Ran Away Pregnant Came Back Alpha Heiress (Amelia and Damien) novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163

“Yes,” I said. “I’m from the human realm. I know nothing of the werewolf world.”

“Well.” The Alpha King sighed again and then lowered his hands. “I’m glad we at least got to the truth of the matter. It doesn’t solve much, though. Now I need to decide what to do with you…”

I looked at him, my fear welling in my throat. “Is there any way we can reach a peaceful solution?”

He paused a moment. “Truly, you do remind me of my daughter.”

“Your… daughter?”

“Stay here,” he said and stood. Then he walked out the door, leaving me behind.

Damien’s POV

I thought for sure the guards would take me back to the dungeon, but instead, I was left standing in the courtyard with Jake and a few guards peppered around. They were keeping an eye on us, but I wasn’t overly upset by that. Not if it meant I could keep seeing daylight.
