Such grave topics suffocated her.
Annoyed and at a loss for words, she waved them away.
“Leave. I’m resting.”
With Omega Susan’s support, Prisci left.
Adide bowed and called out loudly, “Farewell, Prisci.”
Startled by the sudden volume, Prisci stumbled, nearly falling.
Third Person’s POV
Omega Susan, with her strength, steadied Prisci.

She acutely sensed the sudden surge of Adide’s pheromones upon uttering those words, so potent that even Prisci’s neck nds throbbed.
Mortified at her perceived loss of dignity, Prisci neverthelessposed herself, straightened her hair, and strode out arrogantly, supported by Susan.
Adide exhaled slightly, relieved.
Prisci was assertive but not insidious, a refreshing contrast to the duplicitous.
She turned to Princess Zelda, who regarded her with evident admiration, and smiled. “Princess Zelda, it’s been a while.”
Zelda’s eyes widened with curiosity. “Have we met before?”
“Yes, when you were but a child. You don’t recall?”
Adide remembered Lycan Erasmus visiting the Frostfang Pack with a little girl on his back–Princess Zelda.
Zelda tilted her head, the silver moon–beam earrings at her ears swaying, her vertical pupils reflecting the frost wolf totem on Adide’s pauldron. “I don’t remember.”
Her fingers absent–minded ly caressed the royal crest at her waist. “But I know of Gamma Adide!”
She suddenly grasped Adide’s wrist, her palm’s warmth transmitted through the leather guard. “I heard you’re to bond with my brother. You’ll be my family! How wonderful!”
Adide smiled gently, her snow–cedar pheromones blending with a hint ofurel softness.
She recalled Zelda’s childhood visits to the Frostfang Pack, her plump paws tugging at her battle–boots, her voice high and sweet as she begged for candy.
Now the girl had lost her baby fat, her jawline hinting at royal elegance, yet her eyes still held the rity of a young wolf.
“Barring ident, we will be family,” Adide said.
Princess Zelda shook her arm, her rose–oil hair and sweet, youthful scent filling the air. “I admire you so much! Lycan rissa and Lycan Erasmus both say you’re our kingdom’s finest female general.”
She suddenly lowered her voice, her nose scrunching adorably. “It used to be Velda getting all the praise<b>. </b><b>I </b>wasn’t a big fan of her. I met her once<b>–</b>haughty and ill–mannered, unlike you, who are both dignified and charming.”

“But Lycan rissa says women shouldn’t gossip, as misunderstandings can damage reputations. I’ll more<b>, </b>except that I don’t like her.”
Her tone ended with a joyful howl, like a yful wolf pup in the snow.
Adide smiled at the bubbly princess.
This girl, <b>as </b>sweet as candy, always lifted spirits.
As Zelda lingered to chat, a wolf–man guard called out, “Princess, Prisci requests your return.”
say no
Zelda responded and turned to Adide. “Prisci’s calling. Don’t mind her–she’s not the least bit fierce.”
“Yes, Prisci’s very kind and amusing,” Adide said with a smile.
“The kind that ps first and asks questionster, and amusing in her stumbling retreat,” she added to herself.
Zelda nodded eagerly. “Right, right! Kind and amusing! You’re spot–on, Adide.”
“Princess!” the guard called again.
“Coming!” Zelda reluctantly released Adide’s wrist. “Adide, visit the pce again soon. I want to hear about the battlefield.”
“Soon,” Adide said. “I’m sure Prisci will invite me again.”
Every word fell into Omega Susan’s ears. Her neck fur bristled with shock.
How had Adide known?
Prisci’s earlier departure had been marked by her wolf–headed cane drumming the moonstone floor in frustration, sulfurous pheromones still hanging in the air, “Summon her again to persuade her!”
Zelda skipped away.
Adide nced at the main hall–truly dazzling in its opulence.
Outside, Beata waited anxiously in the shade.
Seeing Adide emerge, she rushed forward. “Alpha Adide, did Prisci cause you any trouble?”
“No trouble at all. Prisci was very kind,” Adide smiled.
Beata doubted it. “Really? I saw her storm out, fuming.”
Beata hid in the shade of a tree. Though she was some distance away, she could still clearly see Prisci’s every move as she left the hall. Prisci seemed to be brimming with rage, her posture rigid and her steps faltering, like a duck puffed up in frustration.
“<b>Yes</b>? I didn’t notice her anger. I found her rather… um, talkative.”

Adide shielded her eyes from the sun. “Let’s visit Lycan rissa’s pce.<b>” </b>
Back at rissa’s, Adide recounted the encounter. rissaughed heartily, tears streaming.

Wiping her eyes with a handkerchief from Omega Tracy, she said, “You’re her match. My sister finally meets her equal. I wish I’d been there. She’s usually so domineering, thinking everyone’s at her mercy. Now she’s met her match.”
