Patrick carried Gloria out of the car as she asked.
Gloria shouted, "I won't get off! Let me go!"
Being on Patrick's shoulder, she grabbed the car door and kept struggling. In a panic, she failed to care whether or not she had kicked Patrick.
"Not getting off? You said you wanted to get off, right?" Patrick teased.
Gloria choked. Then, she mocked, "Before I was sent to the werewolf prison, didn't you say that I wasn't your mate? You even rejected me!"
"That was a mistake. I am correcting it now." Patrick's handsome face looked serious.
"Patrick," Gloria smiled, "I am also correcting my mistakes."
Patrick's eyes turned cold. He ignored her refusal as if he had not heard her words. Instead, he declared, "From now on, you are my mate, and you'll be the mother of our children, and become the Luna of the Black Thorn Pack."
"You should have done this a long time ago." Leo cheered.
About Gloria, Leo often had different thoughts from Patrick and thus roared at Patrick.
"Patrick, you disgust me!" Gloria cursed.
Patrick narrowed his eyes and retorted, "Disgusting? You will soon become my mate. I will also apply for a human marriage certificate so that you will belong to me no matter who you are!"
"I will not agree!" Gloria said angrily.
"Gloria, you are too naïve." Patrick sneered.
Once Patrick put her down, Gloria tried to run back.
However, she only took a step forward, and then Patrick grabbed her and held her in his arms tightly. She couldn't move at all.
"I will mark you today!" Patrick sounded determined.
"Patrick! This is against my will!" Gloria shouted in a hoarse and panicked voice.
Her fear didn't bring Patrick back to his senses, and she turned to people on the road for help. She pleaded, "Help me! Please! I need to get away from this man."
Noticing Patrick's luxury car and his fierce eyes, people around quickly ran away.
"Patrick, you devil!" Gloria shouted in despair.
Suddenly, she stopped because she felt Patrick's breath next to her ear. He was so close to her.
His lips pressed against her ear. "As I said, you are so naïve, just like four years ago."
Gloria's face turned pale, and her heart ached. She clenched her teeth to stop herself from trembling.
She thought desperately, 'Patrick, you won.'
Gloria, who used all her strength to fight back, suddenly gave up struggling and let Patrick drag her forward.
"Gloria, be good. You don't want to make me angry," Patrick comforted her gently.
Gloria felt his words ear-piercing. Looking at their interlocked hands, she couldn't help feeling nauseous. She shook Patrick's hand away and said, "You won, Patrick. You proved that you are powerful, but have you considered my feelings?"
She raised her fist and smashed it on Patrick's strong body with all her strength. She kept punching him, but she was powerless because she did not have a wolf. Her attack was nothing to Patrick.
Gloria did not care about that. She was just venting her anger.
After a while, Gloria's punching became slower, and she finally stopped. She said in a low voice, "It is not your fault."
'It is my fault,' Gloria said inwardly. She hated herself for being so weak that Patrick could do whatever he wanted to her.
"Patrick, you win. Between you and me, you always win," Gloria said, depressed.
She could sense the warmth from Patrick's palm, yet her heart would no longer be warm again.
Suddenly, Patrick reached out and held Gloria tightly in his arms. There was a trace of pity on his face, but his tone was still overbearing. "Gloria, forget about the past. You are my mate. Let's live a good life together."
Anyone who knew Patrick well would be surprised. They would never believe that the cold and ruthless Alpha of the Black Thorn Pack would say such sweet words.
Gloria was stunned. Looking at Patrick in front of her, she felt surreal and couldn't believe that he was somehow begging her.
"Mr. Hammond, do you want me to forget everything?" Gloria mocked.
Patrick concluded the first half of her life with only a simple sentence. Gloria's eyes were red, and her pale lips curled into a bitter smile.
Her life was a joke!
"I never cared if I would be the Luna of the Black Thorn Pack! Do you think I can forget about my past just because of what you've said?" Gloria said in disbelief. If that was the case, did he mean that her hellish life in the werewolf prison meant nothing?
She did not know how to face Patrick. The pain and anger in her heart were beyond words.
"Mr. Hammond, you are indeed remarkable." Gloria looked up, smiling with tears in her eyes. She said in despair, "Unless you ask the Moon Goddess to remove my memory, I will never forget what happened to me."
Tears streamed down Gloria's face, and her smile stung Patrick's heart.
"Why do you always make our mate sad?" Leo roared in dissatisfaction.
Patrick looked at Gloria in pity, but his eyes remained emotionless as usual. He suddenly turned around and pulled her back.
Gloria was brought back to the car. She shouted, "Patrick, what are you doing?"
"I can't wait any longer. Gloria, I'll mark you here," Patrick said as he pushed her into the car.
Gloria screamed and fell into the back seat. Patrick pressed against her and said gently, "Maybe we should have a baby first."
He thought, 'If she got pregnant, she might forget everything in the past and spend the rest of her life with me.'
"Patrick, you're crazy! Let go of me!" Gloria's hoarse scream came out of the car.
Patrick didn't say a word. He tore Gloria's clothes, and her struggle couldn't stop him.
Their bodies entangled. Patrick's eyes turned dark, and his canine teeth were exposed. He tilted Gloria's head and then bit her neck, his canine teeth piercing deep into her skin.
Gloria screamed in pain. It made her face twist, and she could not help but hold Patrick's shoulder tightly. She scratched his back, and the tearing pain and pleasure tortured her at the same time.
Patrick pulled out his canine teeth slowly. Gloria could feel that the connection between them was deeper now.
Gloria had no wolf, so her wound had not healed and was still bleeding.
Patrick licked her wound and kissed her gently on the cheek.
Gloria gradually stopped struggling. Patrick forced himself on her, and all she could do was stare blankly at the car ceiling soullessly.
