Chapter 2:

Gabrielle's POV "You have to save your blood for Kelly's emergency use, you can't just waste it," Ethan said. My heart sank. How could Ethan care about me? In all these years, he had never spoken to me except to get me to donate blood to Kelly. I held back my tears and nodded speechlessly. Ethan didn't look at me again and walked past me. Kelly happily continued to hug him: "Ethan, why did you leave work so early today?" "Nothing to do, came back to see you." I pretended not to hear, covered the wound on my forehead with my hand, and was about to go upstairs to the bathroom to take care of it when I received a message. "I know that he didn't mark you. Your mate bond is vulnerable. You are just a bitch who took other people's mate." "Bitch?" "Is she abusing me?" Did I give up my family, friends, and my life to run the family business just to be called a bitch? Then, the other party sent me a photo of Ethan and Kelly together, looking like an intimate couple. In the past three years since we got married, we have never been that close to each other. This was not the first time that Kelly had provoked me. In the past, I could choose to laugh at her harsh words, but this photo was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Disappointment, helplessness, embarrassment... These emotions swept through my body. I was the third person in this marriage. "By the way, Ethan, I've got a present for you! Wait for me!" Kelly finished and ran up the stairs at a fast pace. I kept staring at her through clenched teeth. As she passed me, she suddenly whispered, "Gabrielle, like the present I just gave you?" "Kelly, you!" Just as the words left my mouth, Kelly suddenly screamed and fell backward. "Ah!" I froze, and when I reacted, Kelly had already rolled down the stairs. Ethan rushed over and picked her up, took one look at Kelly's bleeding left leg, gritted his teeth, and yelled down at me, "Gabrielle, why did you do that?!" "No ...... I didn't ......Ethan ...... it wasn't me!" Kelly falsely grabbed Ethan's collar, "Ethan, don't blame Gabrielle, it had nothing to do with her, I fell by accident ......" "And you're harboring her! Kelly, you're so stupid! Don't talk, I'll take you to the hospital!" Ethan picked Kelly up in his arms and rushed out the door. At the same time, without looking back, he gave me an order, "Go to the hospital! Donate blood to Kelly!" My heart was as cold as a block of ice. Incredibly hard ice. I went to the hospital in silence and Ethan was anxiously directing the doctors and nurses to look after Kelly. As soon as he saw me, he grabbed my wrist and shouted at the doctor, "Here she is, draw her blood!" I sneered and asked him back, "Ethan, did you see that my forehead is still bleeding?" Ethan didn't look at me and said coldly, "Kelly has hemophilia, she can't lose blood. You're not the same!" I was different. Indeed, in Ethan's eyes, I'm not the same as Kelly. I will never be the same as her. But when did I, Gabrielle, ever get to this point of bitchiness? Enough is enough. I slammed Ethan's hand away, and Ethan looked at me with incredulous eyes. I said to Ethan with no expression on my face, "I want to reject you." Ethan was stunned, then be angry, "Gabrielle, stop fooling around! You can’t reject me!" His voice was cold, but I could sense his panic. It was the first time in our marriage that I had seen him like this. I was surprised that even the great Alpha Conner would panic. Wasn't he heartless? "What are you dissatisfied with? Is it because you donated more blood to Kelly this month? Everything, name it and I can compensate you." "I want to reject you." I raised my head and met his cold eyes. I answered in a calm voice. I didn't want to say anything more to Ethan. After all, what we cared about was not the same thing. The man in front of me had distinct facial features and was handsome and upright. I was still obsessed with him, but now that I saw Ethan again, my heart became unusually calm. "Gabrielle, don't regret it!" He gnashed his teeth and warned me. "What I regret the most is the marriage with you three years ago." I smiled bitterly. On the road of love, I had already hit my head hard and bled. Everything was enough, it was really enough! I stood up and looked at Ethan coldly. "Listen to me!" I took a deep breath and said, "I, Gabrielle Fisher, will reject you, Ethan Conner, as my mate." Ethan's face darkened as anger, shock, and disbelief overtook him. Finally, after a moment, he spoke, "I accept your rejection." In just a few minutes, my three-year marriage with Ethan came to an end hastily. At the moment when I rejected him, my heart trembled violently, and the huge pain made me breathless. I was secretly glad that my wolf had been sleeping because of an accident in my childhood. Otherwise, my wolf would suffer the same pain as me. “Go, do the blood drawn." Ethan didn't say anything to save it, and he didn't even want to look at me, but he still didn't forget the last bit of my value. I looked at him with a sneer. "Ethan, even if she dies in front of me in the future, I will not waste a drop of blood to save her." Ethan's expression suddenly darkened. "Kelly is sick, and you're cursing her like this? Don't forget that the condition of your marriage was to donate blood at any time." At that moment, my heart felt as if it had been stabbed by a sharp weapon. Looking at the indifferent man, my mouth widened in an instant, and I smiled presumptuously and coldly. "Ethan, I didn’t forget anything. It's time for me to clear everything up." Finally, I glanced at Ethan indifferently and turned to Kelly’s patient room. Ethan’s POV I looked at Gabrielle's departing figure, and my face suddenly darkened. I could tolerate her pushing her luck, but I couldn't tolerate her being confused