A Female Alpha’s Revenge

Adelaide’s POV

I followed Alpha Lance’s orders, talling the retreating, Wedern Trikes and tropa kda uddies from distance with my team.

Suddenly, my wolf spoke in my mind, “Someone’s following on

Surprised, I sniffed the air bant detected nexting

Turning my head, I saw Ulrik trailing, ne with his group, his gaze toed on me.

Paisley and the others were with me.

Our mission was simples monitor the retreat to ensure they didn’t harm innoccare in offer torets

But Ulrik’s team was restless. He kept scaring the surroundings, a warching for something

Without asking, he followed us until nightfall.

We continued until we were sure they were heading toward Dragon hah, then I signaled a wy

Paisley voiced her concern, “What if they attack at

I shook my head. “They won’t”

If they were going to, Lance wouldn’t have let us handle this

“Why? They outnumber us, she persisted.

I didn’t elaborate.

The Dragon Ash Kingdom had already lost morale, and the Western Tribes were jer using them for

revenge.

Solanke had disguised his involvement to avoid responsibility. Now that his goal was achieved, why would he take another risk?

As night fell, Lance’s subordinate brought a new command wait on the grasslanda

The temperature dropped sharply, and the warriors gathered around campfires

The sound of crackling, flames filled the air when Ulrik suddenly appeared His horse wopped abgdy is front of me, hooves kicking up sparks, noveldrama

“Velda’s missing, We need to keep chasing he said homrely.

I added a log to the fire, the flames leaping up to illuminate his tense fow

“What makes you think she’s with Dragon Aats forces?” I asked.

“She chased after some Western Tribes‘ wolves at the start of the battle and hasn’t been seen since,” he said, his knuckles whitening.

Paisley sneered. “Maybe you should check the battlefield for her body.”

Ulrik’s voice rose. “She’s not dead. How dare you speak of your comrades like that?”

Paisley flipped her hand dismissively. “I don’t plan on being a warrior forever. Don’t make me call her my comrade–she’s not worthy.”

Ulrik, speechless with anger, turned to me. “I’m sorry for what happened between us, but this isn’t about Velda. Would you leave any other werewolf warrior captured?”

I countered, “Would you risk twenty thousand lives to chase the enemy?”

He hesitated. “I…”

I continued, “You know their lives are invaluable. Without proof of Velda’s capture, even if we had it, we can’t confirm she’s with the retreating forces. We can’t pursue.”

Avery backed me up. “Plus, there are many werewolf packs in this area. Charging in blindly could spark a new war.”

Ulrik’s face flushed. “Can we just stand by? It’s not just Velda–her subordinates are missing too!”

“How do you know she was captured?” I asked.

“She chased a group of enemies at the start of the battle. A retreat so soon after the battle began–it’s clearly a trap!”

I replied coolly, “To fall for such an obvious ruse? Would you have thousands of lives compensate for her mistake? Besides, if you spotted the trap, why didn’t you stop her?”

Ulrik fell silent for a moment, then admitted, “I shouted, but she didn’t listen. I was commanding my troops. If I’d left, my subordinates would have followed. I couldn’t let her disrupt the entire operation.”

I knew he was telling the truth.

After Velda was lured away, Lance had anticipated the enemy’s retreat and issued new orders.

The Dragon Ash Wolf Kingdom’s delayed retreat was just for appearances–Victor had known Solanke’s intentions all along. This war was never going to be united from the start.

I sighed. “Ulrik, even if Velda was captured, we can’t recklessly rescue her. We have to wait for orders.”

Ulrik suddenly lunged at me like a rabid beast, his sinewy hand grabbing my wrist and yanking me aside.

His pheromones, laced with Alpha aura, filled the air as he roared, his voice tinged with a lupine howl, “Adelaide, you must know she’s been captured and you’re not helping? Do you know where she is?”

“Snap!” A whip cracked between us.

Paisley, like a streak of red lightning, shielded me. The whip’s tip whistled past Ulrik’s cloak.

She glared at him and barked. “If you have nothing to say, back off! Don’t lose control here!”

Ulrik’s eyes bulged with rage, his temples throbbing with veins like twisted earthworms. But he gritted his teeth and withdrew his hand.

Turning back to me, his eyes brimming with desperation and doubt, he hissed. “You know where she is, don’t you? Stop pretending

1 yanked my hand free and said coldly. “I don’t. She could be in the desert, on the grasslands, or hiding in the mountains. But no matter where she is, I can’t risk everyone’s lives to search for her. It’s too dangerous. and I won’t gamble with their lives.”
