Third Person’s POV
Adelaide glanced around the room, her lips curving into a faint smile as she retracted her claws.

She exuded calming pheromones and said, “Seems like you have ‘double standards. Why’s it okay for you to spread rumors but not for me to speak the truth?”
“I heard Madison invited Shaman Digby too. Should we have him here for a face–to–face?”
Turning to Rosemary, she added meaningfully, “If you feel wronged, you can ask Digby yourself.”
Rosemary glared at Adelaide, her old wound throbbing with rage.
The she–wolf, once meek by her bedside, now radiated an Alpha’s pressure, leaving Rosemary too intimidated to retort.
She bit her nails into her palm, mint pheromones crystallizing at her fingertips.
Should Digby truly arrive, she’d likely lose access to his clinic’s medicine forever.
Wanda, cornered, snarled, “You’re just a she–wolf kicked out of your pack. What’s there to be proud of?”
Adelaide’s pupils slit, her wolf growling inwardly.
An overwhelming aura surged, her aggressive pheromones trembling the guests.
Many shuddered.
Her voice, edged with a wolf’s growl, carried clearly, “I wasn’t kicked out. I ended my bond with Ulrik on my own terms.”
Her claw grazed her wolf–head dagger, reflecting Wanda’s sudden pallor. “I don’t care what you say behind my back, but in my presence, watch your tongue.”
“Though the Davidson family stands alone now, it’s not to be trifled with.”
The hall fell silent.
Many Lunas, attending Madison’s bash only out of obligation, felt a quiet triumph.
They’d attended too many such banquets to not recognize Madison’s habit of forming cliques and suppressing others, all while avoiding direct confrontation.
Madison typically used her daughter Wanda and other followers as front–line troops, often leaving opponents speechless.
But they’d picked the wrong target this time. Adelaide, the seemingly friendless female Alpha, was a true
Gamma.

“Adelaide, you’re amazing,” Melinda said, hurrying to Adelaide’s side, her eyes alight with admiration.
Madison finally spoke, her eyes cold. “Luna Skye, how are you lately?”
Luna Skye, already nervous over her daughter’s praise of Adelaide, trembled at Madison’s address.
She forced a smile. “Thank you for your concern. I’ve been managing well.”
After her quick reply, she urgently signaled her daughter. “Melinda, sit with me now!”
Ignoring her mother, Melinda stayed with Adelaide, laughing, “Mom, I want to chat with Adelaide more.”
Luna Skye’s face turned ashen, her wolf ears flattened with anxiety. “Come here first! We’ll talk later!”
Adelaide patted Melinda’s hand gently. “Go back to your mother. I still need to give Madison her gift.”
She took a scroll from Beata, whose face was flushed with anger, and walked toward the guest of honor’s
seat.
Her dress swayed gracefully with each step, her posture elegant and devoid of battlefield sternness.
Paired with her stunning looks and the ribbon in her hair, the crowd murmured in awe–she truly inherited her mother’s beauty, even surpassing Airella with an ethereal charm.
Madison, watching Adelaide approach, seethed with hatred.
