Third Person’s POV
Adelaide's whip snapped to the side, rulling the wolf warriors’ fur.
They caught the dual scent in her pheromones-the cedar of the Frostfang Pack and the fir of the Ironthorn
soldiers, resonating in her blood.
When Wanda snarled, the fresh rash on her neck flared up.

“Odd,” Adelaide mused, tapping the ledger with her wolf claws, “We're just here to reconcile accounts. Why all
the fuss?”
“Did you embezzle the dividends, Wanda?” she asked.
Her pheromones pressed down, souring Wanda’s instantly.
“You're lying!” Wanda snapped, all bluster but reeking of guil
As servants lifted the boxes, Adelaide caught the distant howl.
“Let's hope you're not lying. Since you won't check, Priscilla and | will visit the Glenveil Pack.”
She barred the wolf warriors with her whip and ordered the omegas, “Load the ledgers-we’re heading to
Glenveil.”
The warriors didn’t dare stop them. Shielded by Adelaide, the omegas carried the chests out.
Ignoring Madison's livid face, Adelaide waved Priscilla over. “No justice here. Let's find a place that speaks
reason.”
Priscilla trotted to her side, and Adelaide took her hand, whip in the other, ready to leave.
“Stop!” Madison’s musk surged as her claws dug into the seat.
Adelaide laughed lightly. “Planning to attack us with five hundred warriors? If you win, it's assaulting royalty. If
you lose... tsk, embarrassing.”
Adelaide's presence was undeniable.

Madison loathed Adelaide's grin-it mirrored her mother’s,
Both were schemers.
Adelaide's smile never wavered. We cto reconcile accounts. Why the ? Madison, is there something to
hide? Once we're at Glenveil, Priscilla should throw a party and invite everyone to discuss this.”
Wanda snarled, “You're the one lying! What hidden agenda? Didn't | send Priscilla the ledgers?”

“Odd.” Adelaide mused, tapping the ledger with her wolf claws, the accounts you sent to the palace don’t match
those | found at the store”
“The ledgers you sent show losses. The ones | found at the store show profits. Care to explain the discrepancy?”
Adelaide's voice sharpened.
Wanda fumed. “Why raise your voice? This is my mother’s estate, not yours or the Blackthorn Pack’s.”
Adelaide's gaze turned icy. “Madison’s estate or not, we're here for accountability. If not, let's leave.” With that,
she began to lead Priscilla away.
Madison smashed a cup to the floor, her voice cutting through the silence. “Reconcile accounts? Fine, let's!”
Wanda turned to her mother, voice urgent.
Madison's eyes flashed. “Bring all financial staff here. | want to see how Johnson embezzled.”
Adelaide smiled faintly. “Clever move, Madison. If Johnson's guilty, he'll face the judiciary.”
Madison glared at her, icy resolve in her eyes..
She knew once Johnson reached the judiciary, he'd confess everything.
It was no use trying to pin the blon him.
Johnson was Wanda'’s servant from the Glenveil Pack. After a misconduct, the Luna of Glenveil transferred him to
the manor.
Wanda had spotted his cunning and promoted him to manager of the Golden Jewelry Store.
Essentially, Johnson was still tied to Glenveil. If Adelaide dragged this to Glenveil, it would harm both their
reputations.
The scandal of Wanda gifting the wolf-head statue to the Frostfang Pack’s Airela had already tarnished Madison's
name. She'd hoped to lie low for a couple of years, letting people forget before making new plans.
That's why even when Adelaide and Priscilla cfor diamonds and money, she'd given in to avoid a
scene.
Now, this wasn’t just about money. If exposed, it would be fraud against the New Moon Priestess.
Wanda, as Madison’s daughter, might avoid court but would face public backlash.
Glenveil Pack would jump at the chance to expel her, and being a thief would give them the perfect
excuse.
But she wouldn't return the money.

Madison and Wanda huddled with hot water bottles, but Adelaide and Priscilla had none.
Adelaide was fine, but Priscilla shivered uncontrollably in the freezing cold.
