After the door closed, Clarissa rested her hands on her knees, still somewhat uneasy. “What did you hope to achieve by probing Adelaide just now?”

Lycan Erasmus smiled. “I merely wanted to see if she would defend Lance and to tease her a bit.”

“And now that you’ve seen she will defend him, how does that make you feel?”

Erasmus’s smile turned somewhat wistful. “I’m happy for him, of course. At least I know Adelaide’s feelings for him are genuine.”

Clarissa gazed at him for a long moment before saying, “The former Lycan King also had feelings for another she–wolf. But regarding Alpha Bentley as a brother, he would always avoid any occasion where Airelle was present or when she visited the palace. It was his greatest respect for his brother.”

“Indeed, Airelle never knew of the former Lycan King’s feelings.”

Erasmus’s face momentarily froze, his smile fading and replaced with gravity. “Thank you for the reminder. I understand.”

After a moment of silence, he asked, “Does it not bother you? The way you still treat Adelaide so kindly.”

Clarissa smiled gently, her expression serene. “What is there to be bothered about? Are there not enough priestesses in this palace? Moreover, I became his mate to serve as Lycan Luna. As the partner of the royal Lycan, I have my duties and cannot indulge in petty jealousy.”

“As for your father, he is well aware of his identity. As Lycan King, his role is to govern the entire werewolf kingdom, protect the land, and reclaim lost territories.”
