NovelEnglishChapter 128: Father's Mistress Astrid's POV Finally, I understood why he is so indifferent and hostile towards me. It turns out, he is Alpha Theron's son, and with that he could do whatever he wants in the Pack without any consequences.
He had the rights to confrontin a hostile manner inside of his own Pack.
"Now tell me, are these rumors I've heard true?" He askedwith an accusatory glare.
I fell silent at his question, without knowing what answer to give him. Should I tell him that I am his half-sister? Clearly he doesn't have any idea about this.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlpha Theron hasn't told him anything yet so why should I tell him my real identity? This is something that Alpha Theron should have done, and maybe he hadn't done it because of a reasonable explanation.
A hard truth like this is something that Andros should find out from his father and not from her.
"Well?" he pressed, his tone laced with a hint of desperation. "I need to know Astrid. Have you been deceivingall this time?" Andros questioned, his expression a mix of suspicion and uncertainty The weight of his words settle uponlike a heavy cloak. My heart pounded inside my chest as I grappled with what answer I should give him. I opened my mouth to speak, but the words seemed to catch in my throat, leavingin a pensive silence.
In the end, I could only shut my mouth and lower my head which also admittedly proved his suspicions even further.
How could I tell him that the rumor affair was just a twist of fate, a misunderstanding that spiraled out of control? I'm sure he wouldn't even believeif I reveal to him that I am his half-sister.
Andros's expression darkened, his jaw clenching with frustration. "So you admit it, then?" he accused, his words laced with a bitterness that cut like a knife. "Why can't you givean answer? The rumors are real, am I right? You've denied everything and even askedlots of questions to deter me. You knew everything that I have spoke of, didn't you?" My gaze fell to the ground, my thoughts racing as I grappled with the dilemma in front of me. If I reveal the truth, I believe things would only becworse than this.
Andros hatesbecause he thinks that I've been seducing is father. If he finds out that I am his half-sister and he thinks that it was my mother who seduced his father and had an affair with him, for sure he would only hateeven more if he finds out that truth.
Lifting my eyes to meet Andros's gaze, I could see the conflicting emotions across his features. He waitedto say something... anything, but I remained silent.
"Guards, seize her!" he shouted and as soon as his command has left his mouth, his guards that were closely following behind him, surrounded and grabbed my both arms.
Seeing the turn of events, Nova's eyes widened. She dropped the basket that she was carrying and immediately intervened to rescue me. "What are you doing? You can't do this to her without Alpha Theron's permission." Nova fought back.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Alpha Theron is my father, as his eldest child and only son, I do not need to have his permission," Andros retorted, but Nova refused to back down.
"We are the Alpha's guests. You cannot touch us without the Alpha's permission!" Nova shouted back. "Nova," I whispered her nand grabbed her arm when I saw her open her mouth once again.
I know that she is itching to tell Andros the truth, that I am his half-sister which I know would never make any difference.
"As the future Alpha of the Shadowfang Pack, he has the authority to do this," I stopped her with my words. Nova looked atwith her brows pressed together and the unwillingness to yield against Andros's words. We both had no idea what Andros is planning to do with me. It's possible that he takesto their Pack's dungeons or he takessomewhere else.
However, knowing that I'm his half-sister will surely never stop him from doing any of that.
"Let's just do what he says, Nova," I clenched her hand to assure her, but my words didn't ease any worries that she has.
Andros got even more infuriated when he saw how I was acting. First, I was playing the role of an innocent, now I'm playing the role of a hero, a person wrongfully accused yet willing to go with the procedure.
"Take her away!" Andros commanded without bothering to argue withanymore.
Nova's protests fell into deaf ears as the guards started to dragaway. Suddenly, a loud voice stopped us. "What's going on here!" A strong and loud voice halted us into a stop.
