Adelaide's POV

After talking with Beata, she prepared afternoon tea for me.

The glass container held homemade vanilla ice cream, its sweet scent mingled with fresh blueberries Beata had just picked.

Our shadows on the basalt countertop were shattered by the loud crash of iron armor.

"Adelaide!" Ulrik's howl made the starlight chandelier above tremble. "How long do you plan to keep up this farce?"

"Beata," I said, watching the melting ice cream—a three-hour labor of love from Beata—slip down the counter, "clean up the glass. Ulrik and I need to talk."

Once Beata's footsteps faded upstairs, I looked up at the Alpha, his hackles raised. "Want to discuss Shaman Digby?"

Ulrik's slit pupils burned crimson. "How dare you?"

I smirked, unleashing my wolf's aura.

"Why shouldn't I? Maybe the Tenar family should ask why the most reputable shaman, Digby, refused to treat Luna Rosemary. His contract clearly states—If the employer dishonors the healer, the contract may be voided."

    Third Person's POV"Alpha Ulrik, you should budget better for your wedding—need a loan?" Adelaide's taunt followed him.Ulrik's boots paused on the marble, then quickened.He'd rather video-call Velda about cost-cutting than face her mocking silver-blue gaze.Beata emerged from the kitchen. "If Alpha Ulrik really asks for money, would you lend it?"Adelaide, massaging her aching jaw, replied, "Of course—at Wall Street rates. Due in full, with interest.""What if he doesn't repay?""Then daily debt collectors it is. Bloodmoon isn't going anywhere."She glanced toward the kitchen, where blueberry pancake aroma wafted. "But he'll likely convince Velda to simplify the ceremony. 'Bloodclaw Medalist's modest wedding' sounds like good PR."Adelaide suddenly eyed the glass jar on the counter. "Any ice cream left?""Half tubs of strawberry and vanilla," Beata brightened. "I'll get them. The Frostfang guards deserve some too—they've packed their suitcases in the garage, just waiting for Lycan E

    Adelaide's POVAfter handing over pack management, I secluded myself.I only interacted with the Omegas and guards from Frostfang, even dining in my private kitchen.Meals were prepared by Omegas Ivy and Jessica.Recalling how I'd disbanded the Frostfang guards and Omegas I'd recruited, I knew Bloodmoon was in chaos.Tamara had to temporarily promote low-ranking wolves to fill patrol gaps.With the bonding ceremony approaching, guard shortages worsened.The recruits I'd trained were long gone, and the remaining Omegas struggled to support the Tenar family.Word reached me that when Tamara reported to Rosemary, the old matriarch raged, demanding I fund the crisis.Vanya approached me next, but left without requesting more funds.Omega Jessica informed me Bloodmoon was selling assets."Expected their last resort," I said.Jessica fumed, "When the pack was broke before, you used Frostfang assets. Why not sell shops now?""Not the same," I smiled. "Luna Rosemary's waiting for Velda and Al

    Third Person's POVRosemary's bedroom glowed with crimson light throughout the night.When Ulrik announced his plan to reject and exile Adelaide, former Alpha Isaiah objected first. "Exiling her will make you a target for public outrage—self-sabotage."Simon added, "Father's right. Many wolves loyal to Adelaide's father helped you earn your merits. Lose them, and your standing crumbles.""But she blackmailed me with my mother's life!" Ulrik's face darkened. "I won't tolerate this!"Rosemary, recovering from her illness, seethed at Adelaide's "treachery."She rasped, "No—she must be exiled! Once gone, she won't take a penny of Frostfang's wealth."Ulrik frowned. "I'm not after her money—""Why not?" Rosemary clutched her aching chest. "If she's exiled, her assets default to Bloodmoon. With that wealth, Digby's services are assured. You've seen our empty coffers—we sold shops to fund your ceremonies!"Isaiah urged, "Rosemary, focus—reputation or wealth? Choose wisely!"Rosemary's face t

    Third Person's POV"I've already decided to reject her tonight, but rest assured, I won't take her wealth. I'm not bullying her—she's gone too far," Ulrik said, stroking the silver wolf-head pendant at his throat, a symbol of his Alpha status.Velda's fingertips traced the oak table, leaving faint claw marks in the moonlight."This isn't about disrespect—it's outright elder endangerment!""So you agree with rejecting her?" Ulrik pressed.Velda's pearl earrings gleamed in the night air.She weighed the consequences.Rejecting Adelaide posed risks to their future.But whenever she pictured Adelaide's striking face, a nameless agitation stirred within her.With that beauty and Frostfang's Alpha bloodline, there was no guarantee Ulrik wouldn't revert to old feelings.After all, their mate bond was still very much intact.If Ulrik exiled Adelaide and severed the mate bond, Velda would be Bloodmoon's sole Luna, Ulrik's only mate.She'd always seen Adelaide as a tough opponent.

