A Female Alpha’s Revenge
Third Person’s POV
Cyrus’s eyes were red and tearful. He said, “We’re about to reim our southern border towns. I never thought I’d live to see this day. I can die content now.”
Elias knelt on one knee and tteringly said to Lycan Erasmus, “Lycan Erasmus, your wisdom in sending Adide to aid Alpha Lance on the southern border and secure Frostbite Town, along with the ample food supplies and military provisions, is unparalleled. One might even think the Western Tribes‘ wolves have delivered supplies straight to us.”
Adide, of course, hadn’t been sent by Erasmus.
But emphasizing his behind–the–scenes role highlighted his foresight.
Erasmus smiled, his aura softening.
“Your point is well taken. The Western Tribes have inadvertently solved our supply issues. With new supply depots, our wolves will be well–fed and equipped for the final push to Darkw Town
Erasmus was genuinely thrilled.
Recovering the southern border during his reign was his proudest achievement, one that would shine brightly in history.
But as his joy intensified, so did his regret.
The stronger his joy, the more he felt a twinge of regret.
He recalled his harsh words to Adide when she’d reported the situation.
He felt <i>a </i>deep debt to the Davidson family and the Frostfang Pack, especially since Alpha Bentley and his six sons had died in battle due to his dyed reinforcements.
He’d tried topensate by dering the Frostfang Pack’s permanent retention and making Adide its Alpha.
Yet here she was, earning merits again.
She preserved the Frostfang Pack’s legacy of loyalty to the wal
kingdom and the Lycan King.
Erasmus sighed inwardly. He remembered announcing Ulrik and Velda’s bonding, making Velda Ulrik’s second mate–a decision he now regretted.
Turning to Lycan Gamma Elias, he said decisively, “Adide’s merits are recognized. Alpha Lance’s promotion of her to Silver w <b>Gamma </b>stands, and I hereby knight her as ‘Silvermoon Fang Once Darkw Town falls and the southern border is reimed, she shall be promoted to Golden w Camma:
+8 Pearls
Battlefield promises must be honored. The Royal Elder Council President and Lycan Gamma understood–a new star was rising in the Frostfang Pack.
Whether Ulrik, seeing his former mate’s rise, felt regret was irrelevant.
But no matter how much he regretted, it was meaningless.
The kingdom buzzed with gossip over Adide dissolving her mate bond. Many suspected Bloodmoon Pack involvement.
Erasmus first knighted her as Silvermoon Fang, then promised a Golden w Gamma promotion upon victory. This demonstrated his high expectations for Adide.
The Royal Elder Council President agreed–her rapid rise was justified by her merits.
Cyrus noted, “Reinforcements are overdue. Velda’s promised arrival date has passed.”
Erasmus’s expression darkened slightly, but he still defended them, “Traveling in snow is treacherous.
Elias added, “Lycan Erasmus, Adide is now a Silvermoon Fang Knight, while Alpha Ulrik and Velda remain Silver ws without knighthood–positionally lower than Adide.”
Typically, Ulrik and Velda’s diplomatic pact with the Western Tribes should outweigh Adide’s contributions.
Elias highlighted <b>this </b>discrepancy.
Erasmus countered, “So what? They traded their merits for bonding permission.”
Elias realized Ulrik had used his merits to bond with Velda, depleting his advancement capital.
Erasmus had promoted the young pair to bolster the kingdom’s wolf general ranks, depleted by Alpha Bentley <b>and </b>his sons‘ sacrifice.
At that time, he was unaware that the Frostfang Pack would rise a powerful female general.
He hadn’t fully investigated it yet, so he maintained a reserved stance toward Velda.
Lance’s report on the Bloodscar victory’s oddities and the Western Tribes‘ shifting stance had prompted a discreet <b>inquiry</b>.
But with the southern border <b>in </b>crisis, the investigation would take time.
“Publicize the Frostbite Town victory We’ll recognize all merits <b>and </b>demerits upon their return to the <b>capital</b>. I’ll <b>not </b>slight her,
<b>in </b><b>court</b>, <b>but </b>keep Adide’s merits under wraps for …
Erasmus dered.
“Yes, my lord!” Cyrus and Elias responded in <b>unison</b>.
fawn upon her rise–a perfect litmus test.
