Daphne's POV
“Ivory!” I heard a voice call out in a sing-song voice, making me freeze until I realized who she was calling Ivory… I was now Ivory Rodriguez, Daughter of the most powerful Alpha alive.“Rise and shine, sweetheart, the Alpha sent breakfast.” I heard someone say, making me stir on the bed but I laid still…The lady called out once more, but I paid no heed to her, breakfast was the least of my problems right now.I wanted to leave this place before they realized I'm not Ivory, I am Daphne and reality had just dawned on me.It was definitely a dream, I wasn't rejected by the Caddel Triplets, then assaulted by them before being hit by a car and then died before waking up as Ivory Rodriguez.Stuffs like that happen only in movies and fantasy books, no doubt I'd open my eyes to see things where they ought to be.I could feel my heart thumping as the lady left me alone in the room.When are they going to ask me out of the hospital because I'm pretty certain that I don't belong here, the Alpha must have figured that out already?My stupid self had imagined what being Ivory Rodriguez was going to be, but I was sober and wiser now.I heard the door open and I suddenly felt an aura enter the room, I didn't need anyone to tell me that he was here… Alpha Rodriguez, My supposed Dad.He walked over to the breakfast table, “You aren't up yet princess” I heard him say softly, his voice choked up with so many emotions that I felt guilt fill me up.“Or is something bothering you?” He added, making my heart thump harder as he walked over to my bedside stool and then sat down.Did he know that I wasn't his Ivory?His hand reached up and wiped my tears I didn't even know had escaped the slits of my tightly shut eyes.“I don't know what is wrong princess, but you should talk to me” he urged, making me finally sit up slowly.His aura made me cower into my shell, the day before I had been more bold, but now it was sinking in, and I was petrified of all this being a dream.He urged me to talk, and I finally let out, “I'm just worried that I'd never remember you and everything too, Mr. Rodriguez… I mean Dad”.“It's just like I have been reborn, I have absolutely no memory of anything, and it hurts to be in a world where I have no memory to call my own” I lied through my teeth.Just then as he smiled softly, then a stray thought flashed in my mind. It could be that this man was an imposter and had evil plans for me.He looked far too young to be my dad, if I didn't g****e the man in my front I would have said he was nothing less than thirty-five but I knew better.I was using Alpha Rodriguez but what if by any chance it was otherwise but what could be his reason for wanting me as his own.“I was so certain that it was definitely the case, you have questions and I have the answers, baby girl”.He suddenly stood up, and my eyes followed him to where my food was.One thing I learned in just spending a little time with my new Dad was that he loved whoever his daughter was, and I could see that same love in his eyes… For me.I watched in silence as he brought the soup to me before bringing it before raising a spoon to my lips, “Are you still feeling pains?” Alpha Rodriguez asked In a sweet tone.I shook my head negatively, overwhelmed by the emotions I was feeling, and I was very greedy for wanting more of this.Never did I feel the absence of my dad in my life until now, the feeling was so overwhelming that I burst into tears, startling him visibly.If I wasn't sobbing softly, I would have laughed at the look on the Alpha's face.“Princess, did I do something?” He asked, making me shake my head and as I opened my mouth to speak, I burst into tears.I felt his fatherly arms around mine and I stilled before sinking into his arms.“I can't lose you again princess, I hate seeing you like this” he started while I was still in his arms, making my heart thump harder.This was what I was missing all these while, Alpha Caddel was a fatherly father in my life, but then never did I feel this kind of connection.Slowly I calmed down and I felt his warmth slowly leave. He sat down and began feeding me and this time…. I had no emotional breakdown.A man walked in shortly after and I stilled, “Alpha Rodriguez” He greeted before turning slowly to face me, “Miss Ivory, the car is ready”I felt the eagerness to get up, but I was stopped, “I remember the doctor saying you are unfit or move until you start physical therapy” Dad scolded, making me flush.“This is Beta Andrews, my beta…you used to be ma…buddies before the accident” he said softly, making me smile nervously before waving to which he nodded.I was curious about plenty of things and hearing his daughter was in an accident made me more curious, and if by any chance I had to be Ivory Rodriguez, I needed to know her.The research I had made last night had no core information than he was a force to be toyed with.A powerful and rich man was what I needed to deal with the Caddel boys, but what did he need from me?I watched in silence as they spoke in codes, the conversation was surely about me, judging my the glares I was receiving from Beta Andrews.“Princess” I heard my Dad say, Dad…I could get used to calling him Dad.“We are going home” he said, ignoring the look his beta was boring into his back.Home?I liked the sound of that. I was going home with my Dad as Ivory… throwing away all my worries, I nodded, making him smile at him.Daphne's POVBeing Ivory was simple because I looked so much like her and I just had to be calm, and sweet and hold back my words, I think because so far no one had questioned me.The staff at home accepted me with open arms, and I found myself blending in faster than I thought I would.It was quite surprising that Indeed, Alpha Rodriguez…Dad had a daughter who was indeed named Ivory, but no matter how I tried finding out what happened to the girl I was to replace, no one ever told me.Dad tried his best to make me feel at home and also feed me memories of Ivory, which also aided me in my step of filling her shoes.Most times my mind would go back to my old pack, nightmares were common because I'd wake up every morning in tears and, weirdly enough, sometimes in Dad's Beta arms.One thing is sure, he knew I wasn't his Ivory, and also he was in love with Ivory. The night I had returned home, he had confronted me with harsh words, even to the point of calling me an imposter who was toying
