Chapter 49
Luna Catherine approached the maid standing in front of her, her voice carrying a hint of urgency. "Can you fill me in on everything that’s been going on downstairs?"
She moved to sit on her bed, already dressed for the engagement celebration, busy adding the finishing touches of makeup to her face. She seemed eager to finish quickly and join the rest of the guests.
"Everything is going smoothly, ma’am," the maid said respectfully, her head slightly bowed. "But Alpha Derrick hasn’t arrived yet."
Luna Catherine paused, her hand hovering above her makeup palette, her eyes wide in surprise. "Really? He’s not here yet?" she gasped, looking at the maid. "But the other Alphas, they’re all here, right?"
"Yes, ma’am. Most of them are already downstairs," the maid confirmed.
Luna Catherine frowned, her mind racing. "And where is Mona? Why isn’t she down there?"
"Mona’s still getting ready in her room with a few of her friends," the maid answered, stepping back slightly as Luna Catherine’s expression tightened.
"Alright. I’ll check on her myself. You stay here and take care of things," Luna Catherine said briskly, standing up and heading out the door.
As she walked toward Mona’s room, she passed several guests arriving at the pack house. She felt a surge of excitement—this engagement was a monumental event. With Alpha Derrick involved, every pack wanted to be here. The air was buzzing with anticipation for what was to come.
