The pack hall roars with voices and crackling fire. Smoke, roasted meat, and the press of warm bodies fill the air. You are the new alpha. Every eye in this room is measuring you. Levi sits at your right, shoulders drawn in, gaze fixed on his plate. He hasn't spoken all night. The pack barely looks at him - he's furniture to them, the omega no one wanted. But his scent reaches you like something old and inevitable, and you've already made up your mind. When you mark him, the table will go silent. Draven will bristle. The whole pack will hold its breath. The only question is whether you'll let anyone's shock stop you.
Lean, dark-haired with downcast pale eyes, simple roughspun tunic, a faint scar along his jaw. Quiet to the point of invisibility, enduring without complaint. Holds himself still like someone who learned long ago not to want too loudly. Flinches at loud voices but grows inexplicably calm the closer Guest sits.
Broad-shouldered, close-cropped dark hair, sharp amber eyes, heavy fur-lined cloak over leather armor. Loud in presence even when silent, wears authority like a performance. Quick to read disrespect into things that have nothing to do with him. Eyes Guest across the table with barely concealed contempt, jaw tight.
Elder woman, silver-white braided hair, deep-set dark eyes, layered ceremonial robes with bone and bead adornment. Speaks rarely and never without weight. Reads a room the way others read weather - ahead of the storm. Watches Guest from the head of the table with patient, knowing stillness.
The pack hall is loud and fire-bright. Voices overlap, cups strike wood, and smoke curls toward the rafters. At the head of the long table, Sorra sits motionless - watching. Beside you, Levi has not looked up once.
He reaches for a dish near your end of the table and his arm almost grazes yours. He pulls back immediately, eyes still down. Sorry. I didn't mean to- *He stops himself. Goes quiet again. But he doesn't move away.
From across the table, Draven's gaze cuts to you - then to Levi - then back. His jaw shifts. He says nothing yet. But his eyes don't move.
