Semua Bab A Female Alpha’s Revenge: Bab 221 - Bab 230

Third Person's POVAs Rosmary thought more, she became more convinced. "Velda must have threatened Adelaide. Otherwise, with Adelaide's wealth, why would she bother to send someone to collect fifty thousand? She wouldn't care about fifty thousand, or even five hundred thousand."Ulrik snapped back to reality. "Don't worry. Velda can't threaten Adelaide," he said.Rosmary fretted, "Even if she can't threaten Adelaide, what if she purposely says something to upset her and badmouths you to the Ironclaw Pack? That could ruin everything."Ulrik shook his head, but inside, he was bitterly amused. He thought, "If Adelaide did intervene, it would mean she still had feelings for him."He even hoped she would.Then he jolted himself back to reality. What was he thinking?Adelaide and Lance's wedding was set. Even if she still had feelings for him, they were likely filled with resentment.After the messy dissolution of their mating bond,

Third Person's POVSabrina snorted coldly, her face darkening. "What kind of Luna? She's just a she-wolf who's lost her mate. Even if she's from the Ironthorn Pack, so what? When I'm with Alpha Lance and become his breeder, she'll have to bow to me."Ulrik was stunned. "What are you saying? Become Lance's breeder? Are you mad? Lance is bonding with Adelaide. When has he ever wanted a breeder?"Sabrina replied proudly, "If Priscilla agrees, I can become Alpha Lance's breeder. Wanda said Priscilla is afraid of Madison and does whatever Madison says. If I get Madison to like me, she'll recommend me to Priscilla."Ulrik snapped, "You're crazy! Why would Madison like you? And how can you become Lance's breeder? People like them will just use you. Don't be fooled."But Sabrina was stubborn. "I don't care. I'm going to be his breeder. Even if I get used, it's okay as long as Wanda helps me.""You stop this nonsense. Do you know what Wanda is like?"

Third Person's POVAdelaide froze. She knew Craig despised noise and socializing. He never sold his paintings and only gifted them to kindred spirits.Sometimes Klein would handle his artworks, not out of financial need, as Warscar Training Camp was well-funded, but because Craig's paintings were too numerous.Klein never appreciated art, claiming one's eyes were meant to witness the world's wonders, especially the flowers of the Shadow Peaks.Craig's indifference to art baffled Adelaide. She couldn't understand why Lance had chosen him as a teacher. Had she chosen Irene like her mentor, it would have made more sense."Why?" Adelaide asked."A party means you have to socialize with many people, chat with them. Most of them you can't relate to. You've always hated that—""It's fine. We all have to interact with various people in life. I've chatted with many at the Bloodscar Border. Sometimes I'd talk with hotel owners until dawn. I'm not mute. I can make polite conversation."Adelaide

Third Person's POVGiven their track record, it was unlikely Priscilla and Madison would let Adelaide slide.With Adelaide's mating ceremony with Alpha Lance imminent, they'd recommended Sabrina, a sweet-talking Bloodmoon Pack girl, to Priscilla.Their motives were clear to those in the know.Rowena ignored the drama, focusing on the delicious pastries and coffee.Priscilla was very particular about her diet, and her pastries were especially delicious. Rowena figured she might as well come to enjoy the tasty treats.Priscilla's event had its fair share of sycophants. After Priscilla's comment, many began subtly bad-mouthing Adelaide.It was unclear whether Madison had orchestrated it or someone was deliberately catering to Priscilla, but the remarks, though not openly derogatory, carried a clear tone of sarcasm.They superficially praised Adelaide for her war merits but implied that such a she-wolf would be hard to tame, suggesting Priscilla might struggle to control her and even risk

Third Person's POVMrs. Voss glanced at Wanda and Sabrina, her brow furrowing in confusion. "What does this have to do with Miss Davidson? Craig's visited the Frostfang Pack, announced a showcase of his paintings from the Bloodscar Border. Everyone's scrambling to attend—even Lycan Erasmus was there when I left.""What? Craig's at the Frostfang Pack? Hosting an art exhibition?"Several art-savvy ladies stood up, eager to rush over.Madison and Wanda's faces fell.Madison had always pretended to be a lover of art. She once nearly acquired one of Mr. Neil's paintings, but she dramatically tore it up in public, leading to widespread ridicule.This embarrassing incident left her with a deep-seated resentment toward Craig.Her pretense of artistic love was just that—a pretense. She neither understood nor truly appreciated art.Sabrina retreated to a corner, abashed and silent, simmering with envy, "Why did Adelaide have such a prestigious friend?"Madison and Wanda were left speechless.
