The Howlstead Foreign Affairs Department building looked strict and formal. I walked Jennifer to the door of her image management class, waited until she greeted the instructor and went inside, then quietly slipped away toward the end of the hall.
I hurried up to the third floor and peeked down the corridor. Samson’s office door opened a crack. No lights were on. It looked like he wasn’t here.
I took a deep breath, crouched down, dashed over, pushed the door open, and slipped inside. I closed it gently behind me. The whole move took only three seconds.
The office was silent. Papers were stacked neatly on the desk.
I pulled out the revised music sheet from my bag. I had stayed up two nights to finish it, fixing the melody and marking rhythm cues that matched wolf-spirit energy waves.
I didn’t say anything out loud. I set the score on the center of his desk where he would see it right away and pressed it down with a paperweight so it wouldn’t shift.
After that, I scanned the room to make sure I hadn’t left any trace. Then I opened the door slowly and slipped out just as carefully as I came.
Alan’s POV:
“No update yet?” I slammed the music draft onto the table. The papers snapped loudly.
One of my assistants replied, “Mr. Seven said he is still talking to Avi. He asked us to wait a little longer.”
“Wait? Wait how long?” I stood up sharply, the chair scraping back loudly. “Avi stopped writing three years ago. After the Glacier Pack incident, she disappeared from the public eye. Why would she suddenly agree to help us?”
The thought of losing the ambassador position and the wave of negative comments online made me want to break something.
“We already raised the payment to seven figures and offered her permanent VIP status at Eclipse Pack. But Mr. Seven says … Avi doesn’t care about any of that.”
His voice grew smaller. “He said she quit because she hated being pushed around by commercial interests. Trying to lure her with money might only offend her.”

“Hates commercial interest?” I let out a harsh laugh and grabbed my coffee, swallowing a bitte mouthful. “Who doesn’t care about profit these days?”
But I knew the truth. Avi’s “Wolf-Soul Whispers” really was pure music. No business packaging at all. Even now, that song remained the standard for soothing melodies across all of Howlstead.
“Instead of waiting for charity, I’ll write it myself!” I slammed the cup down. Coffee splashed onto the documents. “I refuse to believe that without Avi, I can’t compose a decent soothing melody!”
My assistant opened his mouth, then shut it again. Finally he whispered, “Mr. Ortega, you’ve stayed up three nights in a row. Maybe rest first? The Operations Department still has partnership papers waiting for your signature.”
