"Alpha, you're here, how did you convince Luna Marissa?" Damien asked, seeing that Bryce was able to step out without any issues.
"I didn't tell her about it; she would be worried if I did inform her about it, so I only told her I'd be back soon," Bryce replied, tucking his sword into its sheath.

"He should be here ------ oh, there he is," Damien pointed to Gray who was panting while he made his way to them.
"Why are you late?" Bryce demanded with folded arms.
"Brother, at least, let me catch a breather," Gray replied while panting heavily.
Bryce rolled his eyes in return. After a few minutes, Gray regained his normal breathing technique.
