Adide appreciated rissa’s kindness but shook her head. “If I rely on your favor to defy Prisci, she’ll only resent me more once Lance and I are truly mated. And while you can protect me today, you can’t shield me in the ckthorn Pack tomorrow.”
rissa looked at her and said, “You’re always so sensible. It breaks my heart.”
rissa’s white musk pheromones suddenly formed aurel branch shape, gently wrapping around her
wrist.
“It’s just Prisci–spoiled by my family and me, with a willful personality. When she moves to the ckthorn Pack to live with you, you might have to endure some sufferings,” rissa said.
“Today, let’s see what she says. If she’s too outrageous, I’ll reprimand her,” rissa added.
Adide smiled and said, “Thank you for your concern, Lycan rissa. With you watching over me, I won’t be wronged.”
rissa smiled gently. “Go on, I’ll send someone to check inter.”
Adide nodded and took her leave.
At noon, the sun was scorching as Adide and Beata followed a royal guard through the pce gardens.
The guard, under Prisci’s management, had been waiting outside.
Though there were shaded walkways avable, he deliberately led them through the strongest sunlight, even looping around in some areas for <i>a </i>long time, to the point of retracing their steps twice.
Adide, as a powerful Alpha, was unaffected, but Beata was struggling–sweating, dizzy, headache- ridden, and on the verge of nausea, showing signs of heatstroke.
Adide had anticipated the visit wouldn’t be simple and had brought medicine from Shaman Digby.
Seeing Beata’s difort, she administered the potion and fanned her to cool down.
Noticing the guard also seemed faint, Adide offered, “Would you like a pill too?”
The guard, indeed following Prisci’s orders to make things difficult, had been wilting under the sun for half an hour, his lips turning white.
Grateful for Adide’s offer and seeing no one around, he whispered, “Thank you, Alpha Adide.”
As a low–ranking guard in Prisci’s night patrol, he was used to being overlooked.
But Adide’spassion moved him.
Swallowing the bitter–tasting yet cooling medicine, he felt a rare warmth.

The lower–ranking wolf guards and omegas in the pce were the most looked–down–upon and insignificant beings. No one respected them, and no one cared about them.
But now, feeling someone’s concern for once, a flicker of warmth stirred in his heart. He nced swiftly at Adide and said, “Follow me, Alpha Adide.”
This time, he guided them to a shaded colonnade, bypassing the sun’s re, and headed for Prisci’s pce.
Upon arrival, the guard announced their presence.
Soon, an older Omega emerged, nced at Adide, and asked, “Miss Davidson?”
Adide affirmed.
The omega’s gray ear–tip fur trembled in the silver grass incense. Her knobby hand brushed the wolf–head copper badge at her waist.
“Follow me, Prisci awaits.”
Her pine pheromones, mixed with the musty smell of old parchment, curled into a ball under Adide’s cedarwood pressure.
She left Beata outside and entered. The hall’s white jade bricks gleamed, and luxury surrounded her.
At the hall’s center sat ady in purple, resembling Lance in features.
She knew that this was Prisci.
Adide knelt gracefully, her posture impable, a testament to her year of etiquette training post- Shadow Peaks. “Adide greets Prisci,” she said, her voice steady.
Prisci’s cold voicemanded, “Raise your head.”
Adide slowly lifted her head as instructed and faced Prisci, though she avoided eye contact. Yet, she could still sense the coldness in Prisci’s gaze.
“Humph, so you do have a captivating face. No wonder my son’s smitten,” Prisci sneered, her nails digging into the armrest.
A high–ranking omega assisted her as she approached Adide, hand raised to strike.
“How dare you seduce my son, you tramp?”
Before the pnded, Adide grasped Prisci’s wrist.
Prisci, a mix of shock and fury, was preempted by Adide’s warning, “A priestess should beware retaliation. Should you harm me, my wolf will shift and retaliate. You’ll be wed.”
“If you insist on striking me yourself, then I must warn you again,” Adide added.
Whether true or not<b>, </b>she couldn’t risk injury.
