The oppression from the man's Alpha aura was strong, which made Gloria feel a little uneasy.
The man noticed Gloria's gaze toward him, and he kissed the woman in his arms even more passionately. His golden eyes seemed brighter than stars, and his playful gaze rested on Gloria. Gloria quickly lowered her head. She stepped forward and turned to leave the elevator. "Stop!" Gloria heard the voice coming from behind. She did not want to cause trouble, especially not to bother the powerful Alpha and his human companion. She couldn't guess what the werewolf was here for. Gloria thought for a second and slightly bowed to the man. She said in a respectful tone, "Please forgive me, sir. I'm just a cleaner here and was on my way to clean the private room. I didn't mean to disturb you, and I hope you will forgive me." Gloria's voice was rough and hoarse, yet the man was not surprised. He looked at Gloria curiously and asked, "A cleaner? So young?" Gloria nodded and did not speak. She was not worried that this werewolf would sense her wolf. After all, she had worked in Fittro Club for so long, and Christine had not discovered that. The man looked at Gloria and said, "Which floor? Come in." Gloria gave the man a strange look. She hesitated for a while before walking into the elevator. Then, she pressed the button. The woman in his arms turned around, and Gloria saw her face. She was one of the call girls at Fittro Club, Yuna Carr. It was probably not her real name. Yuna knew Gloria too. Gloria was nothing to be compared with Yuna since she was tall with a hot figure. So, Yuna did not see Gloria as a rival. Just as the doors were about to close, the man suddenly pressed the button to open them. He turned to Yuna and said, "You don't need to follow me. Go first." A trace of embarrassment appeared on Yuna's face. She was not mad. She pouted and asked, "Mr. Fisher, I'd like to go with you. We had such a good time. Why do you want me to leave?" Mr. Fisher took out a black bank card before she finished her words. He smiled and said, "Go shopping now, you can spend as much as you want. Just sign my name." Yuna's face lit up with surprise. She took the bank card and quickly left the elevator. Gloria stood aside and watched the scene silently. She could see the ridicule in the man's eyes. The man suddenly looked at Gloria and asked with a smile, "What? Do you want a bank card too?" "No, Mr. Fisher," Gloria replied and lowered her head. He was a strong man, and one could tell by the strength of his muscles all over his body. At some point, he had come close to Gloria. Gloria was not very tall, and when the man drew near, she seemed even shorter. The man leaned close to her ear. "You can call me Derrick. Are there any employees at Fittro Club who don't love money? You don't have to deny it. As long as you are willing to act like Yuna, you can also get my money." Gloria only felt a hot breath in her ear and took a quick step back. Her legs were once injured, so she staggered and was prepared to take a fall. At that moment, Derrick reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist. "Please... Please let go of me," Gloria said in a panic. She had never been hugged by a man so intimately. Derrick reached out his other hand to cover Gloria's mouth. He said impatiently, "Shut up! That's strange. Most people will scream when they fall, but you don't. But why do you scream now?" "Please let go of me." Gloria's voice was still hoarse. Derrick looked at her and suddenly thought of something. He couldn't help but ask, "You didn't shout because I was holding you, right?" Gloria suddenly blushed, though she was usually calm. "It seems that it is true." Derrick laughed in a strange tone. Derrick looked at Gloria's red ears and hugged her tightly as if he was playing a prank. All of a sudden, Gloria's face turned red, and Derrick found it amusing. At Fittro Club, it was hard to find a woman who would blush only because of a man hugging her. Derrick was excited. He wanted to continue flirting with Gloria, so he touched her waist and reached his hand into the hem of her clothes. However, when his hand touched the skin on Gloria's waist, he was shocked. Gloria struggled to push Derrick away. Derrick looked at Gloria with a stunned expression. "Your waist..." He didn't know what to say. When he touched Gloria just now, he wondered if he was touching a normal woman's waist. Derrick had flirted with countless women. He had yet to meet his mate, so he enjoyed his life very much. Among the women he had been with, werewolves or humans, they all had graceful figures. But none of them had such a slender waist as Gloria. "You..." Derrick opened his mouth several times. "So, is this the reason why you wear so much clothes on such a hot day?" However, he could not say anything. He noticed that the strange woman in front of him was in pain, but she pretended not to care. He could tell that she wanted to complain, but her eyes remained humble. Derrick could not understand how one's eyes could be flamboyant and humble at the same time, or how she could have mingled two emotions so utterly contradictory. Gloria pushed him away. She wanted to leave, but the elevator door had closed. She could only lean against the doors and take a deep breath. When the elevator doors opened, she broke into a run. She couldn't run fast at all and fell in less than two steps. But she didn't care and propped herself up, holding the wall and moving as fast as possible. It