Third Person’s POV
Many people couldn't help but glance at Gloria and then at Adelaide.
The comparison was stark,
Gloria felt like a fool for even showing up

She hadn’t seen what she’d hoped to see and was still reluctant to give up, shamelessly staying to watch for any
slip-up from Adelaide during the grand banquet.
The banquet progressed to the toast segment.
It was traditional for guests to offer toasts during the meal. So when the male guests announced, “Let's go offer
our best wishes to Priscilla,” the guests put down their utensils and turned their attention to Priscilla
Led by Alpha Lance, Alpha Howell, Cyrus, and Doug approached first.
They walked straight up to Priscilla, raised their glasses a few feet away, and said. “To Priscilla’s long life, good
health, and abundant blessings.”
Originally, Lance had planned to drink the toast on his mother’s behalf. But Priscilla, in high spirits, raised her
own glass and smiled, saying. “Here's to all of us-to long life, good health, and many years of enjoying the
company of our children and grandchildren.
Cyrus and Doug, being older, found the toast quite fitting, while Alpha Howell stood awkwardly aside.
Cyrus and Doug downed their drinks in one gulp. Howell quickly followed suit and excused himself
Groups of three male guests continued to approach. After Priscilla had drunk several toasts, Adelaide stood up
and said. “On behalf of my mother-in-law, | thank you for taking the toffer your best wishes today. If there
were any shortcomings in our hospitality, please kindly ove them.”
The next group included Winslow and two family heads.
Winslow, Wanda’s mate, didn’t so much as glance at her upon entering.
Wanda, furious, thought to herself, “He won't look at me? | don’t need him to.”
“Luna Adelaide, you're truly straightforward!” Winslow smiled and raised his glass to Adelaide. “I admire you
greatly.”

“I'm flattered,” Adelaide replied with a smile.
The two family heads also drank their toasts and cast admiring glances at Adelaide.
Gloria found the scene highly ironic. The guests had cto offer best wishes to Priscilla. If a replacement
drinker was needed, it should have been Alpha Lance, not Adelaide.
She expected Lance to be annoyed. But when she glanced at him, she saw him looking at Adelaide with

tender affection.
In that instant, Gloria felt as if struck by lightning-her whole body froze.
She recognized that look; it was one she hadn't seen in a long time.
Eugene used to look at her that way.
But Ulrik never had. His eyes were always cold.

Memories of Eugene flooded back, and for a moment, Alpha Lance’s figure seemed to overlap with Eugene's in
her mind.
She quickly drained a glass of wine, forcing down the jumble of thoughts-what good were memories when he
was gone?
Sabrina cowered in a cold, carved wooden chair, her fingers digging deeply into her palms.
The utter failure of her first attempt coiled around her heart like a cold, venomous snake-the crushing
pheromones of Lance, and the undisguised contempt and alienation in Wanda’s eyes.
Wanda didn’t even glance at her again, as if she were a plague..
The obsession with entering the Blackthorn Pack burned more fiercely in her despair.
She stared intently at Alpha Lance, who was as close as the sun yet as unattainable.
She knew this was her last chance. Wanda would never allow her a third approach.
A desperate resolution surged within her.
She abruptly seized the half-full wine glass beside her. The liquid in the glass mirrored the twisted determination
in her eyes.
Amid the curious and mocking gazes of the crowd, she rose unsteadily to her feet. A stiff, fragile smile. tinged
with the pathos of a desperate gamble, forced its way onto her face as she headed toward Priscilla

This time, a strong arm finally caught her around the waist.
A crazed gleam flickered in Sabrina’s eyes.
Not only did she not rein herself in, but she channeled all her remaining strength and focus into her pheromones.

But when Sabrina looked up, her face drained of color-the person who caught her was Winslow.

As soon as Sabrina steadied herself, Winslow released her. But the odd looks from the crowd had already landed
on her.
