Third Person’s POV
“I think Lycan Erasmus might send you to the Bloodscar Border or put you in charge of the royal troops in the capital. But he’s also watching you all to see where you fit best,” Lance said.
“But Alpha Zander’s already at the Bloodscar Border,” Eugene said.
“There are things…”
Lance started to say but stopped himself. “I won’t say more, but stop investigating the Bloodmoon Pack . I know what’s going on. Also, your Eugenius Scout Team shouldn’t be too close to me. I invited you here today for personal reasons. In the future, if there’s anything, maybe Paisley will pass on messages to you?
Eugene was confused at first.
The Eugenius Scout Team was
saved by Lance. Why couldn’t they be close to him now?
But then he figured it out. Lycan Erasmus had just become Lycan King.
His power wasn’t secure yet. Naturally, he would be wary of Lance, his younger brother .
“Got it. I’ll wait for the assignment,” Eugene said with a nod.
He gave Lance a meaningful look, holding back the words that the Eugenius Scout Team would always be part of the Alpha Bentley Legion.
And every member of the Alpha Bentley Legion was loyal to both Lycan Erasmus and Alpha Bentley.
Lance, the former commander of the Alpha Bentley Legion, had led the Royal Army and the Alpha Bentley Legion to reclaim the southern border, a remarkable achievement.
When Caldwell arrived, he quickly came up
with a reason.
He suggested that Lance could say he had talked to Eugene, but since the royal appointment for Eugene hadn’t been decided, Eugene himself didn’t know where he would be sent.
Abigail was Doug’s prized granddaughter. If she mated Eugene, she would have to follow him to the border. It might be years before she could return to the capital.
Abigail was extremely filial. How could she bear to leave her family and go to the border to endure hardship?
Everyone agreed that this was a great excuse.
Abigail was very devoted to her grandparents, who were old. She would never leave the c them.

Since Lance had to go back to the Ministry of Justice the next day to handle matters, Adelaide and Paisley went to Doug’s house instead
Abigail came out to meet the guests. She was wearing a goose–yellow round–necked blouse and a matching

pleated skirt.
The skirt was embroidered with many butterflies in silver thread. As she walked, the silver thread shimmered, as if butterflies were dancing on the skirt.
“Luna Adelaide!” She curtsied gracefully.
“Abigail,” Adelaide smiled at her and glanced at Paisley.
Paisley’s eyes lit up with appreciation for Abigail.
Her demeanor was so elegant and poised. Compared to Gloria, who was like a madwoman, Abigail was in a different league.
Abigail’s parents were also present. The loving couple had raised such a gentle and refined daughter.
Adelaide said, “Since we’re all here, I’ll get straight to the point. Yesterday we had Eugene over. He said the royal appointment hasn’t been decided. He might be sent to guard the border. He knows how filial Abigail is. If she were to follow him to the border, she would suffer and be far from her family, unable to fulfill her filial duties. He would feel guilty.”
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Abigail also stayed silent.
She wanted to mate with Eugene, but she couldn’t bear to leave her grandparents and parents for years.
After a moment of silence, her eyes welled up with tears. “So that’s why.”
Seeing Abigail like this, Adelaide thought she would give up and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
This matter might not be so difficult to handle after all.
Abigail looked at Adelaide and said, “Please tell Eugene that I’ve weighed this matter and now I’m no longer worthy of him.”
Adelaide was taken aback for a moment.
Did Abigail mean to find a respectable excuse, or was that really what she meant?
Adelaide said, “Abigail, when it comes to mating, you have to weigh many factors. It’s not about who’s worthy of whom, but about compatibility.”
Abigail said softly, “You’re right, but…”
She looked up at Adelaide, her eyes brimming with tears. “I genuinely wanted to mate him, and my reluctance to leave my family is also genuine. There’s no perfect solution in this world. Since I chose my family, I dare not speak of my admiration for him anymore. I only hope he can be ha
nd safe.”
Adelaide was stunned. Something seemed to flicker in her heart, but she couldn’t grasp
She just felt a slight ache in her heart. “But anyone would choose their family in this situation,” she said.
Paisley glanced at her but said nothing.

Actually, it wasn’t always the case. Some she–wolves would rush in like moths to a flame, without considering their family at all, like her cousin, Sadi.

Mrs. Watson sighed and her eyes turned red too. “If you want to pursue your happiness, go ahead. As long as you can bear the hardship of the border and don’t regret your choice, I support you.”
Abigail shook her head, her eyes red, and smiled at her grandmother. “No, I’m staying with you and Grandpa. I’m not going anywhere.”
