I nodded. “What do I need to do?”
“Sneak into Roz Town.” Gale’s eyes sharpened. “The town has a strategic location. Over the past few years, Adam has had multiple projects with werewolves from other packs, but the town has barely developed. I was hoping you could sneak in and investigate. You’ll need to find out whether those projects have any problems. It’d be best if you could find evidence.”
My eyebrows shot up in surprise. “Are you saying Adam’s pocketed the money?”
Gale’s expression turned cold. “Not only that. He’s ambitious. I know he has been in close contact with other packs these years.”
I immediately understood what she meant. Gale suspected that Adam was planning a rebellion. But this was a serious crime. Gale needed me to find concrete evidence from the projects that Adam handled.

Finding anomalies in accounts and contracts was something I was good at. I doubted there was anyone else in the Xeric Pack who was more suitable for this job than me.
Although it was dangerous, I knew I couldn’t refuse, so I readily agreed. “Okay, I’LL do my best.”
“To be honest, this can’t be delayed. You’ll need to leave now,” Gale added grimly.
“Okay.”
As soon as I returned to my place, I started packing for the journey Knowing that this was a dangerous mission, I decided not to take Elena with me. Instead, I asked Paula to look after Paula while I was gone.
Paula understood that I might not be back for a long time, so she brought Elena over to help me pack up my things.
Paula looked at me guiltily. “I wish I could go with you.”
Really? Then come with me. I could use your help,” I teased playfully.
“You’re so annoying!” Paula rolled her eyes and pouted, pretending to be aggrieved. “You know I’m not good at checking contracts and bills, yet you still poke fun at me. Alpha Gale would have ordered me to come with you if I could help.”
T chuckled.
Paula stopped pouting and also Laughed alongside me. “Anyway, since I can’t go, you’ll have to be my eyes. When you come back, tell me if you’ve seen any interesting werewolves, okay?”
Although her request was a bit funny, I nodded in agreement. “Okay, I’ll be your eyes.”
“Mommy, what are you doing?” Elena, who was playing with her dolls on the floor, looked up at me curiously. “You’ve packed so many things. Are you going on a trip?”
“Yes. I’m going somewhere far away.”
Hearing my confirmation, Elena immediately dropped her dolls and ran over to me.
“Mommy!”” She wrapped her short arms around my legs and acted cute. “I want to go with you! Can 1?”
Smiling apologetically, I shook my head. “Sorry, baby, it’s dangerous outside.”
