Third Person’s POV
Their vehicle was hooked to Paisley and Adelaide’s car.
The maid repeatedly thanked them and tried to help Ramona into the car.

As she attempted to join them inside, Paisley coolly stated, “A maid has no place in the same car as her lady. You’ll ride with the driver in your own vehicle. It’s just for towing; no need to start your engine.”
The maid was taken aback.
Typically, a maid would accompany her lady in the car to attend to her needs.
“Ramona is frail. I should stay with her to provide care,” the maid insisted.
“The car’s full,” Paisley responded indifferently.
“We’ll call for you if we need assistance. Wait in your vehicle for the time being.”
In reality , the car was spacious enough to accommodate four people comfortably.
“But…”
Adelaide frowned and said, “Enough chatter. If you disagree, we’ll detach the vehicle and be on our way. ”
Daring not to protest further, the maid meekly replied, “Very well. Thank you for caring Ramona.”
As the convoy began to move, Lance’s car followed alongside.
He knew Adelaide and Paisley were capable of protecting themselves, yet unease lingered in his heart.
Eugene focused on observing the maid, bodyguard, and driver.
Although it seemed excessive to be so wary of a mere she–wolf, they had stopped Lance, the commander who had reclaimed the Southern Border.
Caution was imperative.
As they had done for years, they preferred to err on the side of caution.
Once the vehicle was in motion, the strong wind and scorching sun created intense heat. However, the maid showed no discomfort, revealing her resilience.
Typically, maids close to their ladies were spared from strenuous tasks and appeared more delicate.
This maid was clearly different.
Such a minor trick was insulting.
Eugene sighed inwardly and shifted his attention elsewhere.

They were accustomed to living on the edge, and such tactics were beneath notice.
Inside the car, Ramona had removed her sunhat, revealing a face strikingly similar to Willow’s- exquisitely beautiful yet with a cold demeanor.
With the maid outside, she whispered, “Luna Adelaide, please save my mother.”
Adelaide responded in a hushed tone, “But this isn’t the real reason you stopped us.”
“It’s not.”

Ramona shook her head, a flash of humiliation crossing her cold face as she squatted and bowed, tears welling in her eyes.
“Madison made me try to drive a wedge between you and Alpha Lance. Please, help me.”
“Why should I help you?” Adelaide asked, observing the tears in Ramona’s eyes–tears that might not signify sorrow but could be tools of intrigue.
Ramona lowered her voice, “We can make a deal. I’ll share everything I know with you without holding back.”
Adelaide reached out and helped her up, inviting her to sit beside her.
Startled, Ramona quickly put her sunhat back on.
Later, when the convoy stopped for a break, a hand knocked on the car window. The maid poked her head in and asked, “Ramona, are you feeling better?”
P
Ramona replied, “Much better.”
The maid glanced around the car before leaving.
Adelaide and Paisley exchanged glances, mentally assessing the truthfulness of Ramona’s claims.
However, with limited conversation, it was impossible to make a judgment. Regardless of the truth, they needed to find an opportunity for a more in–depth discussion.
In the evening, after checking into a hotel and having dinner, Adelaide deliberately instructed Tommy in front of everyone, “Go out and find out where there are cars for sale.”
Tommy immediately complied and left.
The maid and bodyguard exchanged looks before approaching and inquiring, “Do you intend to part ways with us?”
Adelaide explained, “It’s for the sake of you all. She’s yet to be mated, and most of our group are men. Traveling together all the way to the capital might tarnish her reputation.”
The maid quickly assured her, /It’s fine. Everyone here is kind–hearted, and with so many look out for each other on the journey, making it safer.”
you , we can
“You have a bodyguard with you. Besides, even if we travel separately, the distance between our groups won’t be significant. In case of trouble, we can still assist one another,” Adelaide countered.

The maid had no rebuttal but grew anxious, repeatedly glancing at Ramona.

Ramona gently bowed and said, “I know I’m imposing, but the journey back to the capital is long. Having you with us gives me peace of mind. Moreover, purchasing a car is expensive, and I don’t have enough funds with me to afford one.”
Adelaide frowned. “I see. Which pack and family do you belong to? If we’re acquainted, we could lend you the money for the car, and you can repay us once we reach the capital.”
The maid quickly stepped forward and replied, “Ramona’s last name is Barker, and she resides at 8 West Hibiscus Alley in the capital. Her family is in business. This trip was for visiting relatives. Originally, a brother from her family was to accompany her, but he suffered an injury and had to stay behind to recover. We had no choice but to hire a werewolf bodyguard to return to the capital. The journey has been fraught with difficulties, and we fear encountering more troubles, which is why we humbly request to travel with you.”
Adelaide observed the maid’s movements as she responded–fluid and swift, with a strong and unshaken voice, showing no signs of fear.
She didn’t resemble a typical maid from a wealthy household but rather a werewolf from a prominent family or a powerful pack who had seen her share of challenges.
Ramona had already disclosed her identity, yet the maid claimed her surname was Barker and that she was the daughter of a merchant.
If this wasn’t a deliberate slip, it might indicate that Ramona was genuinely betraying Madison’s trust.
