Looking at Gloria, Patrick asked, "Why did you tear up the check?"
"It was just a piece of paper." Gloria's voice was calm. She didn't seem to have any emotion. Gloria's despair was hidden under her calm appearance. She gave up everything, including her dignity, in exchange for the check. However, she failed to redeem her freedom. At this precise moment, she felt despair. She was exhausted. Christine drove quickly to Black Thorn Pack's hospital. Sean was already waiting for them there. He quickly gave Gloria a checkup. "You're lucky," Sean said. "But you won't get so lucky next time. You don't have a wolf anymore, and you suffer from wolf poison from before. Don't you know that you can't drink?" Sean then left the ward and went to the corridor. Patrick was smoking there. Sean walked up to Patrick and asked, "What happened this time?" Patrick didn't answer. He just lowered his head and smoked. Sean was used to suGloria said to herself, "Don't bother. Don't try to make him believe you." However, looking at Patrick's calm face, she found it unbearable. She was tortured and he was the reason for her misery. Why should he look so relaxed? She said in a mocking tone, "Do you think Gabrielle was innocent? Do you think she was so perfect? Let me tell you something. She deserved it! She deserved to die!" Patrick suddenly raised a hand and swung it down at her face. Gloria's expression changed, and she subconsciously closed her eyes. She didn't feel the pain she expected. Instead, Patrick punched the wall. "Gloria, you may become humble or miserable, yet you are still Gloria to me. However, she is dead already. Why are you still insulting her? You make me sick!" Patrick couldn't have been more disappointed. He slammed the door and left. Gloria quietly watched Patrick leave. A few minutes later, she let out a hoarse scream uncontrollably. She threw e
Christine did not need Gloria to tell her about her past. She already figured out from the recent events that Gloria and Patrick had a history. Although Christine joined the Black Thorn Pack only two years ago, she had heard of Gabrielle's name repeatedly. She heard that Gabrielle was Damon's younger sister, the woman that Patrick fell for. Patrick rejected his mate Gloria for Gabrielle. However, one day, Gabrielle was killed by rogues, which not only infuriated Patrick, but also depressed Damon. Christine never got it. The Black Thorn Pack's Gamma did a good job protecting the pack, and the pack was safe. How could Gabrielle end up killed by rogues? She understood today, but she did not believe it. Because she knew Gloria. Gloria was a proud person and would never do such a thing. Christine raised her hand and stroked Gloria's head. She didn't ask Gloria why she didn't explain to Patrick and to prove her innocence. On
The Beta of the Walter Pack suddenly thought of something. He said, "I remember something. Warren mentioned Gloria when he called." Then, Daley remembered it too. He said, "Gloria? From the Silver Spring Pack? Isn't she in the werewolf prison? Call Alpha Alger, the Alpha of the Silver Spring Pack. I want to ask him myself." It was late in the night. After the call went through, someone picked up and he didn't sound happy. "What's the matter? It's so late." "Alpha Alger, are you asleep?" asked Daley. Alger was no longer that drowsy after he heard Daley's voice. He said, "Oh, it's you, Alpha Daley. It's late. What do you want?" "Alpha Alger, I'm calling to congratulate you," Daley said. Alger was puzzled. He asked in confusion, "About what, Alpha Daley? What's the occasion?" "Congratulations on your family reunion. Gloria has been released, hasn't she?" Alger's expression suddenly changed. He said with a solemn ex
The next morning, Sean came to the hospital to give Gloria a final checkup. He said to Gloria, "You can be discharged now. But Gloria, don't ever risk your life again." Sean didn't want to say that to Gloria at first. However, for some reason, he suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Patrick in the bedroom at Fittro Club that day. He glanced at Gloria and continued, "Now that you are out of prison, you should live your life more seriously. The past is in the past, and you've paid for what you've done. Three years in prison may not be worth a life, still, it costs you a lot." Gloria had been silent, then, she raised her head slowly and looked at Sean. She asked, "Has everything been paid?" Maybe it was an illusion. Yet Sean thought he heard a hint of sarcasm in her gruff voice. He looked down suspiciously at Gloria, and his eyes became obscure. "What do you mean?" Gloria lowered her head and said, "Nothing." Sean wa
Gloria did not want to go back to those memories, but they would not leave her alone. But those memories hit her hard and overwhelmed her. Once, Gabrielle said to her with a troubled look, "I don't like Alpha Patrick." Once, Gabrielle comforted her warmly, "It's OK, Gloria. That's who Alpha Patrick is. Gloria, you're awesome. I'm sure Alpha Patrick will accept the Moon Goddess' arrangement." Once, Gabrielle said shyly, "Gloria, I've found my mate, but I'm afraid of Alpha Patrick. Get him to mark you as quickly as possible, OK? So, I will no longer be afraid of him." That night, Gabrielle pulled an innocent face and said, "Gloria, take me to a pub, will you? I have never been to one before. I'm so curious." Gloria thought, 'How ridiculous. I simply trusted her! After that, Gabrielle was raped by rogues on the other side of the Shadow Forest, and I was sent to werewolf prison by Patrick. I was humiliated and tortured for three years, and eve
Gloria looked so serious. She said to Patrick, "My biggest mistake was falling in love with you." The expression on her face reminded Patrick of the Gloria he used to know. Back then, she came to Patrick again and again. She declared that she was his mate and that they were a couple arranged by the Moon Goddess. Patrick stared at Gloria. She was as serious as back then. However, with the same expression as before, she was now telling him that she was wrong. She said that she was wrong. She said she would correct her mistakes. What did she mean by that? Patrick felt a dull pain in his heart for no reason. He was about to snap. All he knew was that she couldn't wait to leave him and be with Mike! "Gloria, have I told you that even if it was something I didn't want, no one else could get their hands on it?" Patrick's voice was strangely soft, which sent shivers down her spine. Gloria's breathing became rapid. She held the bedding under
Gloria felt the urge to give up on herself. She thought, 'Why struggle? I might as well wait for him to get tired of me like a puppet. By the time he doesn't even want to look at me and wants to get rid of me for good, I can leave quietly.' "Gloria, stop cursing Gabrielle. She's dead, and you're still alive. Don't you think it's pathetic to become a bitter woman because of someone long gone? It's not worth it." Patrick didn't think Gabrielle was worth Gloria making herself hideous. Gloria was slightly stunned. For a moment, she thought Patrick was concerned about her. How could that be? The next second, Gloria found herself being lifted. Before she could figure out what was going on, she subconsciously reached out and wrapped her arms around Patrick's neck. Patrick felt her grip, and the corners of his mouth curled up imperceptibly. He held her in his arms and strolled out of the ward. He said, "We'll leave now." Patrick carried Glo
Camille was pushed to the ground, yet she was not angry. She said patiently, "Alger, calm down. Listen to what Gloria has to say. You shouldn't have hit her no matter what." Gloria's face turned pale. She quickly helped Camille up, but her wrist was grabbed by someone. Alger said, "Don't touch your mother with your dirty hands!" His words stunned Gloria. She froze there like a statue. Then she said, "Alpha Alger, please let go. Don't touch me, I'm a dirty woman, or you'll get dirty, too." Alger fiercely waved Gloria's arm away and said, "You have a sharp tongue, Gloria. Explain this to me. The money on the table!" He fiercely pointed at the cloth bag on the table. "How did you get it?" Gloria kept her head down. Alger and Camille never got a good look at Gloria from the beginning. They only knew that it was Gloria who lived here, since Gloria was their daughter, and they got the information from the detective agency. G
