Chapter 208

Third Person’s POV

Adelaide thought that Lycan Erasmus wanted to get revenge for her by pairing Ulrik with a she–wolf who dissolved her mating bond after a year–just as she and Ulrik had.

But Gloria might not have agreed to mate with Ulrik if not for Lycan Erasmus’s designation.

When Gloria visited the Frostfang Pack, Adelaide assumed she wanted to assess Ulrik’s character.

Lycan Erasmus’s actions made Adelaide feel she might have dragged Gloria into trouble.

This wasn’t about revenge but making enemies.

It seemed Adelaide needed to meet Gloria to clear the air and prevent Frostfang from gaining foes.

While she didn’t care about herself, she didn’t want Cedric, the future Alpha, to suffer from any grudges.

Noticing Adelaide’s furrowed brow and swirling cedar pheromones, Lance said, “Ironclaw Pack’s Luna Cynthia is coming to visit. She likely wants to ask about your dissolved mating bond with Ulrik. The story was all over town, but they’re reasonable enough to know not to believe everything they hear. They want to hear the truth from you.”

Lance always knew what was happening in the Frostfang Pack.

Every time he visited, he’d first check in with Beta Valentine, who treated Lance as one of their own.

Valentine knew Adelaide was rational, but with the pack’s small size and limited manpower, many tasks still required Lance’s attention.

New members couldn’t be fully trusted yet, so Valentine often informed Lance, who’d send people to investigate or handle matters.

This was one reason Lance visited frequently.

After chatting with Adelaide for a while, Lance was ready to leave. He had a pile of cases to review. As the newly appointed head of the Royal Court, he was buried in paperwork, which strained his eyes daily.

Moreover, he needed to master commercial law. Memorizing legal statutes was crucial; otherwise, his position as the Royal Court’s president would be a mere figurehead.

Adelaide saw him off as usual.

They had a tacit understanding, but now Adelaide was more guarded.

She subconsciously kept her distance during their goodbye, trying to manage her feelings.

She reminded herself that they were to spend their lives together and couldn’t afford to fall helplessly in

love.

Although Lance had promised no breeders or mistresses, such matters weren’t entirely within his control.

Even Dwight, despite his pride, had breeders sent by superiors.

And Lycan Erasmus and Priscilla might do the same for Lance, given the royal Lycan’s emphasis on

progeny.

While Adelaide appreciated Lance’s promise, she knew better than to let her heart rule her mind.

But the heart is hard to control, especially when it’s so far from the rational brain.

The next day, Adelaide sent an invitation to Ironclaw Pack, requesting Luna Cynthia and Gloria’s visit.

They arrived within the hour.

Adelaide was dressed casually today. Upon hearing they were coming, she quickly asked Beata to help her change.

She switched into a moon–white dress, draped a lake–blue cloak over her shoulders, and fastened the ruby necklace returned by Glenveil Pack’s Rowena around her neck. The outfit was simple yet elegant.

Ivy had already offered them coffee. The two visitors, accompanied by two omegas, rose and greeted Adelaide upon her entrance.

“Miss Davidson!” they said in unison.

“Please, sit down, Luna Cynthia, Gloria,” Adelaide said with a smile.

Luna Cynthia, in a dark blue coat, appeared authoritative with her neatly combed gray–streaked hair.

Gloria, in a simple white fox–fur stole over a pale yellow dress, was beautiful but lacked vitality.

Her demeanor seemed older than her mother’s.
