Chapter 3:

Gabrielle’s POV This was the test report that I went to some lengths to get. Kelly was not suffering from hemophilia at all; on the contrary, she was completely healthy. In fact, too healthy. I sneered and asked, "Kelly, do you recognize this report? It's from your recent medical examination that was done in secret. It's written in black and white that you are not sick. You have been pretending to be sick all along, so don't act like you're not." "Gabrielle, you... Ethan, it's not like that. I'm weak, and my self-healing ability is much worse than that of a healthy Werewolf. I need a blood transfusion to recover quickly..." After being exposed by me, Kelly was still trying her best to defend herself. "Four or five times a month? I think you're trying to drain me of my blood, aren't you?" I raised my head and mocked her. "But there won't be another chance in the future. Let Ethan find another sucker for you to use as a mobile blood bank." I did not care to observe Ethan's expression behind me. After saying this, I left the ward directly. However, as soon as I walked out of the hospital, my cold facade immediately disappeared. The loneliness and pain still enveloped me tightly, as though I had been abandoned by the whole world. I sat weakly on the chair in the corridor, wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes with my hand, and dialed his number. "Brother..." A simple call had already expressed all of my grievances. The person on the other end of the line heard my exhausted voice and sighed helplessly. "Where are you? I'll pick you up." It wasn't long before I felt a pair of strong arms to pick me up from the chair in the hospital. The familiar scent of alpha blood made me feel at ease and fall asleep... Ethan’s POV After learning the truth, I grabbed Pack Doctor's neck with a gloomy face and pressed him against the wall. "Is her leg seriously injured? Do you still need blood donation to this extent? Is this your professional ability?" Every time I thought of Gabrielle's weak look after donating blood, I felt more guilty and annoyed. Had she already known Kelly's little tricks, or had she just found out? Pack Doctor answered, "This is Miss Hayden's order. It has nothing to do with us... She said that you agreed. Every time Gabrielle donated her blood, you were there. We were just following her orders. Alpha, we promise that we won't do it again..." I angrily threw the Pack Doctor aside, feeling a little annoyed about how things have gone. I spoiled Kelly too much. She dared to make trouble for Gabrielle under my nose. I have no feelings for Gabrielle. If she insists on leaving me because of a simple misunderstanding, I don't care. If she hadn't pestered me, I wouldn't have looked at her at all. With her family background and conditions, there were many people in Pack who could replace her at any time as long as I wanted. It was just that the depression in my heart had not dissipated for a long time, especially when I thought of her straightforward acceptance of the rejection, I felt suffocated and uncomfortable. After dealing with Kelly's matter impatiently, I found that Gabrielle had already disappeared in the corridor of the hospital. I tried to contact her with mind link, but she was out of reach. I took out my mobile phone and called her, only to find that her phone was turned off. I frowned and had a vague feeling that something was wrong. I asked the bodyguard at the door to track her down. A few minutes later, the bodyguard stood respectfully in front of me and said, "Alpha, we haven't found Luna. The surveillance video was suddenly hacked ten minutes ago. We can't find out where she is." "Have you searched the entire hospital?" I asked, unwilling to give up. "We've searched the whole hospital, but we didn't find any trace of Luna." I couldn't help worrying about Gabrielle's safety. I really didn't know after disengaging the mate bond, where she could go without a penny. After thinking for a while, I ordered the bodyguards again, "Send someone to look for Luna. Inform me as soon as you find her." How dare she turn off her phone? How dare she. In the past, no matter when I called Gabrielle, she would never turn off her phone. It was very abnormal. My wolf Max suddenly said, "Ethan, are you worried about the woman who was rejected by you?" "I didn't." After refuting Max, I hesitated whether I should use my contacts to find Gabrielle, but Max interrupted me. "Ethan, have you forgotten that I can see through your thoughts? Don't waste time looking for that woman. You'd better look for our real mate. I have a hunch that she will appear soon." The real mate? I was silent, but Gabrielle's face suddenly flashed through my mind. Gabrielle’s POV When I opened my eyes again, I suddenly saw the familiar luxurious decorations around me. I couldn't help but tear up again. I haven't been in this exquisite room of Italian style for several years. "What are you crying for? It's just a divorce, isn't it? Can't Black Throne Pack afford to raise you? I don't remember I, the Lycan King, have fallen so low!" An old and tough voice came. I turned my head to look. Carlos