Sorenna, assuming it was all an act, continued sending her daily goading messages with clockwork precision.
Riven smothered Sorenna in luxuries befitting a Luna-titled mistress, new estates across pack territories, enchanted fireworks under full-moon skies, chests of rare gems infused with moon magic.
He even cleared out an entire trading plaza so she could shop without disturbance during her “sacred expectancy.”
Soon, rumors of the mysterious “Golden Patroness” behind Alpha Riven spread through the Alpha Hall like wildfire. Her name soared to the top of every wolfnet ranking.
The Corvath Pack’s Beta team released a statement within the hour, “Yes. Alpha Riven is expecting a new pup.”
The simple claim plunged the entire supernatural realm into chaos.
However, Freya didn’t bother with the uproar. She took a carriage straight to the Corvath ancient Manor.
Since she would be leaving the territory soon, she felt obliged to bid farewell to the Corvath elders who had raised her. Despite being a foundling, the pack had sheltered her like true blood.
