With Elliot's presence radiating the authority of a dominant Alpha and the Presgrave lineage carrying undeniable influence across allied packs, Francis's demeanor shifted instantly into deference and welcome. His voice carried excitement as he addressed him, the tone of a subordinate recognizing a figure far above his standing within the hierarchy.
"Young Master Presgrave, you've honored us with your presence. It is a privilege to have you here."
Even though Francis had once received life-saving aid from Elliot's side of the pack network, instinct still placed Elliot in a position that could not be challenged. Respect and caution coexisted in his tone, shaped by awareness of power and the consequences of misalignment with it.
