“See? This is you. This is what everyone thinks of you–mad, reckless, shameless, and without a shred of dignity,” she said, grabbing Gloria’s hand.
“Let’s go. You wanted to see Cynthia? Let’s go. Let’s make her furious and then you can die. Then the pack will finally have peace.”
Gloria recoiled in terror, her breathing ragged.
“No, no! I’m not like that. I’m not mad. I won’t go, I won’t!”
An omega helped Christine sit down as tears streamed down her face.
She reflected on her life since joining the Ironclaw Pack.
She had devoted herself to the pack, never neglecting Cynthia, Gloria, Tad, or even Tad’s breeder’s children.
In the early years, when the breeders caused a commotion and Tad sided with them, she had endured a lot.
She had worked tirelessly to secure Tad’s position and reputation to protect their offspring.
Everyone relied on her, but not everyone obeyed.
Over the years, only Leon and Audrey had truly supported her.
Cynthia was not malicious, just soft–hearted. Christine’s rules often fell apart because of Cynthia’s leniency.
The pack’s issues were one thing, but Gloria hád caused no end of trouble. First, she made a scene at the Hutchinsons‘ as the Bloodmoon’s Luna, then at the Blackthorn Pack. Even with the strict management of the royal house, there were guests and servants witnessing the chaos–plenty of people who loved to gossip.
If word got out, the Ironclaw Pack’s reputation, which Christine had worked so hard to maintain, would be ruined in an instant.
After calming down for a while, Christine said to Gloria, “Have you calmed down? Can we talk rationally? You need to decide: will you dissolve the mating bond and return to the Ironclaw Pack, or continue with Ulrik? If you choose the former, the Ironclaw Pack will take you back.”
Gloria was silent.
With Eugene rejecting her, she had nowhere else to go.
Returning to the Ironclaw Pack meant a life of comfort but loneliness .
No one would mate with her again; she had already been in two mating bonds.

Few she–wolves had a third mate, and she had limited options.
As the Alpha’s daughter of the Ironclaw Pack and once mated to a Golden Gamma, she could only aim for powerful Alphas or high–ranking wolves.
Moreover, she was pregnant. If she returned to the Ironclaw Pack, she would have to abort the child.
But after causing a scene at the Blackthorn Pack, they had already contacted the Bloodmoon Pack
She had even threatened to take her own life and that of her child. The Bloodmoon Pack would know about her pregnancy .
Alpha Ulrik would never let her dissolve their mating.
In truth, she couldn’t leave the Bloodmoon Pack.
Though it was in disrepair, it was still an ancient and powerful pack in name.
“I’ll go back to the Bloodmoon Pack,” she said quietly, her face showing the cold calculation that followed her madness. “But Christine, that matter is already known. You must ensure it doesn’t spread.”
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to stay at the Bloodmoon Pack either.
Christine said coldly, “I can’t promise anything. Gloria, I’ve done my best. Either live well with Ulrik or return to the Ironclaw Pack after the Bloodmoon Pack is attacked. Then there will be no issues.”
“But you were the one who wanted to go back to the Hutchinsons‘ and cause trouble for Eugene, leading to this mess,” she said.
“If this gets out, it will harm other she–wolves in the Ironclaw Pack too,” Gloria threatened. Christine sneered. “There’s nothing to be done about that when your relatives are so shameless.”
Gloria bit her lip. “You don’t have to insult me in every sentence.”
Christine said coldly, “Here’s a saying for you–fruit rots before it breeds worms; people invite shame before they are insulted.”
Gloria’s face froze, rendered speechless.
Tamara of the Bloodmoon Pack first went to the Blackthorn Pack. Later, hearing that Gloria had been taken back to the Ironclaw Pack, she immediately headed there.
Since Ulrik was on duty, he knew nothing of the matter.
With the situation becoming so unsightly, Tamara had to drag her “ailing” body to the Ironclaw Pack
s involved.
She sighed heavily. Though she wasn’t fully aware of the ins and outs, she suspected Ulr Christine didn’t elaborate, only telling her that Gloria was pregnant and should return to the pack to rest Tamara didn’t ask more but was filled with questions.
Pregnancy was usually a joyous occasion–why had Gloria caused a scene at the Blackthorn Pack ?

However, the news of Gloria’s pregnancy delighted Rosemary and Ulrik.
In the evening, Ulrik tenderly cared for Gloria as she cried silently in his arms.
Even she still felt wronged, if Ulrik treated her sincerely, life could go on.
Yet, word of Gloria’s visit to the Hutchinsons‘ quickly spread, becoming the talk of the town.
