Sibyl was initially confused by the silence. Seeing everyone’s quiet demeanor and the Penelope family’s reserved tone, she sensed something amiss.
Sabrina, unnoticed in the hall, finally seized her chance.
She hurried to Gloria, linked arms with her, and introduced her to Sibyl as her brother’s mate.
Sibyl looked at Sabrina, unsure who she was.
Genevieve whispered, “She’s from the Bloodmoon Pack and Alpha Ulrik’s younger sister. Gloria is now mated to Ulrik.”
Sibyl recalled Ulrik’s proposal to Velda with his war merits. Genevieve hadn’t hid this from her, as it didn’t directly concern her.
But Genevieve had kept Gloria and Ulrik’s mating a secret.
So when Sibyl heard that Gloria had married Ulrik, she froze in disbelief and asked, “Alpha Ulrik? That Ulrik?”
Gloria nodded gently and replied, “Yes.”
Sibyl’s face drained of color, and her wolf ears flattened sharply with shock.
The Hutchinson family’s signature fir pheromones grew chaotic, scattering like embers in a storm.
When her son Eugene died in battle, she’d used this scent to comfort Gloria, allowing her to leave the pack in hopes of finding a suitable mate.
But she never imagined Gloria would mate with Ulrik–a man who sought breeders soon after his battlefield achievements.
Sibyl despised Ulrik. The Hutchinsons, a military family, would never condone such behavior.
She couldn’t fathom Gloria’s choice.
Her wolf eyes glinted coldly, her fingers subtly shifting into claws, scratching her skirt.
Her voice trembled, “Does he treat you well?”
After she asked, Sibyl felt like she was overstepping bounds. She realized Gloria and the Hutchinson family no longer had any connection.
Gloria, eager to escape, simply nodded, “Pretty good.”
Gloria clearly didn’t want to chat with Sibyl anymore and shrugged off Sabrina’s arm.
Gloria retracted her arm from Sabrina’s grip, leaving three faint red marks.

She said, “Let’s not sit here. Let’s take a walk in the garden and see the flowers”
The temporary mark on her neck glowed an eerie red. It was Ulrik’s doing, a forced bond with low–gay pheromones. The wild rose scent turned sharp, overwhelming the strong fir smell from Sy
The tense atmosphere made everyone uneasy. Even dim–witted Priscilla sensed something wrong
She stood and proposed, “Adelaide recently added many rare flowers. Let’s go to the garden. The bougainvillea on the wall is in full bloom–dense and beautiful. If we don’t see it soon, it’ll wild
Adelaide echoed, “Those uninterested in flowers can follow me for the performance?
Supporting Priscilla down the steps, Adelaide then gently took Sibyl’s arm. “Let’s go admire the flowers. It’s been ages since I’ve seen you. I’d love to catch up,” she said softly.
As Adelaide guided Sibyl, the heat from her palm conveyed the other’s suppressed rage.
Sibyl’s agitation was palpable; she couldn’t fathom Gloria’s union with Ulrik.
Why had she come today, bearing the title of Ulrik’s mate?
The Hutchinsons had permitted her departure, hoping she’d find a worthy partner. Yet Ulrik was no such person.
Sibyl felt a rising discomfort.
Her son Eugene had been exceptional. Any new mate should at least match his caliber, not someone of Ulrik’s ilk.
Madison was thoroughly annoyed by the sudden turn of events.
She had planned to sit with others and mock Priscilla, relishing her mix of anger, frustration, and jealousy.
But with the Hutchinsons‘ arrival, her scheme to use Hera’s grandchildren to torment Priscilla seemed futile.
However, Madison had noticed a flicker of jealousy in Priscilla’s eyes and decided to provoke her further, driving her to scheme for Lance to take a lover.
Sabrina followed Madison to the garden, her gaze darting around anxiously.
She longed to see Lance but feared her plan’s success hinged on it.
Last night, Paisley had lost a bet with Adelaide and disguised herself as a servant in the packlands.
Though she vowed not to serve others, she stood at a distance, watching Madison and her group.
No anomalies were detected yet, but from their glances and Sabrina’s restless demeanor, Paisley suspected mischief.
