Third Person’s POV
“Velda demanded a hefty compensation that the Bloodmoon Pack couldn’t afford. When you turned to Alpha Adelaide for a loan and she refused to give the funds outright, you labeled her heartless.”
“In desperation, you accused her of mismanaging the pack and not producing an heir, plotting to exile her. Your scheme was to prevent her from reclaiming Frostfang assets – a cruel and ruthless plan.”
“ Is our Alpha unfilial? Since joining the Bloodmoon Pack, she’s tended to your illness daily. Unable to bear heirs? Ridiculous! After the bonding ceremony, Ulrik left for war and immediately sought to bond with Velda upon return. He never really marked Alpha Adelaide. How could she have produced pack pups?”
At Beta Valentin and Omega Ivy’s revelations, the crowd erupted.
“So Alpha Adelaide never fully completed the bonding ritual?”
“The Bloodmoon Pack is outrageous. Ulrik sought a new mate and then schemed to seize Adelaide’s Frostfang assets.”
“Having such a mate is sheer bad luck.”
“Elder Halsey’s family is upright, and Gamma Adelaide has earned military honors at the Southern Border. She’s not heartless . ”
“I recall Elder Halsey was furious during the mate contact, accusing the Bloodmoon Pack of outrageous behavior.”
“Speaking of Doctor Digby, I remember seeing Tamara from the Bloodmoon Pack kneeling before his door last year, begging for medicine. Digby’s subordinate told me he refused because Luna Rosemary’s conduct was flawed.”
“They cast Adelaide out like trash, yet Lycan Erasmus restored her Alpha status and allowed her to nominate representatives to the Royal Elder Council. The Bloodmoon Pack must regret it now.”
“Of course they do. If I were them, I’d be so filled with regret. How dare they try to reconcile?”
“The Frostfang Beta and Omega refute logically. Meanwhile, Luna Rosemary wails as if deeply wronged. But isn’t this all because Ulrik wanted Velda as his mate? ”
“Speaking of Velda, have you heard? She was reckless on the battlefield, captured by the enemy, and found half–naked with a pool of blood beneath her.”
“I’ve heard that, too! It’s said those captured with her had their glands severed. They can’t be warriors now.”
“ Silence, all of you!”
Rosemary, furious and dizzy, waved a trembling finger at the crowd. “This is all slander! Stop at once ! ”
Her hysterical outburst only confirmed the rumors, prompting even more chatter .

Some openly retorted, questioning her audacity to cause a scene at the Frostfang Pack.
Rosemary’s frosted wolf howls, laced with sulfur pheromones, clashed with the crowd’s roars.

Sabrina’s moonstone earrings fell in the chaos as she noticed the surrounding werewolves‘ disdain. Panicking at her unmarked state, she clutched her neck gland–determined not to become another Velda.
Tamara cowered behind a stone pillar, her nails digging into her wolf–branded palm, grateful as Simon’s mate to stay above the fray.
Simon, unable to comment, finally persuaded his mother to leave as the situation spiraled, “Let’s go, mother. Truth will out.”
Beta Valentin declared, “Truth prevails. Evil cannot withstand the light. Leave now. Alpha Adelaide seeks no further ties with the Bloodmoon Pack, and past grievances are forgiven.”
He bowed to the crowd, “Thank you for your justice. Everyone here is fair–minded. Right and wrong are clear. Alpha Adelaide’s mistaken mate choice was fate, and we accept it. But we want nothing more to do with the Bloodmoon Pack. If they cause trouble again, we’re ready. They can’t distort the truth.”
Flattered by Valentin’s words, the crowd’s sense of justice was ignited, and they joined in denouncing the Bloodmoon Pack.
Seeing her attempt at moral coercion fail and Alpha Adelaide not appearing, Luna Rosemary knew she wouldn’t achieve her goal today and left dejectedly.
She had hoped to reconcile with Adelaide, but Ulrik refused.
With too many rumors about Velda circulating, she aimed to shift public outrage and rehabilitate the Bloodmoon Pack’s image.
She thought her outburst would force Adelaide into a confrontation, dragging her into scandal.
If the Frostfang Pack acted against her, they’d lose public support.
But the Frostfang Pack’s logical rebuttal and threat of witnesses left her claims baseless.
With no choice, she left.
