As the shock took over them, Roxanne stepped ahead to express her disappointment with her father’s decision of bringing me here."Why is she here?" she had a very big frown drawn over her forehead, blending it well with the clenching of her jaw. I noticed Hope didn’t try to come for me, she only lowered her face as she was upset with me.“If she---,” before father could get a word in the edgewise, Roxanne took off her necklace and broke the pearls to shatter on the ground."Calm down," Alpha King Silas stepped ahead when he noticed she was disrespecting her father and an Alpha. He hugged her gently, calming her down while watching my face in disbelief. He must be blaming me for the differences between a father and a daughter.“It’s okay, I will leave,” I said, I wasn’t afraid of them or their taunts, I just didn’t like her misbehaving with dad because of me. But my steps were halted when my father held

“I believe now he will at least start questioning things or maybe find out about the truth,” Vanessa said as she sat down in her chair and took a sip of her coffee.We have worked really hard the entire day on this new deal, there was this new project that had caught my eye. The training center and a packhouse for the young ones where they will be trained and will learn everything that is required to become a border patrol or a Royal beta or Royal Gamma. There would be other posts like soldiers and guards, so it will be a whole package. Now previously Silas and his pack have expressed their desire to start that campaign in their pack but now that I was here, their biggest assistant, I have decided to steal the deal.Thanks to Silas for breaking the contract, now I get money from him and use it for this project. I couldn’t wait to watch the look on his face when he realizes he has lost the dream, that his dream has been snatched away from him.T

“Ehm!” I groaned, still trying to process why I was seeing him in my room at this time?“Octavia! Get a hold of yourself,” he let out a shout to further prove his presence.“Ugh!” I finally understood that he wasn’t a nightmare, “why the heck are you here? Who let you in?” I groaned, holding my hand to my head and trying to gather myself.“You are forgetting that I am an Alpha King, I am invited anywhere, especially to my father-in-law’s house,” he replied very stubbornly, placing his hands on his waist and watching my face.“What? don’t you fuc*ng start again. Everybody gets drunk once in a while,” I felt his quizzical eyes on me and it reminded me of how he had accused me of using drugs before.“But the night you chose is going to get us both in trouble,” he retorted very angrily but then swiftly forcing a smile onto his lips, “Octavia!

I slept through the entire night wonderfully. After I have done a great job, I needed a little rest.I woke up pretty late, even hours after everybody woke up. There were noises outside my room and among those noises, I heard my father and Hope's voice.I dragged myself out of the bed and took a shower, changed into white pants and an orange top.I was ready for the day and finally meet my daughter after so long.I found them in the garden, my father and Silas were talking while Hope was playing with balloons."Mommy!" she saw me and yelled my name, running towards me.I wished to get on my knees and open my arms to hug her but I had to resist a little."Hey!" I said awkwardly, letting her hug my legs and raise her face to look at me."You are mad at me?" she was shocked that I have not responded the way I always did."You hate me now?" she inquired, her eyes forming big tears as she slowly pulled away from me.'W

I had been outside the guest room where the doctor had been with Hope for an hour. I hadn’t stopped crying and blaming myself for everything that had happened.“It is not your fault, you were just going through stuff yourself,” Vanessa gently patted my arm, I know she was lying. Everybody knew I messed up today, my daughter’s condition was all my doing only.“It is my fault, I shouldn’t have dragged Hope into all this,” I was speaking to Vanessa when Silas came from the outside. He had gone outside to call some of the best doctors and make appointments for Hope.“It is your fault, you took it too far,” he pointed his finger at me, steadily stepping back when he found my father walking towards us.“You will not point your finger at my daughter here,” My father stood between us. He knew I needed his support and the way I recalled his controlling behavior today gave him a hint that I wasn&rsqu
