Third Person's POV
The former Luna disliked Adelaide the most. "Adelaide may be the mate of a royal member, but she has no right to meddle in our Soulrend Pack's internal affairs. Even Luna Skye hasn't said anything. Adelaide is overstepping her boundaries."
But as cries echoed from the room, she shuddered all the same. "Wasn't one of Doctor Digby's subordinates in there? What's she doing?"
They climbed the stone steps, and in the outer room, all the women were gathered. Behind a single door lay Melinda's birthing chamber.
Melinda was in agony, writhing in pain. The bleeding on her forehead had stopped, but her face was swollen.
Dwight had pushed her down the stone steps, and Paige and Georgina hadn't been there to witness it.
By the time Georgina rushed over, Melinda had already fallen.
The steps weren't high, but with Melinda's heavy pregnancy, her head had struck the corner of the first step.
When Georgina lifted her, blood

Third Person's POV"Then put it to the test!"Paisley said with a grin. She looked up at Sophia and asked, "What kind of coffee is this?"Sophia put down the coffee cup and said, "This is the caramel macchiato brewed by Ivy today.""Perfect!" Paisley took the coffee and drank it while wiping her neck with the towel. Then she tossed the towel back onto the tray. "Alright, that's enough. You may leave."After Sophia left, Paisley said, "I don't like her."Adelaide laughed and said, "Don't deny it, she's quite useful. She's from the palace, after all. Beata's workload has been greatly reduced now."Paisley smiled and asked, "When do you plan to let Beata leave the pack? She should be looking for a mate."Adelaide sighed and said, "I was planning to find her a suitable mate after things settle down here for a while. I'll miss her, but she's my age and it's time for her to start a family.""How about Avery?" Paisley raised an
Third Person's POVChristine turned every word of Adelaide's over in her mind.She'd come because she suspected ulterior motives.She couldn't be sure of much, but she knew Alpha Germain had returned to the capital claiming Pandora was ill.They were supposed to be caring for Pandora, yet he'd first visited the Blackthorn Pack.And now, after meeting Gloria at the Blackthorn Pack, he was heading to the Ironclaw Pack. Christine found it hard to believe there was nothing more to it.As the future Luna of the Ironclaw Pack, she had her own keen insight, observational skills, and a knack for sensing danger.The capital was home to many powerful packs and prestigious families.Yet Alpha Germain didn't seek them out—he made a beeline for the Ironclaw Pack.It didn't take much to guess why. Tad held command of the Southern Border Legion."Christine, take him at face value. Just follow the usual etiquette," Adelaide said, noticing Christine's hesitation.She knew Christine well enough to gues
Third Person's POVRosemary, who highly valued reputation, sternly confronted Gloria. "You're carrying my son's child. Why did you go to the Hutchinsons'? Whose child are you carrying? Did you and Eugene rekindle your relationship after he returned, and you're carrying his child?"Gloria had long lost all respect for Rosemary.She coldly retorted, "We'll know the father once the child is born. Your claims of a rekindled relationship and me carrying another's child—if such talk spreads, won't it damage Ulrik's reputation? He'd become a laughingstock."With that, she turned and left.Inside, she was seething with tears. Though fallen on hard times, she wouldn't tolerate being trampled upon.The Bloodmoon Pack had no right to judge her. After all, she had lost two omegas there.Yet Velda still lived freely, well-provided for and comfortably housed.Ulrik had learned of Gloria's visit to the Hutchinsons' from his colleagues' whispers during duty.He felt utterly humiliated. Upon returning
Third Person's POV"See? This is you. This is what everyone thinks of you—mad, reckless, shameless, and without a shred of dignity," she said, grabbing Gloria's hand."Let's go. You wanted to see Cynthia? Let's go. Let's make her furious and then you can die. Then the pack will finally have peace."Gloria recoiled in terror, her breathing ragged."No, no! I'm not like that. I'm not mad. I won't go, I won't!"An omega helped Christine sit down as tears streamed down her face.She reflected on her life since joining the Ironclaw Pack.She had devoted herself to the pack, never neglecting Cynthia, Gloria, Tad, or even Tad's breeder's children.In the early years, when the breeders caused a commotion and Tad sided with them, she had endured a lot.She had worked tirelessly to secure Tad's position and reputation to protect their offspring.Everyone relied on her, but not everyone obeyed.Over the years, o
Third Person's POVAbigail threw herself into her grandmother's arms, burying her head there for a good while before lifting it again.Her eyes were red, but they sparkled as if every word she spoke was from the heart.Adelaide and Paisley exchanged glances, both feeling something was off.But since their mission was to persuade Abigail to give up, and now they could give Doug and Eugene an answer, they didn't press further.After leaving Doug's, they headed back to the Blackthorn Pack, planning to send someone to inform Eugene of the outcome.Initially, Adelaide intended to merely pass on the result, but after a moment's thought, she decided to have Paisley deliver Abigail's exact words personally.Though Adelaide was a bit slow in matters of the heart, she could sense Abigail's barely concealed distress after making her swift decision.Could it be that Abigail's feelings for Eugene were more than a fleeting fancy? Had they cr
