Chapter 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 confront me in a hostile manner inside of his own Pack. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Now tell me, are these rumors I’ve heard true?” He asked me with 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.

Alpha 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 deceiving me all this time?” Andros questioned, his expression a mix of suspicion and uncertainty

The weight of his words settle upon me like 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, leaving me in 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 believe me if 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 give me an answer? The rumors are real, am I right? You’ve denied everything and even asked me lots 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 become worse than this.

Andros hates me because 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 hate me even 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 waited me to 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.

“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 name and 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 at me with 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 takes me to their Pack’s dungeons or he takes me somewhere 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 with me anymore.

Nova’s protests fell into deaf ears as the guards started to drag me away. Suddenly, a loud voice stopped

1. us.

“What’s going on here!” A strong and loud voice halted us into a stop.

When we turned our heads to look where the voice came from, everyone fell into surprise when they instantly recognized Alpha Theron approaching us with his usual line of guards.

“Alpha,” everyone, including Andros lowered their heads to him in reverence. Nova and I also followed suit.

“What are you doing to her?” Where are you taking her?” Alpha Theron demanded again as he freed me from the Pack Warrior’s hold and held me close to him to protect me.

The guards fell silent, their heads cowered even more in fear at his question. Meanwhile, Andros had the opposite reaction, he felt more infuriated to see his father protecting what he thought was his mistress.
