[Rose's P.O.V.]
I followed Edward down the stairs to the castle hall for the dinner before the ceremony. Eating during events such as these usually happened in the dining hall. But there were too many people and the dining hall didn't seem to have enough space to fit them all. So Alpha Leon relocated the dining area to the castle hall. It was also the first time I saw so many werewolves in the castle. When they saw us arrive, they stood up and showed their respect.
Edward and I had a simple meal before he brought me to each table to do our round of greetings. I saw Lily come back from school to attend my Luna ceremony, but otherwise, most of the people here were unfamiliar faces. The only thing I knew about them was that they were the representatives of every werewolf family in the pack. There were men and women as well as the old and young. I simply kept smiling at them as a sign of friendliness while I greeted them.
