NovelEnglishChapter 125: Scandalous Rumor Alpha Theron's POV My face flushed with rage as I bolted upright, slamming my fist down on the sturdy wooden table with a resounding crack.
The Warrior in front ofvisibly flinched. He lowered his head submissively after he had delivered the most outrageous report that I ever heard. My lips thinned as my chest heaved with rapid and shallow breaths. "This is preposterous!" I roared in anger.
How could those people easily believe this kind of rumor? Who would even cup with it? My heart burned in anger just at the thought of it. "Alpha, please don't get angry at me, I'm just delivering the news that I heard," the warrior spoke in a small voice without looking at me. Upon hearing his voice, my piercing gaze turned back to the cowering warrior who cowered even more.
"I-I'm sorry, Alpha," he swallowed hard, unable to meet my gaze.
I just sighed, containing my anger in. It's unfair ofto direct my anger to him when this is not even his fault. I shouldn't blhim for his report.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI clenched my jaw as I restlessly paced back and forth across the room. I couldn't comprehend how this scandalous rumors had circulated among the Packs and even infiltrated my Pack and poisoned the minds of my own people.
Rumors of an affair with Astrid? Preposterous! The more I thought about it, the more it fueled my anger.
How could they think that I'm having an affair with my own daughter. Once the truth is out, I'm sure they would vomit in disgust for believing such a disgusting and outrageous rumor.
"Where did these vicious rumors cfrom?!" I demanded with a loud voice.
"I haven't started any investigation yet, Alpha. I chere to report it as soon as possible after I heard it," he answered in a low voice.
I paused and slowly nodded my head. "This rumor... Is it really the talk of all the Packs?" I asked him.
"Yes, Alpha. There's no one who hasn't heard about it. People are feasting on this rumor. They all believe it like it was verified news," he replied. "What should we do about this, Alpha? People are laughing at us, this rumor will continue to destroy our reputation if we just let it be." I shut my eyes tight as I thought about the long-term effects of this rumor to our Pack. Since the Nightsong Pack is included in this rumor, this will also surely negatively affect them.
"Alpha, why don't we just announce that Astrid is your daughter in public?In that way, this rumors will be easily silenced," he eagerly suggested.
I heaved a sigh. If I could do that, I would have done that before this rumor even started.
I'm not ashamed that Astrid is my daughter. In fact, I wanted to proclaim to the whole world that she is MY daughter.
I wanted the whole world to know that Astrid is my daughter and those who had offended her and will offend her in the future will be subjected to me.
However, I had to honor her wishes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs I remember how much Astrid had suffered during my absence, my heart aches because I could have been there to protect her and defend her. I have failed her so many times. She had lived a miserable life because of me.
Now that we finally met again, I could finally do things that I should have done for her a long tago. "Alpha, should I make the announcement?" He probed when I didn't give an answer.
My expression softened as I considered the weight of his question. "Astrid is indeed my daughter I began, "A daughter I was only recently reunited with after years of separation." I paused once again as I slowly faced him with a resolute stare in my eyes, "This is a special and personal matter forand my family. Astrid meand deserves to be honored and be introduced to the public in a special way." My expression turned hard and serious. "This special announcement won't be made light and simple. I shall introduce my daughter to the whole world with the best and most memorable event."
"Then Alpha, shall we start making the preparations for this event that you talk about? The sooner thatm everyone knows that Astrid is your daughter, the safer it would be for us. In that way, we could stop the rumors from circulating before it gets bigger and gets out of our control," he suggested once again.
I pursed my lips as itched to say yes and act behind my daughter's back. However, I don't want to break her trust that is not even fully there yet.
"We can't do that," I shut my eyes as I forced out my answer.
His eyes widened at my answer. "What shall we do then?"
I sighed even more. "When the tis right, I will present my daughter to the world. Until then, mus ask for your discretion. No one can know about this yet." Liam's brows furrowed. "But the rumor, Alpha-"
this scanda "Just do as I say," I raised my voice, cutting him off from his words. "Just make sure that these rumors don't reach our Pack. No one must know this scandalous rumor, especially Astrid, Asha and my son, Andros." Liam nodded solemnly, understanding the weight of the situation. All he could do is just submit to my decisions.
