Chapter 482
Third Person’s POV
“Then put it to the test!”
Paisley said with a grin. She looked up at Sophia and asked, “What kind of coffee is this?”
Sophia put down the coffee cup and said, “This is the caramel macchiato brewed by Ivy today.”
“Perfect!” Paisley took the coffee and drank it while wiping her neck with the towel. Then she tossed the towel back onto the tray. “Alright, that’s enough. You may leave.”
After Sophia left, Paisley said, “I don’t like her.”
Adelaide laughed and said, “Don’t deny it, she’s quite useful. She’s from the palace, after all. Beata’s workload has been greatly reduced now.”
Paisley smiled and asked, “When do you plan to let Beata leave the pack? She should be looking for a mate.”
Adelaide sighed and said, “I was planning to find her a suitable mate after things settle down here for a while. I’ll miss her, but she’s my age and it’s time for her to start a family.”
“How about Avery?” Paisley raised an eyebrow.
“I’m afraid he might let Beata go hungry,” Adelaide replied.
Paisley snorted and said, “That’s true. He’s responsible for supporting the pack. How much money would actually end up in his mate’s hands?”
Speaking of which, Paisley sighed, “People like him are better off not getting mated. Do you remember? When he was a kid, he said he wanted to mate you. Then he got chased around by Georgina, who accused him of teasing you at such a young age.”
Adelaide laughed, but there was a hint of melancholy in her heart.
The Shadow Peaks and the capital were like a watershed, dividing her life into two parts.
Even now, returning to the Shadow Peaks, she could no longer revert to her former state of mind.
No sooner had they mentioned Beata and Georgina than Beata rushed in breathlessly.
“Luna Adelaide, Paisley, Georgina’s here. She says Melinda’s in labor,” Beata announced.
Adelaide stood up immediately and asked, “In labor? Is it her due date?”
“It’s around the time, but Georgina said there’s some danger. She wants to bring in Doctor Digby, but he’s not in the capital.”
“Huh? Where’s Georgina now?” Adelaide asked urgently.
Beata replied, “She just dropped by to inform us and headed back. I don’t know what’s happened , but she

looked furious.”
“Let’s go, right now,” Adelaide said.
Paisley took a deep breath and said, “She’s having a baby? I’m not ready for this. I’ve never seen a birth before.”
“Come on,” Adelaide said, pulling her arm. “It’s not like you’re the one giving birth. We’ll go and see what’s happening. Georgina’s so angry, there must be a problem.”
The two quickly went to get the car. By the time Beata had called for the driver, they were already gone.
Beata stamped her foot in frustration. “They didn’t take me again.”
Once inseparable from Adelaide, she was now left behind wherever Adelaide went.
Paisley drove quickly as usual, and soon they arrived at the Soulrend Pack.
Dwight was tied to a tree outside Melinda’s villa yard by Paige.
He was bruised and battered, with footprints all over him.
The former Luna of the Soulrend Pack arrived and, seeing Dwight’s miserable state, shouted anxiously, “Somebody , get him down from there.”
Paige stood coldly in front of them, whip in hand, and said, “I’d like to see who dares to untie him. If Melinda is fine, he’ll be fine too. If anything happens to Melinda, then he’ll be sent for punishment!”

think are? Are you fit to be the leader of the Soulrend Pack?” the former “How dare you! Who do Luna demanded. “Guards, seize her and throw her out!”
Paige cracked her whip loudly, intimidating everyone into staying back.
Luna Chloe came out from inside, sighed, and helped support the former Luna. “Let’s not worry about him now. Melinda’s in a bad way. Georgina’s already gone to fetch Doctor Digby. I think we should also invite Luna Skye over.”
“It’s her own fault,” the former Luna grumbled.
“Dwight finally came to his senses and wanted to reconcile with her, but she kept giving him cold looks. Knowing she’s pregnant, she still spews insults. Serves her right if she got hit.”
“You wretched woman,” Paige said coldly. “By doting on him like this, you’ll ruin him sooner or later.”
“You…” The former Luna’s face, turned livid. She had always been of high status; when had she ever been treated so disrespectfully?
Just as she was about to order Paige to be punished, a heart–wrenching scream came Adelaide, it hurts so much.”
The scream was so shrill that even the former Luna shuddered.

Her expression changed instantly. “Why is she screaming like that before childbirth? She’ll exhaust all her strength and won’t have any left for the delivery.”

Paige, hearing this, was furious. “Roll out of my way! I’ve put up with you for too long. I’ve respected your age , but it seems you don’t even understand basic decency. I’ve never sworn at an elder before, but fil make an exception for you today. I’d better not have to slap you. If you can’t control your tongue, il sew your mouth shut!”
Paige, known for her respect for the elderly and care for the young, had her limits. If her respect was met with overstepping, she wouldn’t hesitate to call it out.
The former Luna was so angry she rolled her eyes back. Luna Chloe quickly supported her and walked her inside, whispering, “Stop the fuss. It won’t look good when Luna Adelaide arrives and finds us quarreling like this.”
“I’m not afraid of her,” the former Luna retorted.
