News of Alpha Kolton's arrival at the corporate headquarters reached Beta Zed through the front desk. Kolton had business matters concerning the pack to discuss. When the receptionist notified Kirk of the Alpha's presence, Kirk issued his directive without hesitation.
"Your sister's intended is waiting downstairs. Go receive him properly."
Zed had little choice but to follow orders, though the assignment left a bitter taste in his mouth. His relationship with Kolton remained strained at best, and he questioned his sister's judgment daily.
What rational person would abandon the head Alpha to pursue his greatest rival?
Zed's eyes found the figure stationed near the reception desk.
Female employees clustered in small groups throughout the lobby, their voices dropping to excited whispers as they observed the newcomer. Some giggled behind their hands while others discreetly captured photos with their phones.
Yet none possessed the courage to approach him directly.
