Adelaide went out to tell an omega not to send meals to Priscilla’s room. She would personally invite Priscilla to dine in the restaurant.
Priscilla, with affected shyness, asked several times about Lance’s mood that day. Adelaide constantly reassured her, “He’s in a very good mood.”
Only then did Priscilla follow her to the dining hall with some relief.
Lance was already sitting at the table. On seeing his mother enter, he rose and said, “Mom, come and sit, won’t you?”
His tall and straight figure carried the steady presence unique to a werewolf general, and then he smiled gently at Priscilla.
Priscilla was taken aback–this reminded her of how the old Lycan King would slowly smile before bursting into anger.
Lance was becoming more and more like his father.
However, she nodded and said, “Sit,” and composed herself.
With Adelaide present, Lance surely wouldn’t lose his temper like the old Lycan King.
A little while later, Zelda and Cedric also came to the dining hall and took their seats.
During the meal, everyone was quiet. There was almost no communication between Priscilla and Lance, not even any eye contact.
But Adelaide carefully placed some roast meat on Priscilla’s plate, choosing the pieces she knew Priscilla liked. This showed how well the she–wolf remembered Priscilla’s preferences.
Thinking of this, Priscilla felt her mood improve and had an extra bowl of soup.
While coffee was being served after the meal, as she watched the servants clear the tableware, Priscilla was suddenly on the verge of tears–it was unclear whether from heartache or happiness.
Wasn’t this what she had longed for?
Her children dining quietly around her, no complaints from her son, no reproaches from him, no nagging or impatience.
When they drank coffee, they spoke of Penelope.
Ralph said, “The rumors outside/haven’t died down yet. The voices condemning Velda are growing louder. It’s said that Alpha Ulrik took her to the Stormridge Pack to apologize, but Penelope’s family turned them away. Velda, seeing this, ran off in a fit of anger.”
The Blackthorn Pack no longer avoided mentioning the Bloodmoon Pack, as everyone knew Luna Adelaide didn’t care.

Ralph continued, “It’s heard that Penelope is also dissatisfied with her family’s actions. She claims she didn’t take Velda’s words to heart. Since she’s done good deeds, she lets others talk; she doesn’t care about such things.”
Adelaide was marveling at Penelope’s high–mindedness when Priscilla frowned and said, “How can she not care? If someone spoke like that to me, I’d definitely teach them a lesson. Penelope is just too much of a pushover. If she keeps this up, her descendants will be bullied too.”
Lance said, “Penelope has lived this long. She’s probably seen every kind of situation and heard every kind of insult. As a kind–hearted person, a few harsh words likely don’t bother her at all.”
“How can that be? Penelope was doing charity work and was called a ‘old beggar‘ She’s a respected. philanthropist–what is Velda compared to her?”
Priscilla realized she’d used coarse language and awkwardly added, “Velda is so rude. I wonder how Gloria manages the Bloodmoon Pack.”
Ralph laughed and said, “Priscilla, you don’t know the half of it. The Bloodmoon Pack is in chaos now. Gloria wants to manage the pack, but Velda, considering herself a ‘status–equal mate, is more unmanageable than a regular breeder. What’s more, Velda knows how to fight. Gloria can’t do anything about her. It’s said the two wolf guards Gloria brought were beaten by Velda. Alpha Ulrik has to deal with these internal conflicts every day when he returns to the pack. How can he focus on his work?”
Priscilla sighed, “Then Gloria must be really pitiful.”
Paisley sneered, “What’s there to pity? They’re all the same kind. You probably don’t know that when Adelaide and Alpha Lance became mates, Gloria and Ulrik were bound. But Gloria tried to overshadow Adelaide at every turn. She even told the omegas serving her that Adelaide’s wedding gift was too simple.. Later, when many guests sent additional gifts, Gloria’s face turned sour.”
“Is that true? How do you know?” Priscilla pressed.
“Of course, I had someone investigate. The Olson family’s pack management is average at best–they can’t control the wolves‘ tongues. Anyway, Gloria has always been hostile toward Adelaide.”
Paisley sounded somewhat proud–she found that the people Adelaide got from Prunella were truly useful.
Adelaide recalled her two meetings with Gloria—the first was uneventful, but the second time, she sensed her hostility obviously.
She said indifferently, “We don’t associate anyway; let her hold a grudge.”
Priscilla snorted, “How ungrateful.”
Suddenly thinking of her son’s lost command of the Royal Army, she immediately said, “I just said she’s pitiful, but often the pitiful have annoying traits. None of them are good people. They even took away my son’s command of the Royal Army…”
“Priscilla!” Lance’s face darkened instantly. “Stop talking nonsense!”
Priscilla jumped and hurriedly clung to Adelaide’s arm like a wronged child.
She had only meant to express her love for her son, not understanding why he was angry with her.

Adelaide advised, “Priscilla, you really mustn’t say such things, not even within the pack. It was Lycan Erasmus’s decision.”
Priscilla nodded, “I understand.”
Adelaide gently patted Lance and said, “Don’t raise your voice like that.”
