Emily threw her arms around me in a tight hug, squeezing so hard I couldn’t breathe. “Okay, okay, you’re crushing me,” I laughed, patting her back.

“You have no idea how much I missed you! It felt like forever.” She linked her arm through mine as we walked toward class. Emily suddenly lowered her voice and said, “Oh, right-Amanda. Guess what? Regina’s getting engaged. She even came to school a few days ago handing out invitations.”

The name didn’t stir anything in me anymore. I just said calmly, “That’s her life. It’s got nothing to do with

me.”

Emily frowned, clearly upset. “I still can’t stand it! People like her pull every dirty trick in the book and still end up happy. Her fiancé is supposed to be a well-known future Alpha. Tell me that’s fair! Don’t bad people ever get what they deserve?”

Her frustration made me smile. I reached out and ruffled her hair. “Hey, stop overthinking it. Let them live however they want. We just focus on our own goals, okay?”

My words seemed to lift her mood. She nodded and grinned again. Together, we stepped into the classroom.

Samson’s POV:

The words “Not going” glared at me from the screen like a nail driven into my mind. That was the reply I’d received last night.

The Isnesh Pack lived in the southwest region of Howlstead. Their unique language blended ancient runes with local dialects, hard to read, harder to master. Only a handful across the Howlstead could use it fluently.

This new partnership between Eclipse Pack and Isnesh Pack was critical. It involved the shared rights to a prime energy field. If we succeeded, it would give our pack a stable supply of wolf-spirit energy, strengthening our future growth.

I pressed the intercom. My assistant entered quickly, looking uneasy. “Mr. Ortega.”

“Any luck finding a translator for the Isnesh language? Send me their résumé.”

He lowered his head. “Mr. Ortega, not yet. We’ve contacted every university that teaches the language, but none of their graduates are qualified.”

My fingers tapped against the desk, faster and faster. I stared at the screen again, at those two cold words. After a moment of hesitation, I typed, “Name your price. Money isn’t an issue.”

But then I paused, thinking it might sound too cold. I added another line, “If you have any concerns, we can talk in person. As for payment, you can set the amount yourself.”

As the future Alpha of the Eclipse Pack, I’ve never needed to bow to anyone. But this time, for the sake of

the pack, I had to lower my pride.

“Go handle it,” I waved my hand at my assistant. “Keep searching for a translator. The moment you find one, let me know.”

“Yes, Mr. Ortega.” He nodded and left the office. I lowered my head to sort through the mining cooperation file. The door suddenly pushed open again.

“What else?” I asked without looking up, assuming it was my assistant returning.

A warm, familiar voice replied, “It’s me.”

I looked up in surprise and stood up from my seat. “Grandpa? What brings you here today?”

He smiled, walking over to the couch. “I was bored at home and thought I’d come check on you. You’ve been busy with the mining project lately. It must be exhausting.”

I handed him the financial report on my desk, which listed the monthly energy revenue and distribution. Grandpa always checks on it.

“Here’s this month’s report. Take a look. I have a cross-pack meeting later about the energy transport plan.”

But instead of reading it, Grandpa set the folder aside and looked at me with a thoughtful expression. “No rush. I came to talk about something else.”

His eyes gleamed with quiet calculatión. “Your birthday’s coming up. Any plans?”

“Birthday?” I paused, realizing it was only two weeks away.

I’ve never cared much for birthday celebrations. Every year, we’d just have a family dinner and discuss pack affairs. It was simple and efficient.

“Nothing special. Let’s just do what we always do.”

“That won’t do. Our pack hasn’t had a proper gathering in ages. Let’s throw a real party this time. We’ll invite the core members from other packs. It’ll be good for networking and strengthening alliances.”

I frowned, ready to refuse, but his eager eyes stopped me. The protest died on my tongue.

“Grandpa, I’ve got too many projects on my plate right now. I’m supposed to travel to Isnesh Pack in a few days,” I tried to reason.

“That can wait. You can bring an interpreter with you,” he said firmly, leaving no room for argument. “I’ll handle the party arrangements. You just show up on time.”

He’d made up his mind. At that point, saying no would’ve been pointless. I sighed softly. “Alright. Whatever you say, Grandpa.”
