Chapter 54 Challenge

• FUKAYNA
• I remembered their faces⸺these Alphas and Lunas with their Betas, Gammas, and Deltas during my first shift. Now, we were all in the huge meeting room on the second floor of the palace. It had six silk-curtained windows. Like yesterday, the autumn atmosphere was dreary. The air was chilly, but it was fine for our kind. We needed no jackets, unless it was for our outfit’s sake.
• Now, I was seated at the head of the table, with my mate standing behind me, like an alert bodyguard. We were both prepared when I decided to attend this meeting, which Beta Costel had set a day before the funeral. Naturally, everyone was there to decide who was going to lead the European empire that my father had built for many years.
