Craig frowned, tracing a line across the map with his finger as he jumped in.

“The dispute over this border is ancient history. But during Late Lycan King Jason’s reign, we signed the Icefields Treaty. It clearly states the border is defined by the current line of actual control.”

He looked up. “If Orion is willing to sit down and talk, the original maps and treaties are our smoking guns.”

“Talk?”

Lance let out a dry, cynical laugh and shook his head.

“Craig, forget the legal jargon. There’s an old saying: A new Alpha marks his territory with blood. And this guy? He’s a Lycan King with a lot to prove.”

Lance stood up and walked to the window, staring out at the blizzard.

“Orion’s foundation is shaky. His throne is built on a pile of bodies. He’s desperate to win over the rank–and–file wolves, and he needs a flashy military win to prove he’s the real deal. If those people were interested in logic and treaties, the border wouldn’t be soaked in blood for all these years.”

Adelaide leaned back, rubbing her temples as a headache began to pulse behind her eyes.

“So, we’re at a stalemate. Orion wants to redraw the map to buy national support, and our Lycan Erasmus isn’t going to give up an inch of ground because it would look like a surrender.”

Lance turned around. In the dim light, his face looked like it was carved from stone, his expression grim.

He ground out through gritted teeth, “And that coward Alpha Howell? He’s just been playing dead, waiting for this exact moment to swoop in like a vulture and pick at the scraps.”

Adelaide tapped her desk.

“So, is it confirmed? Has Howell definitely ditched the capital?”

Lance nodded.

“Tommy ran surveillance for several nights straight. Last night, he reported zero trace of

Howell’s pheromones inside the Silverlight packhouse. We’ve got three tracking teams out in different directions, but if he’s in a serious disguise or using heavy–duty scent–blockers, catching his trail is going to be a nightmare.”

Caldwell slammed his fist on the table in frustration. “We dropped the ball. I didn’t think the old rat would actually have the balls to defy orders and vanish right now.”

Adelaide’s eyes went cold, sharp as daggers.

“Since we know he’s gone, we can’t let him slip away in the dark. It’s time Lycan Erasmus found out his ‘sick‘ subject isn’t actually resting at home.”

Lance thought it over for a second.

“Good point. Tomorrow, I’ll have my mother head to the Palace. She can tell Clarissa she’s ‘worried‘ about Howell and suggest the Crown send a royal physician to check on him. I’d usually suggest Melinda for this, but let’s leave her out of it. She deserves some peace.”

Priscilla had moved back to the Blackthorn estate a few days her limit before she got bored.

“I’ll go talk to her now,” Adelaide said, rising with a sense of purpose.

Priscilla was already tucked in for the night, looking confused as she opened the door to find Adelaide standing there.

Adelaide didn’t waste time with small talk.

“Tomorrow, I need you to visit Clarissa. During the conversation, just mention that Alpha Howell has been sick for way too long. Ask Clarissa to send a professional doctor to the Silverlights to help him out.”

Priscilla blinked, totally lost.

“You woke me up in the middle of the night for Howell? Those people treated you like garbage. Why do you care if he’s sick?”

Adelaide sighed and changed her angle.

“He’s still Melinda’s father. For her sake, we should show a little… ‘concern.”

Priscilla thought about it. Melinda was a tragic case.

“Fine, fine. I’ll go tomorrow.”

She let out a massive yawn and waved her off. “I’m dead tired. Go back to your own room so I can sleep.”
