Luna sat at the edge of the fire, her foot tapping nervously and her palms sweaty.
The crackling of the flames and the smell of smoke filled her senses as she watched the members of the Blood Moon pack move about their camp.
She could feel her heart racing as she tried to gauge their reactions to her presence.
It had only been a few days since Luna had arrived, and though she had been welcomed with open arms, she could still sense their wariness.
She was an outsider, and she needed to gain their trust if she wanted to succeed.
As she watched, she tried to pick up on any details that could help her understand them better.
One member, a tall man with piercing eyes, seemed to be watching her closely. Another, a young woman with a friendly smile, went out of her way to make her feel welcome.
She couldn't blame them, really. She was an outsider, who knows their Alpha, that's all. But Luna knew that she needed their help, and so she was determined to gain their trust.
