Chapter 3

Adelaide’s POV

Beata brought the Frostfang asset list. “You’ve covered six million in Bloodmoon’s operating costs this year alone. The mines, houses, estates? untouched. All of Luna Airella’s bank accounts and property deeds are locked in the vault.”

I stared at the list. Airella had prepared all this to ensure my happiness—how heartbreaking my current situation must be to her memory.

My wolf whined, pain lancing through me.

“Where can we even go, Adelaide?” Beata asked. “Back to Frostfang?”

The memory of Frostfang’s plaza, slick with blood, flashed before my eyes.

My heart clenched. “Anywhere’s better than here.”

“But won’t Ulrik be thrilled if we leave?” Beata fumed.

“Adelaide!” Beata sobbed.

I knew her pain—everyone she loved had died in Frostfang’s massacre.
