A Female Alpha’s Revenge

Chapter 493

Third Person’s POV

Adelaide said with a smile, “Christine is pretty awesome. She can tell right from wrong. In the matter of Gloria and Eugene, she stuck to principles instead of favoring her own people. In powerful packs and noble families, it’s usually all for one and one for all. But she’s different. She doesn’t play favorites. That’s truly rare.”

“Yeah, she’s one of a kind,” said Paisley, nodding. noveldrama

Paisley rested her chin on Adelaide’s shoulder. “I wonder what Sadi’s saying to Christine at the Ironclaw Pack right now. She’s probably trying to get Tad on board with Alpha Germain.”

At the Ironclaw Pack, it was a hive of activity.

Luna Cynthia, Christine, Audrey, and some elders of the Olson family were present.

When Luna Sadi and Maya arrived with a mountain of gifts, it was clear Sadi was being very generous.

Though not a natural influencer, Sadi tried hard to assert her status as Luna, often letting Maya take a back

seat.

Every time Maya spoke, Sadi would interrupt, offering gifts to Christine’s children.

Despite being repeatedly cut off, Maya remained courteous and engaging in her conversations with Cynthia and Audrey.

Christine could tell Maya was the real challenge.

She guarded against Maya’s words.

She didn’t immediately respond to Maya’s words. Instead, she changed the subject and only gave half- hearted replies later.

With Luna Sadi present, Christine could politely prioritize Sadi’s superficial questions.

Maya suggested a stroll around the Ironclaw Pack, praising the fragrance of American mountain ash in September.

Christine agreed to accompany her.

But as Christine rose to invite her, Maya smiled and said, “I forgot I sprained my ankle a few days back. I can’t walk around. Why don’t you and Luna Sadi go? I’ll stay and chat with Luna Cynthia and Audrey.”

Though Sadi disliked being directed by Maya, the chance for a private chat with Christine was welcome. She quickly agreed.

Christine internally cursed. They underestimated Maya. If they blurted out anything in the conversation, it would be trouble.

Maya was shrewd, using feints that were hard to guard against.

On the surface, Christine acted as if nothing was wrong. She invited Sadi out, chatting cheerfully as they walked, “This mountain ash isn’t easy to grow in the capital, but we… Ouch!”

Distracted by the conversation, she failed to notice the threshold and stumbled forward.

Sadi was taken aback and quickly had someone assist her.

An omega hurried to help Christine up.

Leaning on the omega’s arm, Christine limped back to the hall, hissing, “Oops, how rude of me. Please don’t mind it, Luna Sadi.”

“How could you be so careless?” Luna Cynthia also felt Christine had acted rudely. Known for her poise, Christine’s stumble today was unbearably embarrassing.

“Seeing Luna Sadi and Maya, I was overjoyed and let my guard down. I truly apologize,” Christine said with a self–deprecating sigh.

Christine sat down slowly, her face full of apologies. “Audrey, could you take Luna Sadi on a tour?” she asked once seated.

As Audrey started to get up, Luna Sadi said coolly, “Forget it. Your injury’s my fault for wanting to explore. Let’s just sit and chat.”

Christine said sorry again. “I’m really sorry to have let you down, Luna Sadi.”

“Is your foot okay? Should we get a doctor?” Luna Sadi asked with

“It’s a bit sore, but I don’t think it’s broken. I’m fine without a doctor. Thanks for said.

concern,” Christine

The pack had arranged a talk–show performance for the day with an actor. When hosting nobility, entertainment was a must, and all necessary arrangements had been made.

An outdoor barbecue was also planned, but after checking with the guests and finding no interest in the performance, the event was canceled.

long, As evening approached, Maya said with a smile, “Alpha Germain’s been in Blue Ridge State for so rarely visiting the capital. We’ve made few friends here. Today’s delightful conversation feels like fate.”

“Why not visit the Blue Abyss Pack in a few days?” she suggested. “Mr. Raven, the famous astrologer who traveled with us to the capital, will be there too.”

Luna Cynthia’s eyes lit up. “Mr. Raven? He’s such a renowned figure. Thank you for the introduction.” Maya smiled. “Luna Cynthia, it’s settled then. We’d be honored by your presence.”

Christine’s smile stiffened. With this exchange, the two packs seemed to grow closer–at least in appearance.

This was unacceptable.

Her mind raced. Earlier, she’d clumsily used a fall to avoid the situation.

Now, with Maya’s invitation accepted by Cynthia, declining would be an insult. But accepting would fuel gossip.

Was it better to risk offending others or to become the subject of rumors?
