Ulrik’s POV
e
A roar like thunder rolled over the plains outside Frostbite Town, shaking eardrums.
Adelaide straightened her spine, meeting the firm gaze of every wolf in the formation.

| and Velda stood apart, watching the Ironthorn Army stand to attention like a forest at sunset.
The wolf-head emblems on the warriors‘ shoulder armor gleamed coldly, a hundred times more brilliant than the
tattered Bloodmoon Pack banner.
“These reinforcement wolves are ours. Why should they answer to Adelaide?” Velda fumed. “You shouldn't have
heldback earlier. Lance is clearly favoring her.”
| suppressed my irritation, cedar pheromones mingling with soothing undertones. “Even if they weren't under
her command, they wouldn't follow us. The Ironthorn Army is Royal sodiers. Moreover, as supporting wolf
generals, we should heed Alpha Lance's orders.”
“Is that so? At the Bloodscar Battle, didn’t we lead our own troops?” Her wolf claws scraped the ground, leaving
deep grooves.
“The situation was different. Before reinforcements arrived at the Bloodscar Battle, Alpha Zander had already
held on for so long and was gravely injured. Remember our first battle at the Bloodscar? We were caught off
guard. If it weren't for...,” My thoughts drifted to Adelaide’s uncle, who had timely cto our rescue.
But he had paid the price of losing an arm.
At the thought, My heart tightened. | truly owed Adelaide a debt of gratitude.
My wolf magnified this sentiment, and Velda, marked by me, obviously sensed it.
She turned to me.
“On the battlefield, it’s either you saveor | save you. You don’t need to feel guilty, nor do you owe Adelaide
anything. If you owe anyone, it’s her uncle,” Velda said.

1 didn’t wish to dwell on it.
Sthings, if pondered too much, might lead to regret.
Things had already progressed to this point-1 and Velda had formed a mate bond and joined the southern border
battlefield.
As long as | fought bravely and earned merits, | could restore the Bloodmoon Pack’s reputation.
“It’s unfair, and | believe our subordinates feel the same,” Velda complained.

| grasped her wrist, warning her, “What are you planning? Don’t speak out of turn in front of the troops.”
She shookoff, her eyes flashing with mockery. “Need | say it? Everyone can see she’s climbed the ranks
through bloodline. Your protection of her- are you still clinging to old feelings?”
“I only safeguard the battlefield.” My cedar pheromones intensified. “A major battle is imminent Don’t cause
more trouble.”
“Causing trouble?” Velda sneered, gazing at the blood-red sunset. “Perhaps it’s tto reveal whether this so-
called Alpha of the Frostfang Pack has real merit.”
My heart jolted as | warned, “Velda, I'm warning you. If you speak out of line, you'll face the royal wolf court...”.
Velda’s pride flared. “I was the key contributor at the Bloodscar Battle and the first female Gamma in our
kingdom. I’ve made no grave errors. Who dares to punish me?”
She moved to leave. | immediately followed.
| questioned, “You never explained why Solanke suddenly surrendered at Snowdeer Town.”
Her slit pupils narrowed, her tone impatient. “I've told you countless times. | spread news of Alpha Lance's
reinforcement and burned their food supplies. They panicked and surrendered.”
Yes, she had repeated this explanation many times before.
I had seen no issues with it until | and Velda formed a mate bond.
One day, she had mobilized over a hundred wolf warriors without prior approval, leading to a reprimand.
Yet she had the audacity to tellshe’d sought and received approval for mobilizing over a hundred wolf
warriors-a flat-out lie, delivered without a flicker of deceit in her.
Recalling the Bloodscar victory, | felt something amiss.
The Western Tribes’ thirty-thousand strong force, disguised as the Dragon Ash Kingdom's wolves, was heading to
the southern border.
It made no sense for them to suddenly send troops after signing a peace treaty.
Unless the Western Tribes had harbored resentment when signing the treaty at the Bloodscar.
“Ulrik, don’t you trust your own mate?”
Velda's eyes softened, her mint
pheromones sweet. “Solanke signed

willingly surrendered, he could have

“I'm not angry. I'm not that sentimental,” Velda replied nonchalantly, though her words carried a hint of sarcasm.
