Alina's POV:
"What... What truth?" My voice was shaking, and every part of my body was frozen in place.
The woman in the black cloak laughed and caressed my neck with her fingers. "Aren't you curious about why your father is behaving so strangely? Why is he insisting that you marry this man you barely know?"
"What... Why?" My scalp was tingling, and the fear within me almost crippled me. I couldn't focus on her words. I just wanted her to let go of my neck.
The woman seemed to sympathize with me and she sighed. "What a poor thing! You have worked so hard, but you still don't hold a candle to the other daughter in your father's heart."
"The other daughter?" My ears perked up at this important point and my interest was aroused. I automatically asked, "What do you mean? Are you saying that my father has another daughter?" "What do you think? He is giving you up because he has someone better than you." The woman sneered, her voice audibly dripping with mockery. My brain was completely muddled. I felt like this woman was babbling nonsense. My father was a man of integrity. How could he cheat on my mother and have another daughter?
"You don't know, do you? That girl is the daughter of your father and his true love. You, on the other hand, were just an accident."
"What drivel are you spouting?" I was beginning to lose my temper. This woman's claims were getting increasingly ridiculous. My father and mother were deeply in love with each other. How could there have been another woman?
The strange woman didn't take my angrily spoken words to heart. "Really? Don't you wanna know who your father's other daughter is? She is significantly stronger than you. She is also brave and kind-hearted, and has inherited your father's powerful bloodline. Your father adores her. As for you, you are nothing but a burden. You are a piece of garbage in your father's eyes. You don't deserve to inherit the Alpha's position. He obviously has to send you away."
My lips curled up in disdain. "You can continue cooking up stories. My father only has one child --me. If he truly had another daughter, he would have brought her to the pack."
"You are so naive, Alina." The woman scoffed at me, withdrew her hand from my neck, and flashed in front of me. She extracted a crystal ball from her black cloak and handed it to me. "Don't you want to see it with your own eyes? Don't you want to know who this woman is?"
