Third Person’s POV
They didn’t see Adelaide but heard the future store owner’s voice from a private room, filled with amazement, “These pink diamonds are the finest I’ve ever seen. Each one sparkles without a flaw–top notch gems. Luna Adelaide, are you really using over twenty of them for a crown?”
Adelaide’s voice carried a smile, warm like melting snow, “Yes, also a tiara, hair tassel, diamond hairpins . earrings, and a pink diamond–inlaid gold bracelet. As for the royal touch, I’m sure you’ll have great ideas
“Certainly, I’ll ensure Luna Adelaide and Princess Zelda are satisfied”
“Zelda, pick anything else, it’s all yours,” Adelaide said with a warm, spring–thaw pheromone aura.
The voices reached Rosemary and Sabrina like icicles piercing their senses. Adelaide’s pheromones were clear–bearing the Alpha aura of the Frostfang Pack, yet gentle enough to suffocate them.
Her generosity here was on a whole new level compared to what they’d seen in the Bloodmoon Pack
And the pink diamonds were her wedding gift. She was using her own wedding present to craft maring jewelry for the princess.
“Ladies, this way!”
A store attendant greeted them cheerfully. “We’ve just received new court–style hair accessories and some exquisite sapphire pendants.”
In a private room, Sabrina glanced at the hair accessories and her eyes narrowed sharply. Her silver– grey wolf hairs bristled.
The rubies on the hairpiece blazed like fire, captivating her gaze.
She reached out abruptly, her wolf claws flickering before retracting, and declared loudly, “I’ll take this ruby crown and side hair chain. Pack it up!”
She aimed to announce to Adelaide that she too was making a purchase here. Her sulfuric pheromones crackled in the air like sparks.
Gloria’s heart raced–was Sabrina insane? Didn’t she even ask the price?
Her nape gland throbbed with pain and fury, her suppressed dominance making the crystal chandelier in the private room tremble.
The attendant smiled and said, “Certainly, madam. Please, have a seat and enjoy some refreshments while I package it for you.”
He didn’t mention the price first as third–floor clients typically didn’t ask–not until the item was packaged.
Rosemary’s brow furrowed at the ruby headpiece.
She knew such a piece couldn’t be cheap.

The rubies‘ quality was unparalleled.
She glanced at Gloria and softly said, “If she wants it, let’s buy it. What do you think?
Gloria forced a laugh. Did she have a choice?
The attendant had already begun packaging the item in an exquisite walnut box inlaid with tortoiseshell and adorned with a row of tiny gems, the edges carved with vine patterns.
Such packaging signaled the item’s steep price.
Sure enough, after skillfully wrapping the piece, the attendant handed the box to Sabrina and asked, “Madam, would you like to purchase anything else today?” His smile never wavered.
Seeing Sabrina’s gaze shift to another silver tray, Gloría quickly stepped forward and said, “That’s all, thank you.”
The attendant smiled and replied, “Certainly, madam. This Rose Gold and Ruby Hair Ornament Set will be thirty–six million eight hundred thousand dollars.”
Rosemary gasped in shock, “What? Thirty–six million eight hundred thousand dollars for a hair ornament set?”
The attendant was taken aback, and people from other private rooms poked their heads out, their eyes wide with surprise.
Rosemary quickly covered half her face with a fan, turning to Gloria for help.
Sabrina, clutching the box, looked to Gloria with a sweet smile.
She hadn’t expected it to be this expensive. The gemstone–studded jewelry and bracelets Adelaide had gifted her before were worth a few hundred thousand at most, with the priciest barely reaching a million dollars.
She’d assumed this hair ornament set, no matter how costly, would top out at a few million.
Gloria had mentioned a one–million–dollar limit for jewelry today, but Sabrina, considering her impending entry into the Glenveil Pack–a centuries–old prestigious family figured spending a few million was justifiable.
To her shock, the price neared forty million dollars.
Yet she knew Gloria could afford it. Between the compensation from her late partner and additional funds from the Ironclaw Pack, she’d manage to cover the cost.
So Sabrina immediately hugged the jewelry box close and looked to Gloria.
She said sweetly, “Luna Gloria, thanks for the gift.”
Gloria stared at her, stunned and furious.
She’d expected Sabrina to back down after hearing the price, but instead, Sabrina had snatched the box from the attendant and thanked her for the gift.

“Luna Gloria, you said you wanted this one, so I didn’t pick anything else? Sabrina sad incerty o up at her with a mix of obedience and pleading.
Gloria glanced at Rosemary, who nodded. “You did say you wanted it. If that’s your decision m
it.”
