Third Person's POV
Dragon Ash's soldiers had seized many civilian homes. When the Western Tribes' army arrived, lacking accommodation, they'd driven residents from their houses.
Alpha Lance now decreed that all civilians could return home.
Werewolf warriors without shelter were to camp on open ground.
After this battle, Adelaide's fame soared.
Adelaide had distinguished herself in previous battles, but her latest feat—holding the supply depot with three thousand men and ensuring everyone ate meat—eclipsed her prior achievements in the soldiers' eyes.
The successful expulsion of the enemy from Frostbite Town was largely due to Alpha Lance capturing Victor from the Dragon Ash Wolf Kingdom.
Lance's informant in Frostbite Town had uncovered the tension between Victor and Solanke, which Lance exploited to capture Victor.
The Western Tribes sought Victor's execution, while the Dragon Ash Kingdom opted to retreat.

Third Person's POVAdelaide accompanied the Davidson family to the Frostfang Pack's wolf pack square to watch the theater troupe's performance.Cedric also attended, having once sneaked into a troupe to beg as a rogue and been driven out.Today, he sat legitimately, free from the fear of ejection.The tough times in the past made him appreciate everything he has now even more.As the orchestra's instruments began to play, the atmosphere lightened, and Adelaide's mood lifted.Life must go on step by step, and she was grateful for Cedric's presence.Adelaide rarely attended operas.The performance, selected by a Davidson family member's mate familiar with such occasions, was titled "The Moon Goddess Pact."This opera told the story of a werewolf warrior and the chieftain's daughter. Introduced by the council, the two mated in a ceremony. Soon after marriage, the warrior departed for the border war, leaving his mate to manage the pack alone for three years. She faced challenges in resour
Third Person's POVAdelaide put down her cup and raised her eyebrows, finishing Cynthia's sentence for her, "She thinks that a handsome and mighty werewolf general like Ulrik could never fail to win any she-wolf's heart, especially since I was once his mate. As his Luna, deeply in love with her Alpha, of course, I couldn't have moved on so quickly.""And since we've been to battle together, it's only natural that I'd choose Alpha Lance over him. With Lance's higher status, I could hold my head high and make Ulrik regret his decision, right?"Cynthia was left speechless. After a while, she murmured, "Did you eavesdrop on our conversation? How is it almost word for word?"Adelaide looked at her and said, "Luna Cynthia, please tell Gloria this: if she never loved, she need not worry about forgetting. Goodbye."Leaving the café, Adelaide was both amused and angry.What on earth was Gloria thinking, believing Sabrina's words?Sabrina's motives were clear to Adelaide.She'd heard about the
Third Person's POVAdelaide handed the receipt to the manager on the first floor. The manager promptly had someone bring over coffee, invited her to sit down, and personally retrieved the item.The manager was tall and thin, moving with agility. In no time, he returned with a box and presented it to Adelaide. "Please check it."She opened the box to find a large gold bracelet—a gaudy, oversized piece.Craig usually had impeccable taste, so Adelaide had high expectations for this gift. The bracelet, however, was a letdown.Its only merit was its weight and flashy golden luster, exuding an air of exaggerated luxury.The manager's grand reception was likely due to the bracelet's eye-catching nature.Though disappointed, Adelaide appreciated Craig's thoughtfulness.She tried it on briefly before quickly removing it and placing it back in the box—Starlight Jewelry Store was busy, and she didn't want to draw attention.After handing the box to Jasmine, Adelaide turned to find Luna Cynthia a
Third Person's POVWith only four days left until Adelaide and Lance's mating ceremony, Adelaide grew increasingly anxious as Irene's group failed to arrive.She approached Craig, who was working, and asked, "Has Irene messaged you? When will they get here?"Craig, carving a moonstone with a bone-patterned knife, looked up and said, "Oh, I almost forgot—Irene said they won't make it. She wants you to visit the Shadow Peaks with Lance after the ceremony.""Not coming?"Adelaide's disappointment was evident. "But they promised."Craig put down his tool and said with a wry smile, "You know how lazy Irene has become. She'd rather lie down than sit, especially in this snow. She'll stay by the training camp's fireplace. You can visit after the ceremony as per tradition.""What about Prunella and the others? Surely they can come?""If the teacher isn't coming, the students won't either," Craig said, polishing the moonstone."Since you left the Shadow Peaks at fifteen and rarely returned or w
Third Person's POVDigby acknowledged that Sidney doted on Adelaide.Yet, struggling to protect herself within the Blue Abyss Pack, how could she safeguard Adelaide?Alpha Zander's family guarded the frontier. Regulations barred them from casually returning to the capital.Even if Alpha Zander wished to shield his granddaughter, he was powerless.His sons had also suffered severe casualties: his eldest died early, the third lost his left arm, and the seventh fell in battle. The family had endured immense suffering.Digby knew Alpha Zander had pleaded with Lycan Erasmus to watch over Adelaide.Lycan Erasmus indeed favored Adelaide now, but...Digby sighed heavily. Many worries weighed on his mind. He hoped all fears were unfounded and that Adelaide and Alpha Lance could live a peaceful life.The next day, heavy snow blanketed the capital.Adelaide had anticipated the snowfall, hoping to play in it with Cedric.But with the mating ceremony only nine days away, she expected Irene and cla
Third Person's POVAfter Melinda spoke, she was assisted by an omega into the car.Adelaide watched her leave, a strange chill creeping up from the back of her neck, as if sensing something ominous.Back at the Packhouse, she still felt the cold and asked Jasmine to bring a hand warmer.Ivy, worried, asked, "Adelaide, are you feeling unwell?""No, I just suddenly feel cold," Adelaide replied, wrapping herself tighter in her fox-fur cape.The underfloor heating was on, and the air was filled with cedar pheromones.Ivy felt Adelaide's forehead. It was cold, prompting her to immediately contact Galvin at Cedric's residence.Adelaide wanted to refuse but couldn't withstand Ivy's insistence.Galvin arrived with a medical kit. After a quick check with a stethoscope, he said with a smile, "Don't worry. Adelaide's vital signs are stable. The old wounds from the battlefield are mostly healed. Just continue with the medicinal trea
