That was it. Once he was consumed by his deadly rage, there was no going back. It was either he got killed, or he killed.
I needed no soothsayer to tell me that Valerie had dug her grave with her own hands by playing a fast one on my father. She had beaten the war drums; now, she must be ready to dance to its consequences.
She deserved whatever came to her. She was a horrible person.
My father’s rage filled the room so intensely that its strong scent began to suffocate me. I had to leave before things got messy.
“Who is that wretched lover of yours?” he demanded. I gulped down the bile in my throat when I saw the vein on his forehead pop out as he spoke.
“It’s Carson. It wasn’t his fault. I made him do it,” she screamed desperately, struggling to get my father’s attention before he acted irrationally.
My father’s head tilted toward her as disbelief washed over him. “Carson? My driver?” he said in shock. “He didn’t-“
“Shut up, bitch! You mean to tell me I wasn’t the only one you were seeing? You stooped so low as to have sex with my driver?” Confusion clouded his mind as he struggled to digest the revelation.
“I was lonely, and you were not always around…” she tried to explain.
“That’s so lame. To even think that I was fucking you all these while without knowing you offered your pussy on a platter of Gold to some nuisance, that good-for-nothing gold-digger!”
“Are you that cheap? You don’t mind spreading your filthy legs for any Dick and Harry that comes your way. You were supposed to be my mistress, mine alone. But here you are, fucking some driver until you gave birth to a bastard child!” he exclaimed, wild with rage. Wrath and disdain dripped from his voice.
A gush of disbelief swept through me as I fixed my gaze on my irate father. I thought he cherished Nathalia and worshiped the ground she walked on. I thought the bond between him and Nathalia was inseparable, a result of the years he spent nurturing her.
I thought the love between them was unbreakable, but now I knew that it was easier to hate someone than to love them. Love could vanish in the blink of an eye.
It saddened my heart to see how quickly he reduced her by calling her a bastard child. Did that mean the love he had for her had expired?
Pity replaced the fury I felt toward Nathalia. She was going through the toughest time in her life. It was crazy how she lost everything she loved dearly because of her mother’s selfishness.
My heart bled as tears streamed down her face. My father wouldn’t even look at her.
“Alpha, it wasn’t his fault… it was…” she stammered, struggling with excuses.
My father’s expression darkened as his eyes met Eve’s. She was rooted to the spot, flabbergasted by the twist of events.
“Eve,” he called authoritatively.
Eve tore herself from the spot, running to him to avoid attracting punishment, as he was in a foul mood. “Get Carson at once!” he demanded, staring my mother dead in the eye.
I could tell it was about to get ugly.
“Why? I just told you that I forced him. He wasn’t at fault,” she protested, rushing to meet him.
“Why don’t you leave that to me? Let me be the judge of that,” he responded, folding his arms and pacing about the room.
Silence enveloped the room as the tension grew thicker. “Alpha,” Carson broke the long silence, sneaking into the room as his eyes darted around, studying our faces. All eyes were fixed on him as he strode toward my father, his head slightly bowed.
Without warning, my father threw caution to the wind, charging at him and slamming his back against the hard wall before throwing him to the floor.
“How dare you eat what I’m eating!” he snarled, grabbing Carson by the collar and smashing his head against the wall. “Alpha, I don’t understand…” Carson stammered, wincing in pain as he glanced at Valerie.
“You don’t fucking take what belongs to me. How dare you have an affair with the mistress and father this bastard child!” he spat in annoyance, pointing at Nathalia, who sobbed harder.
“Daddy, please,” she cried, taking hesitant steps toward him.
“Get away from me! I am not your father. This bastard is, and it’s a pity I’ll be sending him to hell.”
I was still trying to process his words when he pulled a shiny dagger from inside his suit and sliced Carson’s throat without hesitation.
I screamed in shock, horror filling my eyes as Carson dropped unconscious to the floor, covered in a pool of blood.
As if that wasn’t enough, my father tore Carson’s clothes with the dagger before slicing his balls and dick into tiny pieces, like scraps of meat.
Fear shook me as I watched Carson let out agonizing screams before choking on his blood. Soon, he gasped for breath, succumbing to the cold embrace of death.
My stomach churned as the little food I had threatened to come up. I quickly turned away from the bloody sight to avoid feeling nauseous. I couldn’t stand the sight of blood.
“What have you done?!” Valerie screamed in horror, her eyes bulging. She rushed to Carson, shaking him furiously as tears streamed down her face.
“You made me nurture a bastard for twenty years…” my father resumed, shooting her a deadly look. “You’re a liar if you think you’ll go scot-free.” He gritted his teeth before burying the dagger deep in her heart.
“Mum!” Nathalia and I screamed in horror, rushing to her as she dropped to the floor like a sack of potatoes.
Aurora
“Who’s there?” I jumped up, my eyes darting to the door as the knock repeated.
My brows furrowed in confusion as I tried to figure out who could be at the door.
I wasn’t expecting anyone.
“I’m coming,” I half-screamed when the knock sounded again.
Reluctantly, I got out of bed, slipping on a tank top and biker shorts.
I walked up to the door, throwing it open for the person to enter.
My heart did a somersault when I was met with Nathalia, carrying three shopping bags in her hands. Her eyes dropped to the floor before I could meet her gaze, shame surrounding her like a heavy cloak.
“The Alpha and Luna said I should give you this. Get dressed in thirty minutes because you’ll be going shopping. They’ll be waiting in the car,” she said, her eyes still fixed on the floor.
I stretched out my hand to take the bags from her, utterly shocked.
Hadn’t my parents taken me shopping last week? And the week before that?
My closet was already filled to the brim with everything I needed.
I didn’t understand why this was necessary.
Why didn’t they use the money to take care of the pack? I didn’t like the idea of them spoiling me with luxury.
But I couldn’t blame them. They wanted to make up for the years we were separated.
Even though I assured them that their gifts were more than enough, they wouldn’t hear of it. To them, nothing was too much for their beloved daughter.
“Each bag contains the dress you’ll wear, your shoes, and jewelry,” Nathalia’s voice shook as she handed me the bags carefully.
Oh my God!
They got me everything from Deevah. It was the most expensive brand!
Happiness swelled in my heart as I hurriedly checked out the items, smiling sheepishly like a child who had just tasted chocolate.
From the corner of my eye, I saw Nathalia swallow hard before shutting her eyes tightly.
She was on the verge of breaking down in tears.
A bad feeling settled within me at my behavior.
Maybe I shouldn’t have reacted that way.
Pity stirred in my chest as she forced a smile before turning to leave.
She must have felt a sharp pain in her heart at the turn of events.
Despite the way she had treated me in the past, I couldn’t help but feel compassion. It was something my mother and I had in common.
Once upon a time, she enjoyed all the privileges of shopping in the most expensive stores, living a luxurious life without a care in the world.
