Escaping the Crown of Lies
During the year when my relationship with my Alpha father was at its worst, he gave me the newly elected Beta of the Sunfang Pack to make me happy.
After spending the night with him, I fell for him.
Three months later, I mended things with my father.
Four months later, I was pregnant.
From then on, I became the most distinguished expecting she-wolf in the pack.
Whenever it was time for a checkup, the Alpha and Beta of the pack would come with me.
But when I was six months pregnant, neither of them was around.
“I have something urgent to take care of in the pack.” My father patted my head.
Scott stroked my pregnant belly. “I have to help too. I’ll prepare gifts for you and our pup.”
I smiled as I sent them off, only to receive a video from an unknown number.
My father was dressed as a groom, and beside him stood Jelena, the mistress who drove my mother to her death.
Katie, their illegitimate daughter, was also pregnant. She wore a wedding gown as she leaned against Scott and smiled happily.
“This is a doubly joyous occasion!” Someone in the video raised their glass. “Congratulations to our Alpha for bringing his first love back, and congratulations to the Beta for holding his bonding ceremony!”
At the end of the video, my father said airily, “Your mate certificate with Claire is fake. Wouldn’t that make Claire’s pup illegitimate?”
Scott chuckled and said, “Claire has had everything since she was born, but Katie has been an illegitimate child for most of her life. I can’t let her pup grow up bearing that shame as well.”
At that moment, my heart shattered into pieces.
I called my brother, who had become the Lycan Chairman, and cried as I said, “Hoills, I want to leave with you.”
