Footsteps echoed from the entrance, and just like that, the noisy hall went quiet. Every head turned toward the doorway.

Samson led the way, flanked by Alan and Josh, with Derrick bringing up the rear. Four young men in sharp designer suits walked in together, tall and commanding, the kind of presence only Alpha heirs carry. Everyone’s eyes locked on them instantly.

“The Eclipse Pack heirs really are something-each one more impressive than the last. Especially Samson. I heard he just closed a deal with the Isnesh Pack and then made a fortune on Stone Gamble Street.”

“Alan is no joke either. As the werewolf ambassador, he managed trade between Eastveil and Westveil last month. Young, but capable.”

“Josh may be young, but his wolf spirit kicked in early. He’s going places with huge potential.”

“As for that illegitimate one … ” The chatter paused at Derrick’s name. Everyone knew he wasn’t born into the main line and had a shaky spot in the pack. No one said more aloud, and the vibe shifted fast.

“And don’t forget Patrick!” someone else chimed in, a warm tone full of admiration. “He’s one of Howlstead’s top fashion designers. His stellar gowns can stabilize mid-level Alphas’ wolf spirit swings. He’s won international awards. The Ortegas are stacked with talent!”

Hugh stood nearby, smiling as the compliments rolled in. He clasped his hands to the crowd. “All thanks to

I sat tucked in a corner on a couch, half-eaten pastry in hand, my fingers a little cold.

My eyes drifted to Samson. He wore a black suit with sharp shoulders, the silverwolf crest on his cuff catching the light. His wolf spirit aura made people instinctively step back, but no one could look away.

Just then, a clear voice rang out, “Samson!”

Samson’s POV:

Michelle’s sugary, over-the-top voice cut through the hum of the hall.

I didn’t even blink. That kind of shallow sweetness never got to me.

She stopped in front of me, holding a gold-stamped gift box with a big smile. “Good evening, Samson.”

Josh and Alan glanced over politely. “Good evening, Michelle.”

They’d had enough of her spoiled ways, but they weren’t about to make a scene with the packs allied.

“Josh, Alan, good to see you,” Michelle said, smiling at them before pushing the box toward me. “Samson, this is your birthday gift—a high-level energy wolf crest brooch.”

She spoke loud enough for nearby guests to hear, eyes sparkling like she was certain I’d be thrilled.

I just glanced at it and said flatly, “Thanks.”

No way was I taking it.

Seeing the tension, Josh jumped in. “Michelle, what’s that? You’re acting so mysterious.”

“I chose it carefully,” Michelle murmured, biting her lip and showing a hint of hurt. “Samson, will you accept it?”

I still didn’t respond. My gaze slid past her to the corner of the hall.

Amanda sat there, pastry in hand. Her moon-white dress made her look delicate and slender. Her waxy- yellow makeup was still odd, but somehow it made her feel more real than the polished ladies around us.

She seemed to sense I was looking. She lifted her head slightly, then quickly looked down, fingers tightening.

Normally, Alan might’ve stepped in to rescue Michelle. But today, he just looked away, letting the awkwardness linger.

“Boss!” Josh suddenly lit up like he’d found a lifeline, calling toward the corner, “Are you here to give Samson a gift too?”

Amanda clearly froze. Her pastry nearly slipped off her plate.

Caught off guard, she hesitated, then stood and grabbed Silverfang Atelier’s gift box from her small bag. She hurried over.

She stopped in front of me, gripping the edge of the box so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Her voice had a faint, hard-to-detect tension. “Here, Samson. Happy birthday.”

I looked down at the box. For some reason, I felt curious.