seemed that the most unbearable thing about her had been discovered. Gloria wanted to live a peaceful life with food and shelter. She wanted to save some money, and go to the seaside to enjoy her life. She didn't want more changes in life. Derrick wanted to help Gloria, and he didn't need to run at all. He slowed down as he watched Gloria moving forward.Gloria arrived in the private room. She felt the air was strange in the room as she entered. In the dim light, a few guests sat on the sofa with several call girls. Only Lillian stood in the middle of the room. When Lillian saw Gloria, she immediately shouted, "Gloria, help me!" The guests sitting on the sofa suddenly focused on Gloria, who became nervous in an instant. Some of the guests were werewolves. Gloria was startled, and her body tensed up for a moment. "I'm here to clean." As she spoke, her unpleasant voice was exposed. With that hoarse voice, the guests lost interest in her and turned back to Lillian. Gloria had been working at Fittro Club for a few months, and she knew how to keep her job. So, she learned not to poke into other people's business. Therefore, she ignored Lillian's pleading look toward her. Gloria was just a cleaner and could barely support herself. How could she help others? Moreover, Lillian was only a human and she had parents to
Gloria raised her head. She looked at the powerful man sitting on the sofa... What did he just say? He was her mate. Years ago, she didn't accept his rejection. Therefore, she was still his mate. How could he ask her to kiss another man? Gloria stared at Patrick and her eyes were filled with desperation. Patrick enjoyed the look in Gloria's eyes and believed that she would reject his request. Any woman would choose to drink rather than kiss a strange man. "Can you ask me to do something else?" Gloria begged. Patrick sneered, "You don't get to negotiate with me." Gloria crawled on the ground. She reached out her hand to touch the ugly scar on the left side of her waist. That was the only time she shifted at the werewolf prison because she couldn't bear the torment anymore. Then, other werewolves also shifted and bit her on her waist. Later, they treated her wound with wolf poison. After Gloria turned back to her human form, she became very weak and her wounds wouldn
Derrick looked at Patrick. Both of their packs were very powerful in Nevada, and they were both enemies and friends. Derrick glanced at Gloria, who was pulled behind Patrick. To his surprise, Gloria’s ears were red. “Hey, was this your first kiss?”Gloria’s blushed face was the answer. Derrick did not realize that and was in an extremely good mood right now. He looked at Patrick with a faint smile. “What if I take her away by force?” "You idiot! He's coveting our mate! He's provoking us! Tear him apart!" Leo's roar echoed in Patrick's mind. Since Patrick rejected Gloria, his wolf Leo had a strong resentment towards him, but at this moment, his wolf suddenly had a very strong reaction. "Shut up!" Patrick clenched his fist and shouted to Leo in his mind. Dealing with the anger of Leo in his mind had already made Patrick impatient, but he still looked calmly at Derrick. Stewart whistled and said to another man,“Sean, take out your phone and record this scene now! If it
For a moment, Gloria thought she was already dead. Then, she was overwhelmed by pain. She opened her eyes after a few seconds and found herself lying on the lawn. Thank God, though she was wolfless, her wolf instinct still protected her while she was falling. She tried to get up and she felt a huge pain in her ankle. But she had no time to check on it. She knew that the gammas were always around Patrick and would chase after her soon. All she could do now was to run. saw Gloria She ran past two blocks and stopped a taxi. “I want to go to Austin!” Gloria said. “Money!” The driver looked impatient and wouldn’t drive without money paid in advance. Gloria was stunned for a moment and then said, “What?” “Give me the money.” The driver was in a bad mood. So, he was impatient when he saw Gloria, who looked weak and skinny. “Shouldn’t I pay you when we arrive?”Gloria frowned. He said, “Hurry up and give me the money, or I won’t drive!” Gloria panicked. Patrick’s men w
Gloria didn't want to go over, but she dared not to do so. Her feet seemed to have betrayed her as she got out of the car. She walked slowly toward Patrick. Patrick first glanced at Gloria's legs and then at her face. He mocked, "Do you enjoy this? Miss Carter, why are you wasting time?" Gloria's breathing stopped for a moment, and she pinched her thigh. She knew that Patrick was sure she was slow because she was trying to stall deliberately. She hoped that it was really as he said. She was only stalling. But the truth... Gloria gritted her teeth and walked faster. Then, she felt pain and pinched herself harder. Patrick saw her speed up and smiled slightly. He said to himself with satisfaction, 'That's right. A toy should act more like a toy.' Patrick reached out his hand and held the woman in front of him. He exhaled the last puff of smoke and took the cigarette between his fingers. Without looking at it, one of his guys took over the cigarett
