Chapter 45

Third Person’s POV

Adelaide gasped, a shiver running down her spine as pain prickled her neck.

She fought the urge to reveal her wolf ears, but her nails dug half–moon trenches into her palms.

“Alpha Lance, it hurts,” she said, her voice deeper than usual, a barely noticeable tremor betraying her discomfort–not from his rough touch, but from the “mates” talk.

As the Frostfang Pack heir, she’d been taught, “Vulnerability only shows when wounds scab.”

“Haha!”

Alpha Lance’s laughter shook the tent. “So delicate! Wait till you taste a bear’s warhammer on your shoulder–that’s real pain!”

His slap on her shoulder was rough yet familiar.

Adelaide wasn’t one could not endure hardships, but the cold had left her skin raw and sensitive.

Lance’s calloused fingers felt like needles.

After his jest, Lance said, “We’ll capture Frostbite Town before reinforcements arrive, then face them in the final battle. Adelaide, I expect great things from you and Ulrik on the battlefield.”

Adelaide thought for a moment and felt she really ought to tell everyone about the end of her mating bond with Ulrik.

Otherwise, when Ulrik and Velda arrived with the reinforcements and everyone still thought she and Ulrik were mates, everyone would be really embarrassed.

And it could cause a lot of mistrust among them.

Though feuding with Velda, they were currently allies.

Before she could speak, someone said, “Ulrik’s lucky to have a fierce she–wolf like Adelaide as his Luna.”

Abbott smiled at her. “If he ever bullies you, tell me. I’ll sort him out.”

“Don’t be silly. Airella picked him. He can’t be that bad. Let’s not gossip and risk their relationship,” someone else said.

Mention of her mother’s choice silenced Adelaide.

Alpha Lance sensed her secrecy but didn’t press.

Over these days, she’d only eaten her fill on the first day and today. Otherwise, she’d been half- starved, sleeping heavily despite the gnawing hunger.

But tonight, after a rare full meal, sleep cluded her.

If she told them that the mate her mother had chosen for her had abandoned her shortly after carning battlefield glory, and was now seeking a bond with a she–wolf like Velda, would they understand?

Adelaide said, “I want to tell Alpha Lance about Ulrik and me… Do you think he’ll assume I’m here to compete with Velda?”
