Everyone nodded in agreement.

Beatrice suddenly stood up and said, “Adelaide and Cedric should have dinner here before they leave. I’ll have the kitchen prepare some extra dishes right away.”
Adelaide hadn’t mentioned dining in, but the Thunder Wolf Pack was eager to host Cedric for dinner.
She gladly accepted their kind offer.
Beatrice quickly arranged for omega servants to bring out a sumptuous meal.
Even Luna Audrey joined them, her spirits visibly lifted.
After dinner and a bit more conversation, Adelaide and Cedric took their leave.
Luna Audrey promptly gathered everyone in the conference room.
Her eyes, no longer dull, sparkled with determination as she addressed the Pahari family members. “When Adelaide’s mating ceremony takes place, the Thunder Wolf Pack must help organize it and prepare a generous gift. We need to maintain close ties with her.”
“You should socialize more. Attend banquets and gatherings–no more hiding at home. Build connections. Cedric will inherit the Alpha position and join the Royal Elder Council. He’ll need a strong network of support,” she instructed.
“Yes, ma’am!” everyone chorused.
The next day, the Thunder Wolf Pack sent over Cedric’s favorite foods and informed Adelaide that their omega crafters were busy making clothes, shoes, and socks for him.
The Thunder Wolf Pack demonstrated their care for Cedric through actions.
Relieved and at ease, Cedric realized his grandparents‘ home not only accepted him but cherished him.
That same day, Doctor Digby visited again, insisting on rechecking Cedric for any missed details.
His meticulousness reflected his high regard for the Frostfang Pack’s legacy.
After Doctor Digby left, Lance arrived with Tommy.
He told Adelaide he came to visit Cedric and hoped to get closer to him.
Cedric was delighted and showed Lance the ink bottle Mallory had given him, generously offering to gift
one to Lance.
Lance playfully accepted it, spent some time teaching Cedric handwriting, then joined Adelaide outside.

Lance strolled over to Adelaide, a tall figure with an ink bottle in hand, teasing, “He actually gave me a bottle of ink–how generous!”
Adelaide chuckled and waved an omega over for coffee. “He’s just being generous with someone else’s things. That ink is from Mallory,” she said.
“The Thunder Wolf Pack must be thrilled,” Lance remarked as he sat down.
Adelaide shared how the Thunder Wolf Pack had initially doubted Cedric’s return but became overjoyed upon seeing him.
Lance explained, “They’re deeply emotional but also stubborn. Don’t take it to heart.”
Adelaide nodded with a smile, recalling her time at the Shadow Peaks.
During the journey while caring for Cedric, she didn’t get to ask clearly, so she inquired, “You went to the Shadow Peaks. What did my mentor say?”
Lance said, “She was a bit hesitant at first, but my teacher convinced her.”
Adelaide curiously asked, “Your teacher has influence over my mentor? Who is your teacher?”
A hint of mystery crossed Lance’s face as he said, “Take a guess.”
“I can’t possibly guess…”
As she spoke, Adelaide recalled that her mentor, Irene, had a teacher named Klein. It was said that Klein had another student who didn’t live at the Warscar Training Camp but visited occasionally.
She looked up sharply and said, “Is your teacher Klein, my mentor’s teacher?”
Lance was taken aback. He’d intended to tease her but didn’t expect her to guess so quickly.
He couldn’t help but smile and said, “Everyone says you’re smart, and you sure proved it. You’re right. Although we’re both from the Warscar Training Camp, our teachers are different.”
Adelaide was genuinely surprised. “No wonder you visit the camp once a year and know it so well.”
Lance shook his head and said, “Not exactly familiar. I don’t interact much with Irene’s students or Craig and the others.”
Adelaide asked curiously, “Why not? Since you’re Klein’s student, why not engage more with us?”
With a broad grin, Lance said, “Klein forbade it. His exact words were…”
He stood up, imitating Klein’s mannerisms–hands behind his back, a cold expression, and furrowed brows. “Steer clear of that bunch. They’re good for nothing. Minimize contact with them to avoid catching
their bad habits.”
Adelaide burst into laughter. “So true! Klein always looked down on us like that.”

She was amazed. “You’re from the Warscar Training Camp too? We’re schoolmates! I never would have guessed. Did you enroll before me, or was I first?”
Lance, holding an ink bottle, met her eyes with a smile and asked, “Have you taken Cedric to see Elder Halsey yet?”
Adelaide tilted her head but didn’t answer, wondering if he was implying she was a junior student.
“Junior student?” She blinked innocently.
