Chapter 80.

Astel’s POV.

Just as I was about to lose myself in my work, there was a knock at the door. With a sigh, I said, “Come in.

The door opened, and a tall, uniformed guard entered the room. He bowed low, his voice low and deferential.

“Alpha, it’s time for the party.” I groaned, not in the mood to socialize with a number of stuffy Alphas.
