Chapter 227 - Twenty Three Years Ago

"No. Blair Anderson didn't ask me something in return nor threaten me with anything." Clyde firmly answered, not wanting to waste the chance to taunt his father. "He gifted me that horse in memory of my late grandfather, the fourth Alpha sovereign."

Jacob gripped his wine glass tighter when he heard this, the way Clyde said it just now sounded as if he deliberately wanted to scare him. 

Clyde picked up the silence that came from Gloria as a sign that the old woman couldn't refute him any longer. Though his grandfather had long died before he was born, he knew the history Gloria shared with him.

Even without an official title, her life was admittedly something that nobody else could achieve, not even the wives of the previous Alpha sovereigns.
