He opened the door and Kyros came in. "I came as quickly as I could" "Kyros" I said in greeting and he bowed at me. I didn't like that they were now formal with me but I didn't have the energy to correct him. He checked my eyes but when he brought out a torchlight, I stopped him. "My eyes will hurt" he nodded. "Have you been feeling extreme emotions like anger or jealousy" I nodded. "And your senses are heightened" I nodded. "It's nothing serious. You're about to go into heat.

“Perhaps.” Quinn tapped the table, seeking the bartender’s attention. “Give me another drink.” The bartender obliged, shoving another glass her way. She took it in hand, turning towards the alpha king. He was the strongest alpha across the globe, he deserved nothing but respect from her. “I didn’t greet you properly, Alpha Zayd.

He was not ready for the meeting but he had no choice but to attend it. His boss hated theories and loved results but right now all he had were theories.
