“Exchange… my mate?” My eyes widened with shock as I stared at my father.“Don’t you agree?” Father squinted his eyes and continued, “Chloe, you’re the eldest child in our family, don’t be selfish! You need to put the pack’s reputation first! Got it?”I could not believe that the only time my father willingly acknowledged my identity as his eldest daughter was because he wanted to take my mate away from me.I felt cold, like fell into endless abyss, more bleak dark! I turned to look at Vanessa, who was calm and kept smiling. It was clear that she had expected this.It turned out that this was the revenge she had planned for me. She would take away my only hope in this world—Alan.Alan was all I had!If he was taken away from me, I would truly be left with nothing.I bit my lip hard and tried my best to suppress the anger. I would not give Alan up anyhow.I had to stick up for myself this time!“Father…” I clenched my fists and screwed up enough courage to say, “I’m willing to sacrific

A red blinding rage coursing through my veins as Vanessa tugged me toward father’s conference room.I struggled to free myself but failed. Vanessa’s aura was so powerful that it almost pushed me back. “Don’t you dare resist me! You worthless cunt!” she warned me in a low tone, and her hand gripped my tiny neck. She didn’t loosen her grip until saw my face turned pale. Then she pushed me into the conference room.The bright lights inside were a bit too harsh and made my eyes blur. I blinked my eyes continuously and saw my father sit in gloomy silence. Lisa was next to him.I also saw that Alan and the man I had saved last time, the man who was meant to be Vanessa’s mate.The moment the door opened, they were looking at me. Vanessa couldn’t stand for Alan to spare another second on me. She ran up to him and hugged his arm close.I shifted my gaze from them over to my father, awaiting his instructions. I had to obey his orders no matter what he asked.My life was enough terrible and th

My mind was dazed before I recognized what was happening. I almost fell onto the ground as my body trembling vehemently.Why? Father had accepted Blake into the pack and promised he would treat us well.What on earth had happened?“Where are they?” I asked anxiously.One of the maids rolled her eyes at me and mocked, “Why the hell would we tell you?”“Leave away from us! We’re busy with work! We don’t have time to…”“Damn! Just tell me where they are right now!” I blurt out in sudden rage, and my eyes constricted with anger.My roar frightened them. They cringed and stammered, “They… they’re in the basement.”Something pierced through my chest while their response rang in my ears. I gritted my teeth and ran to the basement without looking back. I could still hear the two maids whispering with each other behind me.“What the hell? Why’d she get so intimidating all of a sudden?”“Tsk…Did you see that? I saw something horrible flashed in her eyes…”The maids’ voices faded as the distanc

That porridge made me newly alive since I didn’t eat anything a few days ago. My legs were not longer weaken as I walked down the stair.I didn't bring anything with me. Nothing in the room truly belonged to me anyway.A maid saw me while I reached the corner, raised her eyebrows and said, "Finally come out. Hurry up and go to work!"I ignored her rude words and walked away."You stupid wench! Ignore me? You’re just a rogue’s mate!" The maid scolded behind me, but I still kept smiling sarcastically.After a few steps, another person stopped me.It was Mila, Vanessa's loyal dog who always bullied me."Where are you going?" She raised her chin and looked at me arrogantly, "Find your lowly mate?""Get out of my way." I said coldly, clenching my fists.She sneered, raised her hand to block me, "No way! I won't let you go, what can you do?"I stared at her, eyes full of anger. she raised her hand and was about to push me, I slapped her hand away, and warned again, "Get out of my way!""How

“Chloe, wake up,” A woman's gentle and ethereal voice rang out.My eyelids twitched a little.“My darling, please open your eyes,” the woman said. I felt a warm hand caress my cheek.Who might she be?My mind came up blank. Whoever it was wasn’t important.It was too painful… Living on was too difficult… I no longer wanted to live.“My darling, please open your eyes...” The woman’s voice sounded choked up. “Open your eyes and look at mother.”I was startled by that. My brain began to process what I had just heard.The woman said that she was my mother.No, that couldn’t be possible!My mother was dead. If she were still alive, my life wouldn’t be as miserable as it was. She was lying…“Darling, it’s really me. Please open your eyes.” The woman said, her voice filled with grief. I felt my heart ache on her behalf.I had never once experienced what motherly love was. To me, mother was but a photo in a picture frame. But I could not bear to see her upset.I felt my heart soften as she
