“Forget Ethan.” Dream leaned in. “Tessa, listen up–this drug lord’s worth a hundred million! The International Werewolf Council put out the word: whoever catches him gets the reward. No questions asked.”
Tessa felt something was off. “So?“.
Dream gave a sheepish smile. “Well, Night Guild’s running a little low on funds. I figured, why not catch him ourselves? Take out a menace to society and earn a hundred million!”
Tessa stared at her, unimpressed. “So that’s why you’ve been begging me to come back? Because you’re broke?”
This wasn’t some easy target. Even Ethan couldn’t handle him.
They were talking about the number one most–wanted werewolf in the world. A man so dangerous, even elite werewolf SWAT teams had been torn apart by the packs he’d manipulated using Heartrot Resin.
Still, at least Dream had some sense. She hadn’t gone after him alone–she’d dragged Tessa in instead. Otherwise, if anything had gone wrong, Tessa would’ve been picking up her corpse right now.
Dream grabbed her hand. “Tessa, come on! This guy’s an SSS–level fugitive! If you catch him, your name’ll be everywhere!”
Just imagine how many people would be lining up to curry favor with them!
Just the thought of it was intoxicating.
“Sorry. Not interested.” Tessa spoke flatly, pretending she didn’t care.
The man was far too dangerous. She didn’t want Dream getting involved.
If she got the chance, she’d take him out herself.
“You don’t want to be like Shadow? Admired by everyone?”
“No.”
While they were talking, the drug lord was just about done eating. He stood and walked out with the briefcase in hand.
Dream wasn’t in a rush. She’d already mapped out his routines over the past few days. She knew exactly where he was going–no need to panic.
“Seriously, Tessa. You act like you don’t care about anything. What do you care about?”
Tessa was a total enigma.
But she honestly hadn’t expected to run into Ethan and his team here again.
So they were after the drug lord too?
Ethan spotted her the second he walked in. At first, he thought he was seeing things. But after a few more glances, he was certain–it really was that cold, distant girl.

She’d always been the hoodie–and–T–shirt type. He never imagined she could look this stunning in a dress.
Simon was completely stunned.
Holy crap. Ethan. Are my eyes playing tricks on me, or is that really Tessa?”
He’d always thought that whole “goddess descending from the heavens thing was just exaggerated nonsense. No woman could really be that beautiful
But now, he finally got what people meant
Yeah, that’s her.” Ethan confirmed. “Go find a seat. Don’t blow our cover.”
Tessa knew them, and they were here on a mission. The last thing he needed was for them to be exposed.
“Yes. Ethan
Simon rushed of to regroup with the others. As much as he wanted to gossip about Ethan and Tessa, this was work. He shoved all his nosy thoughts to the side.
Ethan walked over to Tessa’s table and asked politely, “May I sit here?”
The moment Ethan entered. Dream had clocked him.
She picked up on the official authority pheromones he carried. She was just about to decline when Tessa gave a slight nod
“What–wait, you two know each other?” Dream’s curiosity flared instantly.
Tessa gave her a look.
