Although they were prepared, Gloria and Christine were scared and closed their eyes subconsciously.
Time seemed to have stopped. Gloria didn't feel pain. She felt something warm dripping on her face, and she opened her eyes in confusion.
The next second, her eyes widened in horror.
"The dagger is made of silver. Don't you feel pain?" Gloria stared blankly at the hand that blocked Damon's dagger. Patrick's blood was dripping on her face.
Patrick's face was ashen. He pursed his lips tightly and stared at Gloria for a long time. Only when he confirmed that she was safe did he feel his heart beating again.
Patrick suppressed Leo, who was about to go berserk.
He turned around and glared at Damon, whose face was pale. Before he could say anything, Damon had fallen to the ground.
Damon's lips were bloodless. He said in a low voice, "I want to avenge Gabrielle! Gabrielle died because of her. Why is Gloria still alive?"
Damon's voice grew louder as he glared at Gloria, who was lying on the ground with hatred in his eyes.
Christine could not believe her ears. She did not expect Damon to be so shameless.
Christine wanted to tell Patrick the truth, but Damon roared, "Alpha Patrick, a life for a life! Gabrielle died so miserably. You said you would seek justice for her! Since you can't do it, I will do it myself!"
Christine was furious. Damon was so unreasonable!
She was about to say what she had heard before, but Gloria shook her head. Although Christine did not understand what Gloria meant, she shut up.
"Patrick, Gabrielle suffered from her own plot, and her death has nothing to do with me." Gloria looked up at Patrick.
"Shut up!" Before she could finish her words, Damon cursed her angrily, "How dare you mention Gabrielle again!"
"Shut up!" Patrick rebuked Damon coldly. He then looked at Gloria. "Go ahead."
"I didn't ask anyone to harm Gabrielle. She was suffocated by Damon." Gloria raised her head and asked Patrick seriously, "Do you believe what I said? Do you believe that I am innocent?"
Gloria stared at Patrick's bleeding palm.
She felt her cold heart melt from Patrick's blood.
She then turned her gaze to his face.
Gloria saw Patrick hesitate for a moment, and her heart cooled down again.
'He doesn't trust me, does he?' Gloria thought. She pursed her lips bitterly.
Christine's face was pale. She tried to untie the rope for Gloria.
Gloria helped Christine up and said to Patrick, "Christine got injured while protecting me. I'll send her to the werewolf hospital. Is your hand alright?"
She did not care what would happen to Damon.
Patrick did not know that his hesitation had once again pushed Gloria away, who was sensitive and suspicious and had been tormented by her miserable life.
He saw Christine's pale face and threw Damon aside. He asked Christine, "Can you walk?"
Christine's forehead was covered in a cold sweat. She gritted her teeth and nodded. "Yes, Alpha Patrick."
Patrick nodded and said, "Gloria, help her out first. I'll get the car."
He mind linked Leonard and asked Leonard to come to the warehouse. Then, he picked up the rope that had tied Gloria up before and tied Damon to the chair.
He had more important things to do and planned to deal with Damon later.
Patrick walked toward the door of the warehouse.
Just as he was about to catch up to Gloria and Christine, a group of people suddenly rushed over and blocked the door.
Patrick's eyes turned cold. He didn't say anything but looked warily at the people in front of them.
They were obviously targeting him. One of them walked to Patrick and said.
"Alpha Patrick, you can't leave so easily today."
"You are his people, right?" Patrick was clear about whose subordinates these people were.
Patrick ignored them and looked at Gloria and Christine with concern in his eyes.
Then, he glanced at the group of people and said, "This is between us and has nothing to do with the women. Let them go."
The leader reached out to Patrick and said, "The car key."
Patrick threw the car key at him and it fell into the leader's hand.
The leader turned around coldly and shouted, "Catch it."
Gloria reached out and grabbed the car key. She looked at Patrick and asked worriedly, "Will you be OK?"
Patrick smiled calmly, "I'll be fine. Take Christine and leave now."
As long as Gloria stayed here, he would not be at ease.
"Gloria, let's go. We can't help Alpha Patrick here and will only distract him," Christine said nervously. She pressed her belly and urged Gloria to get in the car.
Gloria got her point. Christine was right. There was nothing they could do to help.
"Stop looking. Hit the road, now," Christine said..
After they got in the car, Gloria looked at Patrick through the crowd once again.
She stepped on the accelerator and said firmly, "Christine, I'll take you to the werewolf hospital."
She did not notice that she drove much faster than the other drivers on the road.
Christine could feel how worried Gloria was.
"Christine, call all of Patrick's men over."
"Don't worry. Alpha Patrick is much stronger than you think," Christine comforted Gloria.
Meanwhile, she quickly contacted the members of the Black Thorn Pack.
"Gloria, I told you not to underestimate Alpha Patrick, right? Before Alpha Patrick arrived at the warehouse alone, he had already informed Leonard and the others. Leonard just told me that he would be there soon."
Gloria's expression eased a little after she heard Christine's words.
They soon arrived at the hospital. The doctor gave Christine a check-up and said that she would be fine. There was no silver in her blood, and she would recover quickly.
Gloria felt relieved.
"Christine..." Suddenly, Gloria hugged Christine tightly and whispered into her ear, "Christine, I'm so grateful to have a friend like you."
