I wake up with a jolt. Cursed alarm clock! I blink my eyes for a few moments until they get used to the light. I straighten up suddenly, it's not my room! After a brief moment of panic, I remember that I am at the Supreme Palace since I decided to follow Alex to finally play my role correctly.

I growl over this lamentable alarm clock, my stomach in my heels. I head for my door but change my mind at the last moment, I clearly can't go out like that. I sigh, too bad for breakfast, I must first make sure I look like something human before I can show myself.

I only come across wolves that I don't know when I go to the ground floor, at the same time I don't know anyone so it's a bit normal. I'm definitely not awake, my thoughts are either stupid or meaningless or both! Coming down the stairs, I remember that I have no idea where the kitchens are.

A wolf stops beside me and bows politely.

- Luna? Looking for something ?

- Yes, I would like to have lunch actually. In the morning, I take a title and a formal address in the face, it wakes up at least.

- Of course, follow me. She shows me the way to a gigantic dining room, at the end of the long main table there is a placemat already waiting for me.

- What would you like to eat?

- Cereals please. She makes no comment, but I can see that she is surprised that I also addressed her as you. I have no idea where he ranks in the pack, did I do something wrong on my first day?

I find myself waiting alone in this large room, luckily my phone is there to keep me company. I've been bombarded on social media with rumors that the Alpha Supreme has found his soulmate. I don't know how Alex did it, but after I ran away from my old high school, news of my existence didn't come out.

The wolf ends up returning with a whole assortment of different cereals and milks. She lays it all down in front of me and slips away. I fill my bowl and the sound of cereal falling seems to resonate, I'm not made for loneliness at all, especially in an environment that I don't know like this. I take this opportunity to solve the dilemma of milk before or after cereal since I don't put any! Seriously, this thing sucks!

- Luna? A wolf enters the dining room just as I put down my spoon. The Alpha asks you

-Ok thank you. The wolf turns to go out but I call him back immediately. Can you show me where he is please? Wolves are used to detecting each other's presence, but I'm quite unable to do so.

He nods and I follow him in an almost morbid silence, as if no one has the right to speak to me. He stops in front of a room, I thank him and he always leaves without a word. I knock on the door and Alex's voice answers me, I come in to see him sitting at his desk with a wolf that looks like him, it must be his aunt.

I walk forward and close the door behind me, the two wolves smile at me and Alex speaks:

-Laura, this is my aunt, Marla. I was not mistaken, as what it was not completely useless to learn about the Alpha family.

-Hello Marla. I stand with a smile, this woman looks warm but I have no idea how I'm supposed to greet her.

- Delighted Laura, you can call me Auntie like him if you want. She points at Alex with a slightly mocking voice and I hold back a laugh at the desperate expression he has.

-Oh it's ok... I've called you that since I was little, I don't usually call you Marla except for official ceremonies. I can well imagine a little Alex calling his “Auntie”. She turns to me and takes my hands

-I am very happy to finally meet you. Her sincere smile is communicative.

- Before your official team is composed, you will need an outfit for your presentation which will be done as soon as possible. Since you don't know the city, Marla, he presses her name giving her an equivocal look, has offered to accompany you.

-THANKS. I'm about to leave but Alex interrupts me.

-Marla come out for a moment, please.

- I'm waiting for you in the car. She tells me with a wink as she closes the door behind her.

When I turn to see Alex, he has had time to walk around his desk to stand in front of me. It's close but not close enough for me to gasp.

-Yes ?

-I did not have the opportunity to greet you this morning.

-Hmm yes, I didn't see you at breakfast.

-I do not eat in the morning. Our discussion is profoundly useless but I know he wants to tell me something, I just don't know what. He runs his hand through his hair and I can't help noticing how sexy that gesture is. I wanted to thank you for agreeing to come with me. I was raised expecting when I would meet you but you didn't. It's normal for you to be scared and I'll try to go at your pace. He waits for a reaction from me but I remain speechless. I open my mouth to speak but pinch my lips immediately to avoid saying something stupid, his gaze automatically drifts to them and something in his eyes changes, desire? I'm not quite sure.

- Thanks Alex. I finally answer, he smiles at me and turns away from my lips but he does not move away. To really thank him, I approach a step, hesitant at first, then I snuggle up in his arms. His breath eases as if he's completely relaxed from feeling me against him.

I'm happy to go buy me an evening dress. I've always loved dresses like this but I didn't really have the opportunity to wear them, nor the budget for them. And also happy because the woman who accompanies me is always cheerful, which inevitably puts you in a good mood after a while.

Under her advice, I try on a pink dress that I find very beautiful and turn to her.

-You are sublime with this dress! The dress is pale without making me look dead. It is tightened at the waist and the skirt is made up of long veils for an airy effect. The top is the same color and is decorated with silver beads that form a thin band at the waist, a brace at the neckline and a thin rain down to the straps.

I smile at the compliment. They then come to offer me shoes and accessories to go with it. I listen to Auntie's advice carefully, especially when she advises me to take a second outfit in case of unforeseen events.
