Beta Nathan stepped out first, opening the door for us, and I gathered the skirts of my dress as I followed Alpha Rowan onto the wide stone path leading up to the ballroom entrance. It was just as I had always remembered it. Alpha Rowan paused, reaching into his coat pocket, and handed me a delicate, intricate mask.

The grand ballroom of the luxurious La Dellodia hotel was a sight to behold, adorned with shimmering chandeliers and elegant drapery that cascaded from the ceiling. The theme of the evening was masquerade, and the atmosphere buzzed with excitement as couples danced gracefully across the polished floor, their laughter mingling with the soft strains of music.

Everyone in that room tonight is either firmly on the payroll or owns a significant piece of the debt that keeps the entire operation afloat.
