Chapter 18
Chapter 18
Annette was taken to the Black Thorn Pack.
Two men pushed Annette in front of Lance, who was in a wheelchair.
Annette's face was full of anger. She said, "Alpha Lance, we are in Akron. This is kidnapping!"
The two men let go of her. As her feet touched the ground, her ankles hurt, but she stood there, looking tough.
Lance waved his hand, and people around him dispersed.
"Sit," he said coldly.
"I am a Rogue. I don't deserve to sit on the Black Thorn Pack's chair."
"Annette Fisher! Are you trying to piss me off?"
"As I said, my last name is Hall."
"But you still have my blood in you."
"That's why I always feel sick about myself."
Lance slapped his wheelchair angrily and shouted, "Annette!"
Unfazed by Lance's mood, Annette casually asked, "What do you want?"
"I hear you've been hanging out with Alpha Connor," Lance said coldly. "Are you short of money?"
Annette sneered. This was her father. In his eyes, she was the kind of person who would do anything for money.
Annette did not speak, Lance thought that he was right, and she was ashamed.
He continued, "You haven't learned any merits from your mother at all. On the contrary, you've inherited all the nasty stuff from her."
Annette looked at Lance. She suppressed her anger and asked, "What nasty stuff have I done?"
"Didn't you seduce Alpha Connor? Why else would the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack come into contact with a Hybrid like you?" Lance asked.
Annette clenched her fists tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh. Her body was trembling because of his words.
She walked to the small coffee table beside his wheelchair and flipped it over.
Lance looked at her without changing his expression.
She walked to Lance and said, "People like you don't deserve to mention my mother's name, because you are filthy. Don't make me come to such a disgusting place ever again. It stinks. I don't want to be stained."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and limped away.
Lance said coldly, "I'm warning you! Stay away from Alpha Connor. Otherwise, as your father, I will punish you."
Annette stood still and looked back at him. She smiled and said, "Who do you think you are? I hate being warned. The more you try to warn me, the more rebellious I will be. I shall see how you will punish me."
After Annette finished speaking, she turned around and left. She thought, 'Lance, just wait and see. I will drag you down one day. You will beg for forgiveness from me and my mother one day.'
After Annette left the Black Thorn Pack's territory, she sat down on the side of the road because of the pain in her ankle.
She was very upset. Lance kidnapped her here. He saw her feet, but from the beginning till the end, he never asked her if they hurt.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. She put her arms around her body and buried her face into her knees, crying uncontrollably.
Suddenly, she felt someone gently poke her head.
She looked up and saw Connor's caring eyes through her tears.
She thought, 'How can he always manage to find me when I'm in a mess?'
They looked at each other. She couldn't stop crying.
He took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.
Annette looked at Connor. She choked and said, "May I borrow your shoulder for a while?"
Connor did not say anything. He pulled Annette into his arms.
"I can't see your face in this way. So, just cry as much as you want."
Annette felt that his embrace was so warm that it warmed her frozen heart.
Meanwhile, a sports car passed the road beside them.
The woman in the car saw them. She almost stopped in the middle of the road.
It was Austin's sister, Jessica.
Jealousy appeared in Jessica's eyes. She muttered to herself, "It's Annette, that slut! Why is she with Alpha Connor?"
Jessica stepped on the accelerator. She sped up and went back to Black Thorn Pack.
As she entered her home, she saw Lance sitting in the living room. She trotted over and exclaimed, "Dad, I just saw that bitch's daughter. Do you know who she was with?"
Lance cut in and said seriously, "Jessica, how many times have I told you? She is your sister."
"I don't have a sister like that. Dad, I won't accept her. Never! You can't change my mind. And don't make me. Otherwise, I will reject you as my father too!"
"Alright. That's enough." Lance was already upset. "Who was she with?"
"She was with Alpha Connor! They were cuddling on the side of the road. That crazy bitch! How dare she seduce Alpha Connor?"
Jessica was frustrated. She thought, 'Alpha Connor is the Mr. Perfect of all the female werewolves in Akron.
Every unmated female werewolf desires Alpha Connor.
Annette threw herself at Alpha Connor!
I can't accept it whatsoever!'
Lance also pulled a long face.
He thought, 'Annette has made up her mind to go against me, hasn't she?
She is just a young girl. I have a million ways to deal with her.'
Connor brought Annette back to his villa.
Connor's younger brother, Marcus Norman, was in Connor's living room.
When Marcus saw Connor carry Annette back, his eyes almost popped out.
Connor took Annette back to her room, and Marcus followed him in.
Marcus asked, "Ms. Hall, why are your eyes so red? What did Connor do to you?"
Knowing that Marcus got the wrong idea, Annette said shyly, "Don't be ridiculous. Alpha Connor saw I was in a bit of trouble and stepped in to help me."
Marcus smiled evilly and thought, 'Connor offers to help people? Yeah, right.'
On the second floor, Connor called his assistant.
"I need you to check up on the Black Thorn Pack, especially the details of Alpha Lance and Austin. Also, do some digging about Annette and send all her information to my office tomorrow."
