“Can I help you, Miss?” Darius’ receptionist who also happened to be one of the pack’s warriors stopped me as soon as I marched out of the elevator.

I didn’t plan on speaking to anyone else except Darius.

As I was about to press the elevator button, the door opened and Azalea walked in.

“Madam,”

I raised an eyebrow. “What?” I asked. Did he just call me Madam Or did I hear wrong?

“Are you here to see Alpha Darius?” He asked.

I nodded. “I was told I can’t see him without an appointment,”

He gave the boy a stern look, threw his hand in his pocket and gestured for me to follow him
