Third Person’s POV
Lycan Erasmus listened to her explanation. Though he smiled, his eyes remained sharp. Given your past
grievances with the Bloodmoon Pack, why did you cto their ald?”
“Human lives were at stake. The Bloodmoon Pack and | don’t have irreconcilable differences. Moreover, as the
Ironthorn Army’s deputy commander, | couldn’t stand by and do nothing.” Adelaide replied.
Lycan Erasmus nodded slowly. “Your explanation makes sense. But did you know the invaders were after Velda?”
“I didn’t know at the time. After disarming them, | had Emerson tie them up. | left once Ellen arrived, Adelaide
said.
Lycan Erasmus sighed. “A pity the invaders are dead; we can’t trace their backers. You fought them-any idea of
their origin?”
Adelaide shook her head. “No clear idea.”
Lycan Erasmus frowned, his imperial pheromones-a blend of white musk and dragon’s breath-rippling with
probing pressure. “How long did you tussle with them?” he asked.
Adelaide paused, her cedar pheromones steady and calm. “I didn’t tit exactly, but it was about five or six
minutes,” she said, her tone even and detached.
Unwilling to admit she'd swiftly subdued the invaders, she knew the Capital Police must have investigated -it was
impossible to hide.
During the fight, her claws shifted in an instant. Her silver-gray talons precisely sliced through the enemy’s
wrists. She could even smell their inferior pheromones, disrupted by intense pain.
Lycan Erasmus’s eyes flickered with approval, a dark gold glint in his eyes. “In five or six minutes, you
neutralized the threat? Ulrik and Velda together couldn't do that. You're far more skilled. If you were a male wolf,
you could've inherited your father’s position.”

His aura carried a hint of warmth-a recognition of strength.
Adelaide shook her head, cedar pheromones tinged with faint sorrow. “I just want to see Cedric grow up well.
Among my kin, only he remains.”
Lowering her eyes as she spoke, Adelaide didn’t meet his gaze. She didn’t see the relief and regret that crossed
his eyes.
The faint aura she exerted was completely reined in, like a sheathed blade,
If she were a male wolf, she'd be a legendary general like her father.
Though a she-wolf, she was fully capable of leading.
It was a pity she was the one Lance desired. Lycan Erasmus would surely try to mate with her, clipping her wings
and barring her from military affairs.

Her role as Ironclaw Army’s deputy commander was merely honorary.
Fortunately, she was sensible enough not to abuse this position.
Lycan Erasmus studied her. “I know the Blackthorn Pack has a Wolf Warrior Guard, led by a Warscar Trainee? And
a lady from the Stephens family is also with you?”
Adelaide confirmed, “Avery and | fought on the Southern Border. He earned your reward. His pack’s tough life led
his mentor to send him to the capital for work. As for Paisley, she’s an old friend staying within the capital.”
Erasmus acknowledged, “I was just curious. You may leave.”
Adelaide bowed and said, “Okay, I'm heading back now.”
Stepping out of Lycan Erasmus’s study, Adelaide let out a small sigh of relief.
She was glad she’d gone to the Bloodmoon Pack herself. If Paisley or Avery had gone, Lycan Erasmus’s doubts
would have deepened.
Warscar Trainees bearing arms in the capital at night violated regulations, and their ties to the Blackthorn Pack
would have raised more questions.
Meanwhile, in the Dragon Ash Werewolf Kingdom's border city, post-war military presence remained
strong.

Especially now, during negotiations to exchange hostages for Frostbite Town, the prison holding captives was
under heavy guard.
Lance and his team had spent days in the border city, mapping out the fortress where Eugenius was held.
It was a heavily guarded military fortress on the border, solid as a rock.
And they had got the prison layout inside the high-walled fortress figured out,
They were unaware of the five-day deadline Tad set.
Tomorrow was the final day of that deadline.
Lance knew Victor would negotiate with Tad again tomorrow.
Though unaware of the deadline, he sensed Tad wouldn't prolong the talks.
