Velda's POV
I stared at Adelaide's composed face, my throat welling with a question, "Why hide those matters?"
Adelaide lightly flicked her ear tips, cedar pheromones blending with the crisp scent. "It's merely pack business, hardly worth mentioning. Nothing to talk about."
Confusion crossed Abbot's face, and he blurted out, "Dissolved mate bond? Why dissolve it?"
I lowered my gaze, releasing submissive pheromones laced with mint and feigned grievance. I said, "After the Bloodscar victory, Lycan Erasmus approved my joining to the Bloodmoon Pack and permitted me and Alpha Ulrik's bonding. Miss Davidson was upset, so she requested to sever her bond with Alpha Ulrik."
My words, while not the full story, weren't lies.
Naturally, I omitted the part about using merits to seek Lycan Erasmus
