“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. Better to eliminate the threat once and for all.

“Given her malice, proceed as planned. As for pre–nuptial assets…” she paused, “under the Werewolf Accord, exiled parties.

forfeit claine Returning her wealth is grace, not taking it is right. But I’ll stay out of it.”

“I won’t take a penny,” Ulrik insisted.

Velda’s gaze softened, “I know you’re above her wealth. Besides, Bloodmoon’s vast holdings make it irrelevant.”

Ulrik, heartened, blurted, “I’ll also refund the pack funds she’s covered this year.”

Velda’s smile froze. “She subsidized the pack?”

Ulrik’s wolf ears twitched beneath his hair. “Rosemary’s meds are expensive. The pack’s finances are strained–she’s helped.”

“Doesn’t Bloodmoon own three lakes?” Velda’s nails bit into her palm “My father mentioned royal shop grants last year!”

“True, but poorly managed–they’re sold,” Ulrik said.

Velda reeled. “So Bloodmoon’s accounts are nearly empty?”

“Yes, but it’s temporary. Our future merits will bring more,” Ulrik said.

Recalling the grandeur of Ulrik and Adelaide’s bonding ceremony, Velda had assumed both packs were equally powerful.

Her stance shifted subtly. After a moment’s hesitation, she said, “Returning all her assets would make you seem at fault.”

Velda averted her gaze, her voice muffled. “I just think returning half is already generous.”
