Just as I was about to leave, Heidi suddenly spoke up.

“Rosaline, wait.”

I ignored her completely and walked out of the office without looking back.

The moment I stepped out, my phone buzzed with a message from Anthony, “Wilda, I found some basic information on Heidi.”

A surge of excitement shot through me. I immediately replied, “Send it to me.”

Within seconds, an email arrived. I opened it and scanned the contents.

Heidi, female, 21 years old.

“Height: 5 feet 2. Weight: Unknown.

“Father: Eric Tessford, a taxi driver in Rivemon, an Omega. Injured in a car accident two years ago, now has difficulty walking.

“Mother: Jenny Lovell, unemployed, an Omega, stays at home farming.

“Family was impoverished. Had an older brother who passed away at the age of eight.

“The Tessfords strongly preferred sons over daughters. Around the age of four. Heidi was kidnapped by traffickers. After that, there was a long gap in her records. Roughly in her teenage years, she was adopted by a werewolf family in Aurion, rising to Beta status under their influence. She eventually settled in Aurion.

“Six months ago, Heidi returned to her biological parents and started working as a resident singer at Chroma Lounge.”

I stared at my phone screen intently.
