Chapter 483
Third Person’s POV
The former Luna disliked Adelaide the most. “Adelaide may be the mate of a royal member, but she has no right to meddle in our Soulrend Pack’s internal affairs. Even Luha Skye hasn’t said anything. Adelaide is overstepping her boundaries.”
But as cries echoed from the room, she shuddered all the same. “Wasn’t one of Doctor Digby’s subordinates in there? What’s she doing?”
They climbed the stone steps, and in the outer room, all the women were gathered. Behind a single door lay Melinda’s birthing chamber.
Melinda was in agony, writhing in pain. The bleeding on her forehead had stopped, but her face was
swollen.
Dwight had pushed her down the stone steps, and Paige and Georgina hadn’t been there to witness it.
By the time Georgina rushed over, Melinda had already fallen.
The steps weren’t high, but with Melinda’s heavy pregnancy, her head had struck the corner of the first
step.
When Georgina lifted her, blood had already pooled around them.
Fortunately, Galvin had been there for a few days and quickly treated the wound.
The midwife, arranged by Adelaide, was the best in the capital.
Many noble families sought her services.
After Galvin tended to Melinda’s forehead, she noticed something was wrong–Melinda began to bleed.
Although it was Melinda’s due date, the fall had complicated things.
“Go and bring Luna Skye,” Luna Chloe said, half out of her mind with worry, her palms sweating.
If anything happened to Melinda, the royal family would hold them accountable. Both Clarissa and Lycan Erasmus held Melinda in high regard.
Someone rushed out, and the pack guards immediately set off for the Silverlight Pack.
The male wolves of the Soulrend Pack waited in the conference hall, anxiously awaiting news.
Alpha Manfred was so furious at Dwight that he wanted to break his legs.
They had thought Dwight truly wanted to reconcile with Melinda, but it turned out he harbored so much resentment that he resorted to violence at the slightest disagreement.
They should have left him to rot outside; it was only because the former Luna pitied him that he was brought back.

Other members were present too. This was no ordinary childbirth. If anything happened to Melinda, the Soulrend Pack’s fortunes would be over.

His once–handsome appearance was gone, replaced by a swollen, almost unrecognizable face.
“Adelaide, Paisley,” Paige stepped forward, her voice choked with emotion. “We’re sorry. We failed you. Georgina and I didn’t take good care of Melinda.”
“How is Melinda?” Adelaide asked.
Almost immediately, they heard Melinda’s increasingly faint wails from inside, “Ade…”
Adelaide’s heart ached, and she rushed into the room.
Those waiting in the living room stood up quickly, their pheromones quivering under the aura of Adelaide’s.
But Adelaide paid them no mind, bursting into the room like a gust of wind, with Paisley hot on her heels, her Crimson Flame pheromones blazing like fire.
At the sight of Melinda, Adelaide gasped.
Her pupils narrowed sharply–how had her forehead been injured again?
Her cedar pheromones grew heavy with concern.
“Galvin, what’s the situation?” she asked, first grasping Melinda’s hand, her fingertips faintly clawed from worry.
She sat on the bed, using her sleeve to wipe away Melinda’s sweat and tears, her pheromones wrapping around her gently.
Galvin was administering an injection. A blanket was pulled high, with an IV tube inserted into Melinda’s stomach.
Galvin’s wooden pheromones struggled to stay steady but trembled with unease.
Galvin sighed and said, “It’s not just a case of disturbed fetal energy. I’m afraid the fetus has been injured. We’ve administered oxytocin, but there’s no sign of labor. This has been going on for three hours now.”
Melinda’s face was contorted with pain, her silvermoon grass pheromones shattered into fragments of

Her voice, laced with the howl of a wolf, whimpered, “Ade… it hurts so much.”
“Don’t be afraid! I’m here,” Adelaide soothed her. Her cedar pheromones flowed like warm water, easing Melinda’s suffering.
Turning to Galvin, her pupils filled with urgency
she asked, “Is Doctor Digby not in the city?”
“He’s left the capital to treat someone. Georgina’s gone to find him. We can only hope she arrives in time.
Though Galvin tried to stay calm to reassure everyone, her trembling voice betrayed her anxiety and worry. Her wooden pheromones were a tangled mess.
Paisley turned and left the room, her Crimson Flame pheromones suddenly sharp and fierce.
Paige stood outside, her gaze fixed on the Soulrend Pack members, especially the former Luna. Her pheromones bristled with caution.
This former Luna was a troublemaker who had just spouted some outrageous words. Paige had to keep an eye on her, ensuring she didn’t send someone in to utter hurtful words–her aura formed an invisible wall at the door.
“Paige, what exactly happened here? Why did things turn into such a mess?” Paisley asked, her Crimson Flame pheromones seething with rage.
