    Christine shook her head and continued, “Luna Cynthia is very attached to her daughter. She’s never opposed anything she wanted to do over the years. If I tried to stop her, Luna Cynthia would only resent <ol><li>me. </li></ol>


    “Moreover,” Christine added thoughtfully, “the Hutchinsons were once under Abbot’smand and <bter </b>followed Alpha Lance. I heard General Abbot returned to the capital. The Hutchinsons must be on the guest list. Has Gloria not considered this? How will she face the Hutchinsons at the party?”


    “But the Hutchinsons provided the proof of dissolution for Gloria’s previous mating. They were hoping she would re–mate. They’repassionate and would wish to see Gloria find a new mate, someone argued.


    “But she married Ulrik, who wronged Luna Adide. The entire Hutchinson family once followed Alpha Bentley. I doubt they’ve forgotten that,” Christine countered. –


    She recalled how Gloria, at her mating ceremony, hadpared her new wedding gifts with Adide’s.


    Gloria had been smug, thinking her gifts superior.


    Little did she know, Adide received numerous gifts that day, which made Gloriain.


    Christine didn’t believe Gloria and Adide could chat amicably. Even if Adide was kind, her polite words were likely for the sake of the Ironw Pack.


    “On the day of the birthday party, you keep an eye on her,” Christine instructed an omega.


    “Tad has just takenmand of the military. I can’t let her actions invite criticism.”


    “Yes, I understand. You can count on me,” the omega replied.


    Adide had indeed invited the Hutchinson family.


    Many of the Hutchinsons were royal wolf warriors or generals. Obadiah still served in the royal military.


    The elder Hutchinson female was Obadiah’s wife, Genevieve. Other female Hutchinsons, having lost family in battle, rarely attended social events.


    Military families bore pains iprehensible to civilians.


    Genevieve frequently attended social gatherings because her husband was still active, and her children were yet unmated. She needed to pave the way for their futures.


    Her eldest son, injured in the Southern Border War, had a disabled leg and hadn’t found a suitable mate. Her second son had passed the wolf warrior certification and was preparing for higher–level military exams. Her daughter Zea, though not in a rush to mate, had several families already setting mating agreements for her.


    Upon receiving the invitation, Genevieve nned to attend with her aunt, Sibyl.

    Sibyl was the mother of Gloria’ste mate. Genevieve had learned in advance that the ckthorn <b>Pack </b>hadn’t invited members of the Bloodmoon Pack. So she felt reassured about inviting Sibyl.


    Sibyl, long depressed over her son’s sacrifice, finally agreed to attend after much persuasion <b>for </b><b>the </b>sake <b>of </b>her other children’s futures.


    After quite a bit of persuading, Sibyl finally agreed to go.


    Genevieve prepared gifts for Sibyl and nned to visit the ckthorn Pack’s territory to celebrate Prisci’s birthday. She wanted the children to experience a broader world.


    March slipped into April, and Prisci’s birthday approached.


    Half a month prior, the ckthorn Pack had already been bustling with preparations. In the garden<b>, </b><b>along </b>with the flowers chosen by Prisci herself, Adide had additionally nted bougainvilleas. Now<b><i>, </i></b><b>they </b>were in full bloom, resembling magnificent clouds of purple and red.


    Three performance troupes were booked for non–stop shows. The wolf pack’s chefs <b>prepared </b>delicacies rivaling the capital’s finest.


    The feast featured eighteen courses, including rare ingredients and home–style dishes, with vegetarian options for Penelope, some Hutchinson members, and elder wolves.


    Adide wore a pink dress with a chiffon jacket, her makeup subtle and her hairstyle trendy, adorned with amethyst and pink diamond jewelry–a picture of elegance.


    Lance was in a dark suit with a tie and a pocket watch chain, handsome and authoritative.


    Prisci, in a gold–threaded floral gown and lightweight shawl, looked youthful at forty–two.


    She dyed her hair specially for the asion. She wore a red coral ne with plump, fiery beads. Her head jewels were mainly rubies, and her earrings matched. In her left hair bun, she had a hairpin with <i>a </i>big pink diamond. All the jewelry was custom–made by Adide as a birthday gift for her.


    Guests arrived one after another at the ckthorn Pack territory, and the party was about to begin.


    The weather today was exceptionally pleasant. The bright sunshine and the golden spots of light filtering through the branches created a warm atmosphere, uplifting everyone’s mood.


    Prisci sat on the sofa in the main parlor, epting guests‘ congrattions with a smile.


    Ralph was in charge of supervising the gift–receiving process. He carefully registered each notebook. He recorded in detail the gifts from each family. This was done to estimate the for future reference. When other families held events, gifts of equal value could be returned.

    All the guests were important and had high–status identities. Eachdy had dressed up. They <b>wore </b><b>bright </b>lipstick and dazzling jewelry, showing off their noble and elegant qualities.


    Prisci, seated on the sofa with a forced smile, felt her facial muscles ache.

    Prisci silently admired Adide’s poise and charm at such a grand event.
