Jasmine took the message and headed to the performance area to find Adide. She ryed Paisley’s words in a low voice.
At <b>that </b>moment, Adide was apanying guests watching the show. On her left sat Penelope from the Stormridge Pack, and on her right was <b>Sibyl</b>.
The stage was featuring a birthday–themed performance. Given that it was a birthday banquet, such acts were <b>nothing </b>out of the ordinary.
Thedies present, though having witnessed simr shows multiple times before, had gathered not merely for the spectacle but for thepany–to engage in conversation <b>and </b>to strengthen the bonds between them.
Adide’s attentiveness to Sibyl’s feelings stemmed not from Gloria but from the fact that Sibyl was Eugene’s mother.
Eugene had initially served under Alpha Zander before being transferred to her father’smand.
Sibyl’s three sons <b>had </b>all met tragic ends. Now, she had only a breeder son and two daughters left.
Adide understood all too well the agony of losing loved ones.
Sibyl, unable to emerge from her grief, had shown remarkable kindness in agreeing to let Gloria leave.
It was often the gentle souls who were most vulnerable to suffering.
In reality, no one was truly watching the performance. Instead, the guests were engrossed in hushed conversations.
Sibyl clutched Adide’s hand tightly, fighting back tears as she whispered, “<b>Luna </b>Adide, what kind of person is that Ulrik? Is <b>he </b>wicked?”
“Rest easy,” Adide soothed her. “Now that Gloria has left the pack, you needn’t worry <b>about </b>her anymore. Take care of your health and your daughters.”
Sibyl spoke sorrowfully, I know I shouldn’t meddle, but my son Eugene was such a fine person. Ulrik, after earning military honors, abandoned his mate–he’s not a suitable match. Before my son fell in battle, every letter he sent back was filled with thoughts of Gloria. I’m certain he wouldn’t want her second <b>chance </b>to be with someone like Ulrik.”
“The Olsons aren’t pushovers, Adide said. “Regardless of who Ulrik is, with the Ironw Pack <b>backing </b>Gloria, she won’t be wronged.”
She paused briefly before <b>adding</b>, “Don’t concern yourself with others. Living your own life well is what truly matters. After all, we’re no longer family. Since she’s been <b>given </b>the proof of the mating bond dissolution, her choice of whom to mate with is her own. The consequences of her future, <b>good </b>or bad. should be <b>hers </b>to bear,”

Sibyl sighed slowly, “Adide, you’re right. I was being nosy
Truth be told, Sibyl <b>and </b>Adide <b>weren’t </b>particrly close. They had only met a few times in Adide’s youth.
After Adide returned from the Shadow Peaks, the families had <b>some </b>interactions, but it was mainly Aire <b>who </b>dealt with them, <b>with </b>Adide merely stopping by to offer greetings.
But after losing her son, Sibyl felt as if she had lost her anchor. Seeing Adide reminded her that her son had served under Alpha Zander andter under Alpha Bentley, which made her feel an inexplicable sense of connection.
As they spoke, a servant approached. “Sibyl, ourdy requests your presence.”
This servant was <b>Thalia</b>, Christine’s omega.
Genevieve asked, “What does she want with me?”
Thalia replied, “She wishes to chat with Sibyl and reminisce,
Genevieve turned to Sibyl, ‘Sibyl, would you like to see her?”
<b>Aware </b>of Christine’s kindness, Sibyl agreed, “Let’s go and visit.”
She released Adide’s <b>hand </b>and whispered, “Luna Adide, I’ve heard your words and taken them to heart. You needn’t worry about me.”
Adide stood to let her <b>leave</b>. The music from the stage was loud, drowning out their conversation from anyone beyond their immediate circle.
Naturally, Adide had deliberately ced Genevieve and Penelope on either side of her to ensure their discussion remained private.
Once Sibyl and Genevieve had left, Penelope similed at Adide and said, “Luna Adide, yourpassion will surely bring you blessings in the future.”
Adide humbly smiled in response, I merely seek peace of mind can’tpare to your magnanimity, Penelope.
Penelope shook her head, “With your current standing, Luna Adide, <b>no </b>one would dare to wrong you. You could take a firm stance against those who have offended you. People would cheer for it, and there would be little criticism. Even if there were, you needn’t concern yourself. Yet, you choose not to.”
“Penelope, I am but an ordinary person. Life is like a y, yet not quite a y–there’s no need for constant conflict. However, if someone dares to bully <b>me</b>, I won’t allow it.”
Why would <b>an </b>ordinary person need so many battles?
<b>Her </b>weapons were reserved for true enemies–those who threatened <b>their </bnd.
If left in peace, she would dly live a quiet and stable life. Only those who had experienced war <b>could </b>truly appreciate the value of peace.
