Chapter 146

Third Person’s POV

At the sound of Adelaide’s name, the pheromones of those present suddenly grew chaotic.

A mix of mockery, gloom, hostility, and covert delight flickered across their faces.

There was Melinda, who had been seething at the insults hurled at Adelaide but had held her tongue out of deference to her junior status.

Upon hearing of Adelaide’s arrival, she rose hastily, only to be held back by Luna Skye.

Luna Skye, also in attendance, had maintained silence amid the gossip.

Now, she released calming pheromones from beneath her sleeve, advising, “Don’t act rashly. Let’s observe first.”

Priscilla felt a wave of dizziness–Adelaide had actually come?

If word got out that Adelaide was to bond with Lance, Priscilla would be utterly humiliated today!

The moment Adelaide stepped into the banquet hall, her wolf–head earrings shimmered under the chandelier like a silver moon slicing through the night.

Many Lunas present had visited her before.

But tonight, her elegant attire made her stand out even more. Her soft–pink lip gloss added a gentle sheen to her skin, and a light dusting of bronzer on her already fair cheeks enhanced her natural beauty.

Her plain yet battle–honed demeanor outshone the meticulously dressed young ladies, exuding an intimidating elegance.

Wanda had dressed extravagantly for the occasion.

In her gold–embroidered pleated gown, knee–length cloud–satin peony–patterned crimson jacket, and gold–and–silver–threaded red short coat, with her curly hair piled high and adorned with Swarovski crystals and emerald diamonds, she was the picture of opulence.

Yet even her grandeur paled before Adelaide’s understated grace, looking garish in comparison.

The usually willful Wanda sneered, “Today’s my mother’s birthday banquet. You’re dressed so plainly- clearly you don’t care about her.”

Adelaide glanced at her coolly and smiled, “How I dress isn’t important. This is Madison’s banquet, after all. If we all dressed like neon signs, it would steal your thunder as the Christmas tree.” 3

“You…” Wanda instinctively looked down at her outfit–this season’s hottest color palette straight from Milan Fashion Week–now likened to a neon sign and a Christmas tree.

How could she swallow this insult? “How dare you call my outfit gaudy?”

Adelaide inspected her again, her tone even, “I didn’t say that. I just thought you probably see your mother’s birthday as a festival, hence the elaborate attire.”

“But color coordination requires layers and rhythm, much like wolf pack tactics need balance. Your outfit…”

Her finger lightly traced Wanda’s sleeve, “looks like you’ve dumped a jewelry box on your head.

Turning to the other female guests, she smiled and asked, “Ladies, what’s your take?”

The crowd fell silent, though a few couldn’t help but stifle giggles.

Was Adelaide courting disaster by embarrassing Wanda in front of Madison?

Adelaide noticed the Full Moon Priestess of the old Lycan King and two New Moon Priestesses, including

Priscilla.

When her gaze fell on Priscilla, a flash of brightness crossed her eyes before she turned away, huffing angrily.

This nuanced shift in expression puzzled Adelaide–Why did Priscilla first glow with strange light, then instantly look annoyed?

Was she upset over something here, or was she offended by Adelaide?

As Adelaide moved to greet Madison, she caught sight of Rosemary out of the corner of her eye.

Inviting Rosemary had likely fueled the earlier conversation.

But why was Priscilla acting so oddly?

Seeing no one else come to her aid, Wanda turned on Rosemary, “We were just talking about you! You’ve made Luna Rosemary so ill with your antics. You won’t even let Digby treat her. Even with your merits for the royal house, you can’t hide your malicious nature. No wonder the Bloodmoon Pack cast you out.”

Her words struck the gossip bull’s–eye of the banquet hall.

Madison promptly “feigned” indignation, “Wanda, that’s enough! How can you be so rude?”
