Adelaide adjusted her hat–she still wasn’t used to it.

“Madison’s completely down now. Germain and the others will surely want to probe what Madison’s confessed, if anything. Given her past associations with officials, I bet no one dares contact her now. I reckon your cousin Sadi might come to you,” Adelaide explained.
Paisley’s face fell, and she said firmly, “She won’t get a single word out of me! Don’t worry about me spilling the beans. She’s not clever enough to charm me.”
After a pause, she turned to Adelaide and realized, “You want me to pretend to be on good terms with her and wheedle information out of her?”
Adelaide shook her head, “No need. Just keep your usual attitude toward her. She’ll probably come with Maya.”
Maya’s cautious and attentive. If you show the slightest suspicion of Blue Abyss, she’ll sense it,” Adelaide said.
“So what? Since she mated Germain, I’ve never been nice to her. I’ll just keep doing the same,” Paisley said nonchalantly.
Adelaide agreed, “Right, don’t suddenly become warm–that’d be strange and might arouse their suspicion.”
“Got it. Aren’t you heading to the palace? You should go,” Paisley urged.
Adelaide glanced outside but didn’t move.
“Why not leave?” Paisley asked curiously.
Adelaide smiled sheepishly, “I’m just… excited and woke up too early. It’s still dark.”
“You’ll arrive at the palace as the sky lightens,” Paisley said.
“There’s no royal meeting today. Lycan Erasmus likely won’t go to the study this early,” Adelaide explained.
Paisley was puzzled, “Didn’t Fabian tell you the exact time?”
Adelaide replied embarrassedly, “He said seven in the morning.”

Paisley’s features scrunched up, “It’s only four now! Why wake up so carly? You could have slept in.”
Adelaide stood up and paced restlessly, “I’m just… nervous.”
Paisley laughed and took her hand, “You had me worried! Let’s go out and relax.”
“Sure.” Adelaide kicked her legs, her muscles tensing and relaxing instantly. She became excited, “I haven’t exercised in a long time. Let’s practice today! But let’s agree–it’s just casual, no serious fighting.”
Paisley released her hand and lightly put her foot on the bluestone, leaping half a meter high with the natural werewolf elasticity. Landing with pheromone waves, she said, “No weapons, no real fight. Unless you want to bite?”
The yard wind suddenly split as Adelaide punched straight, her knuckles partially shifting, silver wolf hair wrapping Alpha aura.
Paisley blocked with her elbow. The “thud” of elbow and fist colliding sent pheromones sparking–yet no hostility.
As they moved, Adelaide’s cedar pheromones grew hot.
The morning breeze swept away the heat. Her neck’s fading mark rippled in the wind.
At daybreak, Avery’s cypress pheromones arrived with suppressed pressure and a cheerful laugh, “Count me in!”
The yard erupted.
Avery sometimes tapped their shoulders with restrained pheromones, disrupting rhythm; sometimes fake–attacked, but reined in before his wolf claws touched Adelaide’s shoulder blade.
“You swinging claws at my face?”
Paisley roared, sulfur pheromones surging. As she shifted steps, her calf muscles tripled in size, kicking at him.
The silvered wolf hair on her foot glittered in the dawn light.
Avery’s cedar pheromones burst with laughter. Sidestepping Adelaide, his palm had shifted, silver claws glinting in the sun. “Adelaide, take my punch!”
The punch was thrown but deliberately slowed, claws tightly reined.

“Pffft!” Avery’s punch veered, landing solidly on Adelaide’s eye socket.
Adelaide’s pupils slit instinctively. Her werewolf defense was a beat late.

Clutching her eye and retreating, she growled hoarsely, “Are you insane? I’m heading to the palace today!”
Looking in the mirror, her eye socket was just turning pink.
“You’re in trouble now.” Paisley’s sulfur pheromones sharpened instantly. Her fist creaked with tension, wolf claws glinting coldly.
“Keep showing off! Keep boasting! We were just fooling around, not really fighting!”
Her punch was powerful. Avery “boom” hit the ground.
