Camille took Gloria's documents out and complained lovingly, "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you trust us? It wasn't easy for Alger to get those papers done because he couldn't let Alpha Patrick's suspicion."
Camille looked kind at the moment, as if she was a loving mother.
Christine heard Camille's words and had complicated feelings.
Gloria only asked Camille for her certificate, yet Camille had to have Alger's permission for it.
They still didn't treat Gloria as their daughter.
Gloria took her documents from Camille's hands. She no longer cared about Camille's pretentious love. It was nothing but harsh and ironic to her.
She glanced at the driver's license and put on a self-deprecating smile.
The name on the driver's license was "Gloria Hammond", and that was why Alger was able to hide it from Patrick.
Gloria chuckled. She tried hard to suppress the bitterness in her heart and asked Alger, "Why is it Hammond?"
Alger stammered. He could not tell her the real reason.
Alex said that since Gloria became the Luna of the Black Thorn Pack, she must change her surname to Hammond even if she died one day.
Not long ago, Alger went to see Alex to tell him about Gloria's request, and he still remembered the indifference in Alex's eyes when Alex said those words. At that time, Alger knew that Gloria wouldn't live for long.
Alex's attitude was straightforward. Only the dead Gloria could be the Luna of the Black Thorn Pack.
Alger hesitated for a moment. After all, Gloria was his daughter. This time, things were different from before. He would become the accomplice of his daughter's death.
However, in the end, Alger made a decision. For the future of the Silver Spring Pack, he was willing to sacrifice a daughter who was no longer a member of his pack.
"Gloria, do you want to see those rogues? After all, you were imprisoned because of them." Alger did not answer Gloria's question. Instead, he suddenly mentioned the rogues.
Gloria lowered her eyes to hide the mockery in them. What was the point of meeting them now?
Could time go back? Could her wolf come back?
Gloria was in too much pain.
"Alger, what had happened back then was painful for Gloria. Why did you mention it so straightforwardly in front of her? Camille chimed in and walked to Gloria caringly.
She picked up the hot chocolate from the table and said, "Gloria, don't panic. You don't have to decide in a hurry. Have some hot chocolate and take your time."
Gloria took the hot chocolate. She stood in front of Christine and said, "Christine, it's time for me to take the medicine. I left my bag in your car. Can you help me get it?"
She felt that something was off before she went out, but she was desperate to get her driver's license.
She was willing to take the risk alone, and Christine didn't have to share her burden.
Without Christine, Gloria would not have been able to leave the Black Thorn Pack. If not for that, she would never have called Christine over.
Christine looked meaningfully at Gloria.
Camille looked flustered for a moment. The next second, a smile appeared on her face. She picked up another cup of hot chocolate and handed it to Christine. She said hospitably, "Christine, this one is for you. It is so cold outside. I will get someone to get the things in the car. You don't have to do it."
Gloria pursed her lips and was about to take the cup of hot chocolate for Christine. However, Christine took it politely and took a sip in front of Camille. "Thank you."
Gloria paused and was a little nervous.
Christine did not trust the Silver Spring Pack more than Gloria did. Moreover, just as Christine said, she had experienced many things when she worked as Patrick's subordinate. She should be on guard against Camille, and why did she drink the hot chocolate given by Camille? Perhaps she had her plans.
Gloria endured her eagerness to say something.
Camille urged, "Gloria, why aren't you drinking?"
Gloria glanced at the hot chocolate in her hand. No matter what plan Christine had, she had no intention of drinking it. She said coldly to Camille, "I don't like hot chocolate."
She put down the cup in her hand and said, "Christine, let's go."
She said as she stood up. Then, she looked down at Christine beside her and asked strangely, "Christine, what's wrong?"
Before she could say another word, someone suddenly covered her nose with a handkerchief. She struggled.
Before Gloria passed out, she looked at Alger and Camille in disappointment.
She was glad that she did not stop Christine from drinking the hot chocolate just now because that was the only way to spare her life.
Alger was afraid of Patrick. As long as Christine passed out before Gloria, Alger would not take the risk of killing Christine.
If Christine was alive, Alger could find many excuses to explain it. But if Christine died, Patrick, who was ruthless yet protective toward his members, would never let this go.
When Gloria called out to Christine, Christine seemed to have already passed out, but Gloria noticed Christine's secret gesture.
Christine was telling Gloria that she was fine.
Ever since Gloria arrived at the Silver Spring Pack, she had been cautious with the food and drinks and did not touch them at all.
Though she had been cautious, she never thought that her parents could be so cold-blooded.
"What should we do now?" Camille looked nervously at Gloria and Christine, who both passed out. She pointed at Christine and asked Alger, "What should we do with her?"
"She works for Patrick, and she fainted after drinking hot chocolate. Go call Ethan over," Camille instructed.
Although Camille was in a panic, she did what Alger told her to do.
A werewolf who had just stood behind Gloria covered her mouth with a handkerchief stained with ether. He put Gloria into a large sack and carried her on his shoulder.
Ethan, the silver-haired Beta, followed behind Camille. Alger pointed at the unconscious Christine and said to him, "Take her away and set up a scene of an accidental death."
Gloria had underestimated Alger's ruthlessness.
Christine's death would raise no suspicion if she died from an accident.
