Adelaide’s mind raced. Was this connected to Lycan Erasmus’s demand that she find a mate within three

months?

Lance, knowing her sharpness, figured she’d found some truth.

He said, “No matter who I choose, Lycan Erasmus will think what he thinks. Given my status, could I really pick an ordinary she–wolf?”

It made sense, but Adelaide sensed something off.

She could lead werewolf warriors into battle. Mating with her was a risk for Alpha Lance.

“Did you propose because you knew I didn’t want to become a priestess? Are you helping me?”

Adelaide first considered this possibility. “Lycan Erasmus didn’t actually pressure you to find a mate, did he? You’re helping me.”

Lance smiled helplessly. “You’re mistaken. Even without Lycan Erasmus’s push, many she–wolves would vie to be my mate after my triumph. Refusing them risks offense. The sooner I finalize the bond, the better.”

“As for why I chose you,” Lance continued with a wry smile, “we’ve both been through the Warscar Training Camp. You were forced to find a mate, I was on a pyre–it seemed logical to pair up.”

Lies were tough. He couldn’t tell her he’d relinquish command to bond with her–that was unspeakable.
