At the entrance of the energy field, the Isnesh Pack’s reps were already waiting. As soon as our car stopped, they lit a long string of firecrackers. It was their traditional way to welcome important guests.
“This is a local custom,” I quickly explained to Samson. “Energy firecrackers not only show respect but also help stabilize the alpha’s aura at the scene.”
When the loud crackling finally ended, Samson opened the door and stepped out.
The representative greeted us with a bright smile and a firm handshake. “Welcome, Mr. Ortega. I’m Kadyn Blythe, head of the Isnesh Energy Field. We’re honored to have you here for the project inspection.”
I interpreted smoothly, “Mr. Ortega, this is Mr. Blythe, the director of the energy field. He welcomes you on behalf of the Isnesh Pack”

After taking his first bite, Samson barely took another bite.
Sitting beside him, I could see the quiet endurance in his eyes.
Halfway through dinner, I excused myself to the restroom. On the way back, I stopped at the front desk and asked for a bottle of chilled energy yogurt-a local specialty here. It contained a mild wolf-spirit stabilizer that helped ease both greasy food and light alcohol burn.
“Mr. Ortega, have some yogurt,” I said, handing it to him. “Once this meeting wraps up, I can take you somewhere that serves spicier food.”
He took the bottle, his fingertips cool against mine. “Thanks,” he said quietly. As the cap twisted open, a faint milky aroma mixed with energy particles filled the air. He lifted it and drank more than half in one go. The tension in his brow finally eased a little.

toast after toast. The fruit wine looked clear and sweet, but its kick was brutal. It was made from lumigrape, a native fruit that carried a low-level energy pulse. Too much of it could stir up an Alpha’s wolf spirit and cause dizziness.
