Third Person’s POV
Dominic roared. “I might have let you off, but now, I’d flay you alive and it’d still not quench my ragel
Some werewolves from the Western Tribes left their original pack and became rogues.
They lived in Adelaide and Velda’s wolf kingdom, gathering and sending information back to the Western Tribes.
These spies were managed by Dominic’s brother.
After Velda tortured Dominic’s brother at Bloodscar Border, these spies breached the Frostfang Pack’s defenses, slaughtered them.
This not only damaged Dominic’s brother’s reputation but also destroyed their entire intelligence network, causing severe losses.
Alpha Bentley, a revered werewolf general, saw all his male kin die heroically on the southern border.
His pack suffered worse–his sons‘ mates, pups, and even Omegas
all killed by the Western Tribes.
These atrocities, kept secret due to Velda’s massacres, made the Western Tribes‘ royal family ashamed. Velda, the cause of these tragedies, and the Western Tribes‘ spies were both guilty of heinous crimes.
The Frostfang Pack were the sole victims.
Now, only Adelaide, the female Gamma Velda mentioned, remains of the Davidson family.
Ironically, Velda replaced Adelaide as Ulrik’s mate.
While the Western Tribes weren’t directly linked to these events, they were connected to the Bentley pack’s massacre and Adelaide’s abandonment.
This was why Dominic was so furious.
The Western Tribes weren’t mindless beasts; battlefield deaths were war’s nature.
However, the massacre of Alpha Bentley’s pack, including pups, was a shameful stain on their royalty.
Yet Velda had the audacity to suggest they target Adelaide?
It was like rubbing coarse salt into a barely healing wound, mercilessly reminding them of their past atrocities.
The resounding slap left Velda dazed and disoriented.
Her hair was brutally yanked, and a heavy, forceful kick to her stomach sent her flying three meters away, landing with a thud.

vicious slaps, each blow like a steel board smashing across her face, until she saw stars and nearly part
out
“ Take her away!” Dominic ordered coldly.
The Western Tribes‘ wolves left Darkclaw Town with Velda and the captives.
South of town lay a desert, then endless mountains.
A passage through the mountains led to a grassland–mountainous area.
Beyond that was the Dragon Ash Wolf Kingdom’s border.
They took the captives through the grassland, up a mountain where a wooden hut awaited – a prison for Velda.
Here, she would endure the same humiliation the Lycan King’s son suffered.
In total, nineteen captives, including Velda, were taken .
All were her subordinates and participants in the original massacre.
Among them was Velda’s cousin.
Loyal and admiring of Velda once, they were now shocked and terrified by her actions – using them as shields and betraying Alpha Lance and Adelaide.
Velda used to be seen as just in their hearts, but now she looked so strange and even frightening.
Especially when she was captured, she actually incited the enemy to seize Alpha Lance and Gamma Adelaide.
Her behavior was unacceptable to them.
Previously, they’d misunderstood Adelaide, but after her duel and today’s successful siege, they recognized her strength.
Velda’s orders to capture her were inexcusable.
Velda’s actions were once driven by suspicion of Adelaide benefiting from her relationship with Alpha
Lance.
But now, her behavior clearly stemed from personal grudges and even cowardice.
Ironically, it was Adelaide who should harbor resentment, as Velda stole Ulrik from her.
Velda’s actions utterly shattered their faith in her, leaving them feeling betrayed and disillusioned.
The wolves of the Western Tribes, with their stern and unyielding demeanor, imprisoned them in a dilapidated hut, binding their limbs so tightly that circulation was nearly cut off.
Escape seemed utterly impossible, with the formidable guards stationed outside, their eyes ever–vigilant and their presence an impenetrable barrier.

Brock, eyes blazing with anger, was the first to snap.
He stared at Velda.
