A Toast

Everyone present in the dining hall understood the gravity of the situation. However, none showed any signs of panic on their faces. If anything, they were showing their unfaltering determination to take down that rogue group.

Alpha Helblaze clapped his hands and swiftly turned back to his normal self. "Okay, everybody! Let's fill our bellies tonight and take down our foes when the time comes." He lifted his beer mug and raised it for a toast. "To Valerie, our brave Beta Female!"

What? No!

Upon hearing that unexpected toast from the alpha, I widened my eyes so much that I thought my eyes would fall off my eye sockets.

"To our Beta Female!" Everyone raised their glasses in the air and shouted simultaneously.
