Fabian said, “The other day, at the Silverglow Pack’s Melinda’s bonding ceremony, I heard that Adelaide had her Beta deliver a gift, but it was returned.”

Lycan Erasmus frowned and asked, ‘Why would that be?‘

Fabian’s Adam’s apple suddenly rolled, and his neck glands uncontrollably released a cypress scent–a instinctive reaction of lower–ranking wolves when reporting sensitive matters.

The wolf–head carving on the armrest of Lycan Erasmus’s bronze throne suddenly opened its vertical pupils, and the entire tent was instantly filled with icy pheromones akin to a tundra blizzard.

“I heard that they felt Adelaide, having returned to the Frostfang Pack after dissolving her mate bond, was not dignified enough,” Fabian explained. “After all, Alpha Howell of the Silverglow Pack is a descendant of a royal elder.”

The bronze goblet suddenly shattered into ice crystals. Lycan Erasmus’s bone tail swept the ground, kicking up hexagonal frost flowers.

The silver moon crest on his forehead emitted a cold light, and his elongated canines refracted the candlelight like cold ice. He said, “Is this true? Skye and Airella are sisters, and Melinda and Adelaide were close as children. What’s undignified about a cousin sending a gift to another cousin?”

“Moreover, it was I who declared their mate bond null and void. Are they questioning my decree?” Erasmus added.

Under the pressure, Fabian’s keratin layers peeled off. He had to kneel on one knee to steady his voice.

“Perhaps Luna Skye is being fastidious about noble appearances. Besides, with the Frostfang Pack now reduced to Miss Davidson alone and no hope of resurgence, even her own aunt treats her indifferently.”

Lycan Erasmus recalled Lycan Luna Clarissa’s friendship with Airella.

His vertical pupils abruptly narrowed into silver lines, and all the bronze candelabras in the tent melted simultaneously.

He darkened his expression. “Do not let Luna Clarissa know of this. She dotes on Adelaide. Should she learn that Adelaide has been slighted, she would surely be furious.”

“Yes, I
