XANDER
The grand hall was the formal dining hall, where he wine and dine with the most important members of his pack, like the delta wolves, the council, his Beta when he had one. After Malia's death, any desire to socialize died with her, so he stopped coming to the dining hall until tonight…
He walked into the room with Iris attached to his side, having seen how repulsed she was with the idea of pretending to be in love with him, he couldn't wait for dinner to be over so she wouldn't have to suffer any more of his presence.
Everyone in the room seemed to pause once they became aware of their presence. They stood up as a sign of respect and acknowledgement, he pulled out a chair for Iris then went to settle down next to her. Once they were seated, everyone took their seat too, he could hear the hushed conversations being whispered but pretend not to.
