Chapter 6
By the time Damian and the others reached Frostland’s pack transfer office inside Blood Moon territory, the transfer vehicle had already been gone for three hours.
After verifying Damian’s identity, the staff member looked up.
“What is your relationship to Researcher Aria Vale?”
“I’m her future mate.”
The staff member checked the file, then answered calmly.
“Researcher Vale has no registered mate and has never accepted an official mate mark. Your name is not on her authorization list.”
Damian’s expression stiffened.
“There was a misunderstanding between us. I only need to know where she was taken.”
“Researcher Vale has already completed her pack transfer. You belong to Blood Moon Pack. She now belongs to the Northern Pack. You have no authority to access her location.”
Rowan stepped forward.
“We grew up with her. We even shared childhood mental bonds. You should at least let us confirm that she’s safe.”
“Frostland is responsible for the safety of all classified-program researchers.”
“When can we contact her?”
“Once the classified period ends, whether contact is restored will be Researcher Vale’s decision.”
Asher’s brows drew together.
“We can’t see her even once in five years?”
“Not unless she personally submits a visitation request. Private letters and personal items cannot be forwarded without her authorization either.”
Julian tried another approach.
“We’re not asking for her exact location. We only want a few minutes to speak to her before she enters the research facility.”
The staff member closed the file.
“The transfer vehicle has already entered Frostland’s classified inter-pack transfer route. Outside parties cannot track, intercept, or approach it.”
He paused.
“More importantly, before departure, Researcher Vale explicitly declined to provide any contact access to members of her former pack.
Damian’s fingers tightened.
“Did she leave any message?”
“That was part of her private application. We are not authorized to disclose it.”
For the first time, the staff member looked at the four of them with something close to confusion.
“If you truly grew up with her, you should have known she was entering the program today.”
“And you should have known she didn’t sign an ordinary academy application.”
All four of them fell silent.
