The roasted boar was salt and fat and oil and smoky goodness and Alex wolfed it down. All around him the rowdy party that had started late afternoon continued on in full swing. Down the long tables were platters of roasted boar covered in salt and glistening with oil and interspersed between them were bowls of roasted root vegetables and wild gathered salads. It was dusk, transitioning to twilight, and in the distance rock music was playing from one of the cabins.

“You won't find this in the city!” a man across from Alex roared, and then grinned at the cheer that came back. Alex tried to remember his name but it was lost, partially in the blur of everyone he’d been introduced to and somewhat due to the spiced vodka they were drinking.

After Alex had talked with Julius, he’d quickly been introduced to the rest the family and the pack. Three of Nia’s sisters were there: Mia, Lia and Pia (who was pregnant) and if Alex thought it was disconcerting how similar they looked to Nia it was nothing compared to Nia’s mother, Emma. The two of them looked like identical twins. Alex had met other wives, half-brothers and sisters, children and other werewolves but there were simply too many names to remember.

Alex took a gulp of the spiced vodka. It turned out the pack wasn’t just brewing their own beer but also a strong spirit from root vegetables, which they were then distilling in flagrant violation of the law. The first mouthful had nearly blown Alex's head off. Although high-proof, it was utterly delicious, carrying hints of cinnamon and other spices. Jugs of it kept appearing on the tables, some of them flavored with fruit juices, berries, honey, and slices of lemon.

“Do it again werewolf mage!” a drunken girl called out from down the table. Alex dutifully complied, compressing flame finger on itself five times and then casting it. A flame appeared at the tip of each finger on his right hand and a cheer went up from the assorted werewolves, although he did see a few dirty looks here and there. Nia had explained to him that as werewolves didn't possess their own magic some of them were inherently distrustful of it, given their dislike and sometimes hatred of mages and other magic users who used it to abuse werewolves. On balance though, most of the werewolves seemed delighted and happy that one of their own could use magic.

Nia wrapped her arm around Alex, kissing him on the side of the neck before grabbing other jug and filling his glass again. This time the spiced drink was colored deep red with some kind of berry.

“Enough magic you,” she whispered in his ear before pinching him.

Alex canceled the spell, the flames disappearing and went back to his plate that was heaped high with meat and a few of the roasted tubers. Down the table he saw someone's phone light up as they hit a button and changed the song that was playing from somewhere over near the cabins.
