Ethan led the SWAT team to meet up with the Falindale division. Each operative had a silver cartridge etched with a wolf-head insignia strapped to their waist.
They''d been preparing for days-for this exact moment.
Before the operation began, Ethan looked over his 12 team members. Each one had a moonshade patch on the back of their neck-emergency equipment designed to suppress berserker symptoms from Heartrot Resin exposure.
"That drug messes with our instincts," Ethan said firmly. "I brought you here in one piece-I''m taking you back the same way."
"Understood, Ethan!" the team echoed.
Silver bullets gleamed from their holsters, every round soaked in wolfbane extract.
"Move out!"
At the same time, Landon and Nathaniel arrived in Falindale.
"Alpha, should we call Tessa?"
Tessa was in Falindale too. Now that they''d arrived, Nathaniel figured Landon would be dying to reach out.
"No. I''ll call her when this is over." Landon knew-if Tessa found out they were in danger, she''de charging in, no matter the risk.
"Understood. Should we go straight for the target?" Nathaniel asked.
He had already arranged their men.
"We wait. If Ethan''s team can take him down, we''ll let them handle it."
After all, it made sense for the official SWAT team to be front and center on this.
"Got it."
Outside, several modified ck sedans were parked and ready.
Landon got in. Nathaniel shut the door behind him before taking the front passenger seat.
This was going to be a tough fight. He just hoped Ethan could pull it off.
Back at the Night Guild safehouse-
Dream was still pestering Tessa. “Tessa, are you sure you don''t wanna go? This could be our one and only shot."
"Besides, fighting a drug lord this dangerous could really boost mybat experience!"
Tessa couldn''t shake her off.

She had originally nned to find the drug lord alone, but clearly, there was no leaving Dream behind now.
"Let''s go."
Tessa stood up.
The moment she said it, Dream jumped to her feet and enthusiastically fetched abat suit for her.
It was custom-made by Night Guild-near indestructible, with scent-blocking tech to avoid tracking.
Tessa and Dream both changed. d in all ck, caps pulled low over their heads, they looked like shadows themselves.
Dream tossed her two guns loaded with silver bullets.
They were dealing with a drug dealer who wielded Heartrot Resin-firearms weren''t optional.
Tessa caught them, checked the magazines, holstered both guns, and put on a pair of dark shades.
Seeing her like this again-Dream couldn''t help but feel awestruck.
It had been so long since Tessa looked this cool.
That slim-fit ckbat gear hugged her figure perfectly, and her long, straight legs made heads turn.
"What''re you staring at? Let''s move."
"Tessa, maybe wear a mask too?" Dream handed one over. "You''re way too eye- catching. That''s dangerous."
Tessa took it and stared at the mask, unused for so long. A flicker of emotion crossed her face.
The drop point was by the sea. As Dream drove them there, she nced over and said, "Tessa, it''s been a while since yourst mission, right? Be careful tonight. Don''t get hurt."
"You should worry about yourself. Just don''te begging me for help."
All the big names in the werewolf world would be at this scene tonight-every one of them an elite fighter,
"Hmph. I''ll have you know, I''ve leveled up big-timetely. You''ll see what I mean soon enough."
They arrived at the deal location.
Dream couldn''t help but mutter, "Seriously, this guy''s guts are something else. He dares to show up on Alpha Landon''s turf? Has he never heard of the bounty Landon ced on his head behind the scenes?"
At the mention of Landon, Tessa paused slightly.
She had no idea what he was doing right now.
They were supposed to video call every night-but he still hadn''t reached out...
