The next day as I was riding over to the Luna manor in the back of the limo, Stephen rolled down the dividing window and announced that he would be assisting me with inspecting the ventilation duct system.

“Where is Christophe?” I asked, trying not to sound disappointed.

“He has other matters to attend to, but has told me to inform you that he has not forgotten about the bet. He will join you for dinner tonight.”

“Good.” I nodded, though in honesty I had forgotten about the dinner.

Stephen provided a special electronic cable to look at the inside of the ducts, and it was strange to follow the pathway I’d taken to break into the house again. We fed the cable into the system through vent openings in several rooms, and it was my first time seeing more of the Luna mansion.

During all my research checking out the place before the heist, I’d always carried a feeling of distaste for the place, and for every place that I robbed. It was just a place that rich people lived in. Now, as I walked through the massive hallways lined with gigantic, antique oil portraits of regal looking shifters, I couldn’t help but feel awed. There was more than just wealth and money behind this place, there was history. I could see that, and even I could appreciate it.

“My family,” a voice echoed from down the hall behind me. I turned around, and saw Christophe walking towards us. He gestured up at the portraits. “Their faces are all over this house. Ancestors, going back almost to the beginning of the Luna line. Stephen, I’ll take over from here. Thank you.”

Stephen nodded, and quietly slipped away.

“I thought you had work to do?” I said. Now I was trying to hide how happy I was to see him.

“I did, but the thought of you wandering around alone… I was convinced you’d break something.”

I snorted. “I wasn’t alone, Stephen was here. And he’s a lot more knowledgeable about this stuff than you are.”

Christophe smiled. “So, what are we doing here?”

“I need to show you? You should pay me more.”

We continued to work on inspecting the different sections of ducting while Christophe talked about the history of his family, pointing to different portraits and telling me who was depicted.

“So, someday you’ll be up on these walls?” I asked.

“Someday,” he said. There it was again, that longing in his voice.

“You don’t sound so pleased about that,” I said.

He looked at me, surprised. “What?”

“Am I wrong? You sounded unhappy.”

“It’s my destiny to be the leader of this family,” he said, puffing up. “There’s no greater honor a son could have. It’s everything I’ve worked for my entire life, what I’ve been raised to do.”

“But…?”

Christophe seemed to be looking somewhere far away. He sighed. “There are times when I wonder if I’m missing something. Like there’s still some part of my life that I’ve yet to find. I don’t know if I can be the alpha meant to lead this family without it.
