Chapter 49
Third Person’s POV
Dragon Ash’s soldiers had seized many civilian homes. When the Western Tribes army arrived, lacking accommodation, they’d driven residents from their houses.
Alpha Lance now decreed that all civilians could return home.
Werewolf warriors without shelter were to camp on open ground.
After this battle, Adelaide’s fame soared.
Adelaide had distinguished herself in previous battles, but her latest feat–holding the supply depot with three thousand men and ensuring everyone ate meat–eclipsed her prior achievements in the soldiers‘ eyes.

Alpha Lance said, “Adelaide, bathe and change. I’m taking you somewhere.”
His pupils glinted amber in the firelight as he fondled his gilt–hilted blade.
Adelaide met his gaze, her wolf–claw nails slightly elongated in the fire’s glow. “Where?”
Cynthia, imprisoned for shattering a vase in a business dispute, left her competitor a fool but not dead.

Tracing the gun’s etchings, sorrow welled up.
She sensed where Lance was taking her–likely to Frostbite Town, where her father and brothers likely fell
She’d known they’d died on the southern border

Tall and fair–skinned with a neat topknot, his bright eyes and chiseled features bore a resemblance to Lycan Erasmus–though Erasmus carried authority, this man exuded an undeniable magnetism.
Adelaide almost didn’t recognize him as Alpha Lance.
His usual rugged beard was gone, revealing smoother skin and those piercing eyes.
No wonder he was hailed as the kingdom’s most handsome werewolf.
