Chapter 852
Third Person’s POV
She caught her breath, her eyes sharp.
“I cornered one of the omegas, threw out a few threats, and she spilled the whole truth. A lot of those stories were completely made up. Wanda never abused them. They were the omega serving the breeder: they barely had any interaction with Wanda on a normal day.”
Adelaide’s wolf let out a vigilant howl. Sure enough, this was all tied to Eleanor.
Eleanor was the absolute last person she wanted to be the mastermind.
Over the years, Eleanor had poured her heart into the Glenveils without ever getting the recognition she deserved.
She helped manage pack affairs and even acted as Winslow’s plus-one to represent the pack at major events like the Inter-Pack Gala.
But at the end of the day, she didn’t have the title of Luna. Adelaide understood the survival rules of high-society werewolves all too well-none of the Lunas from the capital’s elite packs probably gave Eleanor the time of day.
Add to that the constant harassment and humiliation from Wanda within her own pack… Adelaide sighed inwardly, unable to stop herself from feeling a wave of sympathy for Eleanor.
Paisley twitched her wolf ears in frustration, her pheromones spiking with anxiety.
“What do we do? Is it really her? But she’s dead-are Alpha Winslow actually going to believe it? Plus, we have zero direct evidence. One omega’s confession isn’t nearly enough. When push comes to shove, that omega could easily claim I forced her to talk using my aura.”
Adelaide thought it over for a second, her wolf eyes flashing with a calm, calculating light in the dim room.
“Then have Ralph contact Edgar privately. This time, we’ll interrogate him ourselves.”
“It’s our only play,” Paisley said, crossing her arms, her pupils narrowing.
“Since Edgar is the one executing all of this, he wouldn’t just target Wanda out of nowhere. He has to be taping orders from someone. Edgar is a nobody in that pack; there’s no way he’d have the guts to start an internal pack war on his own.”
Adelaide decided to call Ralph in first to get a complete read on Edgar’s background.
Only by knowing everything about this wolf could they keep the upper hand during the interrogation.
The round-faced Ralph froze on the spot when he heard Edgar might have orchestrated the whole PR nightmare.
A second later, his chest started heaving, his neck flushing red with anger as he spoke in a raspy voice.
“So… he fed me that intel on purpose, just so I would pass it on to you. Is that right, Luna Adelaide?”
Paisley let out a cold snort.
“Highly likely. He wanted to muddy the waters and make us fully believe Wanda was a total piece of trash, Honestly, that she wolf

is vicious, but when it comes to this specific mess, she might actually be completely innocent.”

“Exactly. His words madeus incredibly biased against Wanda,” Adelaide said, softly soothing the furious Ralph. She released a trace of her gentle aura to calm his agitated wolf.
“Edgar isn’t an evil person. Don’t worry, we’ll get to the bottom of this.”
Ralph paled slightly, his wolf ears dropping as he gave a self-deprecating laugh.
“If he really used me, I don’t blame him. After all, I was the one who reached out to dig up his pack’s dirty laundry; I was in the wrong first. I just never expected him to play me like that.”
Paisley pressed him.
“So what do you actually know about Edgar?”
“He’s an incredibly loyal wolf,” Ralph answered.
“When Eleanor was running the pack’s affairs, she relied on him heavily, which earned him a lot of status and respect inside the pack, You could say his loyalty to Eleanor far outweighs his loyalty to the Glenveils itself. If Eleanor gave the order, he’d do it-even if it meant betraying Alpha Winslow.”
After hearing that, Adelaide and Paisley basically had the whole picture. They were almost certain Eleanor was the sole puppet master behind this entire scheme.
Ralph left with a heavy expression to set up a meeting with Edgar at the Stag Hunter Pub.
Meanwhile, Adelaide and Paisley headed over to the Digby Medical Center.
They needed to verify one crucial detail with the top expert: if a perfectly healthy pregnant she-wolf unknowingly ingested a very small dose of monkshood powder, would she really miscarry that easily?
