LOGINThird Person's POVSabrina was nearly out of her mind with rage, her wolf teetering on the edge of a total meltdown. She let out a piercing scream."Adelaide! I will curse your name to the Moon Goddess every single night!"Adelaide and Paisley completely ignored her screaming, striding straight out without looking back.The Glenveil Pack's intel network was terrifyingly efficient. It only took one night for the entire truth to be compiled into a top-secret report sitting right on the desk.Rowena stayed up reading through the entire investigation and immediately summoned Alpha Winslow to her private sitting room.Even though her aura had thinned out with age, it still carried a heavy, intimidating weight."Tomorrow, you will kick Sabrina out of this pack and bring Wanda back. At the same time, dispatch our people to every crowded district in the capital to spread the truth and flip the public narrative protecting the Independent Cente
Third Person's POVIn reality, Adelaide had absolutely no intention of getting the Royal Marshals involved; she only brought them up to back Edgar into a corner and force a confession.Between his and Mabel's testimonies, they had finally pieced together the entire truth.The only lingering question was whether Winslow and his mother knew about Eleanor's actions and had been secretly covering for her all along.According to Adelaide's deductions, right as Eleanor's wolf spirit began to deteriorate, Alpha Winslow brought home a young, beautiful new breeder named Scarlett. The girl quickly won over the entire pack.Even Winslow frequently praised Scarlett's father as a highly respected scholar during official pack ceremonies. On top of that, every time he looked at Scarlett, his pheromones flared with intense desire.Eleanor's health took a sudden nosedive right after Scarlett arrived. To make matters worse, Scarlett got pregnant around the sa
Third Person's POVAdelaide and Paisley completely froze. Almost at the exact same time, they reached out and grabbed Mabel's arm in a vice grip."Who told you that? Give us the details, now!""I heard it a few weeks ago when I was picking up herbs from the apothecary," Mabel explained, eyes wide. "The owner's apprentice was gossiping about it. They said the Glenveils' witch doctor was secretly slipping small doses of monkshood into Scarlett's favorite venison blood soup, supposedly to balance out the gamey taste."Mabel had thought the whole thing sounded incredibly shady. She did some digging of her own and found out the witch doctor had been ordered to do it by someone in the shadows.Up on the top floor of the Stag Hunter Pub, the rich scent of malt ale filled the air, but it couldn't mask the heavy, tense atmosphere in the room.Edgar, a gray-haired, middle-aged male wolf, was grumbling to Ralph about internal pack politics. His pheromo
Third Person's POVShe caught her breath, her eyes sharp."I cornered one of the omegas, threw out a few threats, and she spilled the whole truth. A lot of those stories were completely made up. Wanda never abused them. They were the omegas serving the breeder; they barely had any interaction with Wanda on a normal day."Adelaide's wolf let out a vigilant howl. Sure enough, this was all tied to Eleanor.Eleanor was the absolute last person she wanted to be the mastermind.Over the years, Eleanor had poured her heart into the Glenveils without ever getting the recognition she deserved.She helped manage pack affairs and even acted as Winslow's plus-one to represent the pack at major events like the Inter-Pack Gala.But at the end of the day, she didn't have the title of Luna. Adelaide understood the survival rules of high-society werewolves all too well—none of the Lunas from the capital's elite packs probably gave Eleanor the ti
Third Person's POVStanley hadn't expected Hespere to be so blunt, piercing right through to his actual thoughts. For a moment, he froze, completely unsure of how to answer.Still, Stanley firmly believed that doing nothing meant making no mistakes. The Independent Center simply wasn't worth his precious daughter, Lycan Luna Camilla, taking any risks.Hespere knew her mate well enough to realize that his silence meant he wasn't convinced, so she didn't push the issue.A few days later, she took her most trusted omega maid and headed to the palace to meet with Camilla.Camilla Wall paused after listening to her mother's pitch about the Center.She shook her head gently, frowning."Mom, think about it. How could I possibly back Adelaide? Lycan Erasmus was against her idea from day one. As his Luna, I obviously can't support it either."Hespere was taken aback."Oh Moon Goddess... Camilla, are you absolutely sure you don't
Third Person's POVLance took another sip of his coffee, cracking a wide grin as he offered a genuine compliment. "I have to admit, Alpha—the coffee you've got here tastes incredible."Another half hour crawled by before Adelaide and Luna Hespere finally strolled back into the room.Lance stood up immediately, sliding a strong arm around Adelaide's waist."We've got other business to attend to, so we won't stick around for lunch. I assume I won't have to make a second trip."Stanley could only manage a stiff nod as he stood to watch them leave.Luna Hespere was miles more gracious, walking Adelaide all the way out to the territory's main gates."Adelaide, I truly believe we're going to be wonderful friends. Make sure you come back and visit me often.""Count on it," Adelaide said with a warm smile, waving goodbye.On the drive back, their carriage came to a sudden halt. Adelaide and Lance hopped out, instructing Ca
Third Person's POVUlrik's breath was heavy in the cold air, his pheromones sharp with cedar.His wolf claws curled inside his gloves, knuckles cracking.He strode toward Velda with steady, powerful steps, each one a heavy beat on the ground, radiating undeniable authority."Come with me to the Sto
