Luna Cynthia urged. “You can’t leave now! The birthday banquet hasn’t even started. If you leave, the Bloodmoon Pack will lose all face.”
Gloria’s face was pale with fury, her hatred for Sabrina intense.
Now, the Bloodmoon Pack was the laughing stock of the event, and not because of Velda, but because of her and Sabrina.
What made it worse was that Sibyl had witnessed the entire incident.
Sibyl already had misunderstandings about Alpha Ulrik, and now she’d think even more poorly of the Bloodmoon Pack.
Gloria endured the humiliation and stayed, but not before giving Sabrina’s arm a hard pinch and warning her in a low voice, “Behave yourself.”
Sabrina, tears welling up, trembled with shame.
She couldn’t believe that in that situation, Alpha Lance hadn’t helped her up.
Any man would have offered assistance; after all, such a fall could ruin a girl’s looks.
Ivy approached Sabrina and said, “Sabrina, you’ve hurt your forehead. Come with me to tend to the
wound.”
Ivy had once been in charge of affairs in the Bloodmoon Pack and was well–acquai
with Sabrina.
Sabrina, aware of the blood on her forehead, knew it would be improper to stay at the banquet with such an injury, so she left with Ivy.
As Ivy treated her wound, she remarked coolly, “Never covet what others possess.”
Sabrina felt utterly humiliated and shook with emotion.
Meanwhile, Paisley found Adelaide outside.

“It was Wanda who pushed her. The way those two acted, it was clearly premeditated. They wanted Sabrina to throw herself into Lance’s arms. If her pheromones had tainted Lance, they could’ve forced him to mate her. But oddly, Wanda didn’t seem too concerned about the plan’s success.”
Adelaide responded, “From the moment Hera showed up with her grandchildren and steered the conversation toward breeders, I knew what they were up to. They wanted to make Priscilla envious and drive her to find a breeder for Lance, thereby creating a rift between Priscilla and me.”
“And Sabrina? They never intended to help her become the Blackthorn Pack’s breeder. Both Wanda and Sabrina know the Blackthorn Pack would never accept someone from the Bloodmoon Pack. Their real aim was to make Lance appear irresponsible.”

“Isn’t Sabrina out of her mind? Does she really think she can mate Alpha Lance? Is she daft?”
Paisley shook his head. “After today’s fiasco, who would still want her?”
Adelaide said coolly. “She’s foolish, but she’s here in the Blackthorn Pack with Wanda, which means her mother Rosemary must support this. With Ulrik demoted, knowing Rosemary, she must be desperate. Desperation makes people act without thinking.
Paisley agreed wholeheartedly.
“By the way, you were near them earlier. Did you hear what Madison and Priscilla were saying? Why did they send Sophia to fetch Lance?”
Paisley explained, “They were with Hera, discussing whose son was more filial. Madison said while Alpha Lance was capable, he wasn’t as filial as Ansley. Priscilla became defensive, insisting Lance was filial too. Madison didn’t believe her. Then Sophia suggested she fetch Lance, claiming Priscilla was feeling unwell. If Lance rushed over, it would prove his filial piety. Priscilla went for it.”
Adelaide mused, “Sophia? She was the one who suggested it?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm, an omega making such a suggestion? Interesting, Adelaide remarked.
Paisley tapped Adelaide’s forehead lightly. This one’s too bold. She should be fired.”
Adelaide agreed. “The real issue is making Priscilla see the traitor in her midst.”
Firing Sophia wasn’t the challenge. The problem was Priscilla’s blind confidence in her circle. She believed everyone around her was loyal. This single incident wouldn’t convince her that Sophia had been bought off by Madison
Adelaide glanced at Priscilla, who was chatting with Madison and Hera, her chin:
d high in pride.
Adelaide felt a strange sensation. After the gold jewelry store incident, Priscilla and Madison had been at each other’s throats.
Now, here they were together again. Had Priscilla not learned her lesson, or did she think she’d become smarter?
Finally, the banquet began. Adelaide sat beside Priscilla, with Susan and Sophia attending to them.
Cedric was introduced to the guests by Lance.
The birthday banquet was flawless. Even Madison, known for her high standards, found no faults
Aside from Sabrina’s little incident, everything went smoothly.
Dishes were served one after another, each looking and tasting delightful. Well–trained servants attended to the guests with perfect etiquette and procedure.
Many guests thought to themselves that it was no wonder Alpha Lance didn’t mind Adelaide being in her second mate.

Besides being a warrior, she was a excellent pack manager.
The Bloodmoon Pack had truly lost a gem. Would Ulrik regret it?
