“Susan,” Priscilla suddenly stopped and asked, “Do you think it’s possible that Alpha Lance truly favors Adelaide?”

She’d long harbored suspicions, especially given the ceremony’s grandeur–hardly the casual affair he’d described.

He talked like it was all just talk. But every process was handled with top–notch care. The villa was being decked out in pure luxury.

“If it’s true, that’s wonderful,” Susan replied. “At least Alpha Lance has found someone he loves.”

Priscilla shook her head, her brows creasing with worry. “No, that complicates things. If she’s the one he loves, he’d shield her in everything. How am I to assert my authority then?”

Susan placated her, “We’re just speculating. Don’t overthink it. If Adelaide were his true love, how could he have stood by and watched her mate with Ulrik?”

Priscilla saw her point.

Lance was far away on the battlefield back then. Even if he’d wanted to prevent Adelaide and Ulrik’s mating bond, it was impossible.

The distance between the front and the capital was vast. Even if Adelaide had given birth, Lance might not have known in time.

Moreover, focused on winning the war and believing Airella had consented to his and Adelaide’s mating bond, he was determined to return victorious.
