Chapter 6 On the way home , I received a frantic call from Alpha Lucas .
He was trying to explain himself .
I let out a soft laugh .
Lucas , whatever you say , Ill believe you .
We can still get married as planned , cant we ? He paused for two seconds , then feigned Chapter 6 indignation .
+ 5 Points Josephine , I dream about marrying you every night .
You cant back out now .
What sweet words .
In the past , the naïve me would have believed them without hesitation .
I swallowed the nausea and softened my voice .
Alright , I was just teasing .
Of course , Eclipse pack would never dare take the initiative to break off an engagement with the Silver Claw Pack .
When I got home and saw my parents sitting side by side , as loving as ever , I was overwhelmed with guilt .
After hesitating for a long while , eyes red , I turned to my father and asked , Dad , Claires back .
Shes … shes actually your Illegitimate daughter , isnt she ? Chapter 6 + 5 Points Our gazes locked .
My mother , seated beside him , flared up instantly and demanded an explanation .
My fathers expression darkened .

He finally admitted everything .
Claire was the daughter of his college sweetheart the one he broke up with .
Shed kept the pregnancy a secret and gave birth to Claire on her own .
Nervously , he tried to justify it to my mother .
Its been nineteen years .
Her mothers dying wish was to find me .
I didnt have the heart to turn her away … I accepted Claire under the pretense of adoption , but I never had any ulterior motives .
But Dad back then , you told us Claire was the orphaned daughter of an old friend in Crown Shadow Pack .
Out of kindness , Mom encouraged me to accent this new sister into our lives Chapter 6 +5 Points Even five years ago , when I caught Claire blatantly throwing herself at Alpha Terry the boy Id liked for years and she flew into a rage and pushed me down the stairs … Even then , when the fall gave me a concussion and shattered the bones in my right hand so badly I could never play piano again , not even once did she apologize .
She just blamed me , loudly and shamelessly , for stealing everything that shouldve been hers .
To protect her , Dad , you sent her overseas to study .
And now , five years later , both of your daughters are pregnant with the same mans child .
I turned my face away and wiped the tears Id been holding back .
Taking a deep breath , I said quietly , Chapter 6 + 5 Points Dad , its time you acknowledge her .
If we want that piece of land from the Silver Claw Pack , then let her marry Alpha Lucas in my place .
Claire is carrying his child .
My mothers eyes widened in disbelief .

She jabbed a furious finger at my father .
Buck , how could you ? You heartless man .
You lied to me .
Five years ago you tricked me into raising your illegitimate child .
And now you expect my daughter to sacrifice her marriage for your mistake ? What kind of father does that ? Normally elegant and poised , my mother had transformed into someone unrecognizable -screaming and clawing at my father like a woman pushed past the brink .
In the span of twenty minutes , what started as a quiet return home had turned into a full blown shouting match .
A farce .
Chapter 6 I finally snapped .
Enough ! + 5 Points Mom , who had always been the most innocent in this mess , stared at me with tear filled eyes .
Her lips trembled .
Im so sorry , Josephine .
Im sorry .
I rushed to embrace her .
Mom , please dont be sad for me .
Ill be alright .
I asked them to keep my decision to study abroad a secret , and made Dad promise to carry out my instructions exactly as Id said .
The Eclipse Pack had invested everything into this alliance .

That land Grandfathers legacy was too important .
I couldnt wouldnt stand by and watch Alpha Lucas ruin everything because of some sick obsession .
Chapter 6 + 5 Points Back in my room , I packed two suitcases .
In the process , I pulled out that old journal where Id written ten years worth of confessions about my feelings for Alpha Terry .
Each line bled with the pain of that long , thankless chase .
As I flipped through the first few pages , I noticed something strange the childhood photo I had once pasted inside had been torn out .
The paper beneath was loose , clearly tampered with .
And then it hit me my bracelet .
The Platycodon grandiflorum charm Id worn since I was little .
Id lost it years ago … but had never figured out how .
My hands shook as I unblocked Alpha Terrys number and typed out a message : Alpha Terry , the day you saved me … you dropped a Platycodon grandiflorum bracelet .
Do you remember it ? His reply came quickly Chapter 7 His reply came quickly .
What bracelet ? I froze .
The world stopped spinning .
And then I laughed .
+ 5 Points I laughed until my ribs ached .
Until tears blurred my vision .
