“Are you going to see Sidney? How about waiting for me? I can go with you once I’m free,” Lance said. “No need. The three of us will go. You’re busy with the holiday’s defense patrols,” Adelaide replied.

Though nominally the deputy commander, Adelaide knew the patrols were Lance’s top priority and prone to issues.

Lance had wanted to accompany them but needed to stay and command. Plus, with heavy snow and Sidney’s frail health, the visit couldn’t wait.

“Be careful on the road,” Lance said after a moment. “I’ll join you once I’m done.”

Lance hoped to meet Sidney, as he was now Adelaide’s mate.

Adelaide noticed the longing in his eyes and quickly looked away, not wanting Paisley and Avery to tease her. “You go ahead with your duties,” she said.

Lance felt a twinge of disappointment–Adelaide seemed to keep her distance, always averting her gaze when their eyes met.

Yet he couldn’t help but seek her out.

“Alpha Lance, the carriage is ready,” Ralph announced.

“Right,” Lance stepped forward and took Adelaide’s hand. “Drive carefully and bundle up. It’s snowing today.”

“Got it,” Adelaide smiled and pulled her hand back. “We’re taking the car. You focus on your work.”

Lance felt a pang of wistfulness as his hand was withdrawn.
