I gasped and stared deeply into his eyes. "My father… did what?" I muttered, fearfully.

"You heard me. Now, tell me… would you be so eager to "protect" a child of your mother's killer?" Sariel smirked coldly.

"I am nothing like him!" I burst out, "I don't even resemble him in the slightest! You know very well that his features are determined by the wolf gene, which I don't have!"

"Is that supposed to be the reason why I should protect you from him?" He chuckled mockingly.

I clenched my teeth. There was no way I could cover my tracks in New Argent City after three days. Until then, my father would surely mobilize an army of wolves to block every possible communication road out of the city. I could as well give myself in. Duke's protection was the only chance I had to survive…

"I'm… begging you…" I mumbled, "You have a reason to hate my father, but so do I…"

"Oh, poor little princess! Do you think I care that you rebelled because you and your father had issues?" Sariel sneered.

"What my father had prepared for me is not some political marriage!" I cried out, "I would be expected to give birth to a male wolf, and then I would surely be killed once I'm not needed anymore!"

"I seriously doubt that D'Apolito would let anyone hurt his own blood," Sariel claimed, still mocking my desperation.

"His own blood? You know nothing about him, do you?" I chuckled bitterly. "He is a person that forcefully took me away from my mother and then made sure that no one would adopt me. He experimented on my blood, and because of that, the nuns at the orphanage mercilessly drained me every three days! If it wasn't for the fact that some of my special genes were supposed to activate after I became an adult, I would probably have been sold when my first period appeared! And… when I turned eighteen and I was brought before him, do you know what he said to me? He said, "Good that I didn't kill that thing right after birth, now it can at least bring me a fortune." Those were the words of the person who called himself "my father"! Now, tell me that I don't have a reason to hate him?!" I shouted while swallowing tears.

Sariel glanced at me and smirked. Then he grabbed my hand and pulled me up from my knees.

"So what? Do you want me to pity you? I don't keep around me people that are useless," he stated harshly.
