Chapter 211
Adelaide’s POV
Hearing Vanya’s words, I felt surprised.
Shaking my head, I said, “How could she come to find me? Impossible.”
“Why impossible? When they were arguing in the meeting hall, she said she’d find you,” Vanya said, shrugging helplessly.
“What would she want with me?” I said, feeling incredulous. “I have nothing to do with them anymore.”
“Who knows what she’s thinking? Her mind’s half–eaten by bugs,” I coughed twice and finished the chocolate pudding on my plate.
Putting down her spoon, she said, “Their arguing’s disturbing the whole pack. I’ve heard her say twice that she’s going to drag Ulrik to you to clear things up.”
“What’s left to clear up?” I said, puzzled. When we dissolved the mating bond, everything was said. Further arguments would only lead to blame, which was pointless.
Vanya snorted, “When Ulrik wanted to dissolve the bond with you, he said he wouldn’t keep any assets you brought from the Frostfang Pack. But Velda insisted he should keep part of it. Ulrik refused, and Velda said if they had kept that money you brought, the Bloodmoon Pack wouldn’t be struggling now and wouldn’t have to ally with a she–wolf who lost her mate.”
I was totally shocked.
Sometimes I really can’t understand what Velda’s thinking.
“So, the idea to withhold my funds wasn’t just Rosemary’s? Velda was in on it too?”
“It seems Ulrik didn’t communicate her intentions clearly. From their arguments, it sounds like Ulrik misunderstood her. She wanted to withhold the assets, but Ulrik thought he had persuaded her not to touch your assets. Anyway, it’s all a mess,” Vanya said with disdain. “If they keep fighting like this, it’s bound to get out. Tamara can’t control everyone’s tongue. Probably in a few days, the whole city will know.”
I still couldn’t grasp it. “So Velda wants to find me to get more property from the Frostfang Pack?”
“Not exactly. You left when the bond dissolved. You couldn’t leave assets behind. Who knows why she’s dragging Ulrik to find you? With her crazy personality, she might actually do it. If she comes, just don’t see her,” Vanya advised before adding irritably, “But with her current temperament, if you refuse to meet her, she might cause a scene at the pack’s border, which would be a hassle.”
I didn’t expect their quarrel to involve me. I had nothing to do with them now.
If it was not about assets, what else could it be?
To demand an explanation? But I should be the one seeking it.

When Vanya left, I had Ivy give her a box of gift.
Vanya had a cough that acted up when it was cold. I’d given her a lot before.
Vanya refused at first, so I used her own words against her, “If you don’t take it, I feel you’re rejecting me, and I won’t accept your gifts either.”
I motioned for Ivy to return the jewelry she had given.
“Alright, I’ll take it,” Vanya quickly took the box and sighed, “Always taking your things, I feel bad.”
“It’s you who stood by me during my toughest times,” I said, linking my arm with hers as I escorted her out of the Frostfang Pack.
After the Frostfang massacre, while Rosemary and Isaiah offered comfort, only Vanya truly stayed with
- me.
Knowing I couldn’t eat or sleep, Vanya cooked milk for me to help me rest.
Hearing this, Vanya nearly teared up, quickly wiping her nose and turning away. “I consider you family.”
I smiled and said, “I consider you family too.”
“That’s great,” Vanya said with a smile, though her joy was tinged with sorrow.
After seeing Vanya off, I returned to my room and helped Ivy put things away in the Frostfang storage.
I folded the clothes and put them in the wardrobe, which would be moved later.
As for Cedric’s clothes, I’d take them to him.
Running my hand over the fabric, it was clear Vanya had put a lot of thought into it. The clothes were flawless.
“Ivy, sometimes genuine kindness can earn genuine returns,” I said with a touch of emotion.
“Absolutely. In this world, not everyone is ungrateful. Such people are actually rare,” Ivy said, likely recalling Vanya’s words, she frowned.
“If Velda dares to come, we’ll have her escorted out. How can she have the nerve to face you? I’ve never seen anyone so shameless.”
I said, “Don’t tell Alpha Lance about this.”
“Got it. We definitely can’t let him know. Alpha Lance dislikes people from the Bloodmoon Pack the most,” Ivy replied.
Holding the clothes, I said, “Let’s not worry about them. Let’s find Cedric and have him try on the clothes.”
“His new clothes are piling up. The Thunder Wolf Pack has also sent many custom children’s outfits,” Ivy said.

“We’ll have him wear something new every day to make up for the two years he couldn’t have new clothes
before.”
Everyone was trying their best to make up for Cedric’s past, hoping he could forget those tragic memories.
At the mention of new clothes, Cedric was delighted. Kids always love new clothes.
