Chapter 137
Adelaide's POV
I knew Clarissa, as the former Lycan Luna, wouldn't wait for me to report
everything.

Since she intended to look out for me, she must have someone monitoring Priscilla's actions. So, she'd surely aware of what happened.
Beata and I guzzled honey-orange cold drinks, ignoring Clarissa's uncontrollable laughter.
We'd been so thirsty on our detour that we just wanted to soothe our throats.
After finishing, I said, "Actually, Priscilla's not that hard to deal with.” At least she's more straightforward than some.
"Hard to deal with? You must be talking about my sister," Clarissa's arctic wolf pheromones spread with amusement, shaking frost from the crystal chandelier.
Her fingers brushed the gilded wolf-head teacup, and I caught a glimpse of my silver-tipped ears in the cup's reflection.
"Priscilla's struck fear into the entire palace. Even Luna Camilla avoids her," she said.
I thought to myself, Who wouldn't steer clear of Priscilla's domineering attitude?
But if I had to choose, I'd rather deal with Priscilla than Luna Camilla, whose words are laced with hidden barbs.
I picked up my cup for another drink.
The beverage, infused with honey-orange and wolfsbane, was refreshingly cool.
I added, "Having weathered the battlefield's storms, I've come to value Priscilla's blunt nature."
This was partly true and made Clarissa laugh even harder.
Beata suddenly grasped my wrist, her wolf ears flattened with worry. "Don't drink too much. Shaman Digby said your wolf needs rest; overusing wolfsbane might hinder your self-healing."
Clarissa, upon hearing this, had water brought over. "I'm well-aware of Digby's expertise. Heed his advice and cut down on wolfsbane-infused drinks. Battle- scarred wolves are already weakened from overusing their abilities. You must recover soon. Once the bonding ceremony is done, you'll be ready to bear pups."

My face flushed, and I quickly drank some water.
Clarissa teased, "Shy now, aren't you? It's inevitable."
"What's inevitable?" came Lycan Erasmus's hearty voice from the door.

His white musk pheromones surged in like a glacial blast, forcing the candles to lean.

Dressed in a bright-yellow dragon-patterned war-mail with frost-wolf badges still dusted with snow, he'd evidently just left the conference hall.
I stood up promptly. "Lycan Erasmus."

As I bowed, my silver-blue eyes caught the tooth patterns on his golden war- boots.
"Oh? Gamma Adelaide's here too?" His voice carried the royal detachment, yet his gaze lingered briefly on the silver moon fang emblem at my cuff-a flicker of intensity in his eyes.
"Yes, Priscilla summoned me for a chat," I replied.
Once seated, Erasmus glanced at me and said with a smile, "Clarissa's quite fond of you. Do visit the palace often to keep her company."
I acknowledged his words, but Clarissa interjected, "You'd better leave now. Lycan Erasmus must have business with me."
When Erasmus sat down, his armor clashed with the throne in a sharp ring. "No need. I'm just resting. Adelaide's presence is a bonus. I'd like to ask about the Southern Border."
I stiffened slightly, clutching my skirt.
Beata stood nearby. I knew she sensed my unease-the Frostfang-born pride in me rebels at submission.
Clarissa chuckled softly. "Tired just now, yet eager for war talk? Why not ask Lance for details?"
Her arctic wolf pheromones formed a shield, easing the room's tension.
"Adelaide's here, so I'll ask her,”
Erasmus said, turning to me. His vertical pupils, etched with aurora patterns, shimmered. "I hear you led the fronthorn Army as vanguard in the Darkclaw Town siege, with Ulrik supporting you. So the victory was a joint effort?" !
My wolf growled a warning in my mind-I sensed danger.
The battle reports clearly outlined the roles.
But Lycan Erasmus deliberately blurred the lines, likely for a reason.
I kept my voice steady. "Battlefield success hinges on teamwork. Alpha Lance
had Ulrik back me and the Ironthorn Army."
Erasmus tapped the throne's
armrest. The wolf-carved eyes caught my whitening knuckles. I've beem to war too. I understand. But
didn't Alpha Lance take a risk by
partnering you two? Given your past
disputes." The content is on

His words were like a poisoned dagger, reopening old wounds.
I looked up in surprise. "Alpha Lance's decision wasn't wrong. We did take Darkclaw Town. As for any past issues with Alpha Ulrik, they were set aside in the
face of a common enemy."

Erasmus's expression turned grave. "You could set them aside, but Velda couldn't. She disrupted your mission, nearly derailing the siege. As commander, should Alpha Lance have anticipated Velda's jealousy- driven interference? The Southern
Border's recapture was decisive. Every risk should have been averted, yet he failed." !