    Third Person's POVRejecting a Luna and exiling her from the pack isn't trivial.The next morning, Bloodmoon members began preparations.As a union between two packs, their bonding followed formal traditions, and its dissolution required the same.Elders from both families, along with the wolf who officiated the original ceremony, must witness the rejection to confirm the Luna's breach of contract.Especially for packs like Bloodmoon and Frostfang, the process couldn't be a simple verbal declaration by Alpha Ulrik.On the Davidson side, Alpha Bentley had no direct heirs.For decades, Frostfang Alphas either died in battle or in infancy.Bentley's father had three sons, all killed in war.Bentley himself had six sons and a daughter, five of whom mated and had pups.But those pups were slaughtered in an assassination half a year prior.Now Frostfang's Alpha bloodline survived only in Adelaide.However, Bentley's great-grandfather's line had split off to form their own pack, with the ret

    Adelaide's POVMy voice was soft, but my pheromones carried the chill of silverfir—like ice blades slicing through the air.Ulrik froze, his suppressed whine choked off by my aura as I brushed past him.Halsey immediately asked, "Adelaide, stand firm. I'll fight for your justice."My eyes welled up as I bowed before her. "I've brought shame to the family—I failed.""Rise!" Her tail lashed like a whip, silver fur revealing old battle scars. "Even Frostfang's last pup deserves respect—not exile for keeping vows Blood Moon broke."Her pheromones surged, rotting lilacs flooding the room. "Since you joined Bloodmoon, has any Tenar wolf cursed or harmed you?"I shook my head slowly. "No."Rosemary's fury boiled over. "Then why attack me? Jealous of Velda? It's Lycan Erasmus's decree! Your jealousy's a sin—what more do you want?"Halsey cut her off. "The whole city knows she nursed you day and night!"Rosemary sneered. "I thought her 'devotion' was sweet—until she cut off Digby.

    Adelaide's POVI flicked the edge of the list, letting it dangle tauntingly as Ulrik reached for it—only for me to yank it back.A cedar tang burst from my nape, Alpha pheromones flooding the air.Ulrik's pupils slit, his knuckles elongating into wolf claws.I sidestepped his grasp, my moonstone necklace suddenly searing hot—a sign Frostfang's Alpha bloodline was awakening."Come and take it," I said, letting the list slip into the gale of my aura.Ulrik's shoulders cracked with the sound of bone shifting.His leap left granite floor splintered, ironclad muscles straining against his uniform.As his fist whistled past my temple, I bit my lip, fangs piercing flesh.My claws lashed out.Ulrik's punch veered at the last second, shattering a blue porcelain vase behind me.I seized his wrist, my nails—hardened into blades—pressing against his pulsing vein. "Did your combat trainer never teach you?" I taunted. "Never go easy on a Frostfang wolf."He headbutted me, his fangs grazing my earlo

    Adelaide's POVI knelt on one knee, my spine finally relaxing.The decree from Lycan Erasmus arrived late, but it arrived."Thanks, Lycan Erasmus, for his mercy!" As my words fell, the coolness of the ground beneath my palm, mixed with the scent of withered leaves from the courtyard, was oddly reassuring compared to Bloodmoon's laurel fragrance.Ulrik stood rigid in my peripheral vision, his face ashen.He opened his mouth but no sound emerged—I knew he was shocked, confused, perhaps even recalling all my patience and concessions over the past year.But those speculations no longer concerned me. My gaze was fixed on the parchment in Fabian's hand, the gilded wolf-head crest gleaming warmly in the autumn sun.Rosemary suddenly clutched my sleeve, her nails digging painfully into the fabric."Adelaide, it was all a misunderstanding!" Her voice carried unprecedented urgency. "I thought you were trying to stop Ulrik and Velda, so I—"I gently withdrew my arm, putting half a step between u

