At noon the next day, Annette heard that Kyle did not come to work again.
In the afternoon, the new president took office.
The new president was a middle-aged werewolf from the Giant Wood Pack. In the meeting, he left a good impression on the others.
After the meeting, he met the teachers and student instructors in the school.
Three days later, it was Annette's turn.
Annette walked forward and said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Crace. I am Annette, the new student instructor."
"Annette, it's no longer the same as before. If you need anything at work, just tell me. I'll help you," Darren said with a smile.
Annette was a little embarrassed. "Thank you, Mr. Crace."
"May I ask a private question?" Darren suddenly said.
"Yes."
"Ms. Hall, what is the relationship between you and Alpha Connor?"
Annette frowned. Why would Darren mention Connor in front of her?
Annette was puzzled. She looked at Darren and said, "Mr. Crace. Why do you ask so?"
"Please don't get me wrong. I'm from the Giant Wood Pack. And we have a good relationship with the Blood Moon Pack. Alpha Connor told me to take good care of you. So, I'm just a little curious."
Annette said inwardly, frowning, 'Why did Connor always cause trouble for me?'
"I tutored Marcus from the Blood Moon Pack before, so I got to know Alpha Connor."
"I see. I know Marcus is also in our school and is your student. If it's OK with you, call Marcus and the three of us should go for a meal."
Annette smiled politely and said, "Mr. Crace, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm afraid that Marcus and I can't have a meal with you. Marcus doesn't want anyone to know his identity and doesn't like to be in contact with strangers. He keeps a low profile all the time."
Annette didn't want to refuse him directly, so she used Marcus as an excuse and she felt more confident with such an excuse.
"Is Marcus such a private person?"
"Yes." Annette nodded.
"Alright then. I will invite Alpha Connor out for a meal. You can come with him. I will not invite Marcus."
Annette was stunned for a moment. She hated private gatherings even more.
After leaving the president's office, she was a little depressed.
Previously, Fiona hated her because of Kyle.
Now, the new president was kind to her because of Connor.
It seemed that the Moon Goddess finally heard her.
After she finished work in the afternoon, Annette and Sara chatted as they left the office building.
Kyle came over. He was standing beside the flower bed by the entrance with a serious face.
As they saw Kyle, Sara said goodbye to Annette and left.
Kyle stood in place and did not move, staring straight at Annette.
Annette hesitated for a moment before walking to him.
Kyle's eyes were bloodshot. With unshaven stubbles, he looked completely different from his usual lively image.
"Are you a member of the Black Thorn Pack?"
Annette paused for a moment and then shouted angrily, "Kyle!"
She hated this.
Connor had investigated her, and Kyle did the same thing.
More and more people knew about her relationship with the Black Thorn Pack, which made her feel very disturbed.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Kyle was also a little angry. "Have you ever trusted me?"
He looked sad. "Whether you admit it or not, I loved you so much. I didn't hide any secrets from you, but what about you?"
"Kyle, I told you not to investigate me." Annette sounded desolate. "Everyone has secrets that they don't want others to know. Since I don't want to mention it, you should know what it meant to me. Should I tell everyone that I am the illegitimate daughter of the Alpha of the Black Thorn Pack, and everyone there hates me and even wants me to die?"
Annette looked at Kyle with resentment in her eyes. "Do you know the feeling of being abandoned by your father from the moment you were born? You know nothing! You are in no place to question me! Now, you are rubbing salt into the wound by doing such a thing. Are you satisfied?"
Annette roared in a hoarse voice and looked desperate. Kyle suddenly realized that he had gone too far.
He took a step forward and was about to hold her arms.
However, Annette took a step back and kept her distance from him.
Kyle's voice was much softer. "Annette, I don't know about it. I didn't expect..."
"I told you not to investigate me, but you insisted on doing that. Kyle, you keep saying that you love me, but to me, your love is like poison. You are always so selfish. You only care about your own feelings. I regretted it a lot. If time can turn back, I will never accept you and give you and your mother any chance to hurt me."
Annette's voice was trembling, but her eyes were sharp.
After that, she turned and left quickly.
Kyle frowned as he looked at her back. Annette was angry.
He had never seen Annette so angry and hysterical.
This was the first time.
He did not chase after her because he was not sure that he could calm her down.
Kyle clenched his fists. These days, he had been struggling inside because of Annette's identity. He thought that Annette had lied to him. After all, if Fiona knew that Annette was a member of the Black Thorn Pack, she would not object to their relationship.
He did not expect that the Black Thorn Pack would not announce Annette's identity because they did not accept her.
He understood the anger, sadness, and despair in Annette's eyes.
Kyle regretted not listening to Annette and insisted on investigating her.
Annette ran to the school gate. When she saw Leonard's car, she walked toward it and got into the car.
After Leonard got in the car, Annette said, "Leonard, can you drive me to my apartment first?"
"OK, Ms. Hall."
Annette got out of the car and went back to the apartment building alone.
Next to the bush near her apartment building, two men were sitting on the ground, chatting. One was carrying a camera, and the other was with a microphone.
Maybe they thought that Annette was not coming home but only passing by, so they did not pay much attention to her.
Annette took a few steps and left quickly.
She was upset and thought, 'Are they going to stay here forever?'
