When I finally arrive in front of the royal residence, a huge gate faces me. You can't get the address wrong. The symbol of this family is proudly forged in the center of the entrance. A crowned wolf marks the power of these places. The guards on either side only add weight to the scales. This family has been at the head of our generation for so many years that everyone has forgotten those before. But despite their power that has no equal, it seems that they are quite accessible.

Determined, I approach one of the guards to open the door for me. I'm in my dreaded jumpsuit so I know he recognized me. I just unofficially lost my anonymity. His gaze is curious despite the fact that he tries to stay stoic to keep his rank. He is destabilized, I look at him with my dark eyes as black as my heart, but he refuses to open the door. I'm a wolf with an Alpha aura so I bend him to my power. I no longer want to say a single word. Because I am above them and nothing could prove it more than by entering without their wish.

Another guard comes up behind me saying:

- "You can't go back."

I turn around and give him a look that seems to say "are you really sure about that?". The answer he should have answered me is "yes", but if he had answered sincerely he would have pronounced a frank "no". Suddenly, I let my aura out and the guards crumble under the power. Without further formalities, I push the gate myself. It closes behind me with a loud crash. That is a sensational entry. Before leaving away from the guards, I say to them:

-"You will park my car. Be careful, it is worth more than anything you can offer your family."

I feel like they're trying not to do my bidding because they're good dog-dogs worth a bone to gnaw on, but my aura is too strong. I already perceive a guard approaching my car reluctantly. Seeing that they understood, I release my aura. The central aisle is huge, even tiring. I arrive at the bottom of the steps when a person appears:

-"Hello, Ténébris!"

I directly recognize him as the brother of the Alpha Supreme: Ezequiel Duncan. Plus, being the almighty's brother is his first beta. He looks like Arden Duncan, he's as dark as he is, and they're as handsome as their statutes allow them to be. The wolf has messy hair and a laughing green look in addition to having a perfect smile. He is sublime. I remain stoic as we continue to gauge each other. I give him a nod as a greeting and he says:

-"So in addition to being late, that's what the famous Ténébris looks like. I couldn't imagine you otherwise...

-And how did you imagine me? I answer, without taking into account his familiarity.

-You can call me familiar and I prefer to keep my imagination to myself, for now.

"In that case, keep your tongue in your mouth too."

It was not specified in the advertisement to be courteous with the pack... He laughs and instinctively, he reminds me of Disam. He holds out his hand to me and says:

-"Nice to meet you.

"As my mother used to say, hypocrisy begins with courtesy, so, in that case, I'm also very pleased to meet you."

He laughs slightly and whispers "we won't be bored". I take her hand and for a few seconds our eyes meet. Ezequiel plunges his emeralds into my obsidians. I confess to being destabilized by this exchange. There is something in his eyes that is inexplicable. Something that seems to bury, from afar. I am bewitched by his gaze. I feel that he too is disturbed and I hope that my confusion does not shine through as visibly as his. But regardless, he turns, ending this very strange exchange. I enter the house, ready to meet the other members of the pack, including the Alpha...
