Seraphina’s POV 1
Claire patiently explained the workflow to me, her elegant voice weaving through the complexities of managing an Alpha’s schedule with the skill of someone who’d been doing this for decades. I found myself frantically scribbling notes, trying to capture every nuance of her

sleek black device, its red light blinking insistently.
I took a deep breath, smoothed my skirt, and lifted the receiver with what I hoped was confident grace.
