---- 8_No. | want to see her. Faith | think | may have died and ended up in some upside-down reality. After the maid left my bedroom, | put the tray of fruit aside and got out of my bed. Then, | went to my bathroom to brush my hair and get sleeping pills. It wouldn't be my incredible luck if that little trip to the bathroom didn't send me straight back to bed. As soon as | realised | was out of pills, | tried my hardest to fall asleep and ignore the new reality. But no matter how | twisted and turned, it didn't work - | couldn't fall asleep. What felt like a brief moment ended up being more than two hours. And while | kept trying to sleep, someone knocked on my door again. ---- | sat up and invited the person in, thinking it was the maid, but to my surprise, it was one of my father's guards. He instructed me to get dressed and follow him to my father's office, most likely to meet the man | was going to marry. So that's how | ended up at my father's office door with a guard at my side. He didn't step away from me further than two steps. As if he was instructed to keep a close eye on me, and stay close enough in case | try to run. The only conversation that happened was when we stood near the door for a few minutes, and the guard leaned closer to whisper, "You can't enter unless your father calls your name. If Alpha Dorian storms out of there, you hide behind me, understand? For as long as the document doesn't have his signature on it, he is not allowed to see you." | didn't answer or react to his threatening order. If this man thinks he's scary - he clearly doesn't know my father. ---- And frankly, | don't care who he thinks he is - at the end of the day, sold off or not, I'm still the Alpha's daughter, and that fact alone should be enough for this man to show me more respect. A few weeks ago, | wouldn't play that card - | wouldn't bother to remind everyone who is my father. But these days, if that's the only way | can make my voice be heard, | sure as hell will follow in my father's footsteps and use my rank to my advantage. Besides, he can't stop me with silly excuses. Father might try to point out that | didn't earn my title, but neither did he. He became an Alpha when he married my mother, and | got the title because they're my parents. Fair game, prick! Shaking off the hateful thoughts, | lean against the wall, close my eyes and count the seconds until they turn into minutes, wondering what will come next. Will he force me to face Alpha Dorian today? A loud bang followed by an even louder growl startles me and the guard. "What do you mean | Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
