Chapter 48
817 Words
Samika's POV
I stand behind the gates and watch them lower up. It is the man I thought was my father. But apparently we don't share blood nor affection. At least mom loved me and I knew it.
I feel a pang in my heart just thinking of her. She would have survived at least if she was with her husband. He might have been the one who accidentally put her in that place, but at least he wouldn't have let her die.
I killed her the moment I brought her here.
I finally looked at him. And he is not smirking like he usually does. The closer he came, the more I learnt a new truth. The truth that he somehow hid from everyone, probably.
"Long time no see, sweetie" he says and I still kept my face straight.
"Tell me why you are here. I don't have all day considering you already made a mess of a situation with my mate," I whisper making him smirk finally.
I was a daddy's girl. I thought he was the best. I thought he would move the heavens and the earth for me. And every year when he missed all the important days of my life, and somehow gifted me with things to make me forget .. I thought at least he did that unlike my mother who never pampered me that way.
But as I grew up, I am starting to see things for what they are. And most importantly, I am now seeing who the person in front of me really is.
"You might have lost your adopted mother. But I lost my wife. The one I loved the most," I hear him say and all I could see is what he hid from me and from himself all these years.
All my pent up anger is now working up again and I feel it in the back of my throat and head, ready to be channeled and projected. But I bet things will not be the same if I do, so I am doing my best not to react.
I feel Arnold's warmth behind me and by the look on my father's face, it's clear that he is thinking something in his mind.
"I am proud of you changing your boyfriends very quickly. No mate business now, I think" he says and I still have a straight face mainly because I know the moment I show any emotion, I might snap.
"Your mother would be proud too, considering your mate was the one who killed her. She would be happy that you dumped him and got with the other handsome one. Where is Nyle?" He asks again and that's when I have had enough.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask him and he raises his eyebrow at me.
"I thought you were at some other pack and-"
"Why did you not tell me?" I asked him again when I realized he did not get my question right.
"What are you talking about?" He finally asks me and I take a step towards him, unflinching to his powerful demeanor.
But the point he is missing is that I am even more powerful now. And I feel some of it stepping out of control.
"Why the f**k did you not tell me that you are a werewolf too," I snarl at him and show my fangs making him stumble a little backwards.
I roar at him, bringing him on to his knees just like Alpha Judith did the other day. I never apologized to her wholeheartedly either. And she did not cross my path as well. Good for her.
"I-I.. I...I-"
"You f*****g what?" I roar at him again, my wolf taking partial control and I see my father's eyes go wide as he takes in my appearance.
I know I am not the same Samika he knew and manipulated.
"Alpha," he whispers and he shows his neck in submission.
When Arnold grabbed me from behind and pulled me into him, witnessing the submission of my father.. I turn around just enough to show him that I am still angry.
"He is in submission. You have to use that to get Devon out," he tells me and I hate that he is right.
"Throw him in the cells for now. And let Devon use this time to think about what he did," I tell the guards nearest to me and they take my father to the cells.
I am half surprised that he is not even putting up a fight. Maybe because he submitted to me in front of everyone.
Or maybe, because he called me an Alpha. I can be his Alpha only if he belongs to The Blood Rose Pack or The Madfur Pack. If he belonged to this pack, anyone would have known. Devon would have known.
Is he one of The Madfurs?
