Madison said thoughtfully, “In short, we’ll do our best to keep the Blackthorn Pack in turmoil. Ideally , we want Lance to be so preoccupied with internal pack matters that he has no time for anything else, just like Ulrik with the Bloodmoon Pack.”
Wanda agreed, though she wondered why the focus was on the Blackthorn Pack. But if her mother had her reasons, she’d follow suit.
Back home, Sabrina went to her room, sat in front of the dressing table, and gazed at her reflection.
Her round checks made her look plump and likable.
“Miss, you’ve been checking your appearance since you came back. Is your makeup too light? Shall I redo your hair and put on some jewelry for you?” the servant asked.
“Do I look good?” Sabrina asked, stroking her fair and elastic skin.
“Of course, miss,” the servant replied.
“How about compared to Adelaide?” Sabrina pressed.
The servant hesitated, then said with a smile, “You’re more lively and radiant.”
Sabrina beamed. “Find the jewelry Adelaide gave me from the box… No, forget it.”
Anyway, Wanda would provide her with everything. She couldn’t show up at the party too shabbily. How else would she attract Alpha Lance?
“Miss, are you in a good mood?” the servant inquired.
Sabrina was brimming with joy and anticipatión but held back from telling the servant, remembering Wanda’s warning.
But keeping such exciting news bottled up for days was tough. She got up and headed to her mother’s
room.
She sent the omega attendants away, leaving only the two of them.
Rosemary was in low spirits, lying in bed listlessly for days.
Though bathed daily, she still had a noticeable odor.
Sabrina sat a bit away and forced down her excitement. “Mother, the Blackthorn Pack is throwing a birthday party for Priscilla next month. Wanda said she’ll take me.”
Rosemary snapped, “Her party is her business. Why should you attend? You didn’t get an invitation. Haven’t you seen what happened to Ulrik because of her? And you still want to support her?”
“Mother!” Sabrina’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “Wanda is taking me. She promised to help me become Alpha Lance’s breeder at the birthday party.”

Rosemary’s dull eyes suddenly lit up, and she struggled to sit up. “Is this true?”
“Absolutely. Wanda told me herself, with Madison right there.”

Rosemary felt a surge of energy. “If this works, Madison and Wanda will be our greatest benefactors.”
But then she frowned. “Why would they help you? What’s their angle? Don’t get carried away. Let me think.”
Sabrina stood up and stamped her foot. “Mother, regardless of their motives, as long as I can become the Blackthorn Pack Alpha’s breeder, I’m willing. Even if I’m below Adelaide, I’m younger and more vibrant than her.”
She quickly sat down again. “Besides, Madison might just dislike Adelaide and wants to cause her distress by getting me into the pack. Even if they have some scheme, once I’m a breeder , I’ll do whatever I can to help them–a breeder can’t really accomplish much anyway.”
Rosemary found this logic sound. Yet she couldn’t shake the feeling that Madison’s birthday party incident hinted at something more complex.
“You see, with Ulrik stripped of his position, Father and Simon have no hope for advancement. Velda constantly opposes you. Gloria, though backed by the Ironclaw Pack, can only use her personal wealth to support the Bloodmoon Pack—she can’t truly aid us.”
Rosemary mulled it over and acknowledged the truth. Could they rely on Wilmot? He hadn’t even obtained a university degree. How could they restore the Bloodmoon Pack’s reputation like this?
Though skeptical of Madison and Wanda’s intentions, if Sabrina could become Alpha Lance’s breeder, they could secure her status first. Other costs could be addressed later.
She exhaled. “Have you clarified the plan with them?”
Sabrina recounted Wanda’s scheme to Rosemary.
After careful consideration, Rosemary deemed the plan simple yet effective. If Lance held Sabrina in front of guests, he’d have to take responsibility to avoid damaging his reputation.
The only concern was that even if Lance made Sabrina his breeder, she might feel manipulated and thus unloved, rendering the breeder title meaningless.
But then she thought, “What’s the harm in a meaningless title? Alpha Lance was highly influential, in charge of the Ironclaw Army and the Ministry of Justice. As his breeder, regardless of his affection, the alone would open doors. It would help her family network and climb the social ladder.”
Nodding slowly, she said, “Adapt as circumstances require.”
She suddenly remembered something. “Adelaide and Vanya are close. I wonder if they’ll invite her. You should check.”
“Wanda said it’s a secret. She didn’t even want me to tell you, fearing leaks from your attendants . ”
“I’m not asking you to tell her. I just want to know if Vanya is invited.”
“ Shall I ask? ”

“Send Tamara to ask. Be tactful. Just say you’re curious.”
