Female Novel
Chapter 74
I had barely slept all night, remaining in my office, yet I now returned to my quarters to speak to Soleil… A lot weighed upon her answer.Unlocking the door to our quarters, I stepped inside. ‘You might want to make sure Charlene stays home, Yileyna just tried to get her tosneak out.’ Theon’s voice came through the link. I closed my eyes, exhaling deeply What would I do without him? Theon was a greathelp, although the colour of his eyes often unnerved me. ‘I will handle it. She is far too disobedient.’ I replied through the link beforemind-linking Charlene. ‘Stay in your room until I summon you. This is very important.’ ‘D-dad… is Yileyna ok?’ ‘Perfectly, fear not, I willnot have her punished. It was a mistake – the pendant I mean.’ It was strange to think Charlene was not mine. “Andres! You didn’t comehome; I was worried you had your block up! What is going on!”
Like always, she was dressed perfectly, upholding the image of the perfect queen and luna.
She had known I had been unfaithful, but never asked who or where… Yet knowing that she may havebeen unfaithful to me… it opened an entire new perspective. If it is deemed to be true, what should Ido? Rejecting her would destroy us both… And punishment would only affect me since she was mytrue mate… 2 “A lot is going on.” I said as she kissed me. The familiar sparks rushed through us both.
“What is it?” She asked, her green eyes filled with concern at my expression. “Is it Theon? Can he notget over Yileyna? Maybe you need to have her taken care of! She is a traitor who we do not needanywhere around us!”
She turned away in frustration, and I rubbed my jaw. “Yileyna isn’t going anywhere.” “Meaning?” Sheasked, looking over her shoulder at me. “Are you planning on leaving her in prison? With Theon here, Iwouldn’t advise-”
I simply nodded, waving my hand.
“I’m going to ask you something Soleil, and I want the truth.” I cut in quietly. As my mate, she may beable to defy my command, but I prayed that in good faith she told me the truth that I was becomingmore and more certain of. “Of course, anything Andres, you are worrying me.” “Is Charlene reallymine?” I asked clearly, my alpha command rolled through my words that
shook with power. I had put my all into it, now I could only hope for her to yield to the command and tellme the truth.
Her face paled, her heart thundering and in that moment, I realised I did not need to use my alphacommand upon her. Her reaction alone had already given me the only answer I needed.
I felt… cold and empty. I don’t even know if there was anything for me to even feel angry about. Wehad both cheated on one another and had children with another. I have no idea what the moongoddess was thinking when she paired us… It was obvious we were not a good match. She never gaveme happiness, and I, her.
“Andres… she-”
“I have gotten my answer. Were you planning on hiding it forever?!” 1 thundered, my anger suddenlyreturning with vengeance.
“You raised her as your own Andres, forgive me! ….. We were so desperately trying for a pup b but itwasn’t happening! You should be grateful to me! It wasn’t me that was the issue! I am able to carrypups, there was something wrong with you-” 1
“So I’m to blame?! Cheating was not the answer!” I roared.
She flinched, backing away. I looked around, ripping the huge artwork from the wall. It hit the floor, thewooden frame splintering.
“Andres, she-she’ll hear!” She whispered.
“Who is the father?” I asked coldly, tearing the tapestries from the wall.
My anger was raging within me, and all rationing was gone. My eyes blazed as I broke the cabinet thatstood to the left.
“Answer me, Soleil!” She was trying to defy it, her face paling as she clamped her hand over hermouth, refusing to speak. I strode over to her, pulling her hand from her mouth roughly.” Who is herfather, Soleil!”
She broke into sobs. “It’s it…. it… ah..”
She was fighting it.
“Who is he?!” I roared, and before my eyes, she finally succumbed to the Alpha command, falling to herknees. “G-Grayson is Charlene’s father!” She screamed, anguished. 3
My mind stilled.
Grayson.
My chest heaved, my heart thumping faster than it should.novelbin
My own Gamma… 3
Was it karma that all those I considered my comrades were betraying me one by one? Was this theprice I was paying for my sins?
I ran my hand through my beard, glaring at the woman before me.
“How long was it going on for?” I asked. “You were always busy.., always out…It was not long,” sherobbed, Ah… back then when his mate and son were gone to visit her homelands… + The timing madesense… “Does he know Charlene is his?” I asked murderously, She shook her head, sobbing.
“No! I told no one!”
“And how and when did you notice she was not mine?” I spat resentfully.
“I swear”
“THE TRUTH SOLEIL!” I roared.
“I was desperate! I needed to bear you a child, so you didn’t entertain other women! I did it for you! Tokeep you!” She screamed in desperation. “And so, you decided to become a whore and sleep withanother man!” I growled, upturning the sofa that she was clinging to.
She yelped, backing away with fear in her eyes as it smashed against the far wall. My canines were outnow, my anger barely controllable. “I will only ask once more! When did you realise, she was notmine?!”
“She-she lacked an Alpha aura… When I became pregnant the first two times, I felt the power withinmy womb of an Alpha pup… but… I feared… But she may be yours! We can’t be sure that
she isn’t!” She begged, crawling over to me.
I shook my head.
We both knew she wasn’t.
“No. Charlene isn’t my daughter. I was told a certain fact, which I hid in fear that one of our pups thatdied before they saw this world was the heart. But the prophecy said it would be my first-born femalechild. Charlene is not mine because my daughter is younger than her, and she already holds far morepower than your daughter!” I hissed. “Y-your daughter?” Soleil was confused and fearful.
“Yes, my real daughter. I have found her, Soleil.”
I heard a soft whimper from behind me and I froze.
She was not meant to hear that…
I turned to see the child I had considered my own standing there, her eyes full of pain and shock as shestared at me and Soleil in complete horror. This was not the way I planned to break the news to her…
“Charlene.” I said, withdrawing my canines and claws. 3 “Charlene!” Soleil scrambled to her feet, butthe girl simply shook her head as she backed away, her heart beating violently before she ran into herbedroom, shutting the door with a resounding bang.
I clenched my jaw, about to unleash hell upon the woman before me, but first, there was one other whodeserved to be punished.
‘Henry, I know you are busy with your son, but I need you to have Gamma Grayson Sanchezapprehended immediately for treason.’
Alpha.., that… we have a serious situation at the hospital to handle first.’
“What is it?’ I growled.
What was more important was that he wasn’t even stunned that I was asking for my Gamma to bethrown into prison?
‘It’s Yileyna De’Lacor.’ My eyes snapped to the window, realising it was a lot darker.
Selene…
The sky was dark, and all I could see was the menacing storm that was brewing. Over my own angerand shouting, I hadn’t even noticed it.
Something had triggered Yileyna into losing control.
