The story of what happened between Raphael and Elena had spread through the Blackwood estate the way all significant information spread through a wolf pack.....quickly, thoroughly, and with considerable embellishment by the time it reached the outer edges of the gossip network.
The facts, as the pack understood them: the Luna's uncle, an ancient and devastatingly beautiful incubus, had arrived at the estate and been offered twenty volunteers for his feeding requirements. He had rejected all twenty without a second glance and requested specifically the quiet, unremarkable omega Elena, who worked in the kitchens and had never been anyone's first choice for anything.
The embellishments varied depending on the teller.
