Chapter 8 In the past three years , Bella had paid no attention to the news surrounding Alpha Xavier . Little did she know that he still hadnt married his mistress , Samantha . Alpha Carl sneered as he commented , Alpha Xavier is getting engaged to the Betas daughter . Well have to give them a great gift , whether its out of respect or for the Beta . Confused , Bella asked , Alpha Carl , what should we give as a gift then ? Why dont you figure it out ? Carl shifted his gaze towards Bella and said , Ill leave it up to you . Go and pick out a gift . I … I dont know about this . Carl , you should ask someone else to do it , Bella immediately refused . She had no desire to choose a gift for Alpha Xavier and his mistress . Cant you learn if you dont know ? Carl enjoyed tormenting Bella . In his eyes , she was already a 27 year old woman who couldnt dress up or put on makeup . He inexplicably disliked her from the moment he saw her . If it werent for Alpha Zacharys sake , he wouldnt have wanted Bella as his assistant . On her first day of work , he made it clear that he didnt like women with glasses and requested she wear contact lenses . However , Bella dared to defy him and continued to wear her unfashionable black framed glasses . Well , since you didnt follow my orders , dont blame me . I cant refuse Alpha Zachary , but I can certainly make your life difficult , Carl thought . Watching Bellas troubled expression , he felt an overwhelming sense of triumph . Im leaving this matter in your hands . Make sure it pleases Alpha Xavier , or Ill fire you ! Yes , Alpha , Bella sighed inwardly and reluctantly agreed . At noon , Alpha Carl planned to meet with some pack members at the pack house . As usual , he brought Bella along . After taking care of the pack business , it was time for food and socializing . Carl , known as a playboy , invited the finest she wolves in the pack . Inside the private room , the pack members started to get rowdy after a few glasses of wine , becoming amorous with the she wolves seated next to them . Unable to bear witness to this , Bella stood up and said , Carl , Ill be waiting for you outside ! Go ahead . Just remember not to wander too far . You know whatll happen if I cant find you ! Carl responded with a threatening tone . I wont go too far , just waiting by the door . As Bella walked away with her head down , someone asked Carl , Carl , why did you choose such an ugly woman to be your assistant ? Dont you feel uncomfortable looking 1/2 12.39 081 , 15 Mar Chapter 8 at her ? 273 % Its unbearable . I cant even find her attractive ! Carl was unnecessarily cruel . Amidst laughter from the pack members in the private room , Bella picked up her pace . Since she couldnt go too far , she stood in the corridor just outside the room , ready to follow Carls orders . A group of wolves approached her , escorting a middle aged wolf who appeared to be in high spirits . The moment Bella caught sight of him , she immediately lowered her head and stared at her toes . Beta Craig Turner , despite being escorted , had a feeling that something was amiss and turned around immediately . As his eyes landed on Bella , he recognized his daughter despite her outdated attire . Beta Craig blinked in surprise and said something to one of his pack members . Then , he walked towards Bella and asked , Bella ? When did you return ? Raising her head , Bella looked at Beta Craig indifferently . Is there something you need , Beta Turner ? Beta Craig looked at her with affection in his eyes , undeterred by her cold demeanor . Where have you been ? Ive searched for you countless times over the past three years . Why didnt you call me ? Daddy ? My dad died a long time ago ! Bella retorted coldly . Bella , Beta Craigs voice softened , unable to be stern with his daughter . Although he was an esteemed Beta in front of others , he could never maintain a harsh demeanor with her . You must be hungry . Come , let Daddy have a meal with you ! Forget it ! Beta Turner , you have a mate and a daughter at home . Go back and be with them ! Bella ! Beta Craig reached out to hold her hand . Please , just have a meal with Daddy ! Let go ! Bella tried to pull away , but Beta Craigs grip was too strong . She couldnt loosen his hold . Beta Turner , if you continue like this , dont blame me ! Bella , please ! Beta Craig pleaded . Just then , a voice interrupted , Whats going on here ?! 12 34 Sat , 15 Mar 20 . Title: A Princess? No! I'm the Female General! In "A Princess? No!
