Novel Male 349_A Female Alpha’s Revenge

Third Person’s POV

 After Rowena took her leave, Prisci hurried to the conference hall

 She found Adide there, sipping coffee slowly and looking pensive. Prisci asked, “I heard Rowena was here. I came specially to chat with her.”

 Adide rose and greeted her with a bow. “Rowena left just a short while ago.”

 “Already gone?” Prisci panted as she sat down. “Wasn’t she here to see me?”

 She was rather disappointed, having thought that Rowena hade specially to see her.

 She had always envied Madison, as so many distinguished she–wolves always came to visit her.

 “She dide for you, but hearing you were still asleep fromst night’s drinking, she didn’t want to disturb and left, Adide exined.

 Prisci’s disappointment was evident.

 She said, “Your indulgence in drink has cost you an opportunity.”

 Prisci was reminded ofst night’s incident where Lance had flown into a rage. She nced at Adide cautiously and asked, “Did Lance do anything to youst night?”

 Adide coughed. “No, he just scolded me a bit when we got back, and then it was over.”

 “just a scolding?” Prisci noticed Adide’s unease and knew she was lying.

 She was well–aware of her son’s temperament.

 When his bottom line was crossed, a few words wouldn’t cate him.

 She felt a pang of sympathy for Adide, who had likely borne the brunt of Lance’s wrath and was now covering it up.

 Prisci felt a twinge of sympathy. “Though you manage the pack’s internal affairs and have the final say on epting breeders, if he disapproves, drop the matter. Better to avoid his ire. When a man’s angry, be recognizes no one, not even his mother.”

 Adide’s face flushed at the memory of Lance’s parting words before he left for pack business–Had I not pack matters to handle, you wouldn’t be getting out of bed today.”

 She quickly averted her gaze. “Yes I understand.”

 Prisci sighed at Adide’s evasiveness and instructed Susan, “Ensure Adide is served her favorite dishes.” 

 Susanplied and left.

 Prisci Inquired aboutst night’s Bloodmoon Pack incident, and Adide recounted everything

 Prisci was taken aback. “Just like that, Rowena agreed to let her join the pack? This is clearly a scheme. and not against her own son.” 

 Though Prisci hadn’t grasped everythingst night in her excitement, she had caught wind of the situation this morning from others‘ chatter.

 “The Glenveil Pack, with its century–old reputation, cannot afford any tarnish, Adide remarked.

 Prisci retorted, “For the sake of reputation, must one yield? If it were me, I’d let tongues wag and never allow such a cunning young wolf into the pack. How could someone so scheming be permitted within our ranks?”

 Prisci dreaded cunning individuals. Knowing she couldn’tpete, she simply wished to keep them at bay.

 Adide smiled and said, “No matter how cunning she is, once in Glenveil Pack, she must abandon her schemes or perish.”

 Prisci reflected on Glenveil Pack’s strict hierarchy and numerous rules. Even as Luna, life was challenging, as a breeder, it would be even harder.

 Losing interest in the matter, she shifted the conversation to the Wall family’s preparations mating ceremony.

 for Zelda’s

 Adide assured her, “You need not worry. Zelda’s personal assets are being inventoried and prepared. Lycan rissa will not shortchange Zelda. Her manor is under renovation. After the ceremony at Wall family, Zelda and Alger will reside there.”

 Prisci added, “I’ve set aside some personal assets for her. You may contribute as well. Lance has saved quite a sum over the years.”

 Adide smiled. “Rest assured, it will be more than sufficient.”

 Prisci, propping her arm, looked at Adide and said, “You are reliable in handling affairs. It puts me at ease. I find that I truly like you.”

 Adide was taken aback. How should one respond to such a directrexpression of affection from her mother–inw?

 A few dayster, after the Royal Elder Council meeting, Lycan Erasmus detained Lance.

 With a pile of documents pending, he had Fabian set up the chessboard, mentioning he hadn’t yed chess with Lance in ages.

 Lance sat down readily. “Days of document–reading have left me dizzy. I’m grateful for this respite, thanks to you.”

 Lycan Erasmus frowned at his manner. “Why cling to your wolf warrior habits? Aren’t they too crude? As Minister of Justice and a senior official, you must mind your image. 

 “Between brothers, what image is there to mind?” Lanceughed heartily.

 “Do you behave as casually in front of Adide?”

 15 Free Cons

 Lycan Erasmus, with his slender fingers holding a white king chess piece, ced it slowly on the board

 Lance, holding a ck queen piece, replied enigmatically. “With one’s own Luna, one can be even more at

 case.”

 Lycan Erasmus smiled and said. “I heard at Prisci’s birthday banquet, someone attempted to be your breeder.”
