As the invitation lingered in the air between Meirah and Lucian, Meirah gently declined, "Thank you for the invitation, Lucian, but we really weren't prepared for any social gatherings. We will have to pass this time."
Susan watched as Meirah exchanged words with Lucian, her eyes darting between the two of them, trying to gauge the situation. When she heard the word ‘banquet,’ her interest was instantly piqued. A dinner party at the pack house? This was something she didn't want to miss.
As Meirah gently refused the invitation, Susan couldn’t help but feel a surge of disappointment. She understood her sister’s concerns, but this was an opportunity to experience the werewolf culture firsthand, to see the inner workings of a pack. She couldn’t let this chance slip through their fingers.
