Third Person’s POV
Paisley also glanced at Eugene. Since she had initially thought Eugenius was Eugene, she paid him extra
attention.
Seeing him press his lips together, silent and with a heavy look in his eyes, she added, “Gloria married Ulrik from the Bloodmoon Pack. Since she’s already with someone else, I think you should just wish her well. Whether she’s happy or not depends on her own choices and abilities.”
Caldwell had said this, and Paisley agreed, but Eugene felt Gloria must not be doing well.
Given that he didn’t know the full story yet, he was consumed by guilt.
Paisley, noticing his expression, continued, “You shouldn’t feel guilty. Less than a month after your supposed sacrifice, she left the Hutchinson family. She took your pension with her, and your mother even gifted her two shops. If there’s any debt, the Hutchinsons‘ generosity has more than settled it .”
Eugene nodded gravely, “Thank you for telling me this.”
Paisley said, “Since ancient times, it’s been hard to balance family, country, and personal feelings. Now, the only ones you owe are your parents and family.”
Eugene nodded slightly, “I hope they’re all doing well.”
Lance approached and suggested, “Those who aren’t injured could head back to the capital first. Marsh’s condition seems stable.”
They all shook their heads. Although they were eager to return home, they had agreed to go back together, and no one wanted to leave before the others.
Back in the capital–
The morning after Adelaide left, Priscilla went to the palace.
Instead of going straight to Lycan Erasmus, she sought

Priscilla shared the news with her and sighed, “Zelda’s mating ceremony is approaching, but Adelaide’s

away on a trip. She left all the ceremony pl 25,
While sending someone to fetch Lycan Erasmus, Clarissa glared at her irritably, “So you come to the palace just to enjoy yourself? Zelda is your daughter. Shouldn’t you, as her mother, take care of her matters? You can’t rely on Adelaide for everything. Is she your servant?”
Clarissa said helplessly, “Count the wrinkles at the corners of your eyes. Still jealous of your son’s mate Careful you don’t sour your teeth.”
Priscilla quickly pulled down the corners of her eyes with her fingers and argued, “No wrinkles here. My skin care’s top–notch.”

Clarissa looked at her and finally smiled affectionately. “Go check on Pandora. She’s been ill for days . When Lycan Erasmus arrives, don’t stay here.
Priscilla stood up and said, “I’ll take my leave then.”
Shortly after Priscilla left, Lycan Erasmus arrived.
After greeting him, Clarissa handed him the communicator, “Adelaide left the capital last night. She specifically asked Priscilla to deliver this news to you.”
Lycan Erasmus read the message and smiled, “She left the capital in the middle of the night; it must have been urgent. She didn’t need to inform me of everything.
Clarissa said, “A female wolf leaving in the dead of night with a deputy commander’s certificate, of course you need to know.”
Lycan Erasmus acknowledged with a slight bow, a hint of worry flashing across his face, I hope Marsh returns safely.”
It turned out Eugenius was him, and the Hornbeam Pack had a powerful background. Although most of the family’s younger generations had gone into politics, there were always one or two who carried on the legacy of werewolf generals‘ dignity and tenacity.
Clarissa looked at him, wanting to say something but swallowing her words.
Some things, if said, might only increase her son’s suspicions.
Tad’s report arrived at the Royal Elder Council’s office, stating that Alpha Lance had disappeared in Frostbite Town after arriving there.
Cyrus suppressed the report. He was well aware that Alpha Lance hadn’t gone to Frostbite Town for negotiations but for a rescue mission.
A few days later, Tad’s second report came in.
After reading it, Cyrus was thrilled and immediately sought an audience with Lycan Erasmus.
Lycan Erasmus, upon reading the report, was equally excited. “Eleven people, actually eleven! They’ve all returned safely to Frostbite Town!”
Cyrus’s voice choked with emotion, “Yes, thanks to you, Lycan Erasmus, they’re all back in Frostbite Town.”
“Reward them! Give them a generous reward!”
Overjoyed, Lycan Erasmus promptly issued orders: “Fabian, have the Minister of Culture come to me. Let them prepare a ceremony to welcome the heroes home, and the Minister of Personnel too….”
As Lycan Erasmus was issuing orders, he suddenly paused, looking down at the list. “Chandler, Derric these are Minister Garrett Rog’s two sons. ”
Cyrus said, “Lycan Erasmus, we should notify their families door to door first, let everyone rejoice. They won’t return to the capital so soon. Marsh is badly hurt; it might take some time.”
Lycan Erasmus looked at a name on the report and raised his head to Cyrus, “Eugene, Eugene’s mate

remarried Ulrik, right?”

Cyrus recalled the matter and replied, “Yes, it’s Gloria. She and Ulrik from the Bloodmoon Pack are both in their second mating.”
