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
instructions.
“The key,” she said, adjusting her reading glasses as she pointed to a color-coded calendar system, “is anticipating his needs before he even realizes he has them. Damien operates three moves ahead of everyone else, so you need to think like a chess master, not a checkers

schedule.”

pristine desk, marveling at how different this felt from my cramped workspace at my previous job. Here, I had room to think, to breathe,
to actually-

sleek black device, its red light blinking insistently.