Daphne's POVI wasn't ready at all.For anything at all, and it took Andrew for me to see it.It takes more than the identity of Ivory to ruin the Caddels, I must have a name to do it.All the research I made, had me wondering if there was ever someone named Ivory.Ivory Rodriguez was an invisible figure, but her Dad was a force, while The Caddels Triplets had their name with or without their Dad…they were a force with backup.Revenge against a force as strong as they were, would take me take more than cutting Daddy's money plug.I needed to put my name in every tabloid and news station, it was going to be the rise of a Rodriguez…but I didn't know how to start.“You seem distracted” I heard him say, “I am”“Teach me,” I said to Andrew, who had just entered the room and was staring at me like I had two heads.I did have two heads, and I have been packing up for our journey for two hours now.“To do what exactly, Ivy?” He asked, leaning up against the wall and staring at me as I got lost
Daphne’s POV**A year and half later**“Aren’t you being too extra?” Andrew teased as we approached the helicopter’s pad.Was I being too extra?Isn't that the plan?“That smile on your face makes me wonder what you are thinking, you know we could have avoided this entrance…”“And miss all the buzz?” I asked with a smile on my lips, he shook his head at me before bursting in laughter upon seeing what I had called the buzz.The press were in a frenzy on the veranda below the helicopter pad, although from up here they all looked like ants.Following Andrew's advice and Leaving to become a better version of Ivory was the best decision I have made in my whole life, and I had no single regret.I was quite frustrating during the first few months, Dad had deposited a little cash and an available work space but the rest was just I and Andrew.It took a lot of sleepless nights and I was secretly was grateful to Alpha Ryder for handling my tech classes back then.The little knowledge I had of it
Daphne’s POVAndrew's words made me teary, but he wasn’t done, “Your plan to ruin the Caddels won’t be done alone anymore, for as long as you are posing as Ivory Rodriguez, I will always be here for you” he said with a genuine smile plastered on his face as unexpectedly the doors opened.My mind flashed to the night the Caddels had rejected me, I had entered the hall feeling as though all wasn’t going to end up well and indeed, they had rejected me in the worst way possible.Back then, most of these eyes here, had stared at me in a judgmental way, they didn’t want Daphne in the hall…dressed in rags she had bought at a cheaper rate regardless of the fact that she had used the only money she was given to get them …I could hear whispers like, “who is she?”, “Is that Ivory Rodriguez?”.“She looks tiny but beautiful nevertheless”.“Where has she been all these while?”“Befriend her, we need her”The scene of my entrance was different, I could see all of them staring at me star struck in aw
Daphne’s POVI headed to the company's new place the next morning to oversee how far the construction team had gone.If this was going to be our headquarters, it would have to be unique in design.Dad had loaned his building in the center of town, it was perfect for a company like ours.A tech company that others needed to help other companies keep their data safe.I called his gift a loan just like the other gifts he had given because I knew deep down that I won’t always be his ivory, there would have to be a time I would step back.Andrew couldn’t accompany me today due to the pending pack business he had with dad, after supervising the work… I decided not to return home after that.I longed to see the look on the triplets' faces when they saw who their Daphne had become. Today was definitely not going to be good due to the meeting I had asked their board director to hold.Not wanting any extra baggage of security following me, I entered the car and drove to their mansion.“Where are
Authors POVRex stared at Ivory's car in anger, their second chance mate hated them, and he just couldn’t place his fingers on why?Could it because she knew about Daphne's rejection? Her eyes were filled with nothing but pain and judging by the way she slapped Ray, she hated him the most.Ever since they had done it, the first company to drop partnership was Her dad, before other companies dropped slowly throughout last year.He ignored Ray’s angry shout while holding his slapped cheeks and barged into Emeralds room, the sismance between the two was aired on live TV yesterday.While leaving, he had seen his sister cry and surprisingly , Ivory had hugged her so tight until she was done.He hated the name Caddel triplets especially after that night, he wanted to hate his dad too, but he just couldn't over Daphne.Somehow everyone had painted them as the bad guy, no one wanted to know the real reason why everything had turned different after Daphne's parents' death.Watching from afar as
Daphne’s POVI laid on the bed watching a movie as Andrew had advised, being too focused on the revenge plan isn’t good for my mental health.As much as I hated them, I didn’t want to lose myself to vengeance…I still wanted a portion of myself to be kept alive.The FL in the movie was an example of the sweet part…Daphne Lycanster was an example of a naive and sweet girl, that’s what Andrew wanted me to preserve.Being Ivory Rodriguez has introduced me to a world where power strides, one where I’m the queen and the Caddels were my pawns.My mind flashed back to the masquerade ball and I knew exactly was running through their mind, no doubt that they longed to see my face.Funny enough I didn’t look that much like Daphne anymore, while abroad I made some vital changes not enough to change me but enough to shift attention away from me as the girl that had been humiliated.“Seems like you took my advice” I heard Andrew who had just entered the room say, “I really need to spend more of my t
Daphne’s POVAs soon as Dad’s warm arms left mine in order to face Ray who was standing there looking like a lamb ready to be splattered, I stood up immediately.“What the fuck do you think you are doing?” he started but I cut him short respectfully to avoid stepping in the way of his Alpha wolf, “Dad”.His black eyes turned to stare at me, he struggled with his wolf before finally stopping as his human side took over, “trust me and let me handle it” I whispered to him making him nod.All my life I had let people take the reins of my life…control wise. I had let them fight my battle, my parents, Emerald and even Alpha Ryder, I couldn’t imagine what my life would have been without them, this time around I wanted to fight my battles myself.No one would be able to fight it better than I would, I wasn’t a weak girl that they once knew…I was a stronger version of Daphne behind the name Ivory.“How dare you!” I thundered and I felt Nina fight to take over making me sneer before letting her
