---- 11_You became a mystery. Faith The corners of his lips twitch, but a genuine smile doesn't spread across them. "Yes, rumours. Your mother was known for her unique looks and beauty. Many wondered what she saw in your father when their relationship became public. If only you knew anything about the outrageous rumours that followed their wedding," he rocks back on his heels and shakes his head. "But anyway, the packs have discussed you since your first public appearance. Do you really think the Alpha hid you because you're too ugly to be known as his daughter?" My brows pinch in silent question. Isn't that exactly what my father used to tell me? That I'm too ugly to be seen? | couldn't know if his words were true or not, besides the maid, | had no one to compare myself to. ---- The guard clicks his tongue, drawing my attention as his eyes glance me up and down again."You became a mystery that everyone wanted to solve. That's why Alpha Dorian is here - he's curious." | guess that's another thing | can add to the pile of things my father did to ruin my life. People around us spread rumours that I'm this extraordinary beauty when I'm average. Once | have to appear in public, I'll be the one facing disappointment and disapproval. | will be the one who's judged and frowned upon. Fucking ironic, | escape one hell to be taken to another. Spent my life here judged and condemned by my father, only to be ridiculed by the rest of the world and my new fiancé if he decides to keep me. | part my lips to answer the guard, but the voice from the office sends my mind into turmoil and freezes my body and senses. "Go on, bring her in. Stop taking me for a fool. | could feel the presence of your guard and the ---- girl from the moment they stood at that door. If you wanted an audience for our meeting - you could've told me." Alpha Dorian barks. It's now or never. A few words, or even one, will forever define the relationship between my father and me. It's his call. "Guard! Bring her in!" Father barks. Perhaps he's not trying to hide his emotions, but | shiver at the hatred and venom dripping from his words. My heart sinks as the words echo in my mind. No, it shatters into a million sharp pieces, inflicting more pain for me to bear. Not only did my father make his choice, but also | will bear the responsibility and consequences for more of his doings. | will never forgive him for this. Just like the terrible things he paid for a week ago. From now on, | no longer have a father. How | ever saw him as one now completely baffles me. | had enough time to think during the past week, ---- he didn't allow me to leave my bedroom. On the second day of lavish imprisonment, | decided that if it came to that, | would face the monster with my head held high and in silence. If an obedient, silent wife is what he seeks - then that's exactly what he will get. A will-less, submissive bride with no voice, opinion and dreams. Many Alphas prefer their women submissive, but they seek strength in their Luna's. They need a woman who can lead the pack at their side. Women, who will nurture his people and care for them even more than Alpha himself does. | hope that's what Alpha Dorian seeks, because that's exactly what he's not getting from me. | will give him exactly the opposite, until he is either fed up with me or lets me go. Or option three - kills me. That one may just be the kindest, but then | would let my mother down.
