Derrick remained expressionless, but his tone had that edge. “Since when do you care about me?”

“I don’t,” I said, turning to face him. My voice stayed steady, but there was no room for debate. “Just a warning-don’t mess with her. She’s not someone you should be playing around with.”

Amanda’s background was complicated. She was hiding too many secrets. Derrick’s obsession would only drag her into danger and get him burned in the process.

He gave a short, mocking laugh. “Who she ends up with isn’t your call. We’ll see who wins.”

He’d never listened before, and now that he liked someone, there was no stopping him.

My eyes narrowed as that faint Alpha’s aura slipped out of me on instinct. The air grew tense instantly. “So you’re really gonna keep pushing this, huh?”

I didn’t wait for an answer. I turned and walked away.

Derrick was still too young. He didn’t understand how deep Amanda’s secret went or what kind of chaos he might start by messing with her.

His stubborn attitude could destroy him and even ruin everything I’d planned. I still didn’t know what Amanda’s real goal was or what history she shared with Sara. I couldn’t let Derrick’s emotions mess up the bigger picture.

The next morning, I stepped out of my room and almost bumped into Josh in the hallway. “Morning,

Samson!”

I was a little surprised. Josh was usually dead asleep till noon. “You’re up early.”

“I had to give you this!” He flashed a grin and pulled out a black velvet box from behind his back. “Happy birthday! Take a look and see if you like it.”

Then it hit me-April 6. It was my birthday.

I opened the box and saw a shiny car key inside. It was for that limited-edition energy sports car I’d mentioned once. The engine even had a low-grade wolf spirit stabilizer. It was top-tier stuff in Howlstead.

“This is your favorite one,” Josh said, looking proud but also nervous. “The new model just came out. I had to pull some serious strings to get it.”

I smiled and patted his shoulder. “Appreciate it.”

Alan showed up then, calm as always. “Happy birthday, Samson.”

Josh looked at him, grinning. “Where’s your gift? Don’t tell me that’s it.”

Alan’s smile turned sly. “Relax. You’ll get it tonight.”

Chapter 144 Happy Birthday

“Ooh, secretive. Fine.” Josh pouted but didn’t press.

We chatted on the way downstairs. The second we reached the living room, Amanda appeared on the

staircase.

“Boss, it’s Samson’s birthday. Did you get him anything?” Josh asked.

Amanda froze for a second before blurting out, a bit awkwardly, “I … forgot.”

Josh quickly tried to make it less awkward. “No worries. We’re having a party for him tonight anyway. You can give him your gift then.”

She nodded. “Okay.”

“Come on, I’ll give you a ride to school,” I said, breaking the silence and heading for the door.

The drive was quiet. Neither of us said a word.

When we pulled up to the school gate, she unbuckled, hesitated a moment, and then looked at me and said softly, “Samson, happy birthday.”

Her tone was light, but there was a touch of real warmth in it. The usual guarded look in her eyes had faded a little.

I met her gaze and smiled. “Thanks. Focus in class, alright?”

Amanda’s POV:

I waved Samson goodbye and walked into the training camp, but something felt strange.

The hallway that was normally full of chatter was unusually quiet. People passing by kept sneaking glances at me-curious, whispering, and maybe a bit jealous.

Feeling puzzled, I went into the classroom. I had barely taken my seat when Jennifer and Clara popped up beside me, both yelling, “Amanda!”

I nearly jumped out of my chair. “What’s with you

two?”

Jennifer could hardly keep it in. She leaned closer, her voice buzzing with excitement. “Congrats!”

Clara nodded, grinning. “Yeah, congrats!”

I stared at them. “For what?”
