Victoria tried to hide her guilt and said, “A few days ago. I ran into her on the street, and we chatted for a bit. We get along pretty well, so don’t worry.”
Jillian thought it over, then shook her head. “Meeting in private and having her treat you kindly is one thing. But at Princess Morgana’s party, there will be a lot of people. If you show up, it’ll put Laila in an awkward spot.”
Victoria smiled. “Relax. Laila isn’t petty. She’s really nice to me.”
Jillian still frowned. Something about Victoria felt off to her.
In the end, Eleanor spoke up, “Alright. If she wants to go, let her go.”
Since her mother said that, Jillian couldn’t argue anymore. “Okay.”
After Jillian left, her brows stayed tightly furrowed.
Her maid, Cathy, asked, “You don’t want Ms. Victoria to go?”
“What’s she going there for? To make things awkward for everyone?” Jillian shook her head. “But Mother feels sorry for her. All these years, Mother never says no to anything she asks for. If I try to stop her, Mother will just blame me instead.
“Besides,” Jillian thought one step further. “If nothing unexpected happens, the Frostwind Pack will definitely invite the Woodses to this party. Has she even thought about that? How is she going to face them?”
Cathy looked confused. “But after General Woods died, didn’t the Woodses ask her to leave so she could find a new mate and start over?”
“But she married Holt. And Holt betrayed Laila. Everyone in the Woodses followed General Conlay.”
Jillian sighed.
If she ran into the Woodses, it was going to be a huge mess,
“Forget it. On the day of the party, keep an eye on her. Don’t let her cause any problems.”
“Got it. Don’t worry, Ms. Jillian.”
Soon, the day of Morgana’s party arrived.
When Laila arrived on time, she noticed a lot of familiar faces–Estelle, Jenna, and Lorena Woods, Terrence’s mother.
Laila had always been on good terms with the Woodses. Back when her father and brothers were still around, the Woodses often visited the Silvermoon Pack,
But before she could go over and greet them, she saw Victoria walk in with her sister, Jillian.

It wasn’t just Laila–everyone there quietly glanced at Victoria, then at Laila.

The former and current Luna of the Ironclaw Pack. No one knew what was about to happen next.
Laila instinctively looked at Morgana. Morgana immediately ran over to explain, “I didn’t invite her!”
After saying that, she wondered if she sounded a little too desperate to please Laila.
But she couldn’t help it. The look Laila just gave her was terrifying, like she wanted to kill her. She was scared.
Victoria also heard Morgana’s words, and her expression stiffened with embarrassment.
She was confused. Hadn’t people said Morgana and Laila didn’t get along? Why did this look nothing like the rumors?
As she was thinking, she caught a glimpse of Lorena out of the corner of her eye–her former mate’s mother.
She froze for a second and suddenly regretted coming to the party.
Lorena had already noticed her. After a brief pause, she walked straight up to Victoria. “It’s been a long time. How have you been?”
She didn’t know that Victoria had become Holt’s mate. The Woodses had kept it from her, afraid it would upset her, so no one was allowed to bring it up in front of her.
The people watching could tell that Lorena.had no idea.
That made things even more awkward.
The whole room fell into a dead silence.
Lorena had a tragic life. She had three sons–two died young, and the only one who survived became famous early, brave and brilliant in battle, only to die on the battlefield and never return.
Seeing her with tears in her eyes, asking Victoria how she was as if she were still her daughter–in–law, made everyone’s heart ache.
Victoria clenched her hands and said softly, “Thanks to you, I’ve been doing well.”
She didn’t dare meet Lorena’s eyes. Her gaze darted around, and her lips trembled.
Lorena didn’t catch on at first. But seeing everyone stay silent–even Jillian–she suddenly started to realize something.
Standing beside her, Edith Woods, Terrence’s grandmother, let out a sigh and said quietly, “Victoria is now Alpha Holt’s Luna.”
Lorena already knew that Holt had once used his military merits to marry Maris as his second Luna.
