We drove to the airport. On the way, Clay gave him "the lecture," including all the do's and don'ts of meeting the Alpha, which was only slightly more complicated than an audience with the queen. Don't sit until you're invited to. Don't talk unless he asks you a question. Don't eat before he does. Don't make direct eye contact. Jeremy demanded none of this, but that wasn't the point.
As they drove to the airport, Clay prepared Jeremy for his upcoming meeting with the Alpha. He provided a thorough briefing, outlining the intricate etiquette expected in such an encounter. The rules were stringent, resembling those of a royal audience, emphasizing the importance of respect and formality in their culture.
Despite Jeremy's indifference to the strict guidelines—such as not sitting without permission or avoiding direct eye contact—Clay insisted on their importance. The essence of the lecture wasn't about Jeremy's personal preferences but rather a necessity to maintain decorum and respect when interacting with someone of high status.
