Chapter 37

I stood up and walked slowly to the door,wondering who could be there.

“Good morning Miss Müller, The Alpha sent you these dresses for the upcoming ball,” the lady dressed in maid’s outfit said and l’used my hands to clean my be sure I wasn’t hearing wrong.

“If you’ll excuse me..,” she said.

“Oh..,” I didn’t realize she was waiting for me to move out of the way to allow the other maids to bring the dress.

I moved out of the way and they brought a whole rack filled with different colours and styles of dress.

goddess!!,Lucien!!,this is just a ball!. I don’t need this many clothes.

I stood frozen with mouth agape, as the racks of dresses were wheeled into her room. It was like a dream come true, a fantasy made real. I’ve never seen so many beautiful dresses in one place, and I was still finding it hard to believe that they were all for me.

They walked away and I shut the door excitedly,running my fingers along the fabric, feeling the softness and the quality. It was like something out of a movie. It took all the energy in me to stop myself from screaming out in excitement.

There was a knock on the door and I quickly opened it,thinking it’d be Lucien and he’d come to check how excited I was.

“What are all these?!,” she exclaimed,her eyes glinting in amusement.

“Lucien,” I said softly,a smile playing on my l*ps.

“Ooouuu,you two lovebirds are at it. I’m happy for you,” she said and I giggled.

“They’re really beautiful,” she commented her fingers trailing over the fabrics.

“I knoww,thank you,” I Said, smiling widely.

“I don’t even know which of these dresses to wear to the ball. They’re just too many and too beautiful for me to pick just one,” I exclaimed.

“Well,now I’m here,let me help you pick one,” she said and began to pick the dresses,one at a time,dropping them back with a ‘no’

She finally picked one velvety red one. It was really beautiful and she smiled.

“This suits you,” she said and I smiled. It looks good.

“I’ll wear it,” I said with excitement.

“Seeing you both in love and happy now makes me feel like having my own mate,” She said and I chuckled.

“Why did you reject Greyson?,” I questioned and when I saw the look on her face,instantly rejected it. She looked hurt.

“Oh, I’m sorry. That was so insensitive of me,” I said,realizing that it wasn’t a good topic to speak of.

There was silence first before she continued. “No. It’s..it’s fine. It’s just that I do not want to be reminded of the past again,” she said and I nodded,knowing what she

meant.

“I’m sorry,” I said again.

“It’s fine. It’s just. You know…he’s a good man and all. How could I torture him by tying him up with me?,a murderer when he had his whole life ahead of him and I was sure he wouldn’t reject me,” I stated.

“Well….,” I didn’t want to tell her that, she brought it upon herself when she decided to murder father.

She had told me she’d explain everything when the time was right but it seems the time isn’t yet right for her.

“I know I promised to tell you about father. But it’s just that I haven’t had the proof I need. I don’t want you to see me as a liar or that I’m just trying to lie my way around,” she exclaimed and sat down.

“Well just tell me now then! Since you say it’s the truth, I’ll know if you’re lying or not,” I said as I made to sit beside her.

“It’ll be hard for you to believe it. It’s hard to take it in,” she said and I me ntally rolled I’ll listen to what she has to say and it’s up to me to believe it or

“Give me a drink please,” she said and I looked at her suspiciously.

She rolled her eyes and laughed. “Come on,I need to take something to be able to narrate something so hard to believe,a long tale by all means,” I scoffed and

opened the refrigerator in the room.

“Wine?,” I questioned.

“Spirit. A Strong one,” she stated and I looked at her,raising a brow quizzically.

If there was one thing that weakened Eve the most,it was alcohol. She had an unnaturally low tolerance for alcohol,like our father.

“Are you sure?,” I questioned again and she nodded.

“I don’t know when you started taking strong drinks,” I commented and she shrugged.

“I’ve been training myself,” she said.

“Well,I’m happy for your growth,” I said,pouring myself a glass of wine.

“I came back from the academy one evening,mother had gone shopping and I believe you were with a friend,” she started and took a gulp of her drink.

“I was about to head to our room to sleep when I saw father in our mother’s room. He was going through her things and then he picked some papers and took them to his room,” I took a sip of the wine as my eyes darted to her face,her face was expressionless.

“He looked furious and I swear to you Amara,I have never seen that look on father’s face before. I was shocked. Shocked and surprised. His eyes met mine and I was scared,scared of what he’d do to me,scared of what was going to happen. Then he began to talk. Mother had been unfaithful. She had cheated on him. She got pregnant and pinned the pregnancy on him and she gave birth to the baby. Father has been raising another man’s baby as his…..,” she was still saying when I cut her off quickly.

“You’re lying. You’re telling a big fat lie. Mother would never do that!,” I yelled at

her.

Mother was the purest soul I know of. She wouldn’t cheat on father!.

“Why do you think she never said anything?,how did you think I left Silverpine?. I was still I child!,I couldn’t have survived all on my own!,” she said and I paled as

breath hitched in my chest.

“You..you..you’re…you’re saying…” I stuttered.

“Oh yes!. Mother never threw me away. She sent me to the French pack to stay. with her friend over there. She knew that I did what I did to protect her,to protect you!,to protect us!!,” she yelled.

“No,” I shook my head in denial.

Father wouldn’t have hurt us. He wouldn’t have tried to do anything. He might’ve sent me away,but he won’t hurt us..

She chuckled bitterly. “I killed my own father,how did you think I felt?. I killed my own birth father for my half sister who despises me and who turned me in. For protecting her!,” she bit out and I kept shaking my head,refusing to believe that my dear darling father tried to hurt me and my own mother cheated and I was a product of her infidelity.

“He faced me and told me squarely that he would kill you and dump you and nob*dy would remember you. He said after all you were never supposed to have existed. And then as for mother,she would finish what she started. He spoke of poisoning you or strangling you at night when you slept. He told me not to have compassion for you as you were after all a filth,” she shot out and my tears began to drop.

“He was so happy speaking of all that. Like he had gone mad and I began to wonder if this man was my father. The man that is ever so kind and

compasssionate,” She finished,downing her drink in a single shot as she smacked her l*ps.

“It was hard,but I knew what needed to be done. I knew I had to do it and I didn’t want anyone to love me for doing that. I just wanted to do it and disappear. So when he turned his back to me, to retrieve that poison he was speaking of,I struck. He didn’t notice that when he was speaking,my hands were in my pocket,where I had kept the dagger he got for me,”

“It was ironical. Killing him with the dagger he had given me on my birthday to protect my sister with. It seems it was him I needed to protect her from,” she narrated and I was still sobbing now,muttering “no no no no.”

I stood up suddenly,wiping my tears.

“You’re lying. You’re only saying all these to make me like you and trust you more,” I shot out.

She stood up and removed a dagger from her waist. I was surprised. So she always moved with a dagger!.

She held my palm and cut it with the dagger and then cutting her,she joined our palms together.

It was an ancient swear. It means she was telling the truth. I cried and she consoled. me,holding me in her arms as she promised to continue protecting me.
