Knocks echoed down the hallway as we approached the operations room. The dog slid open automatically, and Freya and I hesitantly stepped inside. A massive oak conference table dominated the center of the spacious room, with maps and display screens covering the walls. Alpha King Nathan and Taric were already waiting, documents and a laptop spread out before them.

Both men looked up at the same time, surprise briefly crossing Alpha King Nathan’s face.

“You’re early,” he said, gesturing to the chairs. “Take a seat.”

“Thanks,” I replied, pulling out a chair. ‘Figured being late wasn’t an option.”

Freya sat beside me, hands clasped tightly on the table, knuckles white with tension.

“Relax, Taric said to her, his voice softer than I’d ever heard it. “This isn’t an interrogation. We just need to talk.”

“First things first,” Alpha King Nathan began, getting straight to business. “We’ve gathered some preliminary information about your pack and what happened to you, Freya, but we need you to verify it.” He opened a file folder. “But before that, I should mention that tonight, you two and Aria will be accompanying Alistair and Rowan to an event.”

“What do you mean by ‘gathering information about me’?” Freya finally spoke up her voice barely above a whisper. “My pack… are they… is anyone still

alive?

Alpha King Nathan set down the folder, his expression softening slightly. “Some members did escape to our territory. Based on their accounts and our intelligence, we have a basic understanding of the attack. I’ve spoken with the Alpha King in your region, who was relieved to hear of your survival.”

He paused, giving Freya a moment to process this, then continued: “But we can discuss those details later. Right now, we have more urgent matters.” His piercing gaze settled on Freya. “According to our investigation, you’re quite talented with computers. We’d like to arrange a special assignment that utilizes those skills. Would that interest you?”

“You haven’t even told me what it is yet, Freya said, raising an eyebrow. “But yeah, I’m intrigued. What exactly are we talking about?”

‘Our team excels at traditional tracking methods,” Alpha King Nathan explained. So far, we’ve investigated the Rogue King and his followers through strictly legal channels, with everything properly documented.”

His voice dropped, barely concealing his anger. “But after seeing what they did to you both the tracking devices, the abuse – I think it’s time for a different approach. We want to provide you with resources to help dismantle this organization while keeping your mind clear. Are you in?

“Hell yes! Freya nearly jumped out of her chair, determination flashing in her eys. “When do we start?”

Alpha King Nathan’s lips, quirked into a small smile. ‘Soon. You’ll need to complee some assessments first, but things look promising.”

I glanced at Freya, feeling happy for her but also sad at the thought she might entually leave.

“As for you,” Alpha King Nathan turned to me, interrupting my thoughts, “you have two important jobs tonight. First, stick close to Alistair and Rowan. No matter what happens, you three stay together, got it? The threat from the previo attack is still out there, and we don’t know if it’s connected to what happened at the university. We’re still investigating Robert’s attack, so pay attention to any suspicious conversations and report anything unusual

“Alpha King, Freya suddenly cut in, leaning forward. “Could I provide tech suppo for Evelyn’s team tonight? If possible, I’d like to equip het with tiny surveillance devices that work with facial recognition to gather intel. It could he the mission.”

Taric exchanged a surprised look with Alpha King Nathan before nodding. “Make list of equipment you need within the hour. Will you need to operate

these devices yourself?

“Yeah, the closer I am, the better,” Freya said thoughtfully. “I’d need a warrior with me for real-time communication through mind links. Cyrus would be perfect he’s your tech guy, right? If anything goes wrong, we could pretend to be a couple, and he could help me set up quickly. But I’ll need more

background info first.”

“Consider it done,” Taric agreed. “You and Cyrus can exchange information during prep. Can you list what equipment you’ll need?”

“No problem,” Freya grabbed a pen from the table. “But first, tell me about the first attack and how it connects to tonight.”

I took a deep breath and explained how Rowan, Aria, and I were attacked at the rest’s edge. Then I mentioned Robert’s revelation about his pack being attacked and absorbed by the Black Obsidian City Pack – ironically the most difficult representatives at conferences.

“So everything revolves around Alistair and Evelyn,” Freya observed while taking notes. She closed her eyes for a moment, like she was communicating with

her wolf.

She opened her eyes and pushed her list toward Taric. “This is what I need. Hopefully Cyrus will understand and add anything I missed. We should start preparing now, but I should also share what I experienced. It might connect to your investigation.”

She straightened her posture and placed her hands gently on the table. “The attack came out of nowhere. It was our annual celebration – a week of festivities, competitions, and dances that ended with my parents thanking the Moon Goddess in front of everyone. It was supposed to be sacred.

“The attackers clearly knew our schedule. Right as my father was giving the toast and we were drinking the ceremonial wine, strange werewolves appeared from everywhere. The weirdest part was that nobody smelled them coming.”

“All our warriors immediately formed defensive positions, including my parents. Omegas escorted pups and elders to safety. I started feeling foggy-headed in all the chaos. When I saw my mother attacked, I couldn’t even lift my arms my legs felt like they were made of stone.”
