Alysia's POV
I watched as Steven blessed our union. A smile sat beautifully on my lips, and even though I was happy, I wasn't sure it touched the deepest part of my soul. I had every reason to be happy. My father had shown up out of the blue, and apparently, he had been searching for me for the longest time but with no luck. The news about my victory over Andrew was what led him here.
I couldn't deny the connection between us, even if I wanted to, but at the same time, I couldn't help but ask myself if it was actually genuine.
How could I just trust him like that? How could I know if he was really who he said he was? What if this was all a part of an elaborate scheme to get into our pack and start a ruckus all from the beginning?
I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration. It was supposed to be a happy occasion, and here I was, bothering my head over something that wouldn't get solved anytime soon

Alysia's POVIn life, sometimes the best decisions were the ones made out of uncertainty. The fact that a decision had you second guessing over a million times, made it all the more worthwhile when it eventually came into fruition. I'd always been careful when it came to making decisions, but this time, I'd decided to throw caution to the wind, and I think it was safe to say that I'd made the right choice.It'd been a month since I accepted Steven as my father. A whole month of having someone I know considered as family around me. It was weird at first, but over time, we began to bond, and I would be lying if I said it wasn't one of the best decisions I'd made.At the beginning, I couldn't help the occasional guilt that made its way to my chest and being. I felt guilty, that I got to spend life here on earth with him, while mum was stripped of having her happily ever after with the love of her life. Had things been different, then maybe she could have been with us right now, and we wo
Alysia's POVI couldn't believe my ears. No, scratch that, I didn't want to. I didn't want to believe that what I'd always known as my reality, had somehow turned into a lie. It was one thing to grow up with what you believed was the truth, but finding out your entire life was nothing but a lie and at your most vulnerable moment too wasn't something you could easily recover from.If you recovered from it that is.The night was still, and a small part of me couldn't help but feel like even nature was shocked at the revelation Steven had dropped. I didn't want to believe it earlier, to believe him at all, but there was something about the way he'd spoken now that touched me. Maybe it was my guts or instincts speaking, or perhaps I was so eager to have someone that I could family, or related to that, that I was beginning to fall for everything I heard.I snuck a glance at Steven one more time. He was still rooted to his spot, like the same truth he'd told me, also had a devastating effec

Alysia's POVTo say I was relieved had to be the biggest understatement ever. When Damon had climbed that stage, I still couldn't shake off the nerves that had built up in my system. My faith in him was unwavering, it was the people I was worried about. Yes, they all loved and edited me, but I doubted they were going to forgive me so easily. I didn't just do a trivial thing.I broke their trust and seemingly abandoned them when they needed me the most. The moon goddess must have been on my side because Damon didn't even need to convince them much. He'd barely said a couple of words, and before long, they understood. My joy knew no bounds, and like the moon goddess knew I needed all the source of happiness I could find, I just had to bump into young Amanda. She was so cute and a literal angel. I almost didn't want to let her go. Heaven knows I wouldn't have, had Damon not broken through my thoughts.“Alysia.” He whispered in my ear. A small smile made its way to his lips, but I couldn'

Alysia's POVI'd never wanted the ground to open up and swallow me more than I did in this moment. I had expected this kind of reaction. In fact, I was so conflicted about being strong to face the crowd of people, or anybody in fact. There was no way I could have a smooth sailing when it came to finally approaching everyone, even the moon goddess couldn't help if I asked. It was certainly a me problem, and despite all of my preparations, it looked like I still came unprepared.I was rooted to my spot, not knowing what else to do. My palms felt clammy, and I could make out the beads of sweat trailing down my back. It slipped through the folds, and if I didn't find a way to stop it, I wouldn't be surprised if my entire dress turned out soaked. The fact that the dress was cut open at the back wasn't even helping matters at all.I needed to get out of here.Perhaps Damon had read my mind because the words had barely register itself in my mind, before he took my hand in his. He intertwined
