Third Person’s POV
After Adide sat down, she recounted the entire Soulrend Pack incident.
She didn’t embellish anything, including how Paisley struck Willow.
Princess Yvette nodded at Paisley approvingly. “Good for you!” she said, then mmed the table.

“What a tramp! She doesn’t even respect you, a Luna. Can you imagine what Melinda’s life is like there? Now she’s pregnant and still gets no love from her mate. How’s she supposed to live?”
Princess Margot immediately grasped Adide’s intent.
She sipped her coffee slowly, a flicker of anger in her eyes–her father–inw headed the Royal Inspection Bureau, and she usually spoke carefully.
She set her cup down. “Yvette, why the rage? Calm down.”
“Calm down? I can’t!”
Princess Yvette retorted. Though not usually reckless, she empathized deeply with women’s struggles.
As a princess, she was free–spirited, but she wasn’t unaware of her people’s lives.
“While we do allow Alphas to have breeders,” Princess Margot said slowly, “there are clearws. But even with legal protection for mates, few obey.”
Thew permitted Alphas to have breeders if their mate was over forty and childless, for the pack’s inheritance.
Yet no officials or nobles followed it.
Thisw was a dead letter and couldn’t restrain any Alpha.
So, if they report Dwight for this, no royal official would be exonerated.
But Dwight was different. His breeder, Willow, was from a nightclub.
Officials were banned from red–light districts, a rule the old Lycan King stressed.
Lycan Erasmus had rxed it somewhat, but Dwight, full of self–proimed talent, loved the limelight there, attracting she–wolves.
He took Willow as his breeder on a whim.
Visiting red–light districts, bringing a call girl into the pack as a breeder while his mate’s pregnant–there
was more<b>. </b>
He used one breeder’s money to pay another’s breach fee.
He got his girl for free.
It was shameful.

“Benjamin heads the Royal Inspection Bureau,” Princess Margot added. “He mentioned wanting to restore the former Lycan King’s strict official discipline. He’s been discussing this with bureau officials. Dwight’s casees at the wrong time.”
Adide smiled. “Perfect timing. Let’s wait a day or two. Willow got beaten today. Dwight’s probably heartbroken. I met him once. He was disdainful. He might cause trouble. I wonder if ‘offending a royal Luna‘ is a crime.”
Princess Margot said, “Dwight thinks he’s a genius. As a top university graduate picked by Lycan Erasmus. he should set an example.”
“His family chaos, visiting red–light districts openly, bringing Willow in as a breeder, neglecting his pregnant mate–all because Willow insulted a royal Luna. The Royal Inspection Bureau will dig deep.
Adide felt relieved.
Directly confronting Dwight would only make him resentful and hurt Melinda more.
But with the bureau watching him, would he dare to act out?
If he did, his future would be ruined.
After her anger subsided, Princess Yvette criticized Melinda, “She’s <i>too </i>weak. As a royal, she shouldn’t let the Soulrend Pack bully her like this.”
“Her personality has always been timid,” Adide said. “You know what her father, Alpha Howell, is like. Raised in that environment, how could she be strong? Other royals wouldn’t be treated this <i>way</i>.”
Paisley said gloomily, “She loves Dwight too much. What’s so great about him? All show and no substance. If it were me, I’d discipline him daily until he behaves.”
Princess Margot sighed, “That’s why, even if your husband treats you well now, always keep some distance. Never give your whole heart. Otherwise, being hurt could be devastating.
Turning to Adide, she asked, “When Ulrik hurt you, you dissolved the mating bond without a word. Seems you didn’t have deep feelings for him.”
“At the time, I did want to make it work,” Adide replied. “But we barely spent time together. We never really got to know each other, so there was no liking.”
“Consider yourself lucky,” Yvette said, disdain filling her eyes.
“That Velda, what makes her think she can insult Penelope? I want to send someone to teach her a lesson.”
