<b>“</b>Who knows? Let’s head out. Once they settle in the capital, we’ll run into them often. Also, in a few days, see what rumors circte. They’ll likely exaggerate Lance’s importance, saying even Germain visits him first when returning to the capital. Wonder if Lycan Erasmus will be pleased, Paisley said.
“No wonder they came. After traveling all the way from their territory, they didn’t settle in first. Eager to visit the ckthorn Pack for this very reason,” Adide remarked.
“Right. Did you send for Ramona?” Adide asked.
“People are on the way. She should be here soon,” Paisley replied.
“Good. Let her make a brief appearance in front of Germain. Show there’s still a connection, and see how things develop,” Adide said.
Paisley followed her out. “Has Alpha Lance finished his investigation?”
Adide nodded. “He’s looked into it. Ramona is about seventy to eighty percent reliable. But it doesn’t matter. Such cooperator can’t be fully trusted. Neither side willpletely trust the other, each keeping their own bottom line.”
Paisley understood this well. As they exited, they saw Ramona and Dorothy approaching.
“Luna Adide, Paisley!” Ramona greeted with a bow.
Adide acknowledged with a nod. “You’re here?”
“Yes, Paisley invited me,” Ramona said.
Paisley said, “I asked her toe. Let’s go this way.”
Dorothy attempted to follow but was halted by Adide. “Has Ramona found a mate?” she asked.
“Not yet,” Ramona replied.
Adide frowned. “Alright. Just leave.”
“Yes, ma’am.” Dorothy stepped back and joined Paisley and Ramona.
A sly smile crossed Dorothy’s face. Clearly, Alpha Lance had mentioned Ramona. Otherwise, Adide wouldn’t have asked these questions.
Maya happened <i>to </i>be in the backyard and witnessed Ramona and Paisley chatting as they walked.
She smiled faintly and said to Ivy beside her, “I’m a bit tired. I’ll head back to rest.”
Ivy responded with a smile, “If you’re tired, go ahead and rest,”
The Germain family also took their leave. Paisley hadn’t exchanged a single word with her cousin, <b>Sadi</b>.

This irritated Sadi. She had known Paisley lived in the ckthorn Pack since arriving in the <b>capital </b><b>and </b>had hoped to build a good rtionship for casier ess.
Unexpectedly, Paisley avoided herpletely, showing no regard for etiquette.
Lance and Adide spent half their holiday entertaining the Germain family.
Prisci was also annoyed andined about how tiresome the Germain family was, feeling she <b>had </b><b>to </b>step in to host them.
“Such heartless men, I despise them. Germain is the brother of the old Lycan King, yet hecks the old Lycan King’s character. He tortured his partner to death–a real brute,” she said.
Susan tried to console her. “They came especially to visit you. It’s fitting for you to host, as Alpha Lance and Luna Adide are their juniors. Your presence is just right, and it’s also a help to Alpha Lance and Luna Adide.”
“I know, but it just makes me so mad.I really feel like pping Germain twice,” Prisci said with an ugly look on her face.“There are plenty of heartless men in this world, but not many are as cruel <b>as </b>he is.
Susan thought to herself, “You haven’t met that many men either.”
Lance took Adide back to the vi.
He said, “Let’s change clothes and go out. We’ll dine outside tonight.”
“Where to?” Adide asked.
Lance replied, “I nned to take you out today, but they dyed us. Only half a day left. We can’t go far. Let’s go to Yellowstone Mountain to see the maple leaves. I heard they’re excep?ionally red this year.”
With one thing after another, they’d barely had time to foster their rtionship.
Today, with no other ns, Lance wanted to spend some quality time alone with her.
Eugene had rmended a quiet and cool spot, ideal for a half–day autumn outing to enjoy the maple leaves–a far better option than staying in the pack.
Adide responded with an “Oh,” and asked, “But Paisley’s chatting with Ramona. Should we wait for her?”
Lance said, “Why wait? Just the two of us. No omega, no werewolf guards, not even Beata.”
“Oh, when are weing back? I was thinking since you’re on leave today, we could pick up Cedric together. He’ll be boarding next month. And if we don’t bring Paisley, she might be upset.”
Beata overheard their conversation. Initially delighted that Lance was free and taking his mate soon frustrated by Adide’s response.

Lance clearly wanted to be alone with her, aiming to build their rtionship and create cherished memories<b>. </b>
Adide seemed utterly devoid of romance.
Lance said, “Everything’s arranged. I’ll join you next leave to pick up Cedric. <b>As </b><b>for </b><b>Paisley</b><b>, </b><b>she’s </b><b>busy </b>

Eugene had mentioned that watching the sunset from the Yellowstone Mountain’s waist was breathtaking.
The mountaintop, bathed in golden light, felt expansive and free.
