“Exchange… my mate?” My eyes widened with shock as I stared at my father.
“Don’t you agree?” Father squinted his eyes and continued, “Chloe, you’re the eldest child in our family, don’t be selfish! You need to put the pack’s reputation first! Got it?”
I could not believe that the only time my father willingly acknowledged my identity as his eldest daughter was because he wanted to take my mate away from me.
I felt cold, like fell into endless abyss, more bleak dark! I turned to look at Vanessa, who was calm and kept smiling. It was clear that she had expected this.
It turned out that this was the revenge she had planned for me. She would take away my only hope in this world—Alan.
Alan was all I had!
If he was taken away from me, I would truly be left with nothing.
I bit my lip hard and tried my best to suppress the anger. I would not give Alan up anyhow.
I had to stick up for myself this time!
“Father…” I clenched my fists and screwed up enough courage to say, “I’m willing to sacrifice everything for the pack, but please don’t take Alan from me. You know how much I love him. I can’t be without him.”
It was the first time I had rejected any request from my father since I turned 14. He seemed a little taken aback, but he was not in a rage as I had expected.
He frowned as if he was considering my words over in his mind.
A glimmer of hope rose in my heart.
‘Perhaps he does care about me.’ I was imbued with full expectation.
“Forget it, sweetheart. You don’t have to force Chloe…” Lisa suddenly sighed aloud, “Vanessa can put up with getting looked down upon by the other royals. We can’t force Chloe to give up on her love…”
As she spoke, she looked over at Vanessa, who kept her head down, hiding his features, seemingly aggrieved.
“Well... if they mock our next Alpha, I would fight them to the death,” Lisa continued.
Upon hearing that, the way my father looked at me change drastically. Lisa’s “kind words” meant to work in my favor had planted a seed in his mind.
Lisa had indirectly implied to my father that all I cared about was my love and I did not care about the pack’s honor.
My father was a domineering but conscientious Alpha. What he cared about the most was our pack. If anyone tried to do anything to affect the pack’s interests, he would not let them off easy even if they were his relatives.
Lisa’s words would make him more insistent on getting me to exchange mates with Vanessa.
As expected, my father said sternly, “Chloe, I’m not negotiating with you. I am merely informing you!”
“Father, please...please don’t take my mate away!”
“How did such as you dare to against me? For someone with a weak wolf like yourself, what could you possibly contribute to the pack other than sacrificing your mate?” My father interrupted my pleading, and yelled impatiently. “You have three days to break your mate bond with Alan. Don’t let me down, Chloe!” He demanded without hesitation, ignoring my desperate pleas.
He strode out of the study, Lisa followed closely behind him.
I fell to the ground dejectedly, overwhelming bitterness welling in my heart.
Once my father made his decision, it was impossible to sway him. If I refused him, he would definitely force me to obey his order with his Alpha wolf.
Did it mean I had to let Alan go?
No...I couldn’t!
It wasn’t possible! Alan...Alan would help me!
Even if the whole world went against me, I was sure Alan would still be my side. He loved me too much to do that. I was certain that he would defy my father for me.
Alan was the pack’s most distinguished Sentinel. His words held weight. Alan would definitely be able to persuade my father. Anyway, I had to find him first. I could not sit around and do nothing like a useless coward.
“Wanna seek Alan’s help?”
As I got myself off the ground and sprinted to the door, Vanessa’s voice came into my ears.
I paused and turned around to look at her.
She got up from the sofa, stood there with her hands crossed. Her lips were curled into a mocking smile.
“You can’t possibly believe that Alan truly loves you, right?” she asked with a sneer.
I held my breath and clenched my fists as a chill ran up my spine.
“What do you mean?” I asked, staring at her.
“Wonder the truth?” She shrugged, an easy smile blooming on her face. “Aah! Alan is really good in bed. I really enjoy it.”
The blood in my body run cold in an instant. What the hell was she talking about?
Was she trying to tell me that Alan had cheated on me?
With her?
Was this just another trick she was pulling to provoke me?
“You’re lying!” I glared at Vanessa.
“You don’t believe me?” Vanessa raised her eyebrows at me, then walked up to me in her high heels.
“Well, fine. Stop by my room later tonight. Everything will come to light soon enough! Poor guy, let’s see if that your confident tone will still be intact at that time.”
