Third Person’s POV
Everyone stayed silent, not wanting to offend either side.
Rowena coolly interjected, “Luna Adelaide has only been mated for a few months, while Wanda has been mated for years with no children. If Madison has any tips on having kids, maybe she should share them with Wanda first.”
The two had always been at odds.
Rowena disliked how Wanda often returned to Madison’s place whenever something happened. Madison, in turn, was annoyed by Rowena’s stern and cold attitude.
Madison sneered, “Wanda hasn’t had kids, but her mate has had no shortage of breeders. On the other hand, Lance doesn’t even have a breeder.”
Rowena shot back, “Madison is so generous, finding so many lovers for your daughter’s mate. But no one knows what these lovers look like. Has anyone actually seen them?”
Wanda coldly replied, “Breeders are just lowly omegas. They’re not fit for formal occasions, so naturally, they’re not allowed at banquets.”
Rowena immediately retorted, “Not allowed at banquets is one thing, but not even greeting guests when they visit? That’s just rude.”
Seeing the two argue heatedly, Mrs. Voss stepped in to mediate. “I heard there’s a band performing today, and the garden flowers are in full bloom. Why not take a walk and enjoy the music and scenery instead of just sitting here chatting?”
Priscilla was about to suggest going out when the announcement came, “The Ironclaw Pack’s Cynthia and Christine have arrived.”
Lady Cynthia entered with Christine and Gloria.
Gloria’s presence stunned everyone.
Why was Gloria here? Did Adelaide invite her?
Was she looking to cause trouble?
Moreover, why would she come uninvited?
As tensions rose, Adelaide approached with a smile.
Glancing at Gloria, she said, “Luna Gloria is here too? I don’t recall sending an invitation to the Bloodmoon Pack. Did you come with the Ironclaw Pack?”
So she wasn’t invited. How dare she show up?
Given the rivalry between the two packs, some wondered if Gloria was careless, foolish, or deliberately provocative.,

Chapter 334
Gloria looked at Adelaide and asked, “Am I not welcomed to be here?”
Adelaide smiled and said, “Of course not. All guests are welcome. Please, have a seat.*
Gloria spotted Sabrina and was about to approach when the announcement came again, “The Hutchinson family has arrived.”
Gloria’s face froze.
The Hutchinsons?
She almost forgot about them.
She hurriedly sat in a corner, anxious and wondering who from the Hutchinson family had come.
She hoped it wasn’t Sibyl, her ex–mate’s mother, who rarely attended social events.
But fate had other plans. As she sat down, she saw Genevieve escorting Sibyl, her ex–mate’s mother, into the room, followed by several young women from the Hutchinson family.
“Genevieve,” Adelaide greeted, bowing to Abbot’s mate and nodding to Sibyl, “How have you been?”
Sibyl’s eyes welled up at the sight of Adelaide.
Having endured similar emotional trials, she felt a kinship.
Yet she knew the occasion called for composure. She smiled faintly and said, “Thank you for asking. I’m well.”
With that, Sibyl and Genevieve led the children forward to greet Priscilla and curtseyed to the noble ladies
present.
As Sibyl scanned the room, she spotted Gloria.
She paused and walked straight up to her, saying, “Gloria, long time no see. How have you been?”
Sibyl had no idea Gloria had mated again.
Though the news was all over the city, especially since Gloria and Adelaide had their mating ceremonies on the same day, sparking lots of omegas gossip, Genevieve’s strict orders ensured no one mentioned Gloria and Ulrik’s mating to Sibyl.
Onlookers sensed Sibyl’s innocence and the room fell into an awkward silence.
Even the usually nosey officials‘ wives held their tongues.
Everyone knew of Sibyl’s tragic past—she had three sons, two of whom died young. Her only surviving son, Eugene, was brave in battle but fell on the field and never returned.
Seeing Sibyl tearfully inquire about Gloria, mistaking her for her son’s mate, tugged at everyone’s heartstrings.
Gloria rose, her voice gentle. “I’m fine,” she said, avoiding Sibyl’s gaze.
