“You’re very late, Alpha Asher. Is it customary of your Pack to keep your guests
waiting?”
The moment I stepped into the first-floor meeting room, a heavily accented voice reached my ears, and I raised my eyebrows in surprise. Though I knew the voice belonged to the King of Yurene, I was shocked by how callously I was being
spoken to.
The king stood from the couch very slowly and then extended his hand toward mine. “I jest, of course, though you do appear to be quite busy.””
I stared at his hand for a moment before I accepted it in mine. “I suppose I am quite busy. I’m sorry to keep you waiting-”
“Are you ill?” Kaleb blurted out. “You look tired-”
Lancel took a step forward in warning, but I raised a hand to stop him.
“It’s fine,” I murmured.
Kaleb studied us with a curious expression and then chuckled. “It seems the people of the South are more tense than us Northerners.”
The king of Yurene was one of the tallest men I’d ever seen. I wasn’t short by any means, but compared to his impressive stature, I felt like a child again. His hair was somewhere between gold and brown, and his deep blue eyes were dark and haunting. His appearance was sophisticated but his attire was another thing completely. He was dressed in deep leathers and furs that suggested a colder climate than it was. It made sense- Yurene’s climate was likely much colder than that of Wegalla’s.
Despite his height, he appeared to be a few years younger than me and still
had a softness to his smile.
