The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 707

Confrontation Between...

Alina's POV:

My eyes went wide in fear and shock. My first instinct was to throw the dagger away.

But Noreen held it in my hand tightly and said, "Think about it, Alina. Do you really think your father will just let you go after you did this to him?" "N—no! "I stammered. I struggled subconsciously, tears and snot running down my face. "I just wanted him to sleep for a while and not get in my way. I don't want him to die! He's still my father. How can I kill him?"

My mind was a complete mess and I couldn't help but ramble.

Noreen didn't seem to have the patience to waste her breath on me anymore. She clamped her other hand on my shoulder, as though to prevent me from running away. "Listen, Alina, you have no way out. You're not his only daughter. He has... Other choices."

"Other choices..." I murmured incoherently.

I knew she was right. I had no other choice, but being family was a magical thing. I resented my father for marrying me to some stranger as a political move. But now that I was being told to kill him, I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Blood ran thicker than water. It wasn't easy to kill family in cold blood. When I imagined a life without my father in it, my heart ached terrible.

"Alina, wake up!" Noreen snapped. He never cared about you. If he did, he wouldn't have been so anxious to marry you off to another pack. To him, you're nothing but an obstacle to his plan of passing the position of Alpha to his other choices. The new Alpha may be Warren or his other daughter, but it will never be you."

I was stunned when I heard this.

Noreen was right. My father had never even considered making me an heiress. He just wanted me to marry someone. My pack was no longer my home...

Once my crimes were exposed, I'd be despised by the world. That was the best case scenario. I hated to even think of what the worst case scenario would be...

It was better to silence my father now before anyone found out.

Noreen let go of my hand, leaving the dagger with me. "It's up to you," she said indifferently.

Then she turned around and left.

I was so scared out of my wits. How did he manage to recover so soon? "One more step and I... I'll really kill you!"

"Shut up, Alina! How dare you threaten to kill your own father? I raised you! This is how you repay me?"

My father's eyes were burning with anger and blue veins stood out on his forehead. If he wasn't poisoned right now, he would've beat the crap out of me.

I bit my lower lip and forced myself to calm down.

"Put down the dagger, Alina. There's nothing we can't fix. You're still my daughter. Let's have a talk, okay?" To my surprise, my father suddenly softened his tone.

"Shut up!" I couldn't stand hearing him talk about our relationship as father and daughter. It hurt too much for him to call me his daughter.

I glared at him and shouted, "You never loved me. You only love Sylvia! You're Sylvia's father, not mind!"

My father was stunned and he stopped in his tracks. "You knew?"
