If anyone was living in denial right now, that’d be me. Even after ny mother had openly confessed to killing my father, I refused to believe it. It was no news that she hated him because he was poor, but my father did everything to provide for us and keep our family together.
My mother may not be a likable person. She certainly wasn’t a murderer either. Or maybe that is just what I wished for. I had lost one parent already, and realizing that the other one who had been on my neck is the one that killed my father was just too much for me.
Why did she do it? To be able to get together with Alpha Zane? Was she cheating on him before he died? Is that what she meant by people would pitied rather than gossip about her? Because she was already cheating on him and couldn’t afford to get caught?
I couldn’t stop all the questions that kept popping through my head, and all I could do was cry. She had stolen the last memory of him from me, and all I could do now was look into the sky whenever I missed him, hoping he would hear me from wherever he was.
The revelation hurt than when I found my father’s lifeless body on the cold floor when I got back from school. My breath hitched, jaw clenched as I inhaled and exhaled on repeat.
I didn’t leave my room for the rest of the day. I didn’t want to run into my mother who saw her face anywhere near me, for that matter. Despite how hard my worms were chewing hard on my stomach, I curled up on the bed, staring at the ceiling, as I reminisced my favorite memory of my father over and over gain.
I barely got any sleep when my alarm rang, and I began to prepare for school again. My eyes were swollen, and anyone could tell I had been crying, but I bet no one would notice anyway.
Once I was done dressing, I headed downstairs and inhaled a breath of relief that my mother wasn’t there. As usual, the maids had already prepared our breakfast, but I was too exhausted to eat.
“Good morning, Alpha,” I greeted, heading towards the door before he could even reply when he stopped me.
“Aren’t you eating breakfast?” He asked.
I looked at the table to see Kael eating quietly at his seat. He didn’t acknowledge me, but I could sense his anger, and it didn’t help that his father was wearing a frown, too.
Did they have a fight again? I brushed the thought off, reminding myself that I didn’t have the right to put my nose in anyone’s business, especially after finding out my mother ruined our once supposedly happy family because of her greed.
“I have to get to school early for my presentation,” I lied, but he didn’t seem to question it.
“My driver is waiting outside. He’ll be taking you to school from now on,” he said, taking me by surprise.
Why would his driver do that?
“That wouldn’t be necessary. If I leave now, I’ll still make it to school on time, so you don’t have to worry about it.” I tried to decline politely, but be wouldn’t take no for an answer.
“He’s waiting already, and I have other errands to send him, so you don’t want to keep him waiting,” he said dismissively.
I nodded, not sure what that was all about, but I thanked him anyway. True to his words, his driver was really waiting for me outside. I got into his car, feeling a bit uncomfortable about the ew change, as he drove me to school.
I couldn’t focus on anything in school. Everywhere I turned, my father was smiling at me, telling me everything would be fine while my hatred for my mom increased with every passing minute of the day.

I can’t believe that I really loved such an evil woman despite how badly she was always treating me. I kept reminding myself that she didn’t have it easy too and I should be a little more understanding when in face was the reason I didn’t have my biggest supporter in my life anymore.
I’d always remind myself that she was my mother and kept making excuses for her, but this was the final straw. I can never bring myself to forgive her even if she came back to her senses and apologized. There was no way I could forget her mocking voice when she told me she was the reason my father was gone.
The bell rang for lunch and I tried to drag my body to the cafeteria, but I felt empty. My stomach was grumbling so bad, I knew I couldn’t skip lunch again.
I grabbed a tray and served my food. As usual, I hid at the corner of the room, mostly because I was too tired today, when I noticed everyone grinning excitedly about something. I tried no to pay them much attention, knowing all they ever do was talk about boys and prank innocent students like me.
At this point, they could throw me into a ditch and I wouldn’t blink. I was exhausted from all the lies, the bully, and I hate to admit that people like them are who people like my mom look up to, while they do the most unspeakable things to others.
I focused on my food, ignoring the background voice when I overheard two ladies sitting close go me giggled excitedly about something like Kael and Damon playing against each other.
The excitement in her tone covered most of her words, but that was enough to grab my attention.
Kael and Damon are playing against each other? I had barely process my thought, when one of the girls spoke again.
“It’s going to be so intense! The last time they played together, Damon almost killed Kael. I’m sure Kael would come back bigger this time,” she drummed her hands on the desk and my body went still.
What the hell really happened between those two?
