Chapter 118

Adelaide’s POV

Schmoozing with guests was just a masked ball for me.

Before joining the Bloodmoon Pack, my mother had the Moon Goddess Temple’s etiquette priestess train me with a rod to have the standard noble smile–lips up 15 degrees, eyes with a third of warmth, and a voice like silvergrass.

After all, she groomed me to be the pack’s Luna.

In socializing, we chatted and laughed cheerfully, parting with a touch of reluctance.

Once the door closes, we dropped the smiles, rubbed our sore jaws, hydrated, and prepared for the next

batch.

That evening, Luna Skye and Melinda visited.

Recalling the returned gifts, I still greeted them with a warm smile. “Luna Skey, Melinda, please come in.”

Luna Skye’s fingers, cool as snow despite the dragon’s breath scent, held my hand as she apologized, “Adelaide, I’m sorry. I didn’t accept your gift because I thought you might be short on funds after parting with Ulrik and returning to the Frostfang Pack.” Her voice had the perfect catch.

“You didn’t want me to be at a disadvantage, so you protected my assets on my behalf,” I said, retracting my hand and subtly brushing it against my skirt’s embroidery.

I instructed Beata, “Bring Luna Skye the coffee beans I bought from the Southern Border.”

“I’m relieved you understand,” Luna Skye said sincerely.