"Do you still remember that you are a werewolf? You looked so cowardly when you beg for mercy, which makes me sick," Patrick said coldly. "If the members of the Silver Spring Pack knew that their Alpha's daughter was so weak and incompetent, what would they think?" Gloria's body swayed. She thought that she could accept all of this calmly and would never be sad again. The daughter of the Alpha of the Silver Spring Pack? Gloria smiled bitterly. It was Patrick who had asked Damon to go to the Silver Spring Pack to deliver his statement. Because of that, her father had to expel her from the pack. She was no longer a member of the Silver Spring Pack. Now, she was just a rogue who had once stayed in the werewolf prison for three years and lost everything. Patrick was mad since Gloria didn't defend herself. She still faced down on the ground. "Even if I humiliate her in front of so many people, does she remain indifferent? Is the woman in front of me really Gloria? Di
All Patrick did was push Gloria to her limits. He had yet to realize that deep down in his heart, he wanted the arrogant Gloria. In the past, she would say to him, "If Gabrielle becomes your mate, I'll give up on you!" However, now, she was a lowly wretch who only knew how to apologize! Patrick was even less aware that behind all his methods of coercing Gloria was a truth he could not accept. He was the one who changed her! Patrick found a seemingly reasonable excuse for himself. The reason he humiliated Gloria was that she killed Gabrielle. Christine heard Patrick's words clearly this time. He asked her to transfer Gloria to the Public Relations Department. The Public Relations Department of Fittro Club was basically in charge of calling girls. Christine glanced at the pale-faced Gloria and said, "I understand, Mr. Hammond." From her experience, Christine had a hunch that something unusual was going on between Gloria and Patrick. She had never
Gloria had a large, deep gash across her waist, and it looked as if she had been bitten by a huge beast. Christine was also a werewolf. So, she knew what this meant. "Are you a werewolf?" Christine looked at Gloria in surprise and asked, "But why can't I sense it?" Gloria was bitten by a wolf, but werewolves had great healing power. Even if their legs were broken, they could recover quickly. However, the wound on Gloria's waist was not fully recovered. "I have been in the werewolf prison for three years. I don't have a wolf anymore," Gloria said calmly. Christine's eyes widened because what had happened to Gloria was beyond her imagination. She said in surprise, "How could your wolf disappear?" "It's true. Ever since I was injured, I couldn't sense my wolf. That's why you couldn't sense that I was a werewolf," Gloria spoke in a calm tone. Christine knew that some werewolves were born without wolves, yet she had never met a werewolf whose wolf had disap
Luana never expected that after Cline let Calvert in, he would continue to kiss her.It wasn't until she heard Calvert's voice that she understood his intention.Although she had already let go of Calvert, seeing his eyes turn bloodshot with despair still startled her.She couldn't help but feel that the man struggling to rush towards them wasn't Calvert, but Albion.Because only Albion would lose control when he saw her being hurt by another man.Instinctively not wanting to upset Albion, she struggled desperately.But the more she struggled, the harder Cline kissed her, even going so far as to slide his slender fingers inside her clothes right in front of Calvert."Cline, don't touch her!" Calvert roared in a fit of madness, wishing he could rush over and kill Cline.But his body was pinned down by the bodyguard, leaving him helpless as he watched Cline take possession of Luana bit by bit.Luana forcefully pushed Cline
"So you did plan this with him!" Cline's cold, emotionless voice came from above Luana's head, making her pause for a moment."I didn't.""Then how did he know you were here?""I'm not sure, maybe it's because..." Her explanation was cut short by Cline's cold interruption."Stop making excuses. Getting your bag back wasn't just to contact him, was it?"Seeing Cline's stubborn and indifferent expression, Luana fell silent.He had already made up his mind that she had contacted Calvert to pick her up. No amount of explanation would convince him; it was futile."He comes to pick you up as soon as you're recovering. If that's not premeditated, then what is it?" Cline's distrust and relentless questioning left Luana feeling exhausted.She took a deep breath and replied indifferently, "Yes, I did arrange with him. The day I could walk again, I asked him to come and get me."Hearing her admission, Cline's lips curled into a col
"Remember to use the scar-removing medicine," Eva said. With her delicate and elegant appearance, she was the epitome of beauty—her face couldn't afford to be marred by scars.Eva nodded in agreement and left with her medical bag.As the dean of a private hospital, her schedule was usually quite busy.Had it not been for Cline, it would have been nearly impossible to get an appointment with her.Thinking of Cline, Luana felt a lump in her chest.She couldn't understand his intentions. He was about to get married to his fiancée, yet he kept her locked up at home.Did he want Runa and yet couldn't bear to let go of her?If that was the case, Cline was being incredibly greedy.Luana glanced at the floor-to-ceiling windows. At some point, the sky had darkened and a heavy downpour had begun.The weather matched her mood perfectly, prompting a deep sigh from her.As she sat on the bed, hugging her legs and
