Neveah sat on the edge of her bed, glancing through a book she had found on the shelf. It recounted great feats of Alphas in conquering rogues and territories. Mostly fables, tales and such.
Alessio arrived then. First came the knock and then he turned the knob and strode in. His eyes found Neveah, but she didn't acknowledge his arrival.
He said nothing, shutting the door. He ventured in and Neveah paid him no attention, even as he took off his outer robe, draping it over the back of the chair by the bed.
He watched her while he undid his cuffs, and then sat to unlace his boots. He headed into the washroom and emerged sometime later.
"It is already past mealtime. We will be joining Lado and the Eclipse Alphas for dinner." Alessio finally broke the silence.
"A good number of minor Alphas and a few major Alphas have already arrived for the ceremony. The rest will arrive over the next two days so it is to be a full house."
