Third Person's POVSidney gripped Adelaide's wrist tightly, glancing outside, her breathing labored.The ashen wolf fur at the back of her neck brushed against the silver bracelet on Adelaide's wrist. Cedar pheromones mixed with a shuddering tone, "Listen to me, Germain's no good. He and Madison have been scheming secretly for years."Adelaide's moon mark blazed hot at the nape of her neck. Silver-blue blood beads welled from her elongated claws."What?" she gasped.Her pupils slit like ice in the candlelight. The Alpha presence of the Shadowfang Pack surged, frost spreading across the carpet. The hot cocoa Paisley brought in trembled and rippled.Adelaide swiftly dismissed everyone and posted Paisley on guard.Paisley stood at the door, her ears flattened from the Alpha aura."Sidney, what do you mean?" Adelaide pressed.Sidney's head sagged. Her sulfur pheromones reeked of fear. "For years, he's been secretly recruiting private forces in Blue Ridge State, funded by Madison and Maya.

Third Person's POVAdelaide felt her moon mark flare with silver-blue sparks. Her cedar pheromones, icy and sharp, targeted Crispin. "Nothing! If you truly cared, why not visit her yourself?"Her pupils slit like ice under candlelight, her Alpha aura from the Shadowfang Pack causing the crystal chandelier to tremble and shed dust.Crispin's wolf ears trembled in fear as he glanced at Germain for help—only to see his father's indifferent, bristling gray fur and his dragon musk pheromones laced with suppressed decay."I... couldn't get away from the academy," Crispin stammered, embarrassed."Is that so?" Adelaide's claws dug unconsciously into the armrest. "Was the entire Blue Abyss Pack too busy to send more than two omegas to care for her?"Her aura made Liz's hot cocoa bubble. "Without Doctor Digby's help, how long could she live on wolf blood at the convalescent center?"Liz's pheromones swirled under her skirt. She stood up, brushing against Carla's shoulder. Her mint pheromones ca

Third Person's POVPriscilla coaxed Lance in a tone one might use with a child, then turned to see him still standing there and promptly asserted her maternal authority. "What are you waiting for? Take Adelaide back. Look at her icy hands—show some concern!"Lance was taken aback by his mother's unusually sharp tone.Though occasionally scolded as a child, since he'd joined the military, his mother had treated him with increasing reverence, and their relationship had grown distant.Especially after he left the palace and became the Alpha of the Blackthorn Pack, their relationship grew even more distant.Their interactions were either polite or dismissive, and this direct rebuke was unprecedented.Glancing at his mother, Lance took Adelaide's hand and led her to their room.Priscilla sat back in her chair, reflecting on how rare it was for her to reprimand him so sternly. Marriage, it seemed, had softened him.Noticing Paisley still sulking, Priscilla thought of Sidney's lonely death.

Third Person's POVPandora hurriedly inquired about everyone's latest news.Germain approached Madison and greeted her, "Madison, long time no see."Though they were siblings, they shared the same birth year and month, only two days apart.Madison responded, "You haven't returned to the capital for two or three years, have you?""Yeah, my last visit was to help Sidney with the mating ceremony for Adelaide from the Frostfang Pack," Germain said, his eyes cold and devoid of his former simplicity.At the mention of Adelaide, Madison tightly gripped her cloak and stepped aside in silence.Germain followed and asked, "What's the matter? Do you also harbor resentment towards this Adelaide?"Madison replied coldly, "Resentment? I'd sooner strike back at her with all my might."Germain mused, "She is the daughter of Alpha Bentley."At the mention of Alpha Bentley, Madison's eyes brimmed with hatred, her body trembling with it.In a frigid tone, she said, "I can never forget how Alpha Bentley

Third Person's POVYvette, who had attended the mating ceremony, suddenly chuckled from the side. "You wouldn't believe how nervous Lance was that night. He wouldn't even let people near the villa. Such a considerate and enviable mate."Margot rolled her eyes at her. "Is your own husband not good to you? I heard he makes you breakfast every morning."Yvette's face turned red in an instant. "Margot!"Adelaide smiled faintly, lifted her water cup, and took a sip.This harmonious atmosphere was truly pleasing.She tried her best not to dwell on unpleasant matters.Celebrating Christmas at the palace, even a hint of sorrow was inappropriate, and she had long grown accustomed to suppressing her emotions.They were discussing Melinda's mate, Dwight—a prideful werewolf who had taken in two breeders.One was a call girl from the red-light district, exceptionally beautiful, for whom Dwight had paid a $300,000 breach of contract fee.The other was the daughter of a businessman. It was said she
