Old Luna Priscilla had also heard what happened and made a special trip to visit Adelaide.
The moment she stepped inside, she pulled Adelaide away from Lance’s arms and wrapped her in her own embrace, awkwardly trying to comfort her.
“Velda finally got what she deserved. Oh, my dear child, don’t cry. I promise you, from now on, your life will be filled with happiness and joy.”
Seeing his mate taken away by his own mother, Lance frowned. But he didn’t dare argue with Priscilla.
Wouldn’t it have been better to let Adelaide have some peace and cry her heart out?
With so many people around, someone like her would only put on the dignified front expected of a Luna. She probably wouldn’t be able to let herself cry.
Lance was right. Adelaide really couldn’t cry anymore.
Seeing that her comfort had worked, Priscilla happily sat down, took Adelaide’s hand, and spoke gently.
“My child, from now on, think of me as your own mother. I’ll treat you like my daughter. Besides, ever since Zelda bonded with her mate, she barely comes home to see me. Now you’re the only girl I have by my side.”
Adelaide felt warmth spread through her heart and nodded gratefully.
“Thank you.”
Lance shook his head beside them, completely disagreeing with his mother’s words. It sounded as if Priscilla only needed Adelaide to fill the place Zelda had left behind.
But in Lance’s eyes, Adelaide was perfect. She was far better than Zelda in every way.
Priscilla suddenly remembered something else.
“By the way, the gifts Lisa brought you when she came to New York are still untouched. I know you don’t want to face your seventh uncle’s death. But those gifts carry his love for you. You should at least take a look at them.”

Those gifts had indeed been sitting untouched in the storage room all this time.
After dinner that evening, Adelaide went there alone.

Lance wanted to go with her, but she gently refused. She wanted to face those memories by herself.
Even Paisley peeked in and asked if she could accompany her, but Adelaide stopped her at the door.
Still, Lance couldn’t stop worrying. After Adelaide entered the storage room, he sat outside the door and waited, guarding her in silence.
Not long after, Tommy returned and reported to Lance.
He said that when Ulrik heard the news of Velda’s execution, he had slammed his head against the wall. Blood had spilled everywhere.
“I was standing right beside him. I watched him do it with my own eyes.”
Tommy still shuddered whenever he thought about it.
“I’ve never seen an Alpha hurt himself like that. I thought he was trying to kill himself by smashing his head into the wall.”
Unable to understand it, Tommy turned to Caldwell.
“What was he trying to prove? If he really wanted to die with Velda, he could have gone with her to the Western Tribe when she was taken away. But he hid in his pack like a coward and refused to come out. Now that Velda is dead, he’s hurting himself like this. What does he even hope to gain?”
Caldwell thought for a long time but couldn’t find an answer.
“How is he now? Did anyone call a healer?”
“I don’t know. When I left, his mate was screaming beside him, and the entire Bloodmoon Pack was in chaos.”
Tommy paused, still shaken.
“Oh, and his sister. Sabrina, I think her name was. She looked at me like I was her enemy, then suddenly shifted and attacked me. Her claws even tore up my neck.
As he spoke, Tommy turned his head and pulled down his collar, revealing several fresh red

scratches.
Caldwell patted his shoulder.
“Those who are from the Bloodmoon Pack are all unstable. We should stay away from them
from now on.”
“Luckily, I went there to deliver the news.” Tommy still looked shaken.
“If Ulrik had come to our pack and suddenly started hurting himself like that, his family would have thought our Blackthorn Pack was trying to kill him. We would have been blamed for something we had nothing to do with.”
“Yeah.” Caldwell nodded. “Go get some rest. Don’t dwell on this anymore.”
Tommy agreed, but a piece of gossip this big was impossible for him to keep to himself. He turned around and went to find Paisley to continue the conversation.
He still couldn’t understand it. If Ulrik truly did something like this for Velda, the king would surely punish him once he found out. There was nothing for him to gain.
Why would he put on such a display of devotion?
Caldwell came to the storage room door and told Lance everything.
