Third Person’s POV
Lycan Erasmus sighed. “Currently, Tad is stalling the negotiationis, but Dragon Ash hates him to the core He's
likely endured no small amount of torment. Regardless... we must bring him back, dead or alive. At the very
least, we need to know his true identity.”
“Yes, I'll depart for Dragon Ash's border city tomorrow and hand over my duties at the Ministry of Justice to my
subordinates,” Lance said.
Lycan Erasmus advised, “Exercise caution. Bring along skilled individuals and infiltrate undercover as civilians to
gather information. Should the rescue prove impossible, do not force the issue, understand?
Lance nodded in agreement.
Lycan Erasmus continued, “Additionally, Dudley is investigating the massacre case in Union County. We've
already uncovered leads regarding the perpetrator. You need not concern yourself with this matter any longer;
focus on your mission.”
Lance nodded slightly.
Lycan Erasmus went on, “And regarding Melinda, | cannot constantly meddle in their family affairs. Ensure
Adelaide keeps a close eye on her. As for Alpha Howell...”
Lycan Erasmus shook his head, well-aware of Howell's motives.
Howell sought to remain in the capital, not out of filial piety, but due to his reluctance to leave the affluent city
for his fief.
His timid nature was compounded by cunning intentions.
Despite his elderly mother residing with other senior priests rather than with him, he displayed neither true filial
respect nor genuine care for his children-only timidity and calculation.
Lance said, “Rest assured. Adelaide has assigned someone to watch over Melinda. With your reprimand of Alpha
Manfred today, they likely dare not neglect Melinda further. However, Dwight has indeed mistreated his mate;
such a person is not worth entrusting with important tasks.”

Lycan Erasmus replied with disgust, “How could | be unaware? I'll retain his academic credentials but remove
him from public office. Furthermore, I've stripped him of his inheritance rights. With the Soulrend Pack in disarray
over selecting a new heir, let them deal with their own chaos-so long as Melinda remains unharmed.”
“You've considered everything,” Lance said.
Lycan Erasmus inquired, “You've heard about the woman from the nightclub, the breeder who bore Hunt's child,
right?”
“I have,” Lance confirmed, recalling that Prunella’s people had uncovered the information.
Lycan Erasmus mused, “What does Madison intend? Sending her own daughter to a nightclub and then into a
noble wolf pack-could it be that other packs are involved as well, perhaps under different

identities?”
Ever the family-oriented yet suspicious figure, Lycan Erasmus could spin a web of conjecture fremt slightest hint,
Lance suggested, “We could dispatch investigators.”
Lycan Erasmus smiled and waved it off. “It’s not urgent. Attend to your own tasks first.
“Then I'll take my leave,” Lance said, bowing and exiting.
At the Blackthorn Pack, Adelaide was packing Lance's clothes, a subtle worry creasing her brow. “Perhaps 1
should accompany you. | can’t bear the thought of you going alone.”
“I won't be alone. I'll have Tommy and Caldwell with me. You needn’t come. You've got Zelda's mating ceremony
to organize, and Cedric is starting school soon,” Lance said.
“How about Caldwell’s combat skills?”
Adelaide wasn’t overly familiar with Caldwell. Despite his significant role in the pack, he tended to blend into the
background.
“His combat skills are average, but he’s sharp-minded,” Lance replied.
Adelaide remained uneasy. This mission involved infiltrating Dragon Ash’s border city. “What if | send Paisley
along?”
Lance drew her into his arms and kissed her forehead.
Her concern warmed his heart. “No need. I'll have my mentor accompany
me.”
“Klein?” Adelaide asked. If Klein were going, she'd feel more assured.
Klein was a strong combatant with an unpredictable presence.
Sometimes distant, he had a knack for appearing when needed most.
“Exactly. Rest assured, I'll bring Eugenius back,” Lance assured her, placing another kiss on her cheek.
The thought of being apart for over a month filled him with reluctance.
“Eugenius, you said his nis Eugenius?”
“Yes. He's been infiltrating Dragon Ash’s supply convoys to the southern border, passing us intelligence, Lance
explained.
“The enemy from the Western Tribe posing as Dragon Ash soldiers was verified through him,” Adelaide added.
“After we returned from reclaiming
the southern border, we connected
with him via Stewaix, fhe flair was
far, fii Stay in Dragon Ash for a
year to ensure no resurgence of
conflict before returning,” Lance said.
“Eugenius... Eugenius,” Adelaide repeated the name. “Is this a codename?”
