Adelaide handed the receipt to the manager on the first floor. The manager promptly had someone bring over
coffee, invited her to sit down, and personally retrieved the item.
The manager was tall and thin, moving with agility. In no time, he returned with a box and presented it to
Adelaide. “Please check it.”
She opened the box to find a large gold bracelet-a gaudy, oversized piece.
Craig usually had impeccable taste, so Adelaide had high expectations for this gift. The bracelet, however, was a
letdown.
Its only merit was its weight and flashy golden luster, exuding an air of exaggerated luxury.
The manager's grand reception was likely due to the bracelet’s eye-catching nature.
Though disappointed, Adelaide appreciated Craig's thoughtfulness.
She tried it on briefly before quickly removing it and placing it back in the box-Starlight Jewelry Store was busy,
and she didn’t want to draw attention.
After handing the box to Jasmine, Adelaide turned to find Luna Cynthia approaching.
“Greetings, Luna Cynthia,” Adelaide nodded politely.
“Adelaide,” Luna Cynthia smiled faintly. “With your mating ceremony approaching, why are you out?”
“Just picking something up,” Adelaide replied.
Luna Cynthia took a step forward and softly said, “Adelaide, may we speak privately?”
Noticing her gentle expression and the plea in her eyes, Adelaide agreed, “Of course. There's a café next door;
let's sit there.”
They secured a private booth, with Jasmine and Luna Cynthia's omega waiting outside.
Once seated, Luna Cynthia began, “I haven't congratulated you yet. Wishing you and Lance a long and happy
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlife together.”
“Thank you,” Adelaide accepted graciously, reciprocating, “And congratulations to Gloria and Alpha Ulrik on their
union.”
A wry smile crossed Luna Cynthia's face. “That day when | brought Gloria to the Frostfang Pack was
unavoidable.”
“There's no need for such formality, Luna Cynthia,” Adelaide said.
“I know you withheld sdetails that day. We're all aware-you left the Bloodmoon Pack before they schemed
to seize half your personal assets.”

Adelaide hadn't been specific that day, primarily observing Gloria's evident satisfaction with Ulrik.
Had she disclosed Ulrik’s interest in her assets, it would have only bred Gloria's resentment and suspicion,
making Adelaide seem deliberately slanderous.
“Gloria's quite naive,” she continued. “When Mrs. Voss inquired, Gloria agreed without hesitation. We couldn't
refuse this matter. I'm sure you understand the reasons.”
Adelaide nodded. “I have a general idea.”
It was clear: with Tad at the helm of the Royal Army, Lycan Erasmus intended for Ulrik to mate with the Olsons*
she-wolf. The union between the two packs would secure Tad’s promotion of Ulrik.
If the Ironclaw Pack refused, the Royal Army might replace its commander.
The Ironclaw Pack, already in decline, couldn't afford to miss such an opportunity.
“So that day, Adelaide said not a word against Ulrik. Gloria, thinking Adelaide hadn't maligned Ulrik, didn’t hold a
grudge.”
Adelaide nodded again. “I understand.”
She hadn’t overthought things that day. Upon meeting Gloria and hearing her words, Adelaide realized Gloria
was smitten with Ulrik. Regardless of whether Ulrik had schemed to take her assets, Gloria was determined to
mate with him.
Thus, their visit wasn't to assess Ulrik’s character but to gauge Adelaide’s feelings toward him-whether hatred or
affection.
Without either. Gloria felt relieved.
Seeing through Gloria's intentions that day, Adelaide had been deliberately vague.
Luna Cynthia continued, “The Bloodmoon Pack once plotted to expel you and seize half your assets. Ulrik
disagreed, refusing even a dollar. But when Velda wrote to him, urging him to withhold half your assets, he
changed his stance. You didn’t finish that part of the story, leaving Gloria much more at ease.”
Adelaide understood. It seemed Tamara truly couldn’t control the Bloodmoon Pack.
The pack’s omegas spread these private matters so effortlessly, and every detail was leaked.
Adelaide simply smiled and nodded.
She had little to say to Luna Cynthia and was unsure why she’d chosen this moment to reveal these truths.

Luna Cynthia looked embarrassed.

Adelaide sipped her coffee, her expression unreadable. “Sabrina, right? And Gloria believed her?”
“I told her not to, but she did. She thinks...”
Luna Cynthia hesitated, struggling to voice the rest.
