A Female Alpha’s Revenge

Third Person’s POV

“Okay,” Adelaide agreed, though she usually went places with Paisley. She felt uneasy leaving her to handle Ramona and Dorothy alone, hoping Paisley wouldn’t be upset.

Before they could head out, Ralph announced, “Alpha Lance, Luna Adelaide, Mr. and Mrs. Watson are here.”

“Ah? Advisor Doug Watson from the royal court?” Lance was taken aback. “Did he mention what it’s about?

amed worried. Maybe they’re in trouble.”

Ralph shook his head. “No details, but they

Lance was puzzled. “Trouble? The Watson family has resources I don’t even have as an Alpha.”

Anyway, with visitors at the door, their plans for the day were scrapped.

Lance had been looking forward to visiting Yellowstone Mountain with Adelaide for days, but today was consumed by entertaining the Germain family and now the Watsons.

His anticipation for a private outing with Adelaide was dashed.

Noticing the disappointment in Lance’s eyes, Adelaide took his hand and said, “Let’s see what they need first. If it’s not urgent, we can still make it to Yellowstone Mountain.”

Together, they entered the meeting hall.

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

After hearing Mrs. Watson’s plea, both were stunned.

They exchanged glances, at a loss for words.

Mrs. Watson sighed, her eyes crinkling with worry. “We’re counting on you two.”

Adelaide looked uneasy. “I’m too young for such a heavy responsibility.”

Mrs. Watson sighed again. “Don’t mind the laugh, but my granddaughter’s always been picky about mates. We’ve introduced her to many suitors, but she only took a liking to him. Despite our family’s appeals, she’s adamant–she’ll only mate him.”

So set on

“She’s still giving us the cold shoulder, not listening to a word her mom says. We figured, s‘ him and he seems like a decent guy–why not let her have her way? But he shot it down, sa holding her back. So here we are hoping you two could talk to him. You fought alongside him, and he respects you both. Maybe he’ll listen,” Mrs. Watson added.

Doug continued, “We just wanna know why he’s refusing. This ‘holding her back‘ excuse feels like a cop- out. Don’t you think?”

Adelaide was stuck.

She knew the real reason–Eugene had zero interest in mating. He spread the news just to shake Gloria off

But she couldn’t say that outright.

Adelaide remembered Abigail well. At Madison’s birthday bash, when Craig’s painting was called fake. Abigail vouched for it.

She’s the capital’s top scholar, known across half the kingdom.

With her elite family, everyone knew her.

If she sought a mate, Alphas would line up.

Yet she was set on Eugene, who had already been mated.

If her feelings were just a heat of the moment thing and not well thought out, she might end up hurting both herself and Eugene. noveldrama

Melinda declared she’d mate with Dwight the moment she saw him, but soon regretted it. Now they were a miserable couple.

Dwight was no Eugene– they were worlds apart.

Eugene was a hero now, but once mated, he’d just be an ordinary person.

The fear was Abigail was idealizing him. If she discovered her “hero” had flaws post–wedding, that could spell trouble.

“All we want is an answer to help Abigail move on,” Mrs. Watson pleaded with Adelaide.

Lance asked Doug, “What’s your take on this? If Eugene agrees, would your family really be okay with it?”

Doug spread his hands. “What choice do we have? She’s stubborn and won’t listen to anyone. She’s set on him, for better or worse. And Eugene’s a decent guy, better than many noble sons. If it works out, we won’t stand in the way.”

“But he’s not her first mating,” Lance pointed out.

Doug looked surprised. “With all due respect, Luna Adelaide isn’t in her first mating either. Don’t be so -old–fashioned.”

Lance was momentarily speechless.
