Amanda’s POV:

Jayden stood under the oak tree, the Windspire Pack’s uniform making his shoulders look even broader. The young alpha’s wolf spirit pulsed with nervous determination, like he had used up all his courage. “See you at the competition.”

After that, he gave a quick wave and walked away without another word, his stride firm and steady.

I stood there, confused. What was that all about?

Shaking my head, I didn’t bother to think about it. I pulled out my phone and called a ride. Not long after, I was back at the castle.

When I pushed open the gate, I saw Hugh and Samson playing chess under a tree in the yard.

“Amanda!” Hugh spotted me first. His eyes lit up as he stood and set his chess piece down. “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming back? I would’ve sent Samson to pick you up.”

I smiled. “It’s fine, Hugh. I got here just fine on my own.”

He took my hand and looked at me carefully, frowning a little. “You’ve lost weight. It’s only been two weeks!”

Then he turned toward the house and called, “Beata! Make some chicken soup for Amanda tonight. Add a little moonstone powder to boost her wolf spirit.”

“Got it, Mr. Hugh!” Beata Bird, the maid, called back from inside.

“Come on, Amanda. Play a round with me,” Hugh said, pulling me toward the chessboard. Samson quietly stood up and gave me his seat.

The board wasn’t regular chess-it was Howlstead’s version, where each piece was carved with a pack’s crest. The rules were more complex, involving wolf spirit energy and battle logic.

I’d learned a bit from my grandpa before, but I was still half a beginner. Facing a veteran like Hugh, I didn’t have much confidence.

“Samson,” Hugh said with a laugh, “help her out a little; don’t let her lose too badly.”

“Yes, Grandpa,” Samson replied in his deep voice, standing behind me.

Feeling slightly braver with him there, I picked up the piece marked with the Glacier Pack’s crest and made my move.

But Hugh was a pro. Every step he took was part of a grand strategy, like a real pack war unfolding on the

board.

Samson stayed silent behind me. Once in a while, when I hesitated, he’d tap his finger lightly on the table, right at the spot that could turn the game around.

Even so, I lost. Three rounds in a row.

I slumped over the table in defeat and turned to Samson. “Hugh told you to help me, not watch me lose three times.”

He simply said, “When it’s not your game, you don’t comment.”

Well, he wasn’t wrong.

I was speechless for a moment, then stuck out my tongue playfully. “Grandpa, you’re amazing! You always win me by one move ahead; did you do that on purpose?”

Hugh laughed heartily, patting the back of my hand. “You clever little pup! Losing with style is still impressive. You managed to hold your ground against me till the end; that’s no small feat.”

Then his expression turned serious. “So, training camp’s over. You’re heading to Ziecson next for the competition, right?”

“Yeah,” I nodded. “We leave tomorrow. The competition starts the day after, just for a few hours. It’s not only theory and math. They’re adding a real wolf spirit energy transformation test too. For every future Alpha, it’s a true power showdown.”

Hugh nodded thoughtfully, then turned to Samson. “Doesn’t the company have some ongoing business in Ziecson? Something about the energy field project?”

Samson gave a short nod. “Yes, part of the operations are there.”

Hugh’s eyes lit up immediately. “Perfect! Then you’ll go with Amanda tomorrow. You can keep her safe. Ziecson’s full of chaos, too many packs tangled together. It’s no place for a young girl to go alone. And since you’ve got business there, you can handle both at once.”

“That’s not necessary, Hugh. I can handle it myself,” I rejected quickly.

“It’s a dangerous world out there. You don’t understand what you’re dealing with,” Hugh said, waving his hand firmly. His tone left no room for argument.

“Ziecson isn’t just filled with pack representatives; it’s crawling with people who hunt for talent. You were framed once at the training camp. I won’t have you walking into another trap. With Samson there, no one will dare lay a finger on you. He’s calm, reliable, and one of the top contenders for Alpha King”

“But…” I hesitated, looking at Samson.
