Third Person’s POV
Over at Madison's place, Adelaide wasn’t worried. Lance and Caldwell were on the case.
She was more concerned about Melinda.
Georgina had visited, mentioning that Melinda had broached the topic of dissolving her mating bond with Luna
Skye, only to be firmly rejected.
Since then, Melinda had been dispirited.
Even though she’d been disappointed in Dwight and the Soulrend Pack before, she'd never been this desperate.
Adelaide feared Melinda might do something rash, so she asked Georgina and Paige to keep a close eye on
her.
As Georgina left, she said, “Luna Skye might pay you a visit. The other night, | overheard Melinda suggesting
dissolving the mating bond, and Luna Skye thought you put her up to it.”
Adelaide wasn't afraid of Luna Skye.
She was extremely disappointed in her and had little to say, but if Skye wanted to come, so be it.
Sure enough, as the scandal involving Dwight’s accusations against government officials raged on in the capital,
Luna Skye arrived.
Priscilla had intended to go out andgive her a piece of her mind but was persuaded by Paisley, “You already
scolded her the other night. Today, hear her out. If she’s here for Melinda's sake, forgive her. If she’s here to
cause trouble for Adelaide, you can step in then.”
Priscilla was persuaded but still muttered indignantly, “Never seen such a mother. She’s utterly unfit for the
role.”
In the packhouse, the aroma of coffee filled the room.
Beata served scookies. Outside, it was raining, and her shoes were soaked, leaving clear footprints on the
marble floor.
Adelaide didn’t speak first. She sat in her chair, slowly sipping her coffee. The two cousins were separated by a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttall coffee table.
The cookies were on the table. Beata left with the tray and stood guard outside the door.
Adelaide picked up a cookie and ate it slowly, chewing quietly.
Luna Skye also took a piece with a fork, eating daintily, biting small pieces, and using a small porcelain dish to
catch any crumbs, lest they soil her purple dress.
The purple made her complexion appear even more dull. Her eyes lacked luster, with dark circles beneath them,
indicating several sleepless nights.

Perhaps, after waiting in vain for Adelaide to speak, she finally put down her porcelain dish and fork wiped the
corners of her mouth with a napkin, and said, “Adelaide, have we becso estranged.
Adelaide's voice was flat. “I thought the distance was on your end.”
Luna Skye let out a soft sigh. “Still about the gifts for Melinda? | apologize. Let's put this behind us, shall we?
We're family. Your mother would be heartbroken to see us like this.”
“If my mother were heartbroken, it wouldn't be because of me,” Adelaide said, lifting her head.
“Besides, | didn’t take offense to you returning the gifts for Melinda. So, state your business. No need to mention
my mother.”
Luna Skye’s expression was complicated. “You claim you didn’t take offense, but do you know that because of
you, the Silverlight Pack was restricted from traveling by Lycan Erasmus for a month? We couldn't even enter the
palace for Christmast Eve that year.”
Adelaide found this amusing. “So, should | blmyself for that?”
“No, | don’t mean that,” she paused, though she actually felt otherwise.
The Silverlight Pack had always been low-key in the capital, avoiding trouble. Being restricted by Lycan Erasmus
was unprecedented.
“Let’s get to the point about Melinda,” Adelaide said, growing impatient.
Luna Skye turned fully toward Adelaide.
“Adelaide, Melinda is not like you.
She's timid and fragile, with little
tolerance for gp heat

dissolved mating bond. And with that
nightclub call girl forcing her to break
the bond, people would mock her
mercilessly. She's too weak to bear
it.”
Her tone softened further. “So, | beg
you, don't encourage her to dissolve
the bond. eR abd m

three to five years, her mate will

Adelaide's eyes turned cold. “You think | encouraged her to dissolve the bond?”
“If not for you, why would she suggest such a preposterous idea? How long have they been mated? Why would
she seek trouble now?”
Adelaide's gaze was filled with
sarcasm. “You're mistaken. | never
urged her to dissolve 1b bond bid it
Feber th you that her fragile
nature and pregnancy might stem
from feeling extremely wronged?”
Luna Skye said, “What woman doesn’t feel wronged?”
Adelaide said, “She’s Melinda. Her parents are part of the royalty. She has support and doesn’t need to endure so
much.”
Luna Skye’s voice sharpened. “Did you tell her that too? Did you make her believe the Silverlight Pack would
back her, encouraging her to recklessly demand a bond dissolution?”
