“It’s you! You’ve caused the discord between us! He won’t even touch me now! If it weren’t for you stopping the rescue mission, I wouldn’t have suffered like this! Did you collude with Solanke? Are you framing me together? They never touched me! You tell Ulrik the truth!” Velda’s voice trembled with panic and fury, her pheromones reeking of sulfur–a telltale sign of extreme agitation.
“Adelaide, they say you’re a hero, but you stood by and did nothing! You’re unfit to be a werewolf general! You let us fall into Solanke’s hands as prisoners! You let us endure torture and humiliation!”
Velda’s accusations quivered as she tried to mask her fear with defiance.
Adelaide’s gaze sharpened, her cedar pheromones hinting at her forced calm.
Still gripping Velda’s collar, she turned to Beata and said, “Watch Cedric and ensure he doesn’t leave the house.”
Her voice carried an undeniable aura.
Beata, who had been glaring at Velda, immediately complied. “Yes, right away.”
She sprinted off toward Cedric’s yard.
Her wolf growled approvingly in Adelaide’s mind.
Velda, unnerved by Adelaide’s intense stare, snapped, “What do you want to do?”
Adelaide hauled her up and dragged her outside despite the howling wind.
Velda’s hair flew wildly as Adelaide’s grip remained unshakable.
Adelaide’s wolf rumbled deep in her mind. “Let her feel our fury.”
“Where are you taking me? Are you going to kill me?” Velda screeched, her voice swallowed by the north wind.
Snowflakes finally began to swirl downward, settling on Adelaide’s shoulders.
The gloomy sky promised a heavy snowfall.
Adelaide dragged her toward the altar.
Beta Valentin instantly grasped her intent and hurried to clear the area around the altar.
Once there, Adelaide tossed Velda inside and followed.
Valentin swiftly exited, leaving Velda on the altar’s floor. She panicked, looking around at the moonstone lamps illuminating rows of wolf–head statues on the walls.
