Chapter 441
Third Person’s POV
“There’s no reason to use pack funds to fill her financial holes. If we must return the money, take it from my personal funds,” said Luna Cynthia.
She continued, “If she hadn’t remarried, even if Eugene returned and they parted ways, the money’s return would be insignificant. But now that she’s remarried, and Eugene is on his way back, he will likely mate again in the future.”
“It wouldn’t do for his new mate to discover Gloria spent his death pension; it’s simply unacceptable. Christine added.
Christine turned to Audrey and asked, “Audrey, do you think Luna Cynthia and I are doing the right thing?”
Audrey replied, “She’s never liked me to meddle in her affairs, and she turns a deaf ear to my words. Please, leave the decision to you and Luna Cynthia.”
“Very well, then. Send for Gloria to return to the Ironclaw Pack,” Christine declared.
A light rain had been falling for several days..
When Gloria stepped out of the car, her mind was elsewhere, and she inadvertently stepped into a puddle, soaking most of her shoe.
“Luna Gloria!” the omega attendant apologized hastily, “I’m so sorry, I didn’t support you properly.
Gloria shook off the omega’s hand and snapped, “Just follow me.”
The omega meekly obeyed, trailing behind her,
Upon entering the Ironclaw Pack’s territory, Gloria couldn’t help but gawk at the luxury, which far surpassed that of the Bloodmoon Pack.
Gloria disliked her companion’s unsophisticated behavior and snapped,“Follow me closely. Why are you looking around so much?”
The beta who came out to greet them smiled and said, “Gloria, there’s no need to take umbrage at a servant’s misconduct. We can gradually teach her manners. Don’t lose your composure over her antics.”
Gloria smoothed her hair, aware that the beta was advising her to temper her impatience, lest others perceive her as ill–mannered.
However, in the Bloodmoon Pack/refined behavior was a luxury few could afford.
She was at a loss as to how she’d become ensnared in such a quagmire, behaving so crudely with realizing it, teetering on the brink of madness daily.
“Where is my mother?” Gloria inquired.
“In the Moonlight Study. Please follow me,” was the reply.

“The Moonlight Study?” Gloria frowned.
That was Christine’s sanctuary for reading and reflection. Ever since the check–related incident, she’d refused to speak with Christine, especially in private. “Isn’t Mother the one who wants to see me?”
“Yes, Luna Cynthia is in the Moonlight Study,” the beta confirmed..
“Oh? She’s there?”
“Yes, Luna Cynthia and Audrey are both there.”
Gloria’s frown deepened. “Audrey is there as well? What on earth is this about?”
“It’s about a letter from Alpha Tad. Luna Cynthia specifically requested your presence, explained the beta.
At the mention of her brother, Gloria’s mood brightened instantly. “A letter from Tad? No wonder everyone’s gathered. Very well, I’ll go to the Moonlight Study.”
She strode purposefully toward the study.
Before long, she collapsed into a chair, her eyes wide with disbelief, as if a heavy stone pressed against her chest, making breathing difficult. “Impossible. How could the dead return? I don’t believe it.”
“Believe it or not, that’s what the letter says. He’s seen him with his own eyes. Poor fellow, he’s
unrecognizable now. We can only wonder what sufferings he’s endured over the years,” Cynthia remarked with a sigh.
“Impossible, impossible!” Gloria muttered, yet she couldn’t help but ask, “When will he be back?”
“He won’t return soon. Marsh from the Hornbeam Pack is in bad shape. It’s said he endured terrible torture after capture. It’s tragic, and it’s uncertain if he’ll make it,” Cynthia explained.
“Lynette’s mate?” Gloria gasped. “He’s not dead either?”
“Yes, eleven of them survived and have been honored for their service. When they return, Lycan Erasmus will surely reward them,” Cynthia said, her voice tinged with emotion.
“The Hutchinson family must be overjoyed. It’s a pity we no longer have marital ties with them; otherwise, I’d join them in celebration.”
