"I am so sorry. If I had even the slightest idea my son would ruin our relationship, I would have done everything to stop it," McQuoid had been trying to comfort me for a while, but no amount of comfort could change the fact that my daughter was in the very hell I had tried so hard to keep her away from.
"Ahh," I sighed, turning my head to the side and looking out the window. I was sitting in my armchair with McQuoid on the floor beside me, his head in my lap.
"If you want, I can make them reject each other on the next full moon. I’m sure once I talk to Helanie and remind her that you deserve happiness too—" He woke me up from my thoughts when he mentioned my daughter.
"Helanie? She’s naive. She hasn’t done anything wrong. Norman must have convinced her that marrying him was the right thing to do," I spoke in a calm tone, unlike the way I had outside, in front of everyone. I had broken down so badly I even surprised myself. freewebnoveℓ.com
"Yeah, and I’ll have a word with Norman," he continued, but my sigh cut him off again.
"McQuoid, if it hadn’t been one of your sons, it would’ve been that Kaidon," I clenched my jaw at the mention of that good-for-nothing alpha.
The minute I get my hands on him, I’ll skin him alive. His confession means nothing to me. I don’t care if he was drunk or drugged—he hurt my daughter. That’s all I need to know to decide someone is my enemy.
"I know. But we thought... Altan would step up and stop her from marrying Kaidon," McQuoid lifted his head, probably to look into my eyes and see my reaction.
I let out a scoff, shaking my head.
"I really thought that Alpha would redeem himself. My daughter used to love him, you know? The fact that she went to that subway for him broke me. She must’ve trusted him so much to go there with him," I sighed again, feeling like someone had ripped my heart out.
"Alpha Diaz attacked the men I sent to free Altan last night. He killed them because they wouldn’t tell him who sent them," McQuoid and I had planned to free Altan so he could marry my daughter.
I’ll do anything to get my daughter married to him and make her the Luna of the pack she once desperately wanted to live in. I want her to find happiness somewhere far away from these rogue king brothers.
And Norman!
He’s the worst. He only cares about his brothers. When the time comes, he’ll gladly sacrifice my Helanie to save his useless brothers.
"McQuoid, I’ll ask just one thing of you," I knew that my dear boyfriend understood by now that I didn’t hate Helanie.
That he needed to let me handle it my way—and he did.
"What is it, my love?" he looked into my eyes and asked.
"You will not make my daughter feel guilty for getting married. No one will. This is her first marriage—I want her to cherish it, to feel like a bride, for once, and to feel free, like the world isn’t out to get her. As for us, we can stay as lovers," I felt bad as I said those words to McQuoid. I knew how much our marriage meant to him.
But sadly, it meant little to me.
The only thing I cared about was my daughter. Otherwise, I would’ve died when they took away the love of my life.
When they fed me to the animals, day in and day out, to get me pregnant. The torture of those days still lives inside me.
