Chapter 548
Third Person’s POV
Adelaide found Clarissa’s actions puzzling.
Clarissa’s delivery of floral tributes and holy water lent support to Madison, drawing many to Madison's event.
Clarissa’s sudden benevolence was likely orchestrated by Lycan Erasmus, especially since Sophia's interrogation
would inevitably implicate Madison.
Hence, Erasmus’s heightened interest in the religious ceremony.
But what was the purpose of such attention?
It would only attract a crowd.

After discussion, Adelaide asked Caldwell, “is Lycan Erasmus luring individuals with close ties to Madison's
mansion? After all, Madison wouldn't invite them without a strong connection.”
Caldwell frowned. “I'm concerned Lycan Erasmus might know of tonight's planned events at Madison's mansion,
which is why he’s sending so many. While your suggestion is plausible, | believe his primary aim is to uncover
Madison's
secrets.”
“Could he know about our plans?” Paisley asked, surprised.
“It’s uncertain,” Caldwell said.
He continued, “Lycan Erasmus is not only suspicious but also enigmatic. We've conducted multiple screenings,
but if he has deep-cover agents, they'd be hard to detect.”
Adelaide added, “Even if there are, it’s not strange. At least when we discussed this, no one else was present-

Craig interjected, “Intuition. I've spoken with Lycan Erasmus before; he’s exceptionally intelligent and
perceptive.”

“Intuition?” someone questioned.
“Yes, a ruler’s intuition,” Craig explained, fanning himself.

“Don’t dismiss it. Rulers often possess unique perceptiveness, even if it’s based on fragmented information.”
Caldwell said, “You should also know that recently, the capital's citizens have been clamoring for a memorial hall
for Lance. Although we've had people praise Lycan Erasmus alongside LAlpha ance, Lycan Erasmus is likely still
displeased.”
Adelaide nodded. “Combined with Sophia's situation, the disappearance of Cassius’s family, and tonight's ritual
at Madison's mansion, Lycan Erasmus might sense these events are interconnected. He could believe public
unrest is manipulated, implying someone is plotting.”
“Exactly,” Caldwell said. “If this is the case, it's advantageous. Even if Lycan Erasmus knows we're behind
tonight's events, it confirms that Alpha Lance dislikes public adulation and opposes the memorial. Moreover, it
exposes Madison's secrets, reminding Lycan Erasmus that the real concern isn’t the Blackthorn Pack but others.”
Craig added, “Since your mating, the Blackthorn Pack hasn't schemed or allied with powerful packs. Lycan
Erasmus’s suspicion of you should ease.”
Paisley turned to Adelaide, “They're right. Men often understand other men better.”
Around nine in the evening, the infiltrators set out.
Clad in black skin-tight clothes, they exuded a rust-like pheromone tinged with bloodlust, slipping into Madison's
mansion like nocturnal bats.
Their wolf claws flickered at their fingertips, cold and predatory.
Inside the main courtyard of Madison’s mansion, the religious ceremony proceeded with sandalwood and amber
pheromones filling the air.
A sudden scream, sharp as a blade through silk, silenced the prayers.
“Intruders!” The scream, laced with terror, pierced the night, striking fear into Madison's heart.
