On the edge of the picnic heading toward the table
Russ had heard about the invitation to the gathering at the Hale Estate and thought it would be a good opportunity to meet the other wolves in town. Particularly the Hales. So far, he hadn't had a chance to meet anyone but Derek and that hadn't been an especially friendly meeting. He hoped that this encounter would go much better. To that end, he had brought a dessert. He was terrible at cooking, so he hadn't bothered and just brought a store bought cake instead. Along with a bottle of wolfsbane infused whiskey as a gift for Laura in particular as the alpha of the family. It was his favorite, and the only thing that he could get even a buzz off since it was nearly impossible for him to get drunk.
