A Female Alpha’s Revenge novel Chapter 498

Chapter 498

Third Person’s POV

Lance knew finding Caldwell’s sister was his biggest regret.

Caldwell had vowed not to seek a mate until he found her.

“Alright, I’ll talk to Adelaide,” Lance said, “but Craig might not agree. It does sound a bit far–fetched

Caldwell remained calm. “Just ask him through you, Alpha Lance. I won’t be disappointed if it doesn’t work

out.”

After discussing a few more things, Lance headed back inside.

Adelaide had just returned from seeing Melinda and was surprised to hear about Caldwell’s request. I had no idea Caldwell had a missing sister,” she said.

“Since he had Wendy contact Prunella, why not have her ask Craig too?” Adelaide mused.

“Caldwell keeps his work and personal life separate. Having Wendy message Prunella was for pack business. Asking Craig is personal, so he wants a middleman,” Lance explained.

Adelaide understood. “I’ll write to him, but I can’t be sure if Craig’s at Shadow Peaks. He’s always traveling.

“He should be there now. After Klein returned from his trip, he’d want to settle things. Likely, no one’s leaving Shadow Peaks for months,” Lance said with a smile.

Adelaide’s heart still raced at the mention of Klein, a fear ingrained in her.

She laughed and said, “Good thing I’m mated.”

“Especially since your mate is Klein’s only beloved student. You probably get special treatment and leniency from him,” Lance said proudly, kissing her forehead.

“Klein is rather protective,” Adelaide said.

“Not just protective–extremely so,” Lance corrected, smudging ink on his hand and calling for water.

Adelaide disagreed but then said, “But my mentor is even more protective.”

Lance chuckled. “Oh yeah? When we rescued the Eugenius Scout Team from the southern border, Klein- told me not to cross you. He said if you complained to Shadow Peaks, he couldn’t shield me from the whole Training Camp’s wrath.”

“Impossible. Everyone at Shadow Peaks, including my mentor Irene, fears Klein,” Adelaide said.

“Fear him or not, you’re the beloved of everyone there. If you reported any mistreatment, even Klein would struggle to protect me against the whole camp’s backlash,” Lance said.

As he spoke, he suddenly said it dramatically, “Even though we’re schoolmates, Irene has a lot of students. I’m all alone here. No matter what, I’d be the one getting bullied.”

Chapter 498

Adelaide’s eyes softened with pity.

She tiptoed and flicked his forehead. “So you have to be nice to me.”

As she stood on her toes, Lance’s heart soared–had she finally softened?

But when the “pop” of the flick registered, he realized– nope, she’s even more stubborn.

He pulled her into his arms, cedar pheromones wrapping them in warmth.

Sitting in a chair, he held her waist and asked with warmth, “How’s Melinda?”

Adelaide shifted, her spruce pheromones rippling with unease.

Getting so close before nightfall felt odd.
