Adelaide’s POV

“Alpha Adelaide, Alpha Lance has sent a messenger with a letter for you,” Beta Valentine announced, handing me the letter.

“The messenger said it’s urgent.”

I quickly opened it. Inside were just a few words, “Adelaide, come to Redwood City immediately.”

It was signed by Lance.

I recognized his handwriting instantly.

The letter was brief–no details, just an urgent summons to Redwood City, with no mention of what to bring.

“Where’s the messenger now?” I asked.

“He’s in the dining room. After shifting, he ran all the way here without rest for three days. He’s exhausted and hungry,” Beta Valentine explained.

I immediately instructed, “Beata, pack a few sets of clothes and some travel essentials. Bring him over after the messenger finishes his meal. I need to speak with him.”

“Right away!” Beata hurried into the house to pack.

A while later, the messenger was brought to the conference room after his meal.

I was already dressed and ready. Looking up, I recognized Tommy.
