Third Person’s POV
Eugene looked up and asked, “You want to dissolve your mating because the Bloodmoon Pack has been abusing you, Ulrik has been treating you poorly, and intruders have infiltrated the Bloodmoon Pack putting your life in danger–not because I’m back, right?”
Gloria stepped forward again and suddenly hugged him.
Eugene was taken aback and quickly pushed her away, retreating several steps.
Seeing his reaction, Gloria was stunned and then tears streamed down her face .
She said despondently, “You do despise me. You really do.
Eugene gazed at her, his emotions restrained as he said, “I’ll look into the Bloodmoon Pack’s affairs.
“I don’t need you to investigate!”
Gloria shouted, on the verge of collapse. “What are you investigating? Don’t you trust me? I’m only asking you this: after I dissolve the mating, will you still want me? Do you despise me or not? Answer me this.
Faced with Gloria’s relentless questioning, Eugene took several deep breaths and found himself unable to speak.
His mind felt like a tangled mess.
He didn’t want to make promises lightly before getting to the bottom of things.
Yet, he had always felt indebted and guilty toward Gloria. After a long silence, he quietly said, “I don’t despise you. I have no right to.”
Gloria’s tearful eyes brightened instantly. “With this answer, I’m relieved, Eugene. Wait for me,” she said, and turned to leave.
Eugene wanted to call her back but remembered her words. The intrusion into the Bloodmoon Pack was likely more complicated than it seemed.
It was a matter of life and death, and Gloria might be in real danger.
He sighed deeply. He had already let Gloria down once.
If she was truly in mortal peril and wanted to dissolve their mating, he couldn’t blame her.
And if it came to that, should she return to him, he would have no reason to refuse. He should take responsibility.
Gloria walked down the mountain with her maid, her steps light and her heart full of relief .
She had guessed right–Eugene still cared for her .
She needed to find a way to dissolve her mating with Ulrik.

Once dissolved, Eugene would re–mate with her, making her the mate of a Golden Gamma . Gaining the corresponding social status and respect would then be within reach.
Compared to her excitement, her maid was terrified.
She had overheard most of their conversation from a distance.

Gloria planned to dissolve her mating with Ulrik and re–mate with Eugene, and it seemed Eugene agreed .
Back at the pack, the maid used the excuse of shopping to visit the Ironclaw Pack.
She was brought before Christine and reported everything she had heard.
After listening, Christine sighed helplessly.
She knew that despite all precautions, they couldn’t prevent this outcome.
She thought to herself, Gloria claimed to be in mortal danger–how could Eugene not care?
Knowing Eugene’s loyal nature, she dismissed the maid and instructed her to report any developments.
“What should we do?” Christine’s maid asked worriedly. “If she really dissolves her mating with the Bloodmoon Pack, can the Ironclaw Pack’s reputation be preserved?”
“It’s out of my hands,” Christine replied after a moment’s thought. “The Bloodmoon Pack is a pit of fire . If she wants to dissolve the mating, I won’t stop her. I’ll accept her back into the Ironclaw Pack. But if she turns to Eugene, I can’t agree.”
“But Eugene seems to have agreed too, Christine. If she dissolves the mating and returns to the Hutchinson family, it might not be a bad choice,” the maid suggested.
“No way!”
Christine said firmly. “I won’t allow this to happen. After years with me, you should know me well. Besides, some things can’t be hidden forever. When she returned to the Ironclaw Pack and lost her child, we’ve only ever consulted one physician. How hard would it be to investigate?”
Christine’s maid was aware of this matter.
Trembling with fear, she said, “Surely we wouldn’t investigate without reason?”
“It’s hard to say,” Christine replied, her eyes darkening. She had been bottling up this matter for years, unable to let it go.
Her gaze turned sharp as she declared, “If she intends to do this, I’ll speak to Eugene my scif.”
“Christine, you can’t,” the maid implored. “Luna Cynthia would despise you. Moreover, it’s not proper to air our dirty laundry.”
Christine closed her eyes and rubbed her temples. These issues were causing her immense distress and a pounding headache.
The maid continued, “If you reveal this to Eugene and he causes a scene, the Ironclaw Pack’s reputation will be shattered. Please, don’t do this.”

“Moreover, if Tad finds out, he’ll be furious with you,” the maid added, thinking of Christine’s husband stationed at the Southern Border.
The thought of her husband only added to Christine’s headache.