Fisher, who could shake the whole America with a stamp of his foot appeared before me in a domineering and majestic manner. "Dad!" As soon as my father walked over, I threw myself into his arms and cried bitterly. It was for no other reason than the grievances I had suffered in the past three years in Silver Moon Pack. "I really want to beat Ethan to death. Just for my precious daughter to vent her anger!" My father stroked my hair, and gritted his teeth in anger. "If it weren't for the agreement, I would have sent someone to smash the Silver Moon Pack." "In fact, my humble life in Silver Moon Pack was seen by my family, but they made an agreement with me that they would not interfere unless I regretted it." "Gabrielle, we agreed at the beginning that if he doesn't fall in love with you in three years, you will come back to inherit everything in Pack. Moreover, you must actively wake up your wolf and prepare to become the next Lycan Queen. Now, you have to keep your promise..." After I cried enough, my father spoke. "Don't worry, Dad. I won't be so stupid anymore." Previously, I was naive enough to think that true love could defeat everything, so I gave up my royal identity regardless of dissuasion. In the end, it was like a moth darting into a flame, bringing about its own destruction. Now I've seen that man clearly. He doesn't love me. No matter how painful it is, I'll forget him. His father nodded with satisfaction and said excitedly, "Okay, I'll ask your brother to accompany you to familiarize yourself with the affairs of the company first. Then, we'll choose a good day to hold a welcome dinner and officially announce your identity." I nodded. Love will betray me, but never my career. It's time to work hard. I got up from my father's arms. Before I could wipe away my tears, I was hugged by a person who was as enthusiastic as fire. "Baby, I missed you so much. Congratulations on becoming single again." It was my best friend, Elaine Lopez. I smiled bitterly and apologized to her. "It's my fault. I should have listened to you at that time. I shouldn't have married to Silver Moon Pack." Seeing Elaine, I felt very guilty. She was the first person to jump out to oppose my marriage with Ethan. However, at that time, I was determined to marry him. As time went by, we began to drift apart. Now that I saw her again, I couldn't help but tear up. Fortunately, Elaine did not argue with me. She opened my collar and carefully checked the back of my neck. Then she breathed a sigh of relief. "Ethan, that blind man, really didn't mark you! He treated pearls as fish eyes, and he will regret it." When I heard Ethan's name again, although I still felt distressed, I was not shaken at all. Very good, this was a good start. "Even if he regrets it, it has nothing to do with me. He's just a stranger to me." "Well done, baby. As long as you wave your hand, the people who chase you can line up from the door of the house to the Pacific Ocean, short of Ethan?" "Of course!" I was amused by her words. We hadn't seen each other for a long time. I held hands with Elaine and talked about a lot of things. When we were talking happily, I suddenly remembered that some of my personal belongings were still in Silver Moon Pack. Although I didn't want to, those things were very important. I had to go back. Elaine insisted on going with me. I couldn't resist her enthusiasm, so I could only agree. She drove herself, and I was sitting in the shot gun, wondering if I would meet Ethan. It would be awkward if we really met. As a result, when we returned to Silver Moon Pack, I did meet her. However, it was not Ethan, but his mother, Fiona. Seeing that I had brought Elaine back, Fiona said with great disgust, "Gabrielle, didn't I tell you earlier that this is the residence of the Silver Moon Pack Alpha? There are many confidential documents here. You can't bring anyone back. Don't you remember?" I had long been used to Fiona's sarcasm. I ignored her. I was going to take my things and leave. However, Elaine flew into a rage. "Who are you calling a casual person? You're already so old, yet you're still satirizing me?" Fiona looked at Elaine up and down, and her words were even more rude. "Don't think that you can pretend to be a member of the upper class just because you wear fake brands. I have seen a lot of women like you, who want to marry into a rich and powerful family in your dreams." "This is my friend. Please show some respect." I finally couldn't stand it anymore and retorted in a deep voice. I didn't care how she scolded me before, but I would never tolerate her scolding my friend. This was the first time that she had accused Fiona. A trace of surprise flashed across her face, and then her scolding became more unpleasant. Respect? You dirty people are not qualified to talk about respect. Gabrielle, our Silver Moon Pack can let you be the Luna. You should thank the Moon Goddess for her care. In the past three years, you have lived a good life in our house, and you forgot that you were born in a poor family? I think the people you brought here are the same as you, pariahs. Get out, don't smear the floor of our Silver Moon Pack!
