Chapter 236
Third Person’s POV
Digby acknowledged that Sidney doted on Adelaide.
Yet, struggling to protect herself within the Blue Abyss Pack, how could she safeguard Adelaide?
Alpha Zander’s family guarded the frontier. Regulations barred them from casually returning to the capital.
Even if Alpha Zander wished to shield his granddaughter, he was powerless.
His sons had also suffered severe casualties: his eldest died early, the third lost his left arm, and the seventh fell in battle. The family had endured immense suffering.
Digby knew Alpha Zander had pleaded with Lycan Erasmus to watch over Adelaide.
Lycan Erasmus indeed favored Adelaide now, but…
Digby sighed heavily. Many worries weighed on his mind. He hoped all fears were unfounded and that Adelaide and Alpha Lance could live a peaceful life.
The next day, heavy snow blanketed the capital.
Adelaide had anticipated the snowfall, hoping to play in it with Cedric.
But with the mating ceremony only nine days away, she expected Irene and classmates to arrive soon.
Though the journey wasn’t far, the snow impeded/travel, forcing them to stay in hotels along the way.
Adelaide was a mix of excitement and anxiety, fearing emotional outbursts upon seeing Irene and classmates.
The long separation had made her miss them terribly.
In the past, she felt her future was pitch–black, as if blocked by an invisible wall.
Meeting Alpha Lance had brought light to that darkness.
Knowing he once had feelings for someone else, she believed they could achieve mutual respect.
This life was far better than her time/in the Bloodmoon Pack.
The snow fell for two days, not continuously but intermittently, blanketing the Frostfang Pack’s courtyard.
The wolves cleared paths, making movement manageable.
The plum blossoms flourished under the snow, their branches bent with accumulated white. Adelaide kicked a tree trunk, sending snow and petals cascading down in a red–and–white shower.
She and Cedric built a snowman. He enthusiastically searched for two pebbles for eyes, creating a comically ugly yet adorable figure.

Chapter 236
Adelaide draped a red cloak over the snowman and placed a velvet hat on it. From afar, it almost seemed lifelike.
Nearby, Craig had set up his casel, capturing this precious moment.
This vibrant Adelaide, once full of energy during Shadow Peaks training, should be documented and sent back to the Warscar Training Camp for her teachers to sec.
As the mating ceremony drew near, Adelaide grew busy.
The custom–made wedding gown arrived at the Frostfang Pack—a masterpiece of months of work. The outer robe, though appearing heavy, was surprisingly light and smooth. Embroidered with golden Moon Goddess totems and star tracks, it represented the high–Luna status.
The matching shawl, woven in azure and gold, featured flowing clouds and wolf crests.
The headpiece, studded with over ten blue and red moonstones, had delicate cyan bone–like extensions at the back, slightly upturned like wolf ears.
Considering the winter ceremony, a special cloak accompanied the gown. Lined with rare beast fur, it was embroidered with blooming Moon Goddess flowers before being sewn together, symbolizing clan prosperity.
Following werewolf tradition, the only occasion transcending norms, the cloak’s edges also bore simplified silver wolf patterns.
When Adelaide donned the gown, the omegas present were momentarily stunned.
Jasmine first recovered, helping her sit at the vanity for makeup..
However, the heavy powder made her appear older.
“Alright, alright,” Jessica brushed Jasmine’s hand’s aside. “Who’s ever seen a bride look like that? Pale as a frost wolf.”
Jasmine smiled awkwardly. “Alpha Adelaide never wears makeup; she always does her own. How could I compare?”
Jessica dampened a cotton pad with water and gently removed the makeup.
Adelaide had booked the capital’s top makeup artist from a renowned studio for the ceremony day.
Ivy stroked the gown’s embroidery. “This dress is costly for a reason. I could never replicate such work in a lifetime.”
Adelaide gazed at her reflection in the copper mirror, a sense of unreality washing over her.