all the time. She rejected me without hesitation, which made me inexplicably annoyed. Did Gabrielle think that she was the only one who could donate blood to Kelly? Gabrielle seemed to be different today, but I couldn't describe it. I could feel that something was getting out of my control. After three years of marriage life, I thought I knew her very well. She pestered me before marriage and was gentle and obedient in our marriage. Recently, Kelly needed donated blood more often. In fact, I felt a little guilty. She didn't refuse, and I'm willing to compensate her. What's wrong with her? "To think that I thought Gabrielle was a qualified wife." As long as she doesn't get into trouble and listens to me, I can let her keep the identity of "Silver Moon Pack Luna" forever. However, she suddenly made such a scene today. Was she threatening me? Don't even think about it! Forget it. I don't care about the divorce anyway. My wolf Max did not object. That's it. When she couldn't live on anymore, she would eventually come back to beg me. I got rid of the irritation in my heart and hurried to the hospital. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Gabrielle standing in Kelly's ward. Kelly said to her happily, "Gabrielle, it's not your fault. It's an accident! I will explain this to Ethan. I'm in poor health, so I always have to trouble you. I'm worried that your body won't be able to take it." Gabrielle approached her in silence. I frowned. Just as I was about to ask her what she was going to do, she raised her hand and slapped Kelly hard. The sound of the slap resounded through the ward. My face darkened and I rushed over to stop her. "Gabrielle, what are you doing?" What's wrong with this woman today? She actually dared to hit Kelly. Did she not take the medicine? "You sent the message, didn't you?" Gabrielle didn't look at me at all. Her eyes were fixed on Kelly. The slap made Kelly feel extremely wronged, and her eyes were filled with tears. "I really didn't do anything... Gabrielle, you misunderstood me." Gabrielle sneered and replied, "Don't pretend. I know it's you." Then, she took out a printed photo from her bag and threw it in front of us. When I saw clearly that the protagonist in the photo was Kelly and me, I was shocked and confused. In my memory, I had never slept in the same bed with Kelly. But soon, I knew what was going on. Yesterday, I was busy. Kelly came to my office to send me food. I couldn't help napping for a moment and asked her made herself at home. Presumably, it was during this period that Kelly had a chance to take photos secretly. "As I said, I'm here to get even with you. This is what you owe me, Kelly. The person who took another's mate is called a whore, and this person is you. Now you're satisfied. I hope you can be Ethan's next mate." Gabrielle's voice rose. Now, even if I was stupid, I could understand why Gabrielle was so strange today. I looked at Kelly with a sullen face. Wasn't she always well-behaved and quiet? Why did she play such a trick behind my back? Kelly might have been frightened by my cold eyes. She pulled my sleeve in a panic and explained, "Ethan, Gabrielle misunderstood me. I really didn't do anything. I didn't take any photos. I can apologize to her. If it's because of the blood donation that affects your relationship, don't go to Gabrielle in the future. I really don't know about the photos. I can swear in the name of Oscar Walter." She sobbed pitifully. Hearing the name "Oscar Walter", I couldn't help but frown. I remembered this comrade-in-arms who had fought with me in the Rogue War. Before he died, he entrusted me with this task, so I couldn't argue with Kelly anymore. I could only say, "Gabrielle was too emotional just now. She shouldn't have slapped her. Do you need to ask Pack Doctor to deal with it?" Kelly finally stopped crying. She covered half of her face with her hand and shook her head. "It's okay." After temporarily controlling Kelly's emotions, I turned to look at Gabrielle, who was standing aside. She had a sarcastic smile on her face, and her face was full of indifference. A strange emotion attacked me again. "Is that why you want to reject me?" I wanted to explain to her about the photos, but considering that Kelly's health was more important, I had to change my mind. "Forget it, you can donate blood first." Anyway, it's just an unimportant photo. I'll explain it to her when the time comes. Gabrielle heard this as if she had already expected this result. She calmly asked Pack Doctor, "Do we still need a blood transfusion to Kelly?" Pack Doctor was stunned for a moment, then glanced at me and nodded in a panic. "Yes, Miss Hayden accidentally cut her arm when she was cooking. She has severe blood loss and needs a blood transfusion." "Then what are we waiting for?" I asked coldly. "Yes." Pack Doctor quickly ran to prepare. Gabrielle was still sensible. I breathed a sigh of relief, but Gabrielle suddenly called Pack Doctor to stop. "Wait-" She stepped forward and lifted the quilt over Kelly. Then she suppressed Kelly's struggling movements and heavily pressed the styptic cotton tied to her left leg without warning! The styptic cotton immediately became even redder with blood and Kelly started screaming, "Gabrielle! Ethan, help me, she's trying to kill me!" I couldn't believe that the gentle Gabrielle would do such a thing, I grabbed Gabrielle's hand, "Stop! I was surprised that I couldn't move her hand away! How is it possible that Gabrielle, an omega, was able to counter my, Alpha Conner's, power? In shock, Gabrielle suddenly laughed coldly, "Hemophilia? Haha, Kelly, do you really have hemophilia?" After saying that, Gabrielle took out a test report and slammed it hard on Kelly's face. I took a glance at the test report and was stumped.
