Semua Bab A Female Alpha’s Revenge: Bab 631 - Bab 640

Third Person's POVAdelaide frowned. "You aren't going to raise the child yourselves?"She recalled Stanley saying he would personally arrange the child's placement.Heath sighed. "We can't bring the child back to the pack. And keeping her outside risks too many problems... Look, you know our pack's situation. My parents have a public image of a loving couple, and we can't let this damage that. We just have to let the women take the fall. Besides, Julia had an agenda when she approached my father. I don't really agree that she's a victim..."Adelaide cut him off. "This wasn't just my classification; it was Lycan Erasmus's ruling. If Julia wasn't classified as a victim, your Wall family would also be implicated. Furthermore, if Stanley had maintained his moral line, none of this would have happened. If you're looking for someone to blame, start with your own family.""I misspoke," Heath quickly apologized. "Please forgive me."Adelaide looked at him coldly. "I thought Stanley was a rea

Third Person's POVThe little girl wasn't shy at all. When she saw Paisley, who was wearing red, hold out her hands, the child reached right out for a hug.She seemed a little scared of Adelaide, though, probably because Adelaide looked pretty serious.Adelaide asked the nanny, "What's her name?"The nanny hesitated. "She's called Pledge. As for a last name, that's complicated now."In other words, the child was most likely named Pledge Wall before.Paisley's expression instantly turned grim.The name "Pledge" literally meant an "eternal promise."She wondered if Stanley had given the child that name as an eternal promise to Julia or a pledge to always protect his daughter.Either way, if Luna Hespere heard that name, she would be devastated.What had Hespere done wrong?For years, she had managed the pack's internal and external affairs, keeping everything in perfect order.She was also a genuinely

Third Person's POVAs twilight deepened and the sun sank below the horizon, painting the sky in layers of brilliant color, Adelaide and Paisley finally felt a measure of relief.The case wasn't fully closed, but it was in a holding pattern, allowing them to relax a little."Hunt is being executed tomorrow. Do you think the Shumans will even claim his body or handle the funeral?" Paisley asked."Hard to say." Adelaide's thoughts were still fixed on Hespere wanting to take the child.Paisley knew her well and immediately guessed what was on her mind. "You're thinking about Luna Hespere and if she's really going to bring that baby back to the pack?""That's what she said, but I'm not sure if it was a spur-of-the-moment decision."Paisley sighed. "Even though these children are victims of Madison's plot and completely innocent, why does Hespere have to bear all this pain and humiliation? The appearance of that child throws her stable life

Third Person's POVWhen a person is truly and utterly disappointed in another, they can reach a state of complete indifference.The next day, Heath went to the Pearwater Shelter to pick up Pledge.Adelaide was at the shelter, and Heath asked to speak to her privately. "Please don't worry, my mother will absolutely treat Pledge well and will not harm her. I have half-siblings from other breeders, and my mother has always been kind to them."Adelaide was direct. "I don't know your mother well, but I can see her character, so I'm not worried she'll mistreat the child. But there is one thing I need to clarify.""Yesterday, your mother asked me the child's name, and I told her the name was 'Lily.' Whether you continue to use the name 'Pledge' after you take her home is up to you."Heath sighed softly. "Thank you.""Since you're taking the child back to the pack, will you allow her to see Julia later on?" Adelaide asked.Heath nodded

Third Person's POVThe execution site was not a place for the faint of heart, and children were strictly forbidden—though no parent would have brought them anyway.Yet, the world is never short on people who crave a spectacle, and Hunt's status as a "Princess's mate" drew a huge crowd.After all, seeing someone so highly placed face execution was a rare event.This specific execution ground was usually busy in December when most death sentences were carried out.Around ten in the morning, Ellen arrived with the Capital Guard to establish order. They cordoned off the area with ropes, forcing the crowd back behind the boundary.Hunt was still at the Ministry of Justice, yet to be transported to the site.As was customary, the Ministry of Justice prepared a lavish last meal for the condemned.Hunt managed to hold himself together at first, but when the food was served, he began to tremble uncontrollably, unable to eat or spe
