Chapter 60 Charlotte:
“Enough is enough, father.” | said, stopping my father. His eyes widened, and | was forced to hold my grounds, knowing that he would do nothing more than hurt me if he desired.
The anger that he held toward me was one that | was never going to live out of, but | knew better than to submit to him right now, especially since he wanted me to marry the one person that | didn’t want to be with.
“You chose your first mate...” “He was a man that YOU chose for me, | simply made my preference...”
“By defying your father, by losing your fucking title, and by submitting to him as a consort. Do you really believe that anyone would be looking at you if not for me standing up for you?” He asked, glaring daggers at me. He has been throwing that in my face for the past month, and this was the sixth man he brought over, wanting me to marry. Even | was getting tired of being showed off like some package, and that was something that he not only seemed to find normal, but was something that he wanted me to accept upon myself.
“| went to Dimitri with you. YOU chose to want me as his bride to ensure stronger relations. You fought to send me away toa man that YOU chose for me, and when | did my duty to ensure that | was not fucked by a man that | did not like...” he slapped me, stopping me from saying another word. | glared at him as a low growl rumbled from my chest. He grabbed me by my chin, digging his nails in my skin, forcing me to look him in the eye just as the door opened.
Nikita, his mistress, well, ex mistress, she was now his wife. The woman that he cheated on my mother with and chose to marry a month after | lost my own mother.
“Oh, my love, you know that it would do you no good to keep upsetting yourself like this.” She said, and | glared at her.
“Stay the fuck out of this, Nikita.” | said, glaring at the woman. My father pushed me back, and | glared at the two of them, knowing that he was going to throw another series of insults. But | was not going to give up on Dimitri that easily, and | was NOT going to be sent off like some slave to a man who would do nothing more than enter my bed for a fuck to ensure that | am bred like some maiden. “By our wolf laws, | am still a maiden to Dimitri until he says otherwise, and you know what it is, father, to defy an Alpha. | cannot take that risk for myself, you, and my pack, especially since it was ME who ran away.”
“He kicked you out and has no word...”
“| was brought back in and was told to stay. In case you are forgetting, it was us who chose to make me leave, and that is something that he can hold against me. Now, | know that neither one of you care about this, but | am going to have to wait until the right timing to make sure that everything goes the way that | want it to. ONLY then would | be able to reclaim my place and send that bastard to where she came from.” | said, and my father raised an eyebrow.
“You are going to plan on what?” He asked, and Nikita scoffed, clearly making fun of me. | knew that neither one of them would be believing in me. But had it been up to the way that he wanted things to go, | wouldn’t have been in Dimitri’s life to begin with. Hell, he would have had a hundred other women entering and leaving his bed and | would have been sent home a long time ago.
“| was the girl that you sent to be deflowered by the Alpha,” | said, reminding him of the facts. He had accepted selling me, even if in theory he wanted to send me as a ‘bride’, it was for an Alpha to claim me as his own. And | knew that it annoyed him more than anything that | chose MY/own way. The one thing that | never did calculate for was the fact that the elders would choose a bride for the Alpha or the fact that he would never accept mating me no matter the years spent together. “I chose my path and | was able to build my own way the way that | wanted it. Whether or not you guided me never made a difference when | was in the hands of the Alpha...”
“Yes, it was why he married the girl that you considered ‘friend.” He mocked, and | took a deep breath. It was true, for a very long time, | did consider Aurora as my friend, but the one thing that | was never able to tell her was that | was a consort for the Alpha. By the time that | was sent as his maiden, she was in university, finishing her higher studied while | was sent by my father from one man to another as if | was some cheap product that he wanted to get rid of.
The funniest part about the whole thing was that it was people who adopted her as a daughter who fought to ensure that she
finished her higher studied, and MY birth parent who sent me as a maiden. It sickened me and was one of the first times where | actually felt the jealousy of someone that | had once considered a friend.
It was my first break point, and | had to admit, | never did think that it would get any further, well, that was at least until she was assigned as a bride to the man that | fought hard to be with. Something inside me died that night, and | knew that | had two. options. Either | took a stand or | backed away, and | knew that | didn’t sacrifice everything to just back away.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“He mated with her, but he neither marked her, nor claimed her as his.” | said, and my father raised an eyebrow. “Therefore, until that happened, he is mine, and | am not going to give up until | prove it...”
