Third Person’s POV
In the middle of the night, Melinda woke up once. She opened her eyes and called out to Adelaide in a drowsy voice.
Adelaide, who had been holding her hand all along, squeezed her hand in response.
Galvin took the opportunity to give her medicine, which Melinda obediently drank.
Then, unable to keep her eyes open, she fell back asleep, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.
Adelaide wiped away her tears and whispered, “ It’s over. The worst is behind you. Things will get better .
Melinda, drained of all energy, was like a dried–up lake. She needed to take medicine three times to regain a little vitality.
She was just too exhausted. After taking the medicine, she fell into a deep sleep again.
Galvin had rested for a bit and came over to Adelaide, speaking softly, “Luna Adelaide, why don’t you get some rest? I’ll watch over her.”
“No, I’m not tired,” Adelaide replied with a shake of her head. “You’ve been working during the day. Go get some sleep. You’ll need to administer the medicine again in the early hours of the morning.”
“Alright,” Galvin said. “By the way, Alpha Howell has left, but Luna Skye is staying overnight at the Soulrend Pack, right next door in the adjacent room. She’s likely trying to prevent you from taking Melinda away.”
“She can’t stop me. I’ve made up my mind to take Melinda with me,” Adelaide said.
Earlier, after Lance left, he had approached the head of the Royal Elder Council,
The following morning, the head of the council spoke to Lycan Erasmus about the situation.
Lycan Erasmus was furious. He erased Dwight’s records from the Royal Talent Center, revoked his degree, and assigned the Ministry of Justice to handle the case.
With the case officially handed over to the ministry, dissolving the mating bond between Dwight and Melinda was no longer an issue.
The next day, as Adelaide was leaving with Melinda on her back, Alpha Howell and others from the Soulrend Pack tried to stop them. But they didn’t dare to be forceful, only attempting to persuade them to
stay.
It wasn’t until Lance arrived with a proclamation from Lycan Erasmus and read it aloud that the members of the Soulrend Pack grew anxious.
They feared that Lycan Erasmus might strip the pack of its lands in his rage.
Upon hearing that the proclamation only called for Dwight’s arrest, many breathed a sigh of relief .

As long as Alpha Manfred’s position remained secure, they were willing to let Dwight go
Only the old Luna fainted upon hearing the proclamation.
She had been trying to help Dwight escape the previous night, but Georgina and Paige were vigilant, foiling her plans.
Today, with the Ministry of Justice taking Dwight into custody, her efforts were in vain.
Dwight, trembling with fear, realized he was powerless.
His once arrogance and arrogance turned into groveling as he begged his family for help, showing no backbone.
Melinda, on Adelaide’s back, witnessed this scene and saw Dwight pleading with her.
She closed her eyes and whispered, “Adelaide, let’s go.”
No one dared to stop them. Adelaide carried Melinda, with Paisley and Paige leading the way.
As for Melinda’s personal belongings, she had decided to leave them behind, returning everything to her
parents.
As a royal member with her own lands, she could support herself.
Luna Skye chased after them to the entrance, tearfully shouting, “Melinda, I’m doing this for your own good. You’re not like Adelaide; you have no skills. How will you survive?”
Adelaide ignored her and proceeded to the carriage, taking Melinda to the Blackthorn Pack.
Lance ordered Dwight’s arrest and removal. Alpha Howell stepped forward, pleading, “Lance, show him mercy.”
His voice was pitched just right for the Soulrend Pack to overhear.
Lance glanced at him coolly, noticing many in the pack regarding Howell with gratitude.
He had been hiding his game really deep, huh?
Without a word, Lance left.
The incident at the Soulrend Pack drew a crowd, and it was only a matter of time before the entire capital knew of it.
Melinda remained frail, aware that she had lost the baby. She had known since Doctor Digby arrived that the child was gone.
She held back her tears in front of Adelaide but once they settled at the Blackthorn Pack and Adelaide. stepped out, Melinda cried uncontrollably.
Paisley wanted to comfort her, but Adelaide stopped her.
“No comfort will help. She needs to get through this on her own,” she said.

Some pains couldn’t be eased by words; they only unearthed more tears and heartache.
Wendy later informed them that Sadi and Maya had gone to the Ironclaw Pack.
Paisley relayed this to Adelaide, who paused, recalling Christine’s visit the previous day.
The day had been so long that Christine’s visit felt like a distant memory.
“Keep an eye on things within reason, but don’t go overboard or draw attention,” Adelaide said.
“Rest assured. They know their limits. Prunella trained them well,” Paisley replied.
