Third Person’s POV
Everyone waited for her to continue, but she suddenly asked for coffee, leaving everyone stunned.
Beata quickly brewed a full pot and poured a cup for Georgina.
Georgina drained it and said. “Melinda’s been waiting for him. So when he came, we didn’t stop figured their problem should be sorted out between them.”

“At least before the baby’s born, we hoped Melinda could be in better spirits and not cry alone at night”
Adelaide immediately tensed. “Did he go in and yell at Melinda?”
“Yell? If it were just yelling, I wouldn’t have acted. He pushed Melinda, slamming her stomach into a table corner. She was in so much pain, drenched in cold sweat. That’s when I stepped in and hit him,” Georgina said..
“Did he actually push Melinda? How is she now?” Adelaide pressed.
“The pack doctor checked her. The pregnancy’s been disturbed; she needs to stay in bed for a month.” Georgina said after sipping more coffee.
“Since Melinda kept crying out for her ‘mom, I went to the Silverlight Pack first, hoping her parents could come see her,” Georgina added, pausing dramatically and causing everyone to grow anxious.
Adelaide couldn’t help but ask again, “Did they come?”
“Nope!” Georgina downed another cup of water. “I’m so thirsty today, running around everywhere without a drop to drink. Luna Skye wanted to go, but Alpha Howell said if they went now, they’d have to consider whether to hold Melinda’s mate accountable. They’re also waiting to see Alpha Manfred’s stance.”
“They just kept deliberating. Finally, they decided that since the doctor said bed rest would be fine, they’d
unrelated to today’s visit another day, avoiding today’s spotlight. They can go in a few days and cla incident, Georgina explained.
“Ridiculous!” an angry voice blurted from outside.
Priscilla and Susan entered, Priscilla fuming.
“Their own daughter is being bullied, and her parents won’t stand up for her? Are they afraid of offending the Soulrend Pack? What kind of logic is that? Is Dwight made of gold?”
Georgina rose and greeted Priscilla
Priscilla demanded, “Are they just letting it slide? What are they so afraid of?”
Alpha Howell
if they make a fuss now, Melinda’s life will be harder, and the pregnancy might even
be at risk. Georgina replied.
“Her life is already miserable. What about the future?”

Priscilla huffed, fully embracing her maternal instincts.
If Alger had bullied her daughter like this, she’d have Adelaide intervene immediately, no holds barred.
“They plan to visit in a few days,” Georgina said.
“In a few days? When all the anger’s died down? Are they expecting a happy family reunion then?” Priscilla snapped. “Adelaide, you should go!” she urged.
Susan quickly objected. “That’s not right. Adelaide isn’t Melinda’s parent. Melinda has her own parents. If they don’t act and Adelaide does, it’ll look like the Blackthorn Pack is bullying them.”
“If he can bully her this badly, why should we fear bullying him back?” Priscilla retorted.
Lance, seeing his mother’s fiery determination, said, “Speaking of bullying… I think you’re the best person for this, Mom.”
Priscilla was taken aback. “Me? What’s my excuse? I’m not suitable to go.”
Lance reminded her, “Melinda’s my cousin. You can visit her on Clarissa’s behalf, check up on the pregnant Melinda, and conveniently ‘discover’ the situation. Then you can blow up. Who can doubt your authority?”
“And let’s not forget your seniority,” he added.
Priscilla realized Alpha Howell and the old Lycan King were brothers. Alpha Howell used to address her as the “New Moon Priestess.”
That made her a senior to Melinda. If seniors don’t step in at a time like this, who will?
‘T’ll go!” she declared.
Without a moment’s delay, she ordered the carriage prepared and brought Georgina and Paisley along- Paisley, of course, was all for the spectacle.
Adelaide pulled Paisley aside and whispered a few instructions, urging her during the carriage ride.
ep Priscilla well–informed
Sophia, always hovering around Priscilla, tried to follow, but Adelaide stopped her.
My quarters need help. You can assist me for now.”
Sophia lowered her eyes and agreed, “Of course,” though she hesitated, wondering if Adelaide had seen through her.
Yet, seeing Adelaide’s warm smile, she ventured, “Luna Adelaide, I heard Beata usually does your hair. If L take over, would that unsettle Beata?
Adelaide assured her. “Beata’s goy other tasks. There’s no issue of overshadowing here. Don’t worry
Relieved, Sophia said. “Alright, as long as Priscilla agrees, I’ll attend to you, Luna Adelaide.”
She stole a glance at Lance, but his indifferent expression gave no hint of suspicion.
