"Alpha Enzo, it's been a true honor speaking with you," Alpha Derek said with a firm nod, extending his hand for a handshake. His voice carried the weight of experience and respect.
"The honor is mine, Alpha Derek," Enzo replied smoothly, rising from his seat with effortless grace. He took the offered hand in a strong, assured grip. "I hope you'll find the time to visit our pack again soon."
Alpha Derek chuckled—a deep, rumbling sound that matched his imposing stature. "You can count on it. I wouldn't miss the opportunity."
Then, turning to Luna Stella, his tone softened. He took her hand gently, pressing a respectful kiss to her knuckles. "Luna, your presence is as radiant as ever. Always a pleasure."
Luna Stella's cheeks flushed with warmth as a soft blush colored her face. She offered a shy smile and glanced away. "Safe travels back to your pack, Alpha Derek. And please… give my regards to your wife."
