Adelaide’s POV

I had just returned to the Frostfang Pack when I saw Beta Fabian waiting for me in the Packhouse conference hall.

Beata told me that Fabian had been waiting for a while.

He was dressed neatly, carrying the air of royalty–authoritative and proper.

“This is a new order from Lycan Erasmus,” Beta Fabian said, handing me a sealed scroll bearing the royal wolf–head stamp.

I opened it and was stunned. It said that if I couldn’t find a suitable mate in three months, I’d be summoned to the palace as the New Moon Priestess.

My cedar pheromones froze instantly. The silver–blue wolf hair behind my ears bristled like steel needles.

My nails shot out three inches, scratching the parchment and leaving five scorched marks with a sulfurous smell.

“Three months… New Moon Priestess?” The howl that rumbled in my throat shattered the hall’s crystal chandelier. The shards hovered in the air, sharpened into ice spikes by my chaotic pheromones.

In my mind’s eye, my wolf was tearing at the bonding chains.

Its golden–red pupils reflected the moon goddess blood oath on the scroll. “They want to pull out your fangs and turn you into a breeding bitch!”

Beta Fabian’s pheromones struggled to calm my cedar aura. “Calm down, Alpha Adelaide…….”

I quickly had everyone leave, except Beta Fabian.
