Chapter 496
Third Person’s POV
Adelaide wasn’t about to let Luna Skye have her way.
If she didn’t care about completely severing ties or damaging the reputations of the Silverlight and Soulrend Packs, then so be it!
Adelaide’s voice sharpened, her pheromones erupting like an ice storm, the air around her frosting over.
Her pupils narrowed to blade–like slits in her fury. “First off, when Dwight was obsessed with his breeder and neglecting his wife, Melinda begged you for help. You stood by and did nothing. As the mate of the Soulrend Pack’s heir, Melinda was subjected to a breeder’s taunts. Where was your pack’s honor then?”
“Second, when Melinda was severely injured by Dwight’s domestic abuse and had to bed–rest, you and Alpha Howell didn’t condemn Dwight. You just sent some measly thing to the Soulrend Pack and told her to endure it, hoping Dwight would change.”
“Third, Melinda’s difficult labor was caused by Dwight pushing her down the stairs, nearly killing her. In that life–or–death moment, she called for me, not you, her mother.”
“Now Lycan Erasmus knows the truth and is furious at Dwight’s cruelty. Yet you don’t side with your own daughter but with Dwight, insisting on maintaining this mating.
“Are you waiting for Melinda to end up like Sidney, dying miserably in a sanatorium?”
Luna Skye’s face drained of color. She stared at Adelaide, shocked by her unabashed accusations.
That last remark was deliberate.
No one knew Sidney’s true story. The Blue Abyss Pack had covered it up tightly.
Even though Sidney had willingly gone to the sanatorium, the Blue Abyss Pack had spoken highly of it, preserving their reputation.
Despite some rumors, even Sidney’s daughters supported their father.
With no clear truth, people were unlikely to investigate,
Rumors were flying outside, but it was hard to tell fact from fiction.
But Germain’s quick mating to Luna Sadi after Sidney’s death had sparked gossip.
Adelaide’s mention of it would surely fuel more speculation.
Germain wanted to appear innocent? Impossible!
Now that they were back in the capital, it was time for a showdown.
Adelaide continued, her tone cutting, “I’m not stopping you from seeing Melinda. If you visit her as her mother, she’d be glad.”

Chapter 496
With that, Adelaide picked up the designer bag, her pheromones forming an invisible barrier against the onlookers.
She climbed into the carriage and left under everyone’s gaze, leaving Luna Skye at the pack boundary, exposed to looks of sympathy and scorn.
The gazes were like tiny needles, making the back of her neck tingle
Luna Skye stood there, her sandalwood pheromones surging with humiliation and anger, her wolf ears drooping.
She turned and trudged back to the Silverlight Pack, her steps heavy with lead.
Meanwhile, the Soulrend Pack’s old Luna really started fasting. Her silver–gray fur lost its luster, and her weak pheromones barely hung on like a flickering candle. She could barely maintain any presence.
Alpha Manfred visited the Silverlight Pack twice, his cedar pheromones thick with anxiety.
Alpha Howell told him, “I’m using connections to ensure Dwight isn’t mistreated in the Ministry of Justice. Tell the old Luna not to worry.”
Alpha Manfred thanked him profusely, his cedar pheromones tinged with guilt and shame for the pack’s failure to support Melinda.
After a pause, Alpha Manfred asked worriedly, “Will Lycan Erasmus’s anger affect the rest of the Soulrend Pack?”
