Alpha Claude was dressed in black pants with gold buttons. On his feet were dark brown boots that reached his calves. He was shirtless except for a coat he placed on his shoulders and a gold necklace around his neck.
His servant looked uncomfortable as Claude exited the room after Hilbert, but he knew there was nothing he could do to stop his Alpha. The servant had offered him several linen shirts, but he had declined.
The Alpha marched out of the room with his coat swaying behind him. Hilbert and Theo stood outside, waiting for him. They bowed simultaneously as he appeared. Theo did his best not to react to Claude's choice of clothing.
"Lead the way, you," Hilbert snapped at him as he stood next to his Alpha.
"This way, please," Theo said and walked in front of them, leading them downstairs. The drawing room was on the ground floor, just past the main entrance.
"What's your name, young man?" Claude asked as they walked.
