Adrian stepped forward, placing a reassuring hand on Garretts shoulder. I understand, man.”
“Actually, there’s something I’m not sure if Ryder mentioned on the phone,” I said nervously. “That Rogue who helped me, Heck? He and two other Rogues will be joining Oasisbon Pack.”
Garrett’s lips curved into a smile. “He helped you, so returning the favor is only right.”

Garrett fell silent. After a moment, he looked at Adrian and me. 1 respect and trust your decisions.”
Adrien nodded firmly. “Don’t worry. If they cause trouble or break Onisbon Pack rules, 111 kick them out immediately.”
“Fair enough,” Garrett said with a nod, then changed the subject. “I’ve prepared all the materials for the final trial. Let me grab them for you.”
Late that night, our hotel room was dimly lit by a single warm yellow wall lamp.
Adrian sat on the edge of the bed, shirtless, his black hair still damp from the shower. A droplet of water slid down his sculpted collarbone onto his chest. I sat beside him, spreading out a thick folder containing information about the “Alpha King Final Trial.”
“Every final trial is different,” I said. “Last time, the theme was The People’s Choice. Candidates had to solve the most frequently asked problem by citizens, then people voted for the best answer.”
Adrian leaned closer. “What was the question?”
“How to solve the uneven distribution of medical resources. Candidates had to provide an actual solution on the spot, not just give a speech.” I turned another page. “Another year, they had one–on–one quels. Not just about winning though. They judged who could maintain the best balance between strength, rationality, and emotions.”
I looked up at Adrian. “Alpha Thomas won because his family owns medical businesses. He already had access to plenty of medical resources, so he performed better than the other Alphas in that final trial”
Adrian a lip curled slightly. “But after taking office, he never actually solved the problem of uneven medical resource distribution. Many wolf warriors from poor areas have died because they couldn’t get timely treatment.” His voice grew bitter. “Wolves like Marcus, born blind or with other disabilities, don’t get the help they need as children. They re abandoned in large number.”
I reached for his hand, squeezing it gently. “We can change all that. I know we can.”
