Chapter 388
Third Person’s POV
When news of his death in battle arrived, she laughed wildly, then wept just as intensely.
Good riddance, she thought-but why hadn't it been Airella instead?
Still, she took grim satisfaction in the idea that Airella’s sons had all perished in the swar. Surely, that would
break Airella’s heart.
And indeed, Airella eventually went blind from her ceaseless tears.
Later, when Airella’s entire family was slaughtered, she felt nothing but schadenfreude.
The wicked always got their comeuppance.
Yet, the man who had tormented her dreams had probably never spared her a single thought in all his
years.
But in the dead of night, her dreams always returned to that first moment she had laid eyes on him-her heart
pounding, her face flushed with shy admiration.
It was the things you couldn’t have that stayed with you forever, searing into your soul.
With a violent thrust, she sent a cup crashing to the floor.
As the porcelain shattered, she glared at the debris, her eyes brimming with venom. If only her father had
permitted her to wed Alpha Bentley back in the day, she would never have harbored such deep-seated
resentment toward the old Lycan King and the current one.
“Father, do you realize you've doomedto a lifetof misery?”
On Begonia Street, a side door swung open.
A maid ushered Hunt in, reassuring him, “Mr. Shuman, Dwight has returned to the Soulrend Pack today and won't
be back until tonight at the earliest.”
Hunt grunted. “Taketo her.”
This residence on Begonia Street was part of the Soulrend Pack’s holdings, arranged by Old Luna for Dwight and
Willow to live in.
Today, Old Luna had summoned Dwight back.

Now that he'd lost his status as heir, Dwight was in a panic.
In his fright, he'd naturally turned to the pack, seeking his grandmother's intervention.
In the parlor, Willow... Wilorina rose to greet him. “Mr. Shuman,” she said.
Hunt looked at his daughter's downcast head and sighed softly. “I'm your father. There’s no one else here. Just
callFather.”

Wilorina lifted her head. “Yes, Father!”
Hunt settled into his seat, his robe swishing around him. “How was your identity compromised? Madison is
furious. I'm here to find out if you've been secretly communicating with Adelaide.”
A chilliness emanated from Wilorina’s eyes and the faintly visible wolf cars peeking through her hair. Her
presence was always shrouded in a frosty cedar scent, laced with mockery.
Even toward her father, she maintained this facade.
“I cto the Soulrend Pack to be a breeder. How could | possibly have private contact with Luna Adelaide? If
Madison doesn’t trust me, she can simply haveeliminated,” she said, her vertical pupils narrowing with
undisguised hostility.
Hunt frowned, his aged cedar pheromones rippling. “What are you talking about? If we killed you, all the
resources invested in you would be wasted. Don’t forget your mission-your mother is still in her clutches.”
His wolf claws curled involuntarily in his palm.
The mockery in Wilorina’s eyes deepened, and her pheromones sharpened like icicles piercing Hunt. “If you truly
cared about my mother, why don’t you stand up to her instead of lettingbe treated like dirt, just to keep my
mother by your side?”
Her nails glinted faintly silver, as if she were on the verge of a partial shift.
Hunt's expression darkened, his pheromones chaotic like a flickering candle in the wind. “You've caused quite
the stir in the Soulrend Pack. Madison is actually delighted, but she’s upset that your cover’s been
blown.”
“Your sister has already set off. She'll cross paths with Alpha Lance on the road. With her stunning beauty and
combat skills that Alpha Lance admires, he’s bound to favor her.”
“Once she infiltrates the Blackthorn Pack, our plan is halfway to success.”
The faint shadow of his wolf tail swished restlessly behind him.
“May she successfully kill Adelaide,” Wilorina said, a flash of ruthlessness crossing her eyes. A tinge of
bloodiness mixed into her pheromones, and her vertical pupils swirled with suppressed murderous intent.
Alpha Bentley was the root of her tragedy and that of all her sisters.
Though Alpha Bentley was dead, Adelaide still lived.
Hunt fell silent, a whirl of complicated emotions flickering in his eyes, his pheromones murky like stagnant
swamp water.
Finally, he let out a heavy sigh, his
breath laden with defeat. “Your m

“As long as she gains favor, she won't die,” Wilorina said with a scornful laugh, her wolf ears flicking back in
disdain.
“Alpha Lance and Adelaide have no real affection for each other. As Madison said, it’s a political marriage.

The Frostfang Pack needs Alpha Lance, but since he’s lost command of his legion, he relies on Adelaider.

“Does your opposition even matter?” Wilorina almost blurted out “coward,” but held back.
Her disdain and contempt were plain to see, her pheromones like a cold wave that stifled Hunt's presence.
Hunt's temples were already flecked with gray.
Looking at his daughter, his wolf eyes brimming with guilt, he knew it was no wonder they resented him.
He had brought them into this world only for them to becpawns of the princess, just as he himself was
nothing more than a pawn.
“1 did try to resist,” he said, his voice barely audible, filled with timid weakness.
