What kind of hardships must a hot-blooded warrior endure to undergo such a phoenix-like rebirth?
The thought made Paisley’s eyes well up with tears she could barely restrain.
Adelaide, sensing the shift in her pheromones, asked with genuine concern.
“What’s wrong? Are you alright?”
“Oh, it’s nothing,” Paisley sniffled, forcing a breezy tone. “I just think that idiot Ulrik is incredibly aggravating.”
Adelaide laughed softly.
“It’s okay, I’m not even angry anymore. I’ve known he was a weakling for a long time; it’s not surprising when he does something this stupid.”
Paisley opened her arms and pulled Adelaide into a firm, grounding hug.
“Listen, Adelaide. No matter what happens in the future, we have to protect each other.”
“Of course.” Adelaide reached out and gently patted her back, a smile finally gracing her lips.
Why was this usually boisterous she-wolf being so sentimental today?
Their scents melded in that moment, reminiscent of the countless nights they had spent sleeping side-by-side in the Shadow Peaks.
Beata happened to poke her head in just then. Seeing them embraced didn’t surprise her at all.
“Luna, Alpha Lance should be arriving soon. Luna Priscilla said everyone will be dining together tonight.”
Priscilla didn’t actually enjoy eating with Lance-their palates were different, and they lacked common ground for conversation.
However, she didn’t want the noble circles to speculate about a rift between them, so she made sure to host a family dinner a few times a month.

< 1/3 15:52 Mon, May 18 M Chapter 819 Neither Lance nor Adelaide were the type to talk incessantly at the table. Because of this, they frequently invited Paisley; she was perfect for livening up the atmosphere and keeping the conversation light and happy. On the other side of the Palace. Ulrik ultimately did not submit his resignation. A few days later, he was back on duty, clad in his Royal Guard uniform. +20 Free Coins Lycan Erasmus met with him again in the study. Lycan Erasmus had hoped he would have regained some of his fighting spirit, but he was disappointed. Ulrik remained as despondent as a rogue. Erasmus was thoroughly dissatisfied with his performance. Originally, he had planned to promote Ulrik heavily while the Bloodmoon Pack was struggling, ensuring the Alpha would remember his grace and remain loyal forever. Now, he had completely changed his mind: loyalty was important, but loyalty without claws and fangs was useless. Jeremy was the only one left whom Lycan Erasmus truly trusted, but his workload was already too heavy. It was time to promote a new deputy. Erasmus immediately summoned Jeremy and handed him two names: Zach and Alfred. "Your Majesty," Jeremy said, bowing slightly. "Both swore eternal loyalty to you years ago. Zach is clever and alert. Alfred is loyal and driven. More importantly, he has been studying under Paisley recently; his combat skills and lethality are improving at a terrifying rate." Erasmus arched a long eyebrow. "Alfred is from the Hornbeam Pack. If I recall, his brother is Marsh of the Stokes family. Correct?" "Exactly. Your Majesty," Jeremy replied respectfully. Erasmus pondered for a moment, then asked, "I remember a fellow from the Eugenics Scout team who performed well and later joined the Royal Guard. What was his name?" "You must mean Griffin Watkins, Sire. However, he is currently only a junior guard." 2/3 15:52 Mon, May 18 M Chapter 819 +20 Free Coins Erasmus narrowed his eyes, mentally weighing the pros and cons of promoting Zach versus Alfred. Zach's competence was beyond reproach, but he was too calculating. As for Alfred, he was a core member of the Hornbeams. Lance had saved Marsh's life on the battlefield, and now Alfred was Paisley's student; the ties to the Blackthorns were uncomfortably close. "Is Alfred hungry for power?" Lycan Erasmus asked coldly. Jeremy's response was extremely cautious. "Sire, Alfred is indeed very ambitious. He became Paisley's student specifically to advance his career. According to my secret investigations, his relationship with the Antler Pack isn't great. He is desperate to escape the pack's shadow and prove himself through his own achievements." Ambition and desire. That made things easier. Desire was the best leash a King could wrap around an official's neck. "Make it Alfred. As for Griffin, promote him directly to Senior Guard and put him in my Imperial Escort. Zach can take the vacant Captain position for the Imperial Escort." The only potential liability for Alfred was his teacher, Paisley, but she came from the Stephens family-Lycan Erasmus had plenty of ways to keep her in check. Since becoming Paisley's student, Alfred hadn't fantasized about an immediate promotion. He knew his combat weaknesses all too well. However, he possessed a patience far beyond ordinary men; he knew that as long as he held a position in the palace, his progress would eventually catch the King's eye. So, when Lycan Erasmus summoned him personally and promoted him to Deputy Commander of the Imperial Escort, Alfred froze in place. Jeremy, standing beside him, gave him a swift kick with his combat boot. "Hey, what are you dazed for, kid? Hurry up and swear your oath to His Majesty!" 16:02 Mon, May 18 M
