Luna Erin had used brunch as a double way as for taste testing food options. There was one picture that really stood out from the rest. Everything was either silver with diamonds or black and onyx. Sierra was pulling me towards that as she felt like it represented her and our mate. White table clothes wrapped each table with black center pieces of flowers and feathers. What shocked me is this wasn’t my style but this is what felt right.

The table itself was a large, ornate piece of furniture made of polished wood, with intricate carvings and detailing. The table was set with an array of expensive china, silverware, and crystal glasses, each piece sparkling in the soft light of the dining room. A large, decorative floral centerpiece adorned the middle of the table, its sweet fragrance filling the air. The dining chairs were elegant and luxurious, with plush cushions and intricate designs carved into the wood. Despite their comfortable appearance, Sabrina couldn't help but feel uneasy as she sat down at the table across from Kenneth. The room itself was large and imposing, with high ceilings and walls adorned with expensive a

The restaurant was warm, lit by lanterns, the smell of grilled fish and salt filling the air. A long wooden table stood by the window. The hostess led them to it. "Please, sit wherever you like." Daniel immediately took charge, pulling out a chair at the far end of one side. "Mr. Blackwood, you sit here." Vance did not move. He was studying the table. The arrangement was simple: two long sides facing each other. One side would have a view of the street. The other would face the wall.

And at the head of the lo‍ng, obsidian table sat Helena Blackwood. She looked ma‍gn⁠ificen‌t in a struc‍tured pe‍arl-grey suit, her silver hair coiled i‌nto a p⁠erfect, ti‌gh⁠t knot. She looked e‌xact⁠ly like what she was, a woman w‌ho had survived a‌ lifetime of be‍trayal by turni‍ng her heart into⁠ a fortress o⁠f steel. Besi⁠de h‍e⁠r was an e⁠mpty‌ chair, the one inte‍nded f‍or Jennifer. Seei‍n‍g only‍ Lucien and me ent‌er, Helena⁠’s eyes‍ fl‍ickered with a brief flash⁠ of‌ surprise before smoothi‍ng over into a cold gaze.

The floor was a black-and-white marble that made it look like a chessboard. There were a couple of round tables set up with lace runners, bone china, and low floral centerpieces that looked too elegant to just be for brunch. In the corner, there was a table for food and drinks: tiered trays of mini sandwiches, a white chocolate fountain, a pitcher of something pink that also shimmered for some reason, glasses of champagne, and an endless assortment of tiny desserts. And seated around it all were a handful of women who looked like they did yoga in diamonds. Obviously, I was way out of my league here.

Even by my standards, this is over the top but anything that helps in putting down Dominic is a win for me. The room is enveloped in a dark gray color scheme that reminds me of a moonless night sky, with a polished black marble floor that subtly shines in the light, reflecting the sleek silver legs of the conference table. At the far end of the room stands a proud bronze statue of a wolf, mounted on a black marble base with intricate details highlighted, from its sharp claws to its textured fur, everything screams power.

The maid asked Tabby who was watching the backs of her lover and sisters. “Yes, can you russel me some dill pickles and ice cream?” Tabby asked, to the surprise of the maid. “I’ll see what I can do, Misstress.” The maid said and left to retrieve Tabby’s request. Blake and the two sisters arrived at the dining room, where the House Leader’s Chair was arranged at the head of the round dining table. The elegant, long mahogany table used for guests had been replaced with a round elderberry wooden table. The chairs were of the same material but with leather seats and backs.

He hadn't kept anything in the living room, so he needed everything. Finding a beautiful black coffee table and two end tables with stained-glass tops, I pointed them out, and Smarmy wrote it down on his clipboard. Matt seemed content to follow me around. I picked out a black floor lamp and one for his end table, both with a wide, square base and white cube shade. Lastly, I settled on two prints in black frames, one large enough to go over the mantle and the other for a wall. Both were turbulent paintings of ocean waves, storm-tossed, with a nearly translucent black compass embossed over the center. Smarmy went in a back room to get some forms.
