Chapter 39

"Where have you been?" Salt had his arms crossed as he started to reprimand his twin sister.

Their food had already gone cold as he and Lukas sat and waited patiently for the two girls. "A little heads-up won't hurt, you know?" He clicked his tongue when he met gazes with Amber. He was irritated. "Did you run into trouble?"

Pepper huffed, then rolled her eyes. The boys had already laid a blanket on the ground. Their lunch was already neatly placed on it as well. The Luna would be gone for a couple of weeks, and she wanted to cook one more time for them before she left.

Pepper instantly salivated when she caught a whiff of lamb meat. The Luna liked experimenting with food, but the meals that she served had always tasted good.
