The Abandoned Lycan Queen 89 Chapter 89 Chapter 89 Third Person's POV One after another, more and more high-ranking officials from every pack and every glorified warrior, both retired and currently serving, cinto the hall, celebrating the great success of reclaiming the northern land.
Pushing through the crowd, Courtney finally arrived, her expression sour and her teeth gritted as she scanned the ground with her blazing, judging eyes.
Her chest was rising and falling heavily with rage after she learned that it was Elena who was being praised by the King and every pack, but what added to fuel her rage into immeasurable fury was hearing the scandal Glenda fell into that spread through the entire kingdom like wildfire.
Seconds after searching through the crowd, her eyes fell on Elena, sitting majestically near the king and prince. Their eyes met, and Courtney's lips instantly pursed into a thin line while Elena's remained empty.

But seeing how King Desmond and Pricne Deacon were currently on her side, Courtney childishly stamped her foot in annoyance and scanned the crowd once again, looking for Glenda.
"That! I... Aghhh!" She pursed her lips, trying to conceal her anger upon seeing that her son, who was supposed to be receiving glory with his military skill, was sitting on the side with his head bowed down.
"How dare they treat my son like this?" she thought to herself before she took a long stride to approach her son. "Why are you sitting here like a nobody? Where's Glenda? Why isn't she by your side?" Courtney asked, aggravated, looking around for any sign of Glenda, but all to no avail, as she didn't even catch a glimpse of her shadow.
Bryson shamefully looked up at his mother and gritted his teeth upon hearing Glenda's name. "She didn't come?" Courtney let out a sneer and slammed her hands on the table. "She didn't come? After everything she caused, she doesn't even have the decency to show up and support you? By now, Courtney's patience was now on the edge of running out. Trying to calm herself, she snatched a glass of champagne from the circulating servers and drank all of its contents in one gulp before slamming the empty glass on the table.
Bryson, feeling humiliated and on edge from everything, not to mention the pain in his back, abruptly stood up, his chair scraping loudly against the floor.
With a low but sharp voice, he spoke, "Leave it, Mom. I'm done with this conversation." Without waiting for her response, he stormed out of the hall, leaving Courtney flustered and with a red face. "What are you all looking at?" she barked at the bystanders who had been watching their exchange since she arrived.
"Fuckign nobodies" she dared cursed under her breath when those people probably had a higher ranking than their low-class pack could ever liave, Flustered and angered, she quickly followed Bryson, her protests echoing behind her, On the other hand, Glenda was sitting still inside her dimly it room at the Swiftridge Pack, staring remorsefully at her reflection in a small cracked mirror that still had drips of blood from her knuckles after she punched it moments ago.
Chapter 89 Her finger trailed softly on the scar on her face that was still fresh, a harsh reminder of the consequences she had to face. Grimcing from the pain as, her finger cascaded on it, her expression mixed with bitter defiance. Raging, Elena's face flashed in her mind, silently pushing every blof her misfortune onto Elena. "Elena..." She gritted her teeth, continuing, "You may have won this war, but you're still nothing but a second- hand divorced woman." A slight smirk formed on her lips before she cracked a sarcastic laugh. "No one will ever dare to marry you, no matter how much credit you gain." Raising her head with made-up confidence, she spoke in the mirror, "At least, on this matter, I'll always have the upper hand." That thought, of fact, brought comfort to her wounded heart after her reputation was utterly damaged. Not to mention how it spread wildly to every corner of the kingdom and how she was supposedly "violated" by the Rogues... so much so that even Bryson started avoiding her.
Despite that, Glenda hadn't lost her hope, knowing Bryson wouldn't manage to avoid her for long. After all, she was his fated mate.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith the newfound glimpse of hope and courage, Glenda raised her hand and was about to grab a foundation to hide her scar when her room's door suddenly bursted open.
"Tellright here and now! Glenda, were you violated by those bastards?" Courtney's voice entire Boomed in the entire room. Glenda wouldn't be surprised if it echoed through the hallway. Her eyes narrowed as she shifted from her seat and faced Courtney's furious face, coldly replying, "For the nth time, no! I'm tired of repeating myself." Courtney sneered and almost spit at the sight of Glenda's face. "Do you think people will believe you just cause' you said it? You've ruined our family's reputation!" She took a deep breath, pointed at the door, and sharply said, "Our entire pack! If you cared at all, you'd leave and spare us the shame."
Hearing that, Glenda scoffed and stood arrogantly, crossing her arms "Shame? That's rich over her chest.
coming from a woman who's done nothing but schand grovel for power. If your son hadn't been so spineless, none of this would have happened!" Their loud voices filled the room like thunder, striking each other one after another.
After sfoul exchange of words, Courtney took a deep breath and regained her composure beforem saying, "If you truly care about N Bryson, you'll step aside. He can remarry Elena. With her title, we can restore everything- our family's reputation, our pack's wealth, and his position" "You're nothing but a liability now," Cournety straightforwardly uttered.
Glenda stared at Cournety for a few seconds before she bitterly laughed.
Raising her brows and tilting her head, she smirked and asked, "You think Elena would take him back? She's beyond him now Even if she did, do you think she'd tolerate your meddling? You've already lost an old hug." Chapter 90
