A Female Alpha’s Revenge novel Chapter 752

Third Person’s POV

Adelaide finally let out a small laugh at her friend’s twisted logic, her reddened eyes crinkling at the corners.

“Paisley, I’m okay.”

“I know you will be. You’re Adelaide,” Paisley nodded, her gaze drifting toward the night sky outside the window. “Do you remember the duels back at the Howling Depths Arena?”

“How could I forget? You lost three matches in a row to me.”

“Yeah, three matches. After the first one, I was so pissed I went around smashing things like a rabid wolf. After the second, I had a total meltdown and stood under the waterfall screaming my lungs out. And after the third… I just sat in the mud and sobbed.”

Paisley winced at the memory of her younger, messier self.

“Back then, you laughed at me for being weak. You told me I couldn’t handle reality. God, you were so arrogant, standing there on the arena railing like you owned the world.”

Paisley sighed, her expression softening into something fierce and steady.

‘I remember thinking to myself, One day, when this high–and–mighty she–wolf finally hits a wall and feels a loss that cuts to the Done… I want to see if she cries. I want to see if she snaps.”

Adelaide toyed with her long–handled spoon, tapping the back of it against the rim of the bowl. The sound was hollow and sharp in the quiet room.

‘I used to think that as long as you screamed and let it all out, you’d be fine,” she whispered, her voice so low it almost vanished in the wind. “But I learned the hard way that sometimes… staying quiet hurts a lot more than screaming. Sometimes it hurts so deep n your marrow that you don’t even have the breath left to make a sound.”

A sharp pang of sympathy hit Paisley right in the chest. She stood up, walked over to Adelaide, and pulled her into a crushing hug,

esting her chin on Adelaide’s thin shoulder.

‘I made this god–awful berry stew tonight to tell you one thing: no matter how bitter, or salty, or spicy life gets, I’m going to help you swallow it.”

Her voice trembled. “I’m staying right by your side until… until you give me back that arrogant, untouchable Adelaide from the Howling Depths.”

Adelaide pushed her back slightly, two hot tears splashing onto Paisley’s hand before she quickly wiped them away. She let out a watery laugh, her stubborn streak flaring up.

“Why does it have to be the one from the Depths? Why can’t it be the one who beat you at the Winter Fortress? Or the one who wiped the floor with you outside the Crimson Flames? Or… the Adelaide who kicked you into the frozen river back in the Shadow Peaks?”

The sentimental atmosphere Paisley had carefully built vanished instantly.

She gritted her teeth. “Clearly, the stew didn’t work. You still haven’t shut up!”

She playfully punched Adelaide’s shoulder twice. “You stubborn she–wolf, you’re going to be the death of me!”

Adelaide didn’t dodge. Instead, she grabbed Paisley’s sleeve, unceremoniously wiped her eyes with it, and pulled her back into another hug. This time, her shoulders shook violently and didn’t stop for a long time.

Every mask, every layer of “commander” strength, finally disintegrated in that rough, warm embrace. Paisley didn’t push her away or try to offer more words. She just let Adelaide’s tears soak through her shirt, her own tears falling just as fast.

It was like a mirror of their youth–whenever Paisley lost a fight and cried, Adelaide would mock her ruthlessly first, then step in to be the strongest shoulder she had.

A long time passed before Adelaide finally pulled away, her voice thick and nasal.

‘Thank you.”

Paisley sniffled and handed her a towel. “Just don’t use my expensive wool sweater for your snot next time. This thing wasn’t :heap.”

n the shadows outside the door, Avery was pressed against the cold stone wall like a lizard. Hearing the laughter from inside, the ension finally drained out of him. He slid down the wall until he was sitting on the floor, hugging his knees. He buried his face in his arms, quietly wiping his eyes.