"Only a day apart, and you're already missing each other so much. It seems your old flame has been rekindled?"Faced with his sarcastic remark, Luana didn't bother to explain. She simply lowered her long eyelashes, hiding the discomfort in her eyes.Seeing her silence, Cline's face turned even colder. His grip on her chin tightened uncontrollably."Didn't you say you didn't love him anymore? Why are you rekindling your old relationship?"Luana endured the pain in her chin and forced a smile at Cline."If I can be your lover for years without loving you, why can't I rekindle my relationship with him?"It wasn't clear whether it was the first part of her sentence that choked Cline or the latter that left him speechless, but it made him so angry that he couldn't find words.Luana glanced up at him and saw his usually frosty, charming eyes gradually turn bloodshot. Her heart jolted, but she quickly suppressed the involuntary feelings that
Calvert seemed to have lost the strength to speak, only managing a faint nod.Clarissa knew his stubborn nature from childhood. Trying to persuade him to leave would be futile. So she steeled herself and told him the truth."Every time Luana is taken away by Cline, she won't be back in less than two or three days. You can't just keep squatting here, can you?"Judging by his reaction, it seemed he already knew who Luana had sold herself to back then.Since that was the case, there was no harm in telling him the truth. He wouldn't stand a chance against that man anyway.Clarissa's words hit Calvert like a sledgehammer, delivering a fatal blow."Every time?" he asked incredulously, his bloodshot eyes slowly turning towards Clarissa. "For these five years... she's been with Cline?""Mm-hmm," Clarissa replied indifferently. That single word, however, almost caused Calvert to collapse.He had thought she had only sold herself once, b
Hearing this, Luana felt even more guilty. "Clarissa, he got hurt trying to save me. Could you tell him to go back to the hospital first? I'll come to see him in a few days."Clarissa latched onto the key phrase. "Save you? What's going on?"Luana briefly explained the incident with Travis's private revenge.Upon learning the truth, Clarissa shouted that she wanted to teach Travis a lesson.However, upon hearing that Cline had already dealt with Travis, she immediately fell silent."So... you're with Cline now?"Luana could only nod in affirmation, not daring to hide anything from Clarissa.Clarissa sighed deeply and muttered, "What a complicated relationship," before hanging up the phone.She put her phone in her pocket and, carrying a large pot of corn chowder, walked towards the entrance of the small apartment.She had been excited to bring the soup to Luana to help her regain her strength, but as soon as she stepped
After Eva left, Cline glanced towards the guest bedroom and noticed the door was ajar. His expression darkened immediately.He unconsciously quickened his pace and entered the room, only to see Luana adjusting the IV drip.Her small, palm-sized face showed no significant emotional fluctuation. She remained as gentle and well-behaved as before.She even smiled at him when he entered, which dispelled his doubts.The volume of his conversation with Eva hadn't been loud enough for her to overhear.Cline subconsciously let out a breath of relief and sat down beside her bed, asking, "Feeling better?"Luana nodded and replied, "A bit better."Then, they fell into silence. The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.Seeing that Cline had no intention of leaving, Luana couldn't help but speak up, "Mr. Moriarty, could you help me find my bag?"Her bag had been left in the banquet hall at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Her phone and other belon
Cline finally put down the vegetable salad and picked up a napkin to wipe the corners of her mouth.In the five years she had been with him, he had never taken care of her like this. Luana was utterly shocked.She stared blankly at the man in front of her with her clear, innocent eyes, feeling as if all of this was surreal.Cline, however, didn't seem to find anything amiss. He calmly wiped her mouth with the napkin.After cleaning her up, he took out his phone and called Eva. He asked Eva to bring medical equipment to the villa.Hearing this, Luana quickly snapped out of her daze and said, "I'll be fine with just some rest. There's no need to trouble Dr. Eva."Cline glanced at her coldly, his tone domineering and brooking no refusal. "Whether it's troublesome or not, I'm the one who decides."Luana had no choice but to keep quiet and let him arrange everything...When Eva pushed a cart full of instruments into the room, Cline
Cline coldly interrupted him, "No meeting."Russell immediately seemed a bit embarrassed. "Mr. Moriarty, he is, after all, the CEO of Coburn Group. Right now, people from Coburn Group are constantly asking me for him. I can't keep him locked up forever..."Russell's meaning was clear—he could withstand the pressure for a while, but not for long.Cline's face darkened as he thought for a few seconds, and finally relented, "Let him go."He then hung up the phone directly and looked at Luana, who was examining him.In fact, Luana had already guessed who he was talking about and didn't ask.As long as he was willing to release Calvert, she could thank him later once she had recovered a bit.Cline stared at the IV drip for a while until the liquid in the bottle was completely gone, then he helped her remove the needle.Luana glanced at the three bottles of medicine still on the side. Logically, they should be administered one
