Third Person’s POV
Christine weighed her options, recalling Adelaide’s advice—avoid unnecessary entanglements.

If there were no other entanglements, then there’s no fear of offending others. In fact, it might even be better to offend them.
She smiled and said, “Luna Cynthia, Maya was just joking. We wouldn’t dare impose. With Pandora ill, both Alpha Germain and Luna Sadi are caring for her at the palace. They’re likely too busy to host. We should wait until Pandora recovers.”
Luna Cynthia, aware of Christine’s tact, played along.
She declined Maya’s warm invitation today; there must be a reason for it.
“Right, how could I forget? With Pandora unwell, you must be worried. You came back to the capital just to take care of her. We really can’t go and bother you.”
Audrey chimed in, “Luna Cynthia and Christine are right. Let’s visit after Pandora’s better. Maybe we’ll even get to meet her.”
Maya, though skilled in persuasion, couldn’t push further.
After all, they used the excuse of caring for Pandora to come back.
She agreed, “Very well. I’ll send invitations when the time comes. Do promise to attend.”
“Absolutely,” Christine replied.
The others chimed in too.
With the matter dropped, Luna Sadi and Maya took their leave as the sun set.
Assisted by an omega, Christine saw them off. Once they left, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she said, “Let’s go inside, everyone. I need to say something.”
With all the pack members present, she wanted to make her words clear to prevent any leaks from one side while keeping the other side in check.
Back inside, she addressed the pack, “From now on, if the Blue Abyss Pack invites us alone, always decline. If it’s a formal event with other nobility, we can attend, but never alone.”
The pack members exchanged confused glances.
Luna Cynthia sensed something amiss and asked, “What’s going on? Are we really not to see Mr. Raven?”
‘Christine’s tone grew serious. We must avoid the Blue Abyss Pack. Germain’s intentions are unclear. He visited us second after returning to the capital, and we all know why? Better safe than sorry. Remember this and keep it to yourselves.”
Only then did everyone realize–there were so many packs around, why had they come straight here first? And with such lavish gifts? It definitely wasn’t ordinary.
The Ironclaw Pack had dodged the bullet, but the Soulrend Pack was in chaos.
Dwight’s arrest left the former Luna wailing and threatening hunger strikes to demand his release.
But he was taken to the Ministry of Justice, it was not that easy to get him out.
The old Luna’s hunger strike, if publicized, would tarnish the Soulrend Pack’s reputation.
Despite slim chances, they pulled every connection, pleading with Lycan Erasmus through intermed.
Alpha Manfred’s contacts relayed a message—if Melinda forgave Dwight, he might go free.
But who in the Soulrend Pack dared approach Melinda, guarded by Luna Adelaide?
Alpha Howell was their last hope, but it was unknown if he’d intervene.
When the Ministry of Justice took Dwight away, Alpha Howell spoke up for him.
He didn’t want Melinda and Dwight to break their mating, so he had to beg them to talk to Melinda.
Alpha Howell agreed to help, but no one knew if he actually followed through.
Luna Skye, on the other hand, had been eager to see Melinda all along.
Now that Lycan Erasmus had issued his decree, the dissolution of the mating between Melinda and Dwight was inevitable. With no room for negotiation, Luna Skye planned to take Melinda into her own pack.
However, as she was about to bring others along, Adelaide arrived with Valentin and several omegas. They brought a wagon loaded with gifts, intending to return the presents exchanged between the two parties in the past.
The gifts, spanning years of sisterhood between two Lunas.
According to Valentin and Ivy, among the gifts from Luna Airella to Luna Skye were valuable jewelries and common items.
But the majority were precious medicinal supplies from Doctor Digby, primarily for treating battle wounds.
Given that Luna Skye’s husband and brother were both on the battlefield, stocking up on these medicines was always wise.
In addition to wound–healing medicines, there were also body–regulating and emergency medicines.
Ivy recalled that Luna Skye had personally requested multiple bottles of Digby’s special medicine.
These medicines, with their long shelf–life, were absent during Melinda’s critical time of need.
This left Adelaide genuinely puzzled. Melinda was Luna Skye’s daughter, after all. The idea that a mother would completely disregard her daughter’s well–being seemed unbelievable.
Normally, when faced with a crisis, a mother would surely gather the best medicine from her pack. Yet Luna Skye had shown up empty–handed.
Even if she’d been too flustered to think clearly, her companions should have reminded her.
The most plausible explanation was that she’d either used up all the medicine or given it away.
