Dinner was busy. We didn't really get a chance to sit and enjoy our food. Many wolves came up throughout dinner to congratulate Camilla. Some congratulated me on becoming Luna as well. We never got a chance to talk much. It didn't get over until late. The sun was starting to set when we walked out of the dining room.

"I wish you could stay Gracie, so much is going to happen around here now." Cammy whined as she hugged me.

"I know Cam, but I have duties now as Luna, too. I have to fulfill. I will come visit as often as I can, though." I said as I squeezed her tighter.

"You better!" She laughed, letting me go.

I stepped up and hugged Mum tightly, too, as she pressed a kiss to my forehead.

"Mum, I hope you'll come visit me sometimes. If you ever get bored of trying to help Cammy, you are always welcome to stay with us to visit wherever you feel like getting away."

"Thank you, baby girl, I am sure I will come bother you and Gabriel to keep myself busy at some point. I love you, be safe, and let me know when you get home, okay?"

"I will, love you, mum." I kissed her cheek and stepped back. She pulled Gabriel into a hug, and he gave a small smile and hugged her back.

"You don't be a stranger either, okay?" She said, looking up at him.

"I won't." He promised with a smile.

We said our final goodbyes and crawled in the back of an SUV, Eli and Myra were in the front. Felix was in the car behind us, Hannah told Cam she'd stay for a week and help her out with logistics. Cammy was thankful she offered, happy to have a friend stay behind. She didn't have many friends at the castle outside of the ones we shared as we were always together. There weren't a lot of wolves our age except our guards.

From only getting about two hours of sleep and the long day we had as soon as we hit the highway, I could feel my eyelids getting heavy. I unbuckled my seatbelt and crawled into Gabriel's lap to curl up, his arms wrapped around me, and he buried his face in my hair.

"I glad you weren't seriously hurt today, little Mate." he whispered into my ear.

"Mmhmm, me too." I mumbled. "My butt is still sore. You can kiss it better later." I managed to get out yawning, I heard Eli laugh, and I smiled a little bit.

"With pleasure, get some sleep, Grace. I'll keep you safe." He said quietly, and I snuggled into his chest, more passing out.

We got back to the pack just after 1:00, Gabriel lifted me out of the car and carried me up to our room while I kissed his chest. He laid me on the bed, and I closed my eyes, still tired as he carefully slipped my dress off and rolled me over on my belly. He growled, and it startled me. My eyes flew open, and I turned sitting up quickly, not understanding what happened. My wolfs eyes scanned the room quickly, then I looked at Gabriel, and he looked apologetic.

"I'm sorry, little Mate." He said slowly as he knelt on the bed between my legs. "I didn't mean to scare you. My wolf got upset at the marks on your pretty skin." My wolf huffed and gave me back full control, realizing there wasn't a threat.

I pulled the blankets back and took my bra off, threw it at him and pulled off my panties, and did the same laughing once. I crawled under the blanket, feeling like I could sleep for a year. Once I was comfortable, I peaked at him. He was still sitting at the end of the bed, and I yawned.

"Aren't you tired, baby? You couldn't have gotten much sleep last night." I yawned again, unable to stop it.

"I am, actually." He yawned, too. "I'm going to take a quick shower, you go to sleep, I'll be out in a few minutes." He got up to kiss my head and then walked to the bathroom, I heard him get in but not get out. It felt nice to be back in this bed.
