“Are you going to see Sidney? How about waiting for me? I can go with you once I’m free,” Lance said. “No need. The three of us will go. You’re busy with the holiday’s defense patrols,” Adelaide replied.

Though nominally the deputy commander, Adelaide knew the patrols were Lance’s top priority and prone to issues.

Lance had wanted to accompany them but needed to stay and command. Plus, with heavy snow and Sidney’s frail health, the visit couldn’t wait.

“Be careful on the road,” Lance said after a moment. “I’ll join you once I’m done.”

Lance hoped to meet Sidney, as he was now Adelaide’s mate.

Adelaide noticed the longing in his eyes and quickly looked away, not wanting Paisley and Avery to tease her. “You go ahead with your duties,” she said.

Lance felt a twinge of disappointment–Adelaide seemed to keep her distance, always averting her gaze when their eyes met.

Yet he couldn’t help but seek her out.

“Alpha Lance, the carriage is ready,” Ralph announced.

“Right,” Lance stepped forward and took Adelaide’s hand. “Drive carefully and bundle up. It’s snowing today.”

“Got it,” Adelaide smiled and pulled her hand back. “We’re taking the car. You focus on your work.”

Lance felt a pang of wistfulness as his hand was withdrawn.

Paisley noticed but stayed silent.

Adelaide went to bid Priscilla farewell, informing her of the visit to the Greenwood Convalescent Center to see Sidney, possibly staying for two or three days, but promising to return for Christmas Eve’s.

Priscilla, after a moment of surprise, said, “Go quickly and come back soon.”

Zelda, present, asked curiously, “Why is she at the Greenwood Convalescent Center? Isn’t she from the Blue Abyss Pack?”

Adelaide explained, “She’s unwell and moved there for quiet recovery. Also, the large altar there facilitates prayers to the Moon Goddess.”

Zelda was puzzled: “If she’s sick, shouldn’t she stay in the Blue Abyss Pack? At least family could keep track of her there.”

Even Zelda understood this logic. How could Germain not?

Adelaide was deeply worried. Germain’s territory in the Blue Ridge State wasn’t far from the Greenwood Center or the capital.

If Sidney was sent to recover, wouldn’t the capital be a better choice?

There were villas there, along with royal werewolf doctors and Doctor Digby.

Now, at Greenwood, though Doctor Digby had sent staff to care for her, being without family seemed too lonely.

“I’ll go see her and return soon. Could you watch Cedric for me these next few days?” Adelaide asked.

“Of course,” Priscilla agreed readily, happy to help Adelaide.

This surprised Zelda.

Priscilla had previously been at odds with Luna Adelaide.

When Adelaide turned to leave, Zelda quietly asked, “Aren’t you two on bad terms? How come you’re so close now?”

Priscilla sighed, “Adelaide’s a pitiable soul. She only has Cedric in her family. I can’t be hard on her. I should treat her like my own daughter.”

Zelda found it odd. “You didn’t say this back in the palace. I tried to persuade you, but you didn’t listen.”

“I did listen. It’s because I listened that I treated her well,” Priscilla replied.

Zelda, sensing Priscilla’s unease, dropped the subject, deciding it was enough that Adelaide was being treated well.

After leaving the Blackthorn Pack, Adelaide headed straight for Greenwood.

This time, she traveled with only Avery as the driver and Prunella as company, without even Beata.

Prunella relayed information gathered by the Cloudwing Pack, “Sidney’s move to Greenwood wasn’t her choice. It was arranged by a breeder named Maya Dewdney from the Blue Abyss Pack. Sidney’s two daughters are indifferent to her, treating Maya as their own mother. Such heartless people deserve our scorn. If Sidney loses faith in them this time, I’ll make sure to teach them a lesson.”
