After taking baths, they went down for dinner. Elias positioned himself at the position of the head of the table. A position that Sienna also liked.
She was about to whisper a demand, that he move when her mother dragged her away, plopping her firmly next to him. Ali was next to her and Eli, next to Elias.
The clingy step sisters were there, as were the two grandparents she had not invited. Their presence could be attributed to her mother. Soren was somewhere at the beach, having chosen to eat with his cousins and uncles.
The table at Sienna's houses nearly groaned under the weight of the steaming dishes. The cooks had prepared a feast. Some of the dishes were Elias's favorites, as if they had known the fox Lord would be returning.
As food was distributed, Sienna added some vegetables to Eli's plate. The freshly scrubbed, still sulking cub, glared at the plate as though the vegetables had betrayed him. Across from him, Ali chuckled as she bit into her carrots with joy.
