Penelope slowly stood up and said, “She keeps an eye on Luna Adide, yet Adide has never truly noticed her.”
After a pause, she advised the young she–wolves, “Learn from Luna Adide. When you achieve something, be generous, think long–term, and have a broad vision and high–mindedness.”
Everyone responded in unison, “Yes.”
Despite efforts to hide it, Ulrik’s demotion reached Rosemary.
She beat her chest and wept bitterly, cursing that taking in Velda, the troublemaker, had ruined Ulrik’s
career.
She sent for Velda, but Velda ignored her and even drove away Rosemary’s omega.)
Enraged, Rosemary beat the bedboard andmented to Ulrik, “Why did I ever take on such a burden? What bad luck!”
She said through tears and snot, “When she hadn’t mated with you yet<b>, </b>she came to me and ttered me <b>so </b>much. She said your futures were secure and that the Bloodmoon Pack would rise with both of you. Look at you now, just a patrol officer. What future is there in that?”
Officials had been demoted before, but never to such a low rank.
In the capital, there were no officials of this caliber.
Ulrik sat quietly, memories of the past feeling like a lifetime ago.
He brought Velda back and the exact circumstances were a bit fuzzy in his mind.
He only recalled telling Adide once that his mother doted on Velda. He’d also mentioned that should he and Velda have children in the future, they’d be ced in Adide’s care. He assured her that even as Luna, Adide’s authority wouldn’t be undermined.
At the time, he thought himself merciful.
Now, it seemedughable–like offering a rich man a dor and expecting gratitude.
He never truly understood Adide. He knew she was trained inbat but dismissed her capabilities.
Velda’s views on she–wolf independence surprised him.
He’d never imagined such self–reliant she–wolves existed, with umon mental fortitude.
He once thought Adide inferior to him but didn’t want to hurt her, so he chose Velda as his <b>mate</b>.
Later<b>, </b>conflicts arose, leading him to dissolve the mating bond.
He was desperate for Velda then, believing a man’s career paramount and that he needed to revitalize the

Bloodmoon Pack.
He loved Velda and sought her support.
But he never anticipated the current situation.
Faced with his mother’s fury and tears, he was speechless. All of this was his doing.
He and Velda’s love had soured into mutual loathing.
His union with Gloria was also calcted, aiming to gain royal support.
He knew Lycan Erasmus had given him chances, but now Velda’s insult and Gloria’s order to break someone’s limbs had brought usations of illegal detention and private interrogation.
His prospects were bleak.
He felt despondent, unable to defend against his mother’s usations.
He once had a promising future. Why did Adide conceal her abilities?
He had promised Aire no breeders in his life.
But that promise was before meeting Velda on the battlefield.
Campaign life was grueling. He simply met someone who shared his ideals and who oftenforted him.
It was Adide’s intolerance, he thought. He’d see if she’d cause a fuss when Lance had a breeder.
If not, it proved her greed and disdain for him.
Prisci now lived in the ckthorn Pack and would surely find him a breeder this year.
“Then, Adide, you’d better go to seek a dissolution of your mating bond.”
Rumors of Velda’s capture and assault by the Western Tribe’s wolves began circting.
Simr tales had surfaced after returning from the Southern Border but were quickly quashed.
But this time, ever since they returned from apologizing to Penelope, although no one dumped garbage at the Bloodmoon Pack’s entrance anymore, the rumors about Velda’s capture and humiliation had spread like wildfire.
The news traveled so fast that within days, it had swept through the entire capital and was bound to <b>read </b>to the surrounding areas.
The ckthorn Pack buzzed with talk. Adide found it odd.
Why would such old news resurface now with such intensity?
Could there be a leak?
The Ironw Army knew the truth, but discipline was strict; they shouldn’t have leaked it.

When Lance returned from the Ministry of Justice, Adide asked him about it.
Lance sat down, sipped his coffee, and frowned. “This is a deliberate leak. I just found out yesterday. The Western Tribe’s Prince Dominic has been designated the future Lycan King.”
“Prince Dominic of the Western Tribe?” Adide echoed.
