Chapter 74

Anita’s Pov

I stood, still confused by the feigned care my stepmother was pulling. She called me her daughter, one that she herself orchestrated to get rid of three years ago.

I couldn't help but look at her with pure disdain and a bit of confusion. I am glad Alpha Hades didn't let himself be pulled by her feigned innocence.

His expression changed to a more colder one and he signalled Damian to come closer from a distance.

As Damian walked up, Alpha Hades gestured for him to escort her out. The hostility in her eyes hadn’t dimmed, but she held her composure, giving Alpha Hades a tight smile before turning on her heel, walking away with Damian trailing behind. I couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt. The Beta, Damian, loyal and vigilant as always, was often left to handle these unappealing tasks. Alpha Hades turned to watch them leave, a brief flicker of relief crossing his face before he sighed, looking back at me.