Don't let it trouble you," I said."Whatever they say, I remain indifferent," I replied.Vanya dropped the topic.She didn't ask about the royal guards outside, only inquiring about my daily routines.We chatted for half an hour.Tamara, fidgeting beside us, finally blurted out, "Adelaide, I need your help."I turned to her, her chapped lips and blistered corners revealing her distress."Cold as it is, you're clearly overwhelmed," I said gently."Speak your mind.""I came today because Rosemary's illness flared up last night. She fainted this morning from rage. She's awake now, but I don't think she'll last long. I'm here to beg you to intercede with Shaman Digby for me," Tamara said, on the verge of tears."Rosemary threatened to have Simon reject me if I couldn't get Digby here. I had no choice but to come to you.""Passed out?" I questioned."Rosemary took Digby's herbs on

    Third Person's POVIvy interjected, "Alpha Ulrik and Luna Velda have earned their merits. There's nothing they can't handle. You shouldn't seek help from Frostfang's Alpha."Tamara clutched Ivy's hand, her face mournful. "Ivy, Adelaide has always treated me well. Please speak to her for me. The things those people say—I didn't spread them. I swear—"Ivy shook off her grip and glanced at Beta Valentin. "Let's head back to the Packhouse, Beta Valentin."Valentin and Ivy walked toward the Packhouse, leaving Tamara stranded at Frostfang's border.Ivy refused to comment on Bloodmoon affairs.Noticing Valentin's troubled expression, she asked, "What's on your mind?""Luna Skye rejected the gift from Adelaide for Melinda," Valentin said quietly.Ivy paused. "But Luna Skye and Luna Airella were close friends… Alright."In the eyes of powerful pack Alphas, many believed Adelaide's favor with Lycan Erasmus stemmed solely from her father's legacy.So no one took Adelaide seriously.Valentin said

    Adelaide's POVI watched Erasmus's retreating back and called out urgently, "Lycan Erasmus, my father and brothers were feared on the battlefield. I may not match their valor, but I won't be swayed by emotions.""Since my bond with Ulrik is dissolved, I won't cling to him. I won't let personal feelings cloud my judgment. Please trust me this once!"Erasmus halted but didn't turn.Coldly, he said, "Don't tarnish your family's honor. I can grant you glory—and take it away. Return to Frostfang and act as if this day never happened."He strode away, leaving me helpless.In his eyes—and others'—I was unreasonable and petty.The daughter of Alpha Bentley, reduced to a drama queen over a broken bond?I'd left Frostfang as a pup for Warscar Training Camp.Over the two years since returning to Frostfang, I spent the first year learning from my mother how to become a Luna, and the second managing the pack's affairs at Bloodmoon.At least during this time, I'd never stepped out of line.But now,

    Adelaide's POVI knew Lycan Erasmus wouldn't take my word easily, so I presented a letter. "This is from Craig. Believe or not, it's up to you."In reality, Craig hadn't penned this letter. The intel came from Prunella.But Craig was renowned.The letter was forged in Craig's handwriting. If I'd said Prunella gathered the intel, Erasmus would've dismissed it outright.Last night, I thought through the Southern Border's peril.Without royal reinforcements, Alpha Lance's battle would likely end in defeat.The situation was dire. The Western Tribe's army had already infiltrated the Dragon Ash Kingdom, en route to the Southern Border.Even dispatching aid now might be too late.As for post-battle accountability regarding the Bloodscar Border and Snowdeer Town campaigns, and whether my grandfather would be implicated—those were concerns for another day.Hearing that my friend Craig supposedly sent the message, Erasmus's surprise was evident. He immediately ordered Beta Fabian to bring him

