    Paisley snapped back sharply, “Then what’s the point of even having this school? The powerful packs and the noble families already hire private tutors. Only a handful will ever get to learn beyond the usual basics.”


    Adide responded patiently, “Only the wealthiest and most influential noble families can truly afford private tutors. We have to proceed carefully. It’s too early to go all out; we need to take it one step at a time.”


    What Adide left unsaid was the real issue—especially with more men present in the room—most Alphas were reluctant to see she-wolves bing too educated. They viewed it as a direct challenge to their authority.


    At the Blood Moon Pack, after a particrly explosive outburst, Gloria had somewhat calmed down as her pregnancy advanced. Yet, Rosemary’s health took a sharp downturn as winter set in. Despite increasing doses of medication, she remained weak and fragile, her condition barely improving.


    They still hadn’t managed to convince Doctor Digby toe.


    On days when Rosemary felt especially miserable, she would grumble about Gloria’sck of connectionsining that Adide had the influence to get things done, something Gloria clearlycked.


    Gloria, on the other hand, showed no sympathy whatsoever. She stopped visiting altogether, neglecting any care or concern for Rosemary. Tamara was left as the sole caretaker.


    One day, Rosemary confided in Ulrik, “You’re now Lycan Erasmus’s Personal Wolf-Guard Captain. How can you not keep your own mate in check? She disrespects her elders, ignores advice, and constantly argues with me. Mating with someone who can’t manage a pack and shows no respect for family isn’t good for anyone here.”


    Ulrik, focused on climbing the ranks of his career, was desperate to avoid any conflict with Gloria. Every disagreement left him emotionally drained and exhausted.


    All he could do wasfort his mother and plead with Tamara to continue looking after her.


    Tamara felt trapped and overwhelmed. “Alpha Ulrik, it’s my duty to care for her, and I will, whether you ask me or not. But I’m not well myself, and the pack’s finances are in shambles right now.”


    “Your mate ignores pack matters, yet the spending hasn’t decreased one bit. We can’t even afford your mother’s specialized medicine for next month. Can’t you reach out to Sabrina? She’s with the Glenveil Pack now; surely she has some funds to spare?”


    Ulrik replied firmly, “I’ll find the money. It’s not Sabrina’s responsibility.”


    Tamara sighed deeply, feeling helpless. “If you really can’t find the money, maybe we need to let some household staff go. Their sries and food expenses are a huge drain on our resources.”


    Ulrik shrugged. “I’ll leave that discussion to you and Rosemary.”


    “If I could talk to her, I wouldn’t being to you. She refuses to fire anyone. Especially now that you’ve been promoted, she insists the house must maintain appearances.”


    Tamara hesitated, then added, “We also can’t reduce Velda’s fixed allowance. If we do, she throws a fit—and she’s far fiercer than Gloria when angry. We have no choice but to find other ways to cut costs, Alpha Ulrik. Honestly, I have nothing left to pawn.”


    She felt utterly defeated. No one in this pack was easy to deal with, and she couldn’t afford to offend anyone.


    Ulrik waved his hand dismissively, frowning. “Don’t even mention her. Just leave her alone as long as she stays out of trouble.”


    “It’s easy for her to livefortably while I’m the one stuck doing all the hard work,” Tamara couldn’t hold back her frustration any longer.


    If it weren’t for Velda, Adide would still be here, managing everything effortlessly. Adide could carry any burden no matter how heavy. Why did Tamara have to struggle so much?


    Ulrik tried to smooth things over. “You’ll just have to manage for now. Since Gloria is pregnant, pack management falls to you.”


    “But you need to give me money as well,” Tamara insisted, knowing she shouldn’t bring up Adide but feeling overwhelmed.


    She vented, “No offense, Alpha Ulrik, but when Adide was here, the pack was perfectly managed; we never ran out of money. Thest time your mother was sick, she had the best medicine, and Dr. Digby was avable around the clock. Now? I just don’t understand. How is Velda better than Adide in any way?”


    Adide’s clear, delicate image involuntarily shed in Ulrik’s mind. His heart pounded painfully.


    He shook his head violently, trying to banish the thought. “Stop living in the past. Tamara, I’m putting you in charge of the pack’s finances from now on. I’ll hand over my entire sry to you, and you can manage all the pack’s affairs.”


    With that, he quickly left the room.


    Ulrik knew exactly what he had lost, and he realized he could never get it back.


    But ever since taking his new position, every time he saw Adide in her sharp uniform, his eyes couldn’t help but follow her.


    He didn’t dare face the painful truth: he regretted losing her and only recognized her true value after she was gone. But now, it was far toote.Conclusion


    The chapter closes on a somber note, revealing the heavy burdens carried by those left to manage the pack amid escting challenges.

Tamara’s frustration and Ulrik’s quiet regret underscore the emotional toll of leadership and loss, painting a poignant picture of how much depends on unseen sacrifices and unacknowledged strength.

The chapter delicately explores themes of responsibility, sacrifice, and the painful recognition of value only after it has slipped away, leaving the characters to navigate a future shadowed by the weight of their past.What to Expect in Next Chapter?
