Third Person’s POV

His dark eyes hid a forthright mirth, and his closeness sent warmth surging through her.

Her checks and ears flushed scarlet. Noticing an Omega snickering nearby, she lightly punched his chest, “What

nonsense are you spouting?”

Despite her shyness, they ended up sharing the bath.

Post-bath, the bedroom still buzzed with passion. Fortunately, both were well-exercised and could manage on

just a couple of hours’ sleep.

The next morning, two unfamiliar female omegas entered to assist Lance.

Ralph had arranged this. These two had previously worked at packhouse. With no one to care for Lance, it

wouldn't do to have male omegas help him change.

As for Luna Adelaide’s omegas, sattended to Cedric, while Beata and the others stayed with her.

Ivy, busy with the plum garden, couldn’t be spared.

Young omegas might harbor ulterior motives, so it was safer to have the two seasoned omegas from packhouse,

aged forty-plus and reliable, attend to Lance.

They were originally sent by Clarissa to care for her and were trustworthy.

Lance had no court duties today. Year-end meant the judiciary was on holiday, with business resuming early next

year.

Adelaide planned to return to the Frostfang Pack. After breakfast, they sent for Cedric, intending to take him

back.

Unexpectedly, Paisley and Avery arrived as they were leaving.

Paisley announced, “They left yesterday evening, saying they were in a hurry and wouldn't say goodbye.”

Adelaide’s eyes welled up, “This again. | can’t trust Irene. She promised to informbefore leaving.” Paisley

consoled, “Irene feared your tears. Don't fret. I'll take you to the Shadow Peaks when it warms up.”

“Are you staying here until then?” Adelaide asked.

“Actually, | didn’t want to stay. Prunella said sthings might need a go-between, so | stayed,” Paisley

confided, “She even left a few people to keepinformed.”

Adelaide felt a mix of heartache and gratitude. Prunella’s people weren't easily lent to others.

“Capital life must be hard for you,” she said, hugging Paisley.

for “Not for me. My mentor advised a stay in the capital. If | spot a suitable werewolf, Ill feign interest. He'll

marriage,” Prunella explained nonchalantly.

Adelaide, on the verge of tears, stopped crying upon hearing this.

“If you like someone, I'll help you-no need for kidnappings,” she offered.

For a Stephens girl seeking a mate, it wasn’t too difficult, provided she lowered her standards.

But for Paisley, who aimed high, this wasn’t an option.

She could learn to fight but wouldn't mate with a low-status werewolf.

Lance had summoned Avery to the study, where Caldwell and Ralph were present.

Learning that Lance wanted him to lead the werewolf warrior squad, Avery's eyes widened. “You wantto

head the Blackthorn Pack’s warrior guard? How much will | get paid monthly?”

Avery was blunt; he was in the capital

to

earn money.

Caldwell chuckled, “With Luna Adelaide's backing, your salary won't be poor. Focus on your duties, and once the

Blackthorn warrior guard arrives, you'll be in charge of training and management. Such a demanding role

deserves a bonus.”

Avery grew impatient. “Just tellthe exact number.”

Caldwell held up a finger and said, “This number.”

A

Avery was getting angry inside. He really wanted to hit Caldwell’s head with a stick. Why couldn't he just say the

amount directly? Why did he have to make people guess?

Lance asked, “Will you take the job?”

A

“Yes!” Avery agreed instantly, planning to ask Adelaide about the specifics later.

After all, the job had to be accepted; returning to the pack without earnings meant a beating.

“No need to worry about recruitment. Just focus on coaching and teaching them combat skills,” Caldwell

instructed.

Avery inquired, “But can the Blackthorn Pack accommodate so many people?”

Ralph assured him, “Don’t concern yourself with that. There's vacant land behind the Blackthorn Pack. After the

New Year, we'll hire a construction team. With funding secured, the barracks will be up in no time.”

“And I'll still get paid during this period, right?” Avery pressed.

Caldwell, though annoyed by Avery's focus on money, respected his clarity.

“Rest assured, you'll get paid,” Caldwell said. He wasn’t stingy, especially since Avery was an old acquaintance

of Luna Adelaide's. His pay would be generous.

Relieved, Avery grinned, “Alright.”

Although the judiciary had closed its cases, as the Ironthorn Army’s commander, Lance was busier than

ever.

He informed Adelaide he had a meeting to attend regarding shift schedules and patrol arrangements for the

holiday season.

Adelaide said, “Go ahead. I'll visit Sidney with Paisley and Avery.”
