There was just something different about the day. She could feel it in the air.
The maids babbled excitedly amongst themselves - an excitement she didn't share.
Even when they arrived to serve them food, their minds were elsewhere. Her drinks were spilled, her bath was too hot, then too cold, then perfect for a baby, her corset was laced too tightly, everything was just… not done right.
Until she heard from Lara that the blood moon was happening that very night.
She had expected it in a few days, not the exact next day.
Part of her was excited because the King would Grace the ceremony - but blood moons were only for wolves. And the possibilities of wolves harming her because she appeared human was very high.
Any and every wolf would be gathered there… except outlaws.
Everyone would go, except herself and Aurora.
"How unfortunate!" She threw her hands up in despair.
