Adelaide thought of Cyrus’s mate, Mrs. Voss, who was always helpful. Given Zelda’s cuteness and beauty, she made a call and arranged a visit.
Mrs. Voss readily agreed and asked Adelaide to wait for good news.
The next day, Mrs. Voss visited Adelaide and said with a smile, “Alger is interested in princess Zelda too. As soon as his mother asked him, he agreed without hesitation.”
Priscilla was still doubtful. “When did they take a liking to each other? They’ve only met once or twice. How can they be in love already?”
Mrs. Voss reassured her, “Alger is a considerate young man with no bad habits, just a bit playful. As long as he doesn’t go to nightclubs or casinos, it’s not a big issue.”
With Mrs. Voss’s words, Priscilla reluctantly agreed.
The mating between Zelda and Alger was set. Clarissa issued the mating order, and after praying to the Moon Goddess, the ceremony date was fixed.
When Lance returned to the Blackthorn Pack after work, Adelaide told him about Zelda and Alger’s mating.
Lance took off his cloak and handed it to Beata, then sat down for a cup of coffee. After a moment of thought, he said, “Alger is a typical rich kid who loves to play and eat. He and Zelda do have similar interests.”
“In a few days, the Wall family will likely send gifts. I plan to follow the normal mating ceremony process. I’ve asked Zelda, and she loves those ceremonies.”
“Let the ceremony be as she wishes. As her brother, I’ve faced many dangers on the battlefield to ensure she and our mother can live freely.”
He took Adelaide’s hand and sat down, his gaze gentle. “I wanted to say the same to you, but clearly, I have no right. With your father’s, brothers‘, and your own military honors, you can live a stable life.”
Adelaide smiled. “Hearing that from you makes me happy.”
His eyes flickered. “Really? Then let me say something true–when I first went to the southern border, my only thought was to come back and mate with you after reclaiming it.”
He gently pulled her to sit on his lap. Beata, seeing this, immediately left with the other omegas.
Adelaide rested on his shoulder. “You got your wish.”
“And you?” His voice was a little nervous. “Did marrying me fulfill your wish?”
Adelaide smiled, her chin lightly pressing on his shoulder. “Yes. I’m happy now . ”
His arms tightened suddenly, almost making it hard for her to breathe . “ Adelaide , with those words , I ask

After a while, Adelaide pushed him away and asked, “How’s the progress on Avery forming the wolf warrior
team?”
“It’s underway. Didn’t Avery tell you? Of the hundred–plus warriors who went to war with me, many are from the Blackthorn Pack. I plan to bring them back from the Royal Army. I need to inform Lycan Erasmus and Tad.”
“I saw the vacant lot under construction but haven’t seen any warriors move in yet.”
“Don’t worry about that. If you want to manage pack affairs, go ahead. If not, Ralph is doing a fine job. Caldwell has been busy with me at the Ministry of Justice and hasn’t had time for pack matters.”
Adelaide said, “I’m just taking a temporary break. Which Luna doesn’t manage her pack? I’ll hand over work to Ralph in a few days.”
“Understood. The pack has many newcomers, some of whom have been with me since the palace. Though young, they’re seasoned pack members. Ralph, who’s been with me for years, is reliable. You can manage the others as you see fit.”
“As for Priscilla, she loves to sleep in. Don’t greet her too early. Get more rest yourself.”
Adelaide laughed. “I took the initiative once, but now she comes to have breakfast with me. You’re out early and wouldn’t know.”
Lance was surprised. “Really?”
He knew Priscilla and Adelaide had grown close, but he didn’t expect Priscilla to take the initiative.
He smiled and said, “I didn’t anticipate you two getting along so well.”
“Neither did I.” Adelaide said with a smile.
Since Lance came home early today, he wanted to dine with everyone.
However, upon hearing this, Priscilla claimed to be unwell and had her meal served in her room.
Lance, thinking she was truly ill, was about to check on her when Adelaide stopped him. “She’s not sick. You’ve been busy lately, rarely greeting or speaking with her. Suddenly mentioning a family dinner made her think you were going to reprimand her.”
Lance was astonished. “Why would she think that? Have I ever criticized her? As her son, I have no right to speak to her like that.”
Adelaide pinched his cheeks. “If you didn’t wear such a stern expression around her, she wouldn’t feel lectured.”
Lance caught her hand, kissed her lips lightly, and said with a smile, “Can’t help it. I have natural authority.”
“You often smile at me. Smile at her more too.”
Lance nodded. “Alright, I’ll do as you say.”
