancing with Norah and several other women. I finally observe her face. She is exceptionally beautiful.
She is the most exquisite woman I have ever encountered. I am compelled to gaze upon her. I find her highly attractive. I do not recall ever being so captivated by a woman previously. She is departing the dance floor, and I believe she is proceeding to the bar. I refocus on the surrounding conversation. The girls are attempting to persuade us to dance.
