The breeze in the garden was soft, brushing against their skins like whispers from the trees.
Alpha Theo sat beside Kimberly, both of them quiet for a moment, enjoying the cool hush of evening.
That calm was broken when Elijah walked in with his usual serious stride.
"Alpha," Elijah said, bowing slightly, "Lucian and Steve are here."
Theo's eyes lit up slightly. "Good. Bring them here to join us," he said, a pleased smile crossing his face.
Kimberly turned to him, her expression curious. "Were you expecting them before? And… why are they together?"
"Because we need men with power," Theo replied calmly.
"Men who are not afraid to face anything and anyone for the greater good . Both Lucian and Steve are hungry. They have something to prove."
Kimberly, seated across from him, leaned forward. "So what are we talking about with them?"
"They'll give us updates. Things I can't see yet," Theo answered.
