Dinner was strictly served after the sunset. That day though since they had guests his mother, the one who strictly organized this extravagant dinner had other plans. She wanted to make a good impression or more appropriately a display of power, subtly she wanted to show that her kind was above theirs. Not only just strength but in beauty and luxury. That's why she had chosen this specific room for them to have dinner. 

It was a circular room with a tall ceiling. The walls were made of glass, showing the green gardens outside, his mother's black roses were the main spectacle of the view while the red sun set slowly, creating a red sky that mixed with orange and yellow finishing off with the beginning of the night, a deep blue color. It was as if the sky was set on fire, burning all around them. 

A long table had been set, golden silverware, spoons and forks, knives with eloquent designs on their handles. His mother, queen Cecilia had a love for roses. Everywhere in the palace, in the smallest of places you could see her influence if you paid close attention. It was the same with the silverware and the crystal wine glasses. All of them had delicate roses carved in them while the plates were polished to perfection, showing their reflections clearer than a mirror. 

The light was falling gently from above their heads, a golden chandelier with many layers and crystals hanging from the dges. The light fell on them, colorful patches landing in random places in the room. In the middle of the luxurious table was a bouquet of black roses with only one white rose in the middle. 

His mother, a woman that looked as if she was in her early forties could only be described as gorgeous. She was tall, with a lean figure that Kai had seemed to have inherited, her eyes big and vibrant, a green color that reminded that of a cat's while her hair was snowlike, perfectly white. Her skin was pale but her cheeks had the perfect flush of rouge in them, her lips painted a lethal red that matched perfectly with her fitted dress. Her shoulders were exposed while it was so long that it touched the ground. Made of fine silk it slipped on her body perfectly. She wore a necklace, a diamond tear placed beautifully on her body while smaller diamonds were hanging from her ears, half of her long hair up while the rest fell in perfect curls. 

Cecilia was sitting at the head of the table, the other side intended for the Alpha. Her husband was away, he had some business to attend since there seemed to be some kind of uproar in the border. She was the one in charge at the moment, all moments really. 

To her left Xan was seated, younger and a bit calmer. A faint smile on his face as he conversed with his mother about something. To her right his older sister, Nelia. She was a spitting image of their mother, beautiful with the spark of youth in her big green eyes, her hair falling white and straight on her shoulders while she wore a velvet black dress that showed her right leg. Kai was supposed to sit next to her and when he entered the room he watched her wave at him, a smile on her face. 

"Please don't get us in trouble." Lun said as they walked towards them. Their guests hadn't arrived the, 

The younger prince, dressed in a black pair of leather pants and a black silk shirt, strolled over his boots echoing in the quiet room. His hair had been styled so he could wear his crown without feeling uncomfortable. It was made of black gold, looking very much like a diadem, delicate with small green stones on it. It was basically nothing to what his sibling wore but he preferred it that way. He liked simpler things, especially when he had to put them on his head. His hair was falling neatly on his forehead, on his left hand a golden cuff that shone as the light landed on it. 

"Hush now, my little friend." he whispered to Lun before they sat down. He kissed his sister quickly on the cheek and drew back the comfortable chair, sitting and smiling at his mother. The woman sat back and allowed Lun to sit too after the tall vampire bowed respectfully to them.

"I am surprised that you decided to attend this dinner. I am aware you do not like such gatherings." Cecilia said, her voice smooth and low. 

"Well, I was curious. If I have to be honest, mother, I have never seen a werewolf before. I wanted to see how they were." Kai answered her, his eyes innocent and filled with curiosity. 

"I would like it if you said you were interested in the palace's affairs but I guess that's a start." she told him and Kai nodded, his hand playing with his shiny fork. Lun looked tense, his eyes shyly landing on Xan. His older brother noticed it and smiled at him. 

"Hey Lun, how have you been?" he asked him and the vampire almost gasped, surprised he was being asked to speak. 

"Same old your highness. I am waiting for graduation."

"Come on, don't call me your highness, I've known you ever since…"

"It's fine Xan." The queen interrupted him. "People need to know their standing. It is enough that he calls Kai by his name I think that…"

"So!" Nelia said, stopping her mother from what she knew was going to end up being a heated conversation. "Are they going to be taking more time? I have things to do" the princess said and her eyes landed on the closed door. 

As if some kind of magical force had heard her, considering how busy she was, made their guests arrive. The door opened, a butler entering and bowing respectfully before he announced their entrance. 

"The Alpha Octavius with his two trusted Wolf Warriors Philip and Mika have arrived." he said and Cecilia nodded, signaling him to open the door. Three men stepped in, dressed in their finest human clothing and Kai smiled. 

The royal family stood up, his eyes locking with the dumbfounded wolf and he restrained himself really hard not to laugh.
