As the cake was served to the guests, people started mingling.
Damon and Talia met with Maddox, Tatiana, Tony, and Kalina. None of them noticed anything out of the ordinary. It looked just like any other birthday party.
People moved in their usual groups. Luna Layla played a good host by weaving among guests and asking if they were having a good time, music was playing, and people were engaged in chatter over food and drinks.
George found an opportunity to join Dawn, Zina, and Owen.
"I don't see a fly pestering you anymore," Dawn said to George.
George smiled, knowing that the fly in question was Penelope. "I think she found another victim." Penelope was not in sight anymore, and neither was Alpha William.
"You think so?" Zina asked. "She looked quite persistent. Women like those don't give up."
"Shush!" Dawn exclaimed. "Bite your tongue, so you don't jinx it."
