The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya the Author novel Chapter 229

When I woke up, I was in my own bed, dressed in a set of PJs.

Mom sat at the end of the bed reading. It was a love we both shared but I could tell from her body language now that she was just skimming over the pages. Not really reading even though it seemed like she was trying to.

As soon as the sheet rustled as a result of my movement, she looked up with tears in her eyes. By now it was completely dark outside, so I must have been out for at least an hour, maybe even longer.

“Baby, are you okay? Why didn’t you tell us before?” Mom asked me while hugging me tightly.

I knew Hannah’s lashing out at me wasn’t their fault. I knew that if I had told them about what Hannah was doing, they wouldn’t have let her get away with it.

“I am okay, Mom. It’s all healing. I could not tell you and Dad because it would get you into trouble with Alpha Phillip. It is not your fault.”

She hugged me a little tighter, whispering how sorry she was in my hair.

Burying my head in my arms, I started to cry.

And then two more strong arms wrapping around me. The two arms I least wanted to comfort me now but still I could not help but sink into the embrace. Unable to keep on fighting because I had been doing that for too long now.

“Oh, sweetheart, I am so so terribly sorry for not seeing what was happening to you. Please forgive me.” Dad kept apologizing as he hugged me.

I knew I shouldn’t be angry with him. It was not his fault after all. It was my own choice to hide the truth from him. However, I was disappointed at the fact that he did not fight harder for me. He just shrugged and gave up when Alpha Phillip told them I could not change packs. That was why I didn’t want to talk with him now.

“Is that why you want to move to White Oak to live with your grandparents?” He hugged me tighter.

I nodded and tried to comfort Dad, “I know. Dad. But the least thing I want to see is you arguing with David and Alpha Phillip and leaving the pack. Alpha Phillip would never allow that. It will risk a war. Your know Uncle Cedric would go to war over protecting his family.”

“He would, and you’re his favorite niece who would have made it worse. Still, we could have talked about it as a family. Do you really think we

wouldn’t be able to calm down and think this over before jumping into action?” Dad asked me, the hurt clear in his voice.

Making me feel worse, now I felt like I didn’t give my parents enough credit.

“So what? You would just keep living here with Alpha Phillip after you know what he allowed. You would accept Hannah as your Luna when she is the one who keeps beating our beloved daughter up so severely?” Mom’s voice got louder.

“No, I will never accept her, nor will I accept David. He isn’t going to be a better Alpha.” Dad said with a stern look.
