Chapter 125
Third Person’s POV
Watching Tommy drive away, Caldwell sighed.
Alt hough Alpha Lance adhered to tradition, he’d still bond with Miss Davidson despite Priscilla’s opposition, even without Lycan Erasmus’s backing.
Over at the Frostfang Pack, Adelaide received word that Alpha Lance would visit.
If it were military business, he’d summon her directly. So why the personal visit?
Clearly, it wasn’t about military affairs.
She suspected it was about his offer of a royal position.

She instructed Valentin to prepare for the visit but planned to consult Shaman Digby about Sidney’s health.
Sidney was the one who presided over the bonding ceremony between Ulrik and her.
But after she dissolved the mate bond, Sidney never inquired about it, so she assumed Sidney was
unaware.
Sidney’s illness was likely known to Doctor Digby.
Adelaide worried that Sidney’s illness might have worsened, especially since Digby probably informed Sidney’s Omega, who didn’t relay the information to her.
She sent Beata instead of going herself, as her current role as a meritorious hero left her constantly swarmed and unable to move freely.
The whole situation had become a subject of gossip, especially with the added drama from the Bloodmoon Pack
Beata returned hours later with medicines and skincare items from Digby.
“He said your previous medicine must be gone. Injuries need proper care. These pills and herbs are for a month to prevent future pain,” Beata explained.
Adelaide glanced at the items and spotted various herbs… along with topical whitening and skincare products.
“This must have cost a fortune,” Adelaide said with a smile, shaking her head. “Doctor Digby is more than happy to give me the best medicine. Beata, send some of these herb to Elder Halsey.”
“When we arrived, Beta Valentin took some and had them delivered,” Beata said with a grin.
Adelaide nodded slightly. Valentin was so thorough in his work that she didn’t need to worry about a thing.

Chapter 125
That night, after brushing her teeth and drinking milk, Adelaide lay in bed.
For the first two days after returning from the battlefield, she slept like the dead.

But as her exhaustion faded, sleep evaded her. Even when she dozed off, nightmares plagued her.
Her father, brothers, and other family members–once vibrant and full of life–now stood before her in dreams, drenched in blood. After such nightmares, she would wake and lie awake for the rest of the night.
Adelaide also recalled that when the Frostfang Pack was massacred, she had to rely on sleeping pills to sleep after returning to the Bloodmoon Pack to handle the aftermath.
Digby had been mindful of her struggles.
Bitterness and sourness filled her mouth, mirroring the emotions that welled up inside her unexpectedly.
But she’d learned to mask them, to keep her face devoid of any hint of these feelings.
Those around her were perceptive. Even the slightest sign of sadness or a momentary lapse in focus drew immediate concern and pity from them.
The next morning, Lance arrived with Tommy.
Adelaide had just finished breakfast, thinking he would come in the afternoon at the earliest, and had prepared drinks.
She hurried out with Beata to greet him, only to find Lance already seated in the Packhouse conference hall.
Having seen his battle–hardened peers in casual attire so often, Adelaide was momentarily stunned by Lance’s formal appearance.
Dressed in a dignified blue suit with cloud patterns and black shoes, he exuded an air of refined authority and composure.
His noble demeanor accentuated his sharp features, making him look handsome and charismatic.
Adelaide felt underdressed in her thin smoke–colored top and pleated skirt.
Lance rarely saw her like this.
Previously in the Shadow Peaks, she was always in red, ponytailed with a red ribbon, vibrant and eye- catching.
