Amanda’s POV:

After more than ten hours of flights and layovers, I finally landed in Isnesh. My eyelids felt so heavy I could barely keep them open.
As the only one in the team who spoke the native language, I had to stay sharp and communicate with the local guide the moment we arrived.
From arranging airport transfers to checking into the hotel, I handled everything in that complicated language. By the time I collapsed onto the soft hotel bed, my body had finally given in, and I fell into a deep sleep.
The Isnesh region was eight hours behind Eclipse, and it took me a whole day to adjust. By the third morning, I finally felt normal again.
The moment I opened my eyes, my phone buzzed with a message from Samson. “Ms. Sara, meet me in the hotel lobby at 8 a.m.”
I texted back, “Got it.”
Then I jumped out of bed, washed up, and got ready. I put on a black business suit, tied my chestnut hair into a neat low ponytail, and added thin-framed glasses for good measure. In the mirror, the woman staring back at me looked professional and sharp-nothing like Amanda at all.
Alice teased in my mind, “Nice disguise. Even if Samson stood nose-to-nose with you, he wouldn’t recognize who you really are.”
I smiled faintly, rubbing the small charm on my wrist for luck, and took a deep breath. Today was the start of our official collaboration. No mistakes allowed.
At exactly eight, I walked into the hotel lobby. Samson and his assistant were already waiting. Samson looked calm and powerful in a black suit, the silver wolf crest gleajning on his cuff under the light. His Alpha aura filled the air, calm but commanding.
“Ms. Cobbett!” his assistant greeted me warmly and handed me a printed schedule. “Here’s today’s plan. You’ll need to interpret throughout the entire day. It’s the main negotiation with Isnesh’s energy field representatives, so the workload will be heavy. Will that be okay for you?”
I glanced through the list. “No problem. I’m ready.”
We got into the van and headed straight to the mining zone. During the ride, I gave a quick briefing about the Isnesh region, sticking to general facts and avoiding anything too sensitive.
“You seem to know quite a bit about Isnesh,” Samson said, turning his head toward me. His tone was calm, but his eyes studied me closely.
I smiled faintly. “Back in college, I got hooked on an Isnesh fruit called the Isenberry. It was so good that I started reading about Isnesh culture. As for learning the language, that was just an elective. You could earn extra credits for picking a rare one.”

Samson raised a brow. “I can tell. You must’ve been a straight-A student.” The woman in the mirror looked about twenty. By the academy standards in Howlstead, that meant I’d graduated early.
“I started school early and skipped two grades,” I explained evenly. “So yeah, I entered college ahead of most people my age.” The future Alpha of the Glacier Pack had to go through elite training; skipping grades was normal.
“What school did you attend?” he asked.
