The air, usually carrying the scent of pine and territorial marks, was now thick with their humiliation and
rage .
As they entered the packhouse, Gloria spun around and slapped Sabrina viciously, her claws grazing Sabrina’s cheek.
The crack echoed through the stone hall .
“Ouch!” Sabrina cried, clutching her face and stumbling back, her eyes wide with shock and shame.
Gloria couldn’t maintain her Luna’s poise. Cedar pheromones burst out with fury, and her sharp howl shook the rafters, sending dust cascading down.
“How dare a Bloodmoon she – wolf bring such shame upon us? You disgraced our pack tonight! Come!”
She seized Sabrina’s wrist, her nails digging in. “We’ll see Rosemary now! She’ll deal with you, you disgrace to our bloodline!”
Sabrina had not only failed to achieve her goal at the Blackthorn Pack but also accidentally sprayed her mating pheromones onto Winslow’s gland accidentally, becoming the most embarrassing spectacle at the banquet.
Already feeling panic, shame, and anxiety, she was now slapped in public by Glor upon returning to her territory.
The stinging pain on her cheek and the indignity ignited her fury,
Her golden eyes narrowed, and a threatening growl rumbled in her throat. “Who are you calling shameless?
She swung back and slapped Gloria with all her might. “ Aren’t you the shameless one?! If you weren’t, would you be Alpha Ulrik’s Luna? Would you have gone to the Blackthorn birthday banquet to see others fall flat on their faces, only to become the biggest joke yourself?”
Gloria hadn’t anticipated that Sabrina, who had caused such a disaster and should be cowering in guilt. would dare to resist and even strike back!
The burning pain on her face and the fury of being publicly defied caused her to lose all reason.
With a low growl, she lunged again, using her Luna aura to try and drag Sabrina away. “Shut up! We’re going to see Rosemary now!”
But Sabrina wrenched her arm free, her young she–wolf strength sending Gloria sprawling to the ground, Gloria fell gracelessly, her elegant skirt covered in dust.
Sabrina loomed over Gloria, her golden wolf eyes cold and derisive . “Do you really think I’d dare do this

without Rosemary’s approval?” she sneered, her voice Inced with mockery.

Gloria fell back to the ground, her face pale with shock. “You mean Rosemary knew? You’re saying she knew you were planning to seduce Alpha Lance?
Sabrina’s eyes brimmed with resentiment. “You were there and couldn’t help at all. I tried to cling to the Blackthorn Pack for Alpha Ulrik’s sake . He was reprimanded and demoted for breaking that trash collector’s limbs because of you. Rosemary, worried about his future, orchestrated tonight’s whole thing”
Her words grew more choked, as if her actions were truly self–sacrificial for Ulrik.
Large tears fell. “Do you think I wanted to do this? To be a breeding tool? Even if Lance agreed, I’d still be mistress. As an unmarried she–wolf and the Bloodmoon Alpha’s sister, doesn’t that humiliate me? But I did it for you all. And you, ungrateful wretch , dare to hit me.”
Gloria, her world shaken , stood pale.
She’d thought Rosemary, though sharp–tongued, was principled. The Bloodmoon Pack was traditional.
But now…
She met Sabrina’s gaze. “Does Alpha Ulrik know?”
Sabrina snarled. “Does it matter? He’d agree. His career’s everything, Remember how he spurned Adelaide for Velda, seeking glory? To him, ambition trumps all.”
The pack gathered, and soon Ulrik and Rosemary arrived.
After listening to Sabrina and Gloria’s accounts and seeing the swollen marks on their faces from the slap exchange, Rosemary felt a wave of dizziness and faintness.
Ulrik looked at Sabrina and Gloria in disbelief, a surge of shame rising in his hot. He asked, “You actually went to the Blackthorn Pack to attend Priscilla’s birthday banquet?”
