Chapter 834
Third Person’s POV
Even Paisley had seriously dressed up for the occasion.
To be fair, ever since she’d arrived in the capital, she had practically boycotted these tedious noble banquets.
But since Adelaide was personally accompanying her tonight, she refused to show up looking like a bum.

Even though Paisley had spent years roughing it in the Shadow Peaks, she was still a Stephens; high society elegance and grace were in her blood.
With just a little bit of effort, she looked every bit as stunning and radiant as any refined noble lady.
Avery had also heavily insisted on taggng along as their bodyguard.
He was entirely confident that his handsome looks, paired with the sharp uniform of the Blackthorn Guard Commander, would make him the center of attention and bring glory to the pack.
He even bet Adelaide that every single young she-wolf at the party would fall for him.
As darkness fell, the Blackthorn carriages arrived at the Blue Abyss estate right on time.
Sidney and Maya, flanked by Carla and Liz, were already waiting by the entrance.
Maya was the only one who knew about Germain’s crazy plot, and her heart did a sudden flip when she saw two carriages pull up instead of one.
“Didn’t Luna Sidney only invite Paisley? Why are there two carriages?”
When Lance and Adelaide stepped elegantly out of the first carriage, Maya’s mind went entirely blank.
“Oh, Moon Goddess! What are these two massive headaches doing here?”
Maya nudged Sidney, hissing under her breath, “I thought you said you only invited Paisley! What the hell is this?”
Sidney, however, was on cloud nine.
Her mate had only asked her to bring Paisley, but now the legendary Alpha Lance and Gamma Adelaide had shown
up too.
They had obviously come out of respect for her position as Luna. This was total validation of her status in high society.
bermain was going to praise her to high heaven for this.
Irritated by Maya’s tone, Sidney Snapped, “Lose the attitude! Listen, getting Alpha Lance to visit our estate is proce of my capability. Keep your mouth shut!”
Maya was so frustrated she wanted to spit blood.
Realizing it was pointless to waste words on this motor, she turned to a nearby maid and ordered, “Quick inform Alpha Germain immediately!”
The maid va
d like a shadow into the depth of the manor.
In his dimly lit study, Germain bolted to his feet upon hearing the repoq, his Alpha aura flaring out of control
“What? You’re telling me Lance and Adelaide are here too?!”
His entire game plan for tonight was to stay in his study while Paisley drank wine spiked with Solution 109. Once it hit, Maya would have servants quietly move Paisley to his private bedroom.
Unlike the panicked Germain, Raven was actually ecstatic. He quickly waved the maid out, shutting the door, and dropped his voice to a sharp whisper.
“Alpha! This is a golden opportunity! We’ve tried extending olive branches to the Blackthors multiple times only to get a cold shoulder. You’ve sent private invites to Lance for a secret meeting, and he’s always dodged them. Now, he’s walked right through our front door! Even if we can’t fully bring him to our side tonight, we can at least use this to build a peaceful relationship! With how fast the political landscape is shifting, having this meeting tonight guarantees we can find an opening to win him over later!”
From day one, Raven had strongly advised pulling Lance into an alliance; after all, Lance’s military clout was the ultimate wildcard,
It was only because the Blackthorns ran such a tight ship-leaving them zero chances for a private chat with kance
-that Raven had reluctantly agreed to Germain’s risky plot.
Now, the exact man they needed had shown up on their doorstep. If that wasn’t a gift from the Moon Goddess, what was?
But Germain had zero interest in Raven’s analysis. His face was a mask of frustration and bitter disappointment that his personal fantasy had been ruined.
Raven picked up on the shift immediately. “Alpha Germain?”
A sinister light swirled in Germain’s eyes.
“Damn it! Me couldn’t have picked a worse time to show up!”
Raven blinked, entirely baffled. “How is him being here a bad thing?”
After all, the plan to drug Paisley was a garbage idea anyway the risk was so high it was basically suicide

Aligning with Lance was the real jackpot.

Even if they couldn’t form an outright alliance, driving a wedge between Lance and Lycan Erasmus to destroy the King’s trust would play perfectly into the Blue Abyss’s hands.
Lycan Erasmus would inevitably target Lance first because of his massive pull with the troops.
When that happened, Germain could strike and take the throne.
Suddenly, a realization hit Raven like a bolt of lightning. He stared at Germain in absolute disbelief.
“Oh Moon Goddess… Alpha Germain, have you actually fallen for Paisley? This isn’t just about using her to control the Stephens, is it?!”
Caught red-handed on his personal desires, Germain let out an embarrassed roar. “Shut the hell up!!”
His reaction told Raven everything he needed to know. Raven’s brow furrowed, his tone becoming more serious than it had ever been.
“Alpha, I must remind you-if you want to take the supreme crown, you cannot let your lust override your intellect!”
