It was as if they had forgotten I was there .<\/p>\n
What is that foul smell , another voice said from nearby .<\/p>\n
I froze at the sound of that voice .<\/p>\n
Oh \u2026 its you .<\/p>\n
I turned to see Sophia , Ethans grandmother , approaching us .<\/p>\n
Why are you here ? Shouldnt you be licking your wounds or something ? My grandson left you for someone much better .<\/p>\n
Dont tell me youre here to get him back ? Im not here for that , Grandma , I told her , trying to sound as polite as I could .<\/p>\n
Regardless of how cruel Grandma Sophia was , I was always taught to treat my elderly with respect , and I wouldnt treat her less .<\/p>\n
any Dont call me that , she hissed .<\/p>\n
Im not your grandmother .<\/p>\n
I never would be .<\/p>\n
Even if my grandson chose to marry you .<\/p>\n
Im glad he came to his senses .<\/p>\n
You were never good enough for him .<\/p>\n
I knew your family was bad news the second I met you .<\/p>\n
\u0397 I frowned at her words .<\/p>\n
She always had a good relationship with my mother and father , so I wasnt sure why she was saying such cruel words about them now , Its only right that your father landed himself in prison , Meredith said , folding her arms across her chest .<\/p>\n
He was a slimeball from the beginning .<\/p>\n
I always wondered how he got to the top and now I know \u2026 he didnt deserve any of it .<\/p>\n
My cheeks flared as anger rose inside of me ; they could say what they wanted about me \u2026 but when it came to my family , they had crossed the line .<\/p>\n
Hes barely her father , Kelsey chuckled .<\/p>\n
Remember, shes an adopted orphan because her birth parents didnt want her .<\/p>\n
Shes a nobody \u2026 a loser \u2026 she will always be abandoned by those around her .noveldrama<\/p>\n
They all chuckled at Kelseys words as I felt my heart breaking into pieces .<\/p>\n
I shouldnt let their words affect me like this .<\/p>\n
I was training to be a gamma warrior for crying out loud .<\/p>\n
But I couldnt help but feel some pieces of truth in them .<\/p>\n
I was abandoned \u2026 I was abandoned by almost everyone in my life except for my mother .<\/p>\n
She had always been my rock , and I worried since my father had gone to prison and my mother fell into that deep depression that I was going to lose her too .<\/p>\n
But thankfully she seemed to be snapping out of her depressive state , and I had her back .<\/p>\n
Now I just needed to get my father back .<\/p>\n
Its not like he meant to abandon me \u2026 he was in prison against his will .<\/p>\n
But I still felt as if he had left our family , leaving me to pick up the broken pieces .<\/p>\n
I glanced over to see my mother speaking with a couple of packmates ; they were chuckling at whatever they were saying .<\/p>\n
Then , my eyes wandered over to Irene and Ethan .<\/p>\n
He was introducing her to a few of his friends ; the same friends who had once welcomed me into their circle and treated me kindly .<\/p>\n
Now they had given me the cold shoulder and those who I thought were my actual friends stopped taking my phone calls .<\/p>\n
The only one who stuck by side through this entire thing was Nan and she never liked Ethan to begin with .<\/p>\n
I should have just listened to her when she told me that Ethan was no good and that I deserved better .<\/p>\n
1\/2 Chapter 0135 Hes my fated mate , Nan ! I had told her during one of our arguments .<\/p>\n
I love him .<\/p>\n
Hes the one the Goddess had chosen for me .<\/p>\n
But I get a bad vibe from him , Judy .<\/p>\n
I need you to trust me .<\/p>\n
Something is going on with him , she had told me .<\/p>\n
I ignored her then .<\/p>\n
I didnt know it at the time , but that was when he was actively trying to woo Irene .<\/p>\n
My heart ached at the memory , and I let my shoulders sulk slightly .<\/p>\n
Look at her \u2026 she knows shes no good and now shes lost in thought , Kelsey laughed .<\/p>\n
Are you going to cry about it now ? I lifted my gaze to meet hers .<\/p>\n
Shedding tears over someone as heartless and idioticas your brother would be pitiful , I said through my teeth .<\/p>\n
I have too much pride to allow him to damper my mood .<\/p>\n
Im glad hes with someone like Irene , maybe she can finally tame him .<\/p>\n
As for you , Im not sure anyone can tame you .<\/p>\n
Your cruel words disgust me and its a shame to think I spent so long trying to get on your good side .<\/p>\n
Im glad Im not marrying into your family .<\/p>\n
They all gasped at my words .<\/p>\n
You bitch ! Meredith hissed .<\/p>\n
Then I felt the cold liquid splashing onto my face and dripping onto my blouse .<\/p>\n
I gasped when I tasted the red wine on my lips , and I turned to see Kelsey scowling at me with her empty wine glass .<\/p>\n
Sophia laughed and Meredith smirked , folding her arms across her chest .<\/p>\n
Dont you ever speak to me like that again ! Kelsey growled .<\/p>\n
What exactly is going on here ? I heard a deep voice from behind me and my entire body felt like it was on fire as my cheeks burned with embarrassment .<\/p>\n
My wolf immediately perked up upon hearing that voice because we both knew who it belonged to .<\/p>\n
