The Abandoned Lycan Queen 9 Chapter 9 +8 Points > Bryson's POV I looked at the woman who was taking steps away fromand wondered why I was frozen in my spot. The pain was still cursing through my body, and yet I felt so numb as I stared at her retreating figure.
Why was I feeling affected? My eyes flickered when I saw Elena's footsteps halting midway, but then my heart immediately tingled with unexplainable emotions when she continued walking until she vanished from my sight.
My heart cramped in pain again, almost makingcrawl if it weren't for Glenda, who hastily supported me.
"Bryson, are you okay?" Glenda asked, but I kept silent.
'No, I'm not,' I thought as I pushed her away and went back to my study room in hopes of relaxing.
"Here, drink this, Alpha. The pain should subside and be more bearable in a few minutes." One of the pack doctors gavea potion, which I immediately gulped down.
The drink burnt through my throat, but it was incomparable to the burn and pain the mate rejection had brought my body.

"Shut up, Glenda!" My mother scolded.
I sighed in relief. I just got rejected, and the pain was still burning through my skin. All I wanted was to rest and not worry about the aftermath of what happened. "But Auntie- "There are more important things at hand," my mother coughed. "Bryson, son, I need to see a doctor and take my medicine... Everyone who specializes in my illness is expensive. How will I "Bryon, look what you've done!" Elyse stood in front of the living room, in the middle of all of 114 < Chapter 9 us, and looked atwith blwhile she had her hands on her waist.
+8 Points> Sighing in frustration, she pulled out a book record from her shoulder bag and harshly dropped it on the table. "Look! We need a whole lot of allowance for the servant's wage, not to mention our daily food and necessities! Where will we get all of these now?" I raised my arm and pinched the bridge of my nose. "Can we not talk about this now?" Elyse looked atwith disappointment before she shifted her gaze at Glenda and snickered. "Why did you even pick her?" Looking at her from head to toe, she sarcastically asked, "How did you end up liking her? There's no other woman more suitable to be a Luna than Elena." "Elyse! Watch your words!" Though I'm not in good shape right now, I'm still the Alpha and accept no disrespect.
Since the potion from the pack doctor already started taking effect, I stood up and warned her further, "Glenda is my fated mate. Show her srespect." Hearing my tone, she backed away, but that didn't stop her.
Angrily, she grabbed the record book and pursed her lips. Giving Glenda a quick, disdained glance, she sarcastically added, "I doubt if she can even bring money in our pack in the future, much more take care of your mother." I glanced at Glenda, who remained silent at the side.
Before I could even observe Glenda's reaction further, Elyse went on, "Look what you've lost! Elena took care of Aunt Courtney without complaint for a year and provided for this pack, but what did you give her in return?" She pointed at Glenda. "You betrayed Elena for this woman here, and you let Elena get bullied! I can't believe you!" I clenched my fist in anger. I don't know where Elyse was getting her guts to scold me, but her words hitso that I couldn't scold her back.
Suddenly, Elena's eyes filled with betrayal, and pain flashed before me. The way how her lips trembled when she askedabout my vow never to replace her with anyone. The sweet woman who did everything for my pack on her own for the entire year I'm gone.
And then there's Glenda... the woman who toldthat we needed Elena's money to keep the pack running.
I sighed, my head aching more from all of the chaos.
2/4 < Chapter 9 "Let's talk about this on another day," I said firmly, giving no room for more discussion.
"Son..." +8 Points > "Alpha..." "Babe..." I heard their calls, but I didn't mind them further and went straight to my room, frustratedly and furiously slamming myself down in bed.
"Did I do something wrong?" I voiced out, but it was intended for Drake, my wolf. When we got married, Elena's smiles and the glint in her eyes kept replaying in my head, mixing with Glenda's fierce skills as we battled with the Rogues during the war.
"I don't know. All I know is that I want to be with our destined mate, but..." "But what?" I urged when Drake suddenly got silent.
I felt the pain that cursed through him as he sighed. "But I can't bear to leave Elena either." I clenched my heart and closed my eyes, remembering the days I would tirelessly cto the Ironpaw Pack to spend twith Elena.
"Aren't you tired?" Elena asked while she stood in the middle of the meadows with a basket in her hand as she caught the fruits I was picking for her from the trees.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI sent her a wide smile. "I'll even wait for an eternity just to have you say yes to my proposal." I still remember how red her cheeks becthen. No matter how exhausted I was from Alpha duties and wars, I'd still find the tto pursue her.
I sighed. It still felt like yesterday, but now everything changed. "Babe!" Glenda's voice echoed as she hastily opened my door and cinside.
Jolted, I sat up. "What is it?" She pouted her pink and voluptuous lips as she approachedwith those big, bright eyes, worriedly asking, "What should we do? We didn't get Elena's money."
I gestured for her to get closer and held her hands, pulling her to stand infront of me. Looking up at her, I, asked calmly, "Can't you support the pack with me?" Why should it matter if we have money or not? We may not be as wealthy as Elena, and the pack won't be as great as before, but we could work together to keep it moving until everything gets better. < Chapter 9 +8 Points > Something glinted in her eyes that vanished so quickly. She looked down at me, and her pout deepened while her eyes glistened with sadness: " But I want to focus on helping you on the battlefield instead. You and me... together." Of course, Glenda was trained to be a warrior. She's used to being in the field instead of a housewife like Elena.
I didn't pursue the matters anymore, as the sadness in her eyes was pulling at the strings in my heart.
"Hmph! Don't worry, even if Elena leaves, I know you'll rule this pack way better than her!" she tried to ៣.
encourage me. "Who does she think she is? Noubt if she can do better things outside of this pack. She knows nothing. If she didn't have her money, no one would like her. For all we know, the king probably only pitied her! She must have acted pitifully in front of him!" "Don't worry!" she raised her arms and held my face in between her palms, making my hands automatically wrap around her waist to embrace her.
Lovingly, she said, "We will win many wars together, and you'll rule this pack greatly. We'll both have money and glory!" I smiled. "You never fail to amaze me." 'This is right. She's my fated mate. I chose the right thing,' I told myself, partly because it was what my heart said and partly to convince the half ofthat was in doubt.
"But let's not worry about that. For now..."
Glenda let out a seductive smirk as her hands slowly slid toward myn chest. Bending down, saw the sight of her cleavage, making my breathing hitch and my heartbeat accelerate. Her lips teased my ears, and she whispered, "Why don't I give you a better pain reliever?" My pants immediately tightened as I heard the meaning behind her words.
She bit her lips and pusheddown to the bed as she crawled her way on top of me.
