“Sorry we’re late,”Duke said as soon as we reached the table where the pack’s officials were seated. They all turned to us and stood up. They gave their respect to their Alpha. We were in a restaurant in the city and it was half an hour drive from Duke’s house and the pack’s territory. “It’s fine, Alpha, we just came here as well. We didn’t wait for too long.” Tomson, his beta , said. “Good evening, Xena.” He said and nodded at me. He was fine; not as intimidating as my mate. “Alright, let’s all take a seat,” Duke said and he pulled a chair for me. He then pulled the chair next to mine and settled there. Tomson cleared his throat and was about to start talking when the waiter interrupted us. “May I take your orders?” He said to us. He handed each one of us a menu and waited patiently.
