She has all the qualities I need in a Luna, and I’ll soon know how the pack feels about her, not that I’m worried much about that. I’m sure if I love her, the pack will soon come around.
The ideas she has for improving the pack and preparing for the expected increase in our population are all good ones.

You can talk with the house keeper Marian if you have questions, concerns, or special requests. Calvin and Janice are the cooks, and they will also happily take your suggestions regarding meals or any dietary requirements you might have. We are all just one huge family here!”
I’m fine with that, and don’t take it too personally. They don’t know me, and everyone seems busy with their work.

Apparently it was his night to dry dishes, but he had been gone for a couple days at the alpha meeting and had some important paperwork that needed to be done, therefore I was actually taking his place this evening when normally guests wouldn’t be required to help. And Amelia was more than happy to take Colleen’s place since she was busy nursing her infant son. Amelia was no novice to kitchen duty, after al
