The Next Luna

I was surprised to see more people joining us upon our return from the burning of Alpha Kens’ body. Neighboring packs had come to pay their respect to his family. Most of them were not scheduled to arrive until tomorrow to attend Godric’s ceremony. But they decided to come early for the funeral.

The procession line made its way to the dining hall, which was now dimly lit. The long table that always sat in the middle of the dining hall was broken down into many small tables. And a few extra tables were brought in to accommodate the guest. The tables were draped with black table clothes and a vase full of flowers was placed in the middle of each.

Luna Ariel and her family were placed at the end of the hall to have a full view of everyone and everything. Godric, being the new Alpha sat in the middle. With his brother and new Beta sitting on one side and the old Luna sitting on the other side.
