Chapter 313
Third Person’s POV
Princess Margot said, “She was once highly praised after a victorious return, but now she’s fallen just as far. Those with ill intentions always get their comeuppance. I hear folks dump trash at the Bloodmoon Pack’s entrance daily.”
“Isn’t Ulrik under investigation by the Royal Inspection Bureau?” Princess Yvette asked.
“Yes, and Lycan Erasmus even had him apologize with Velda, but it failed. The matter’s at an impasse now. The Bloodmoon and Stormridge Packs are sworn enemies,” Margot added.
Adelaide stayed silent, merely listening. No need to voice an opinion.
She felt bad for Vanya, who shared quarters with them. “Their daily life must be awful,” she thought. “The omega servants probably despise Velda too, having to clean up trash constantly–it’s disgusting The public was fickle. They could lift you up, praising endlessly, or drag you down, trampling you daily.
Back at the Blackthorn Pack, Adelaide asked Avery about the guards. Avery first asked, “What’s the pay?”
Adelaide knew this wouldn’t be easy. Only with a generous offer might Irene agree.
“Just a few months. Two people would get a total of one hundred thousand dollars. How’s that sound?”
Avery grabbed his hair. “Not great, but I’ll write the letter right away–does the pack have messengers? Get this to Irene ASAP.”
Adelaide smiled. “Write it now.”
One hundred thousand was a large sum.
Irene wouldn’t let students work ordinary jobs–female wolves guarding nobles earn up to a thousand a month, with attitude.
But protecting Melinda meant no attitude, just safety and medication monitoring. A few months for one hundred thousand–no way Irene would refuse.
The next day, Dwight arrived with two wolf guards at the Blackthorn Pack’s border, demanding to see Adelaide.
He chose a time when Lance was out, thinking a mated female would be easy to bully,
But upon learning his identity, the Blackthorn guards reported to Caldwell immediately.
Caldwell stood at the entrance, his demeanor refined yet his tone icy, “Leave now or face a beating.
The wolf warriors behind him/raised their weapons. Before Dwight could even see Adelaide, he slunk away in humiliation.
After hearing Caldwell’s report, Paisley said regretfully, “I wanted to slap him. No chance now.

Chapter 313
Dwight never returned, but Adelaide worried he’d take it out on Melinda.
A week later, two of Avery’s peers arrived on motorcycles.
“On motorcycles?” Avery said in surprise.
“Rented,” the girls replied. Dressed in matching denim jackets and khaki cargo pants, they looked around twenty, with slightly rough skin from hard work and a no–nonsense style.
Avery introduced them to Adelaide, who recognized them at once. “Hi, Paige and Georgina”
Paisley greeted them too.
These two were adopted by Irene.
Paige, found in a laundry basket as a child and nicknamed “Little Basket,” later became “Paige.” Her original name was Paige Fitzgerald.
Georgina, discovered with just an old pocket watch, kept the name Georgina Erlan.
“Hello, Adelaide and Paisley,” the girls said calmly, showing no nerves despite being in a royal wolf pack.
Paige immediately asked, “Has the ‘troublemaker‘ caused any issues? Let us know, and I’ll sort him out.”
