The Apocalyptic Queen's Werewolf Journey (Thora and Darius) novel Chapter 220

Tristan explained with clear impatience, “Laurel switched out Alfie’s DNA a long time ago. She used Felix’s sample instead.”

“So that’s what happened.”

Meanwhile, in the side hall.

Marlon sat in his chair, staring at his silent son. He let out a long, heavy sigh.

“Norman,” he called softly.

Norman’s emotions snapped apart the moment he heard his father’s voice. He shut his eyes, and they turned red. “Dad.”

“You still don’t see what you’ve done wrong?” Marlon asked, his tone heavy with disappointment.

“I…” Norman’s voice caught. Was he really wrong?

“Why do you think our family ended up like this?” Marlon asked again, calmer now.

“If you had treated Diane well, if you hadn’t brought a woman like Laurel into this house, our family wouldn’t be such a mess today. And if you hadn’t been jealous of Thora and fought her for the Alpha position, none of this would have happened.”

In the past, if his father scolded him, Norman would have instantly felt blamed and unfairly treated.

But this time, all he could hear was disappointment. Deep, tired disappointment. And that made him think about his father’s words more seriously than ever.

“But I’m your real son. I’m the first in line to inherit Silverleaf Pack,” Norman finally said, his voice rough.

“When you handed the title to Thora, did you ever think about me? After she was born, you spoiled her, protected her, and followed her wishes. But with me, you only scolded. You told me I wasn’t good enough every single day. Even when you were sick in bed, the first thing you asked was always about Thora, not me.”

He let out a bitter laugh. “Sometimes I wondered if you even saw me as your son or if I was ever yours to begin with.”

After more than ten years, Norman finally spit out the truth he had buried in his heart.

Marlon looked at him and laughed coldly. “Even if I handled you the Alpha title, could you do what Thora did?” Marlon asked. “Could you rise to the rank of major general without using the family connection? Do you have that ability?”

The words hit Norman like a slap.

He froze. Speechless.

Norman had wanted the Alpha seat so he could use the family influence to climb higher in the military.
