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. GCamille crouched down to help Gloria, who was on the floor. Gloria did not refuse Camille. She slowly raised her head and stopped deliberately trying to hide her broken voice. She tried to hide her hoarse voice. Even though she was in so much pain that she didn't want to speak, she didn't want her parents to hear her terrible voice. Yet right now, she suddenly realized something. They were here today to blame her. They didn't care about her voice and they did not care about her. Why would they care about her ruined voice anyway? "Alpha Alger, enough with all the fancy words. Why didn't you help me on the day I was released from the werewolf prison? Look at me. I think you have probably forgotten something. I am no longer a member of the Silver Spring Pack. I was exiled. Have you forgotten? I am a rogue now. I have no past, no family, and no background. How can a person like me find a job at a convenience store that is willing to take me on the day I get out of
Alger couldn't believe his ears. He thought, 'Did Gloria just say that Patrick owns the Fittro Club? Patrick? The Alpha of the Black Thorn Pack?' Alger couldn't help but wonder, 'Is it because of Patrick that Gloria can't change her job?' Alger was the Alpha of a pack after all. He quickly cleared his thoughts. When he figured out the reason, his expression changed drastically. He cursed, "Bitch! Did you cross Alpha Patrick again?" Gloria was more than disappointed now. She looked at the man in front of her and was stunned. She thought, 'Seriously? Is this your first reaction? To question me, what did I do to offend that terrifying Alpha? You are my father, yet you forced me to change my job. And at the mention of Patrick's name, you changed so quickly! This is who my father is, the Alpha of the Silver Spring Pack.' Gloria suppressed her disappointment and calmly told them about her experience. She said, "After I left the were
They stopped beside Alger and Camille's car. Damon was two meters away from Alger. Before Alger got in the car, he hesitated. He turned to look at Damon and said, "Beta Damon, we failed to raise that bitch properly. All the things that happened to Gabrielle were because of her. I'm so sorry, Beta Damon." Gloria would be sad if she were here as well. She hadn't even confessed yet, and her father had already done it for her. Damon's expressionless face was as serious as ever. He said indifferently, "Gabrielle has been dead for three years, and I've come to terms with that. As for Miss Carter's mistake, Miss Carter will pay for it herself, and it has nothing to do with you, Alpha Alger, and Luna Camille. I may be Gabrielle's brother, but I'm also the Beta of the Black Thorn Pack. I can distinguish between right and wrong. Alpha Alger, I heard that you went to the Elders this morning. You announced that you had disowned Miss Carter as your daughter and banished her
"Patrick, it's not because of her, right?" Sean asked as he tapped the table with his finger. Patrick didn't say anything. Stewart leaned forward and asked with a gossipy expression, "Because of her? Who?" Since Sean did not speak, Stewart smiled and asked nosily, "Alpha Patrick, have you found your mate? Which pack does she belong to? When can we get to meet her, your future Luna?" Sean said gloatingly, "Stewart, I think you will get beaten if you ask more." "Go away! I'm asking Patrick. Alpha Patrick, who is the woman?" continued Stewart. In the next second, a fist came toward Stewart's curious face. Stewart was shocked. He quickly dodged and then patted his chest. "What the fuck! Patrick, you caught me off guard!" Sean smiled and said, "Idiot. What did I say? If you ask more, you will get beaten up. You didn't believe me. You deserve it." Stewart looked suspiciously between Sean and Patrick. Suddenly, he realized something. He sa
"If I were you, I would send her away," Sean said. Then he reminded Patrick indifferently, "She had everything to do with Gabrielle's death. Patrick, you're just shocked at how much Gloria has changed. After all, the members of the two packs grew up together. Therefore, you're shocked by the change in her. That's all. Patrick was silent for a moment. Then he said, "Let me think it through." As the Alpha of the Black Thorn Pack, Patrick had been taught that he didn't need a mate from a young age. He shouldn't be affected by feelings. Therefore, he had never been in a relationship, and now he failed to figure out what he wanted. However, no matter how bad he was at relationships, he was aware of his change. He couldn't turn a blind eye to Gloria. He could not strangle her, the damned woman, though she had become so hideous now! Sean and Stewart left Patrick's office. Stewart pulled Sean. "Why did you say that to him on purpose?" Stewart knew.
"Yes, I'm waiting for you," Derrick said briskly. "Gloria, you haven't answered me yet. The last time we talked, I wanted you to be my mate. Do you agree?" Gloria remembered the thing Derrick mentioned, but as she recalled, she rejected him the last time. Therefore, she was stunned right now. "I went to Italy a while ago. I came here as soon as I got back to Gabbs. I knew I'd see you here. Gloria, I want you to be my mate." Gloria's heart beat faster. She looked into Derrick's eyes, which were completely different from Patrick's. She gawked at Derrick's handsome face, which was so close to her. Gloria's mind went blank. She looked at Derrick in a daze. "Gloria, if you keep staring at me like this, I'm gonna..." Suddenly, she heard his voice with a smile. Gloria raised her head in a trance. She blinked and asked doubtfully, "What?" Derrick was amused by Gloria's reaction. He couldn't help but grin and say, "This." He lowered his head as soon as he finished speaking. Imm
Gloria's silence upset Derrick a little. He plucked up his courage again and said to her, "Gloria, you should give yourself a chance. Don't refuse me so quickly, even if you don't want to be my mate now. You have the right to be happy, and you will live a happy life." Gloria seemed to be touched, and Derrick continued, "Gloria, you can't live with your memories forever. Forget him. No matter how unhappy the past was, I believe that it will be replaced by happiness between you and me." Derrick's tone was sincere, and Gloria was moved for a moment. She wanted to say yes, but she immediately came back to her senses. She was a rogue who was injured all over and controlled by Patrick. She thought that she didn't deserve any happiness. "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Fisher," said Gloria. "Gloria?" Derrick was in disbelief. "Why? Is Patrick so important to you that you won't give me a chance?" Gloria lowered her head and focused on her toes in a daze. A trace of bitterness
"Gloria, you don't need to do anything. Just stay there, and I'll come to you and hug you. Leave everything to me. If you don't give it a try, how can you taste the feeling of happiness? I won't make you sad or let you cry again." Derrick promised her and he almost convinced Gloria. Meanwhile, Patrick's voice echoed in her mind. "Gloria, do you think the current you deserve happiness?" Patrick's and Derrick's words kept repeating in Gloria's mind, and she had a headache. She roared inwardly, 'Happiness? Do I deserve it? I am a wretch! Mica died because of me! However, I am going to get the kind of happiness that everyone desires. Absurd! If Mica had not died because of me, she would have lived a happy life.' Pain, regret, self-denial, self-loathing... emotions overwhelmed her. Gloria was almost out of control. She couldn't distinguish the difference between her and Mica's happiness. She thought subconsciously tha
