Third Person’s POV
Eugene arrived soon after.
He was a man of action and efliciency, never one to procrastinate.
But he didn’t expect that Lance had called him here to discuss his second mating.
He had no intention of entering a second mating so soon, wanting to settle things first.
He told them his honest intentions without reserve, aiming to make Gloria give up on him.
Paisley spoke up, “As long as you’re not mated, she won’t truly give up.”
Eugene replied, “That’s true. But she’s already come to the Hutchinsons, and I’ve had the maids relay my stance. She should get the message and stop harassing me. So I can put my matters on hold for now . ”
“By the way, she caused a scene at the Blackthorn Pack, thinking I was the one who spread the news ,” Adelaide said.
Eugene froze. “Why would she think you did it?”
Adelaide laid out the whole story.
After listening, Eugene’s brow never eased. After a long pause, he said, “I can’t believe she’s sunk so low. She’s pregnant. Even if not for herself, she should think about the child.”
“Let’s not talk about her anymore,” someone said.
Paisley turned to Eugene. “Abigail is a great woman, worth your consideration. You can’t stay single forever. Sibyl is eager for you to have your own pups.”
Eugene smiled at Paisley. “My love life is none of your concern. Do I not know Abigail’s virtues? But precisely because she’s so wonderful, I feel unworthy of her.”
Adelaide chimed in. “Whether you’re worthy is up to her to decide, not others. But I wonder if her interest is a passing fancy or genuine intent to marry you. If it’s the latter, would you truly not consider it?”
Eugene said, “Actually, Mr. Watson had someone reach out. Sibyl was overjoyed, itching to set the mating ceremony date right then and there. I was the one who put a stop to it.”
Paisley could picture the scene and snorted. “Anyone would react like Sibyl.”
Lance stayed quiet, thinking that mating should be with the person you truly desire.
Like himself, after learning Adelaide was mated, he never considered mating anyone else.
Such matters couldn’t be forced.
He spoke up, a hint of impatience in his voice. “Why not find a better excuse for Doug ? He also said Abigail isn’t the type to be pushy,”

Eugene let out a wry smile. “I was the one who spread the news about seeking a mate . Now I cant backtrack by saying I faked it just to make Gloria back off, with no real intention of mating . That would make me seem dishonest.”
Paisley asked, “But would you consider Abigail if you were genuinely looking for a mate?”
“How could I be worthy of her?”
Eugene repeated, adding, “Besides, I don’t even know her. All I know is she’s famous, probably a decade or so younger than me, and this wouldn’t be my first mating.”
“But she’s willing,” Paisley said.
Eugene laughed. “Truly willing? It’s just a girl’s hero complex. She’ll get over it. For now, as Alpha Lance said, we need a good excuse to decline gracefully without embarrassing Abigail. Paisley, you’re full of ideas. Help me out.”
Paisley said, “I won’t help you rejecting others. Like Sibyl, I want you to settle down and have pups, so Gloria will stop pestering you.”
“You’re always saying you won’t marry, yet you’re pushing me to do so,” Eugene said with a huff.
“People say mating is the only way for women, but I don’t believe that,” Paisley said, looking at Adelaide. with a smile.
“Anyway, if I don’t mate anyone, Adelaide will take care of me forever.”
Lance gazed outside. The sun was setting, and he knew he wasn’t going out today.
He glanced at Adelaide, who was listening intently to their conversation as if she was particularly interested in other people’s marital affairs.
He wished she would show the same concern for her own mate, who was feeling quite frustrated.
Finally, Eugene said,”Actually, there are many she–wolves who say they want to mate with me now, but they’ll change their minds in a few days. Just wait and see. As for Doug, Alpha Lance can reply for me. You decide how to phrase it.”
With a poker face, Lance called out,“Send Caldwell over.”
Lance couldn’t handle Doug. He wasn’t good at lying. These scheming tasks were better left to someone skilled.
Eugene didn’t seem to care much about the matter but wanted to discuss something else with Lance privately in the study.
“While investigating the assassination attempt on the Bloodmoon Pack, I found that the intruders were targeting Velda…”
Lance raised a hand to cut him off.“I’m aware of all this. Drop the investigation and just wait for Lycan Erasmus’s appointment.”
Eugene frowned.” But once we’re back in the capital, we’ll have nothing to do. With the appointment delayed, we’ll be idle, and that’s a waste of time.”
