Ensley stepped out of the vehicle and walked straight inside, intent on greeting his father and mother first. His beta, Kendric, followed closely as they traversed the long corridor toward the King's wing.
The guards at the entrance bowed in unison, parting to allow him passage. As he stepped inside, he found Alpha King Huxley and Luna Queen Presley deep in a conversation of hushed whispers.
"Dad! Mom!" Ensley called out, his voice echoing through the chamber.
At the sound of their son's voice, both snapped their heads in his direction, their expressions shifting to shock at the sight of him standing right in front of them.
"Ensley!" Presley cried joyfully, rising to her feet at once.
He bowed respectfully to both of them before crossing the room to his mother, pulling her into a warm embrace first. A look of pure relief crossed her face as she pulled back slightly to plant a firm kiss on his forehead.
