Our car cruised smoothly down the long road leading toward the hotel where the charity gala was being held. In elite pack society, events like these were never truly about charity. The auctions and expensive antiques were merely decorations for something far more valuable—power, alliances, and influence.
Every Alpha, business leader, and political figure attended for the same reason.
Connections.
One successful conversation at a gala like this could elevate a pack's standing overnight. Wolves gathered here to secure territory, strengthen alliances, and attach themselves to those powerful enough to change their futures.
And tonight, Elliot was unquestionably the center of attention.
