When the dismissal bell rang, I packed up my books and instinctively glanced at the empty seat beside me. Emily hadn’t come to school today.
I took out my phone and sent her a message, asking if she wasn’t feeling well. I waited for a while, but the screen never lit up with a reply.
I frowned, a faint sense of unease slipping in. Inside me, my wolf spirit, Alice, seemed to sense my mood and stirred slightly.
Then I told myself I was overthinking it. Maybe she had just overslept. I didn’t dwell on it.
But just as I slipped my phone back into my pocket, it vibrated again. Theo’s name flashed on the screen.
“Boss, he’s back again!” Theo’s voice came through the moment I answered, fast and tense. “I’m tracking him as hard as I can, but this guy’s slippery. My skills can’t overpower him. I can only barely keep him tied up.”
“Hold him there. Don’t confront him head-on. I’m on my way,” I said calmly, then hung up and stood up.
As I passed Josh’s seat, I patted his shoulder. “Help me ask for leave with the teacher. Something urgent came up.”
Josh froze for a second, then nodded quickly. “Got it, Boss!”
I didn’t waste any more time. I hurried out of school, flagged down a taxi, and headed straight for Skyspire Tower.
The moment I walked into our studio, I saw The glued to his monitor, fingers flying across the keyboard. Cold sweat covered his forehead.
“How is it?” I asked as I walked over.
“We’re still locked in a standoff. He’s not attacking the core system, but he keeps harassing our defenses. It feels like he’s doing it on purpos, just to provoke us,” he said through clenched teeth.
I nodded. Instead of jumping straight into tracking, I sat down at a computer and opened a new chat window, trying to contact him directly “What do you want?” I typed.
Less than two minutes later, a grinning emoji popped up in reply.

Theo lost it on the spot. “Who the hell is this idiot?! Is he messing with us for fun?!”

I frowned, my fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard as I sent another message, voicing the suspicion forming in my mind. “Did Mephisto send you?”
There was a brief pause on the other end. Then line of text appeared, dripping with provocation. “Mephisto? You could say that. But you’re pretty slow. You didn’t even know who was targeting you.”
Seeing Mephisto’s name confirmed sent a chill through me. My fingers tightened unconsciously.
Before I could reply, another message came through, every word laced with contempt.
“I heard your wolf spirit, Alice, has always been unstable. A female who can’t even control her own wolf spirit thinks she can compete for the Glacier Pack’s alpha position? That’s a joke. With a wolf spirit that unstable, you’ll be consumed by it sooner or later. Forget becoming alpha. You’ll be lucky if you’re still alive.”
Theo was practically shaking with rage. He rolled up his sleeves, ready to strike back. “That bastard’s asking for it! Boss, let me go at him!”
I raised a hand to stop him, a cold curve lifting at the corner of my mouth.
He was deliberately bringing up my wolf spirit and the alpha position to provoke me and throw me off balance. I wasn’t going to give him that satisfaction.
Inside me, Alice reacted to the provocation, her energy rippling with restrained defiance.
I took a slow breath and soothed her silently. “Don’t rush. We’ll make him pay.”
At my reassurance, Alice gradually calmed, her restless energy settling into a steady strength that stood firmly beside mine.
I ignored the taunting messages on the screen and began thinking quickly. If he dared to admit his connection to Mephisto, he clearly had something backing him up.
Right now, trading insults wasn’t the priority. What mattered was dragging this person out from the shadows and getting proof of his ties to Mephisto.
And after his reminder, I became even more certain that it was time for me to return to Glacier Pack.
Did that idiot Mephisto really think he could do whatever he wanted just because I had left?
It was time I went back and taught him a lesson, et him understand that the Glacier Pack’s alpha position was not something he could cover
