A Female Alpha’s Revenge (Adelaide) novel Chapter 849

Chapter 849

Third Person’s POV

“Luna, with all due respect, you look incredibly exhausted,” Adelaide said politely.

“I’ll pray to the Moon Goddess to bless your wolf with strength and health.””

“Thank you.” Hespere dropped her voice to a low murmur.

“Given the current climate, I assume you’re here regarding the PR nightmare surrounding the Independent Center?”

“You’re very well-informed,” Adelaide replied with a polite smile.

The entire noble werewolf circle is talking about it. If we have done anything to cross the Blackthorns or compromise your

erests during this mess, I want to extend my most sincere apologies right now.”

she spoke, Hespere actually started to drop to one knee to salute.

Adelaide quickly caught her, cutting straight to the core of the issue with a sharp gaze.

“Then I’d like to know, Luna-what do you honestly think of the Independent Center?”

Hespere answered without a second

pere nodded. “I catch your drift. Don’t worry, I’ll find some time to head up to the palace.

It was a classic political deflection without any real commitment, but Adelaide wasn’t about to drop it.

“If Lycan Luna Camilla isa’t interested in getting involved, would you be interested in joining us?”

This time, a genuine smile finally broke across Hespere’s face.

“Luna Adelaide, thank you for the trust. But I am buried under my own pack’s affairs; I barely have time to breathe, let alone d something I’m actually passionate about.”

Adelaide didn’t push. “When it’s something you truly love, even dedicating just one hour a week is worth it.”

A sudden spark lit up Hespere’s eyes. It was a perspective she had never even considered before.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere inside the briefing room was thick enough to cut with a knife.

Lance laid it out completely blankly.

“My Luna poured a massive amount of heart into building that Center. I don’t want anyone sabotaging it. Anyone.”

Stanley hadn’t expected him to be so incredibly blunt and was temporarily left speechless.

Taking advantage of his hesitation, Lance pressed on.

“The young wolves writing those hit pieces to stir up this media circus? I’ve already sent my men to give each of them a verbal warning. If they keep dragging the Center’s name through the mud, I’ll have my guards toss them into the dungeons for interrogation.”

Stanley’s jaw tightened. Lance’s attitude today was miles more arrogant than he had anticipated.

Seeing that Stanley remained quiet, Lance doubled down.

“Since they’ve severely damaged the Center’s reputation, they are going to issue a public apology and retraction. The draft goes straight to Caldwell first for screening. Once he clears it, they can publish.”

He set his coffee cup down, leaning back to look at Stanley with a completely relaxed posture.

“That’s the sole reason I dropped by today. I expect you to handle this immediately so I don’t have to make a second trip

Stanley turned a sickening shade of pale, his fury boiling over as he slammed his aura against Lance like a folid brick wall, Lance didn’t even blink, meeting the attack head-on with a crushing, suffocating counter-pressure.

Given his advanced age, Stanley couldn’t hold the line for long.

He broke, panting heavily as he hissed, “Alpha Lance, are you trying to muscle me? Every werewolf has the right to free speech can’t tell me that just because Luna Adelaide built the place, no opposing voices are allowed.”
