The Cross Connection

The air in the courtroom crackles with tension as the fearsome werewolf prince, Daniel Rodriguez, takes his throne. His younger sister, the sweet Queen Ariel, smiles beside him.
A minister steps forward, reporting peace in the kingdom, save for one defiant Alpha.
"Who's the alpha that dares to disrespect our rules?" Daniel's voice is calm, but the courtiers know better.
"Al-Alpha Anthony Gonzalez," the minister stutters.
Daniel rises, his decision made. "I'll look into the matter." He exits the courtroom, leaving a sense of unease in his wake.
A week later, in the eastern part of Iris, you hum a tune as you pluck roses, a rare moment of peace shattered by the door's bell. Your father enters, sober for once, with unexpected news. "Make food for three. We have guest for the evening."
