Next day at noon, sunlight streamed through the window. A knock car
Valomin’s voice mes steady like a Beta’s “The palace guard wolves are waiting at the bonder?
Adelaide could have slept longer but she got ups
While putting on makeups, she yawned and asked. “Beata, are Mister and the others up
Not yet There still sleeping Last night. Resta slept on a couch in Adelaide’s room, feeling safe by her
“Don’t wake them Let them sleep as long as they need Adelaide know they were beat She wished she could sleeps till tomorrow.
Beata felt a pang of heartache. I know. Valentin said the same. He told me that when Alpha Bentler came back from the battlefield yours ages, he was the same test as hell, slept or days”
“Mmmm Adelaide nodded, changing the subject. “Are the visitors from the palace Clarissas people or Lycan Brass
Beata shook her head. “Neither. They re from tycan Lama Camilla
Adelaide was taken alsack Lycan Lanna Camille Lyon Mrasmus Lake”
She’d only met Camilla once when she dropped by to greet Clarissa after returning from the Shadow Mountains
That visit was quick, and she didn’t really get a good look at Camilla
Camilla’s father was the financial director of the royal council. She was from the Centella Pick, which had a century–long history
The Centella Pack had produced many werewolves who worked for the royal council. Lycan Lama had been a renowned elite even before her shift.
But since she had bonded with Lycan Erasmus carly on. Adelaide had never met her
Adelaide had left for the Shadow Peaks early and hadn’t attended many balls upon her return, so she was quite unfamiliar with Lycan Luna Camilla.
Why would Lycan Luna Camilla want to see her?
Without overthinking it, she had some breakfast and headed to the palace with Beata
The bronze wolf–head palace door shut behind Adelaide. Her boot heel crushed the last patch of snow Lycan Luna’s Omega Medici was already waiting at the Moonlight Hall porch. The moon goddes emblem on her silver necklace matched her wolf–head earrings

Seeing Adelaide, Omega Medici smiled and congratulated her on the Southern Border victory.
Before Adelaide could utter a humble word, Omega Medici turned and led Adelaide and Beata toward the Moonlight Hall, where Lycan Luna Camilla lived.
Adelaide’s wolf–head emblem cloak fluttered with each step, revealing the shadow fang totem beneath.
Beata, an Omega, trailed behind with droopy ears–this was her first time deep in the palace. Her reflection on the marble floor showed her nervousness.
It was a long walk.
Omega Medici remained silent the entire time, walking ahead with a somewhat lonely demeanor.
Adelaide and Beata exchanged glances. They couldn’t shake the feeling that Lycan Luna’s meeting might not be friendly.
But Adelaide stayed calm, not overly worried. Lycan Luna Camilla had been nice during their previous encounter. And as a general who had just returned victorious, she shouldn’t be messed with.
Instead of taking them to the conference hall, Omega Medici led them to a smaller, more secluded room.
Only then did Omega Medici speak. “Gamma Adelaide, please wait a moment. Lycan Luna Camilla will be here shortly.”
de nodded slightly.
xited.
etly observed the room’s decor and remarked to Adelaide in a hushed tone, “I’ve heard that Lycan alives a very simple life. Seems like it’s true.”
Adelaide whispered back, “Don’t gossip about royalty behind their backs.”
“Right away, Alpha Adelaide!” Beata straightened up.
After about half an hour of waiting with no sign of Lycan Luna, coffee was served.
But the coffee was far from good, with a distinct sour taste.
Fifteen minutes later, the sound of a wolf–head scepter striking the ground echoed from outside the hall.
Beata immediately stood at attention, but Adelaide recognized the approaching woman the moment she caught the white musk pheromones. Lycan Luna Camilla’s moon goddess totem cloak swept across the threshold, and her silk shoes embroidered with star wolf patterns gleamed with a pearly luster under the fluorescence.
“Adelaide Davidson,” Camilla’s voice was like melted silver honey, yet carried the inherent pressure of a high–ranking Alpha. “I’ve read the Southern Border battle report seventeen times. Your father must be so proud.”

Adelaide dropped to one knee, the scar of her temporary mark on the back of her neck growing warm under the pheromone impact. “The glory of the Frostfang Pack is forged by the claws and teeth of its warriors.”
She kept her head down and noticed the shoes of Lycan Luna–delicate shoe surfaces inlaid with rubies.
Previously, Beata had mentioned that Lycan Luna preferred simplicity. However, reality told a different story.
Adelaide had once visited the conference hall of the Moonlight Hall. Though not lavishly adorned, every item there was of premium quality. Even the tea cup trays were made of silver.
Just like her current attire, which was elegant and understated, yet accentuated with exquisite accessories.
Lifting her hand to gesture for Adelaide to rise, the shadow fang wolf–head bracelet on Lycan Luna’s wrist flickered with a faint light.
“Thank you, Lycan Luna Camilla,” Adelaide and Beata stood up but remained standing.
Lycan Luna scrutinized Adelaide.
She had encountered this she–wolf of the Davidson family once before, whose beauty was nothing short of stunning.
Now, returning from the battlefield, her skin had lost some of its former fairness. Yet, whether a fleeting glance or a thorough examination, she stood up to any gaze, a peerless beauty.
Recalling that Lycan Erasmus had asked her to inquire whether Adelaide would be willing to become a royal priestess, a tinge of sourness emerged in Lycan Luna’s heart.
A she–wolf like Adelaide, who was both capable and beautiful, would likely be extremely favored by Lycan Erasmus should she become a priestess.
