When they arrive at the packhouse, a generous meal is waiting for them. An omega takes them into the huge dining room, where Evelyn is pointed to the chair to the right of the alpha, the Luna seat. Leilah doesn't want to hear about it and pulls her friend next to her on the fifth chair, intended for guests. At that moment Marcus enters the room and when he notices the seat arrangement he lets out a soft growl. The Elders also frown at the positioning. “Luna, your seat is next to the alpha, to the right of the head of the table”, Elder Antonius intervenes. He looks at her and nods to the intended chair. “She will stay where she is now”, Leilah sounds short.
They all sit down, Marcus furiously looking ahead at Evelyn. “Evelyn, have you lost your tongue? Why does Leilah speak for you?”.
