| 167 | The meeting continues

In the bright meeting hall, the air was thick with anticipation. Azraiel, Matt, Charlotte, Katya, Ayleen, Kira, and Theo had gathered well before Aunt Caitlyn and Daniel's arrival. The tension was palpable, each person lost in their thoughts, aware of the significant agenda ahead.

Azraiel cleared his throat, drawing the group's attention. "I've called you all here early because we need to discuss a plan that Aunt Caitlyn has suggested," he began, his voice steady and authoritative. "We are going to host a ball to introduce Charlotte to the other Alphas."

The room fell silent, the gravity of the announcement sinking in. The ball was not just a social event; it was a political manoeuvre, a way to establish alliances and showcase strength. It was also a significant step for Charlotte, who had recently come into her own as a prominent figure among their kind.
