The Beta’s Rejected Daughter
Chapter 164
Damon POV
Clive’s message popped up on my phone, and it came with a photo of Fiona.
“You won’t believe who I saw now… Fiona.” His message reads.
I replied quickly.
“Where are you?”

Clive answered awkwardly, explaining himself, defending his presence like it mattered because the party was the Colon family, which we weren’t on good terms with.
I don’t know what issues they have with my father, which I don’t care about. After all. Raina, one of the family, had been friends with Fiona.
What I was concerned about was Fiona. I wanted to see her.
‘Make a video call and show me my sister.” I typed but quickly deleted the sister. “… show me Fiona.”
Then came the video call.
‘You look tired and uneasy.” Clive said in a low voice, frowning.”
If only he knew all I had been going through.
Turn the camera,” I said, ignoring his initial comment.
Clive blinked. “… You’re seriously in need to see her, but there is no anger and hatred in your voice Itschke you missed her!” He said, and I hissed.
‘Please do as I say!”
That single word was enough. Clive didn’t question it again.
The camera shifted, pointing toward her, and through the screen, I watched.
She was standing alone, her back straight, glowing like a true royal bgure Even without seeing her face she sull looked like a queen in her world
My gaze lowered slightly, and something thickered in my chest
Regret
Memories of the past surfaced uninvited again, and I could recall the day she was taken to the prosecution
hall.
She looked at me like her lifeline, like he was someone she could trust to save her
That version of her didn’t exist anymore. And somehow it hurts because I knew I was the one that killed

that version in her.
I clenched my jaw but said nothing. There was nothing left to say as I cut the call.
FIONA POV
The night air was cooler on the balcony, quieter too, far away from the noise of the gathering, where wolves pretended to smile while silently measuring each other’s strength, scent, and status.
| leaned against the railing, a glass of champagne in hand, my eyes fixed on the city below Lights flickered ike scattered embers, each one marking territory, power, and everything layered beneath the surface
Fiona,” Clive called from behind.
sighed, wondering for a moment why he was at this party in the first place. “You’re on decent terms with he Jenson family, aren’t you?”
didn’t turn as I continued.
And yet you’re here,” I added calmly. “At the Colon family gathering. That’s… interesting when you know he two families aren’t on good terms.”
There was a pause behind me, followed by a scoff. “You think I want to be here?” he muttered. “If it weren’t or my brother-”
He cut himself off. “It won’t be smart to explain anything to you.”
took another sip, still not looking at him. “So you are aware you’re not particularly smart, right?” I said latly.
Silence followed.
… What do you mean?”
finally glanced at him, brief and sharp. “Use what little sense you have and leave. You’re ruining the view.
He nearly choked on his drink, and from his gaze I could tell he was realising what talking to me felt like Exactly what happened with Damon back then.
He couldn’t argue further or snap back. He just retreated tast but not far enough.
I could still feel his presence lingering at the edge of the hallway, watching me like I was a strange creature
Lignored him, lemng the silence scule around me I hushed the champagne and set the glass aside before pulling out my phone
I scrolled through my contacts for who to call
Andy? No. Busy with his new contract
Raina? Not tonight, when she was handling a lot in the birthday party I had told her I would stay low–key. which is why I was here and didn’t join her going around in the party. I wasn’t in the mood for partying
