Lycan King's Regret: Punished The Wrong Daughter novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47: 47- Admire Or Be Terrified?

Vanessa Toussaint pov: (Arabella’s half-sister)

"What did you say?" I asked my mate Dante, trying to control the rage brewing inside me, "Arabella was your fated mate?"

After the nightmare I had last night, Dante was now telling me this.

Dante shrugged carelessly, "Yeah. But don’t overreact, Vanessa," he leaned in his chair, "I rejected her for you. And you’re the one who got the prize," He said with a smirk.

Prize?

What prize? 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

I almost laughed.

I was his chosen mate. After taking me as his Luna, he didn’t have enough time for me. The only time he really saw me was when he needed me to satiate his desire. Once his desire faded, so did his compliments... so did I.

Love had flown out of the window after I walked into this packhouse.

I had dreamed of becoming a Luna for years. Not because I loved Dante but because I wanted Arabella to see me sitting beside an Alpha, ruling this pack while she continued living like the forgotten daughter of our family.

I loved how everyone praised me for my beauty. When Dante chose me, I thought I had finally won. I even secretly dreamed of making Arabella my personal Omega.

Instead, she ended up in the royal palace. The Lycan King was supposed to take a slave; he marked her instead.

And now...

Now Dante was telling me that Arabella had been his fated mate too.

"Why didn’t you tell me, Dante? You should’ve told me."

"Now don’t act like a petty, miserable girlfriend," He scoffed, "Look around you, Vanessa. You’re living in an Alpha’s packhouse as his Luna. You wear expensive clothes. Every female would kill to have your life," His smug smile made my blood boil.

Last night’s nightmare was still fresh in my mind. The way Arabella had treated me in that dream was enough to leave me shaken.

I needed to see Mom. She was the only one who could understand my pain. Ever since Victor came back, she had been over the moon. It felt like she barely had time left for me.

"What is that face for now?" My mother glanced at me and frowned.

I was sitting beside her on the couch, twisting my fingers while she looked relaxed, sipping her tea.

"Mom..." I looked at her helplessly, "I told you. Arabella was in my dream. She grabbed my tongue..." I swallowed hard, "She wanted to cut it off. She kept threatening me."

My mother started shaking her head and clicked her tongue in annoyance, "For Goddess’ sake, Vanessa," She set her cup down with a sharp clink, "You’re now the Luna of the Blackthorn pack. Start acting like one."

"Mom..."
