Chapter 736

Third Person’s POV

As soon as Digby left the Hornbeams, he sent a coded message to the Blackthorns, “The medicine has been delivered.”

Unlike Adelaide, who was a nervous wreck, Lance was surprisingly chill.

He sat by the fireplace, idly swirling a glass of red wine, watching the dark liquid coat the crystal.

“Take it easy, sweetheart,” Lance said, his voice smooth and steady.

He looked up at Adelaide, who was pacing the floor like a caged wolf.

“Alfred is ambitious, sure, but he’s not a natural–born snake. He’s a decent enough wolf at his core. He’s probably struggling with his own conscience right now. Once Alpha Theodore gets in his ear, there’s a damn good chance he’ll keep his mouth shut.”

He took a sip of the wine, his eyes glinting with a sharp, tactical intelligence. “Besides, if he’s smart, he’ll realize that snitching to a paranoid Lycan King like Lycan Erasmus is a short–term win with a long–term cost. It’s much better to sit on a secret like this–or use it as leverage for something bigger.”

Adelaide stopped pacing. “What do you mean?”

“Think about it. If he reports it, Lycan Erasmus will reward him, maybe even promote him. But Lycan Erasmus is a skeptic. He’ll always see Alfred as a guy who sells out his own kind for a paycheck. He’ll use him, but he’ll never trust him.”

Lance set his glass down and walked over to Adelaide, placing his hands on her shoulders to ground her.

“On the other hand, if Alfred stays quiet–or plays it smart and talks to Magnus privately–he builds a bridge. Magnus is part of the Styxwarden pack, and Alger’s mate is a literal Princess. That’s a network that offers way more long–term power than a one–time reward for being a rat.”

He leaned down, whispering in her ear. “Relax. If Alpha Zander comes back and sees you this wound up, he’s just going to worry. We aren’t doing this alone. Listen to the chatter outside. Ever since Ampelio started venting, every tavern, underground gym, and market square in the city has been talking. Everyone is backing Alpha Zander.”

Public opinion was becoming their shield. As long as Alfred didn’t light the fuse, the fire wouldn’t reach them.

The lower–tier wolves weren’t nearly as cautious as the nobles. After a few rounds of cheap ale, they were more than happy to speak their minds.

To them, Alpha Zander was a living legend–the symbol of the kingdom’s grit.

From stories of his solo charges in his youth to his current white–haired stand in the frozen wastes, the commoners were obsessed with his tragic, heroic life.

Over the next few days, the talk got louder.

It was actually getting hard to control. Some wolves were even banging on tables in the pubs, shouting things like-

“Ulrik was the one leading the mission to burn the supplies! If Velda went rogue, that’s on him!”

“Exactly! Alpha Zander was poisoned and in a coma. He couldn’t even stand up, let alone order a massacre! If the Palace needs a

fall guy, they should grab the actual commanders who were on the ground!”

“Damned right! Ulrik has to pay. And Russell too–he was running things while Alpha Zander was out.”

But then the mood shifted again as people started talking about Russell’s history.
