Once I felt presentable, I quickly came out and put on my clothes—a white blouse and black trousers—and headed out the door. As I walked down the hallway, I bumped into my gamma. He had a warm smile on his face. "Oh, hey Alpha! I heard that that silly Bata of yours called for you, so I came running. Is everything alright?" I nodded slightly,
