“Not really sleepy, just wanted to make sure everyone’s rescued,” Paisley said.
She rubbed her eyes, her pheromones carrying a drowsyziness, yet still tinged with stubborn persistence, and said, “Even if I’m tired, I have to wait for him toe back.”
Her wolf ears lightly flicked.
Adide handed her a cup of coffee, her fir pheromones wrapped in the peculiar concern of a mate.
Through their mating bond, she sensed Lance’s general whereabouts.
She said softly, “The n went smoothly. Everyone should be rescued. But I don’t know how many there are, whether Ramona’s mother survived, or what secrets are hidden in the west courtyard’s basement.”
As she spoke, her fir pheromones rippled–a signal from their mating bond that Lance was nearing.
Paisley took the coffee. “Wish I could check myself.”

Caldwell spoke up, “Some sights are better left unseen.”
His wolf ws faintly curled. <fnb72e> Original content can be found at F?ndNovel</fnb72e>
Whether seen or not, the horrors were real.
Adide’s fir pheromones tightened. Through their bond, she sensed Lance’s cedar pheromones crossing the pack boundary.
“He’s back!” Adide stood abruptly, her eyes bright.
She hurried toward the study door.
She didn’t need to listen- their bond already told her.
Chapter 556.
Sure enough, Lance stood at the door, d in ck, his cedar pheromones carrying a hint of blood, yet softening at the touch of Adide’s fir scent.

His wolf ws, still extended, gleamed faintly as he reached to push the door
open.
Seeing the door ajar, he grasped Adide’s hand. The bond between them red with heat.
In a gentle voice reserved only for his mate, he said, “Let’s talk inside.”
Everyone sensed the gravity on Lance’s face, guessing he’d uncovered something crucial at Madison’s mansion.
After sitting down, Adide handed him coffee and said, “Drink this. I’ll have someone bring you some hot food.”
Lance, who hadn’t eaten or drunk in the basement dungeon, drained the cup in one gulp.
His voice rasped with thirst.
Once the omega left to arrange the food, Lance said, “Adide, Cassius’s family is safe. They weren’t tortured or beaten, just locked up and frightened.”
“Really? Cassius was kidnapped?” Adide’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Yes. Fortunately, he was there tofort them. Otherwise, his mate and children would have been terrified,” Lance added, refilling his cup before continuing, “The basement dungeon held mostly Hunt’s breeders, now rescued. Many are injured or disabled–Madison’s cruelty knows no bounds.”
“Also, the west courtyard’s basement contained weapons, armor, and gunpowder. I think they nned to infiltrate the capital with rebels, using Madison’s mansion as a supply point for an inside–job attack.”
“So it is!” Adide had long suspected the west courtyard, but Madison’s brazenness shocked her.
Who would think to hide weapons in Madison’s mansion? Adide remarked, “So reckless, yet it’s the safest spot–no one would search Madison’s estate.”
Caldwell exined, “Who’d dare search Madison’s mansion without
grave reason?

Its secrecy is its security. Even if searched, the basement’s hard to find. We only located it with prior knowledge of its existence and entrance.”
Lance nodded in agreement, “That’s right. Without extremelypelling reasons, no one would dare to search Madison’s mansion without authorization. That’s why they chose to hide the weapons here–it’s the safest ce for them.”
Paisley, though aware of Madison and Germain’s collusion, still asked, “What does she really want? As a princess, shecks for nothing. Helping Germain would only make her a mere duchess–no real advancement.”
Craig added, “Only she knows her true motives.”
No one understood Madison’s actions.
As a royal princess, she enjoyed high status andfort.
Yet she risked everything for this plot.
Her ambitions perplexed them.