    Adelaide's POVI slipped into the royal archives, shielded by Frostfang's stealth cloak.It masked my scent and muffled my steps, allowing me to glide through the high-security area like a wraith.No need to search—the Bloodscar Campaign reports were neatly arranged on the upper shelf of the left oak bookcase.I retreated to a dim corner of the archive room and, by faint light, began reviewing the dispatches one by one.By the time I finished the last report, my blood felt frozen, and a bone-chilling dread spread through me.Tears welled up uncontrollably, blurring my vision.Ulrik and Velda, as reinforcements, rushed to the Bloodscar Border and plunged into the fray.Their inexperience on the battlefield soon became apparent.In the first battle, my uncle lunged to save Ulrik, his left arm severed by an enemy blade—a scene so visceral, it played out before my eyes.My youngest uncle, ever-vibrant and dashing in my memory, fell heroically before reinforcements could arrive.My grandfa

    Adelaide's POVI returned to my courtyard and immediately penned a letter, dispatching a former Frostfang guard—shifted and under cover—to Warscar Training Camp by night.The southern border battle gnawed at me like a splinter.Scattered clues hinted at something amiss, but I'd keep conjectures buried until hard evidence surfaced.My maternal grandfather, Alpha Zander, and my two uncles had been stationed at the border for years. Last winter, they deployed with wolf warriors to aid the Southern Tribe's war effort. When the Western Tribe retaliated, Bloodmoon lacked the warriors to hold the line.Ulrik and Velda had gone to reinforce them, but what exactly transpired on the battlefield?For the following month, I sealed Frostfang's borders.I appointed suitable individuals as Beta, Gamma, and wolf guard captain—all loyal Frostfang members.The new Beta, now returned from retirement, had served Frostfang before the new Beta took over.His silver-flecked temples were a stark reminder of

    Third Person's POV"Wonderful! All our guests are gone. Just wonderful!" Ulrik snarled, his voice laced with sarcasm and fury.Velda's wolf fur prickled beneath her dress.She strode to the Packhouse window, glanced at the deserted plaza, and asked innocently, "Why did they leave?""Not enough seats!" Ulrik exploded. "Why did you invite them without telling us? They don't belong here!"Velda's pupils shrank, her belt clinking against her gown. "So they're discriminating against wolf warriors?"Her voice carried the chill of a blizzard. "Those royal Lycans and council wolves—do they think our border guards aren't worthy of respect? After we fight and die to protect them?""This isn't about respect! You invited them without clearance! Did you even inform the base?"He forced his roar down, his voice trembling with frustration. "Even if approved, you should've told Tamara! We set up 200 seats, but you added 150 warriors. Did you expect guests to stand and sip champagne?"Velda's ears twi

    Third Person's POVBefore Christmas, the Bloodmoon Pack formally held the bonding ceremony for Ulrik and Velda.As the future Luna of Bloodmoon, Velda's ceremony drew significant attention.Despite prior controversy surrounding Adelaide and Ulrik's dissolved bond, the pair remained recognized by Lycan Erasmus.Numerous wolf generals and royal members attended, filling the banquet hall with elegance and buzz.Rosemary, eyeing the gift table laden with crystal champagne flutes and bespoke silverware, felt her spirits lift.During the oath ceremony on the pack plaza, Velda stunned in a tailored wedding gown, her silver wolf-badge gleaming under spotlights.Rosemary beamed, recalling Ulrik's mention that Lycan Erasmus credited Velda most for the Western Tribe peace treaty—a boon to Bloodmoon's reputation.Yet as the ceremony commenced, chaos erupted.According to the guest list, Bloodmoon Pack had arranged 200 seats in the pack plaza.However, Velda invited over a hundred wolf warriors, w

    Adelaide's POVI opened my eyes, staring at the ceiling.Rebellious since childhood, I'd never obeyed—except that one time.I followed my mother and brothers' mates, learning to be a Luna, managing the pack, abandoning combat books, and ditching my dreams of becoming a wolf warrior.I learned quickly. Mother said if I couldn't be the best female Gamma, I'd excel as a Luna.But she was wrong. I was wrong.I should've kept rebelling. Then I wouldn't be alone now.I still didn't understand why the Western Tribe rogues did this.The official story—Alpha Bentley's defeat shamed them, driving their revenge.But it doesn't add up.The rogues' survival near the Royal pack wasn't easy.If they could infiltrate that deeply, their priority would be intelligence—not exposure.The Western Lycan King wouldn't order such senseless bloodshed.The truth was buried.I was reminded of my father and brothers, grief and anger swelling.They reclaimed the Southern Territory but couldn't hold it, dying hono
