Chapter 81
“Impossible,” Alexia, Alpha Simon's daughter jumped out of her queen-sized bed and headed towards Gara who knelt beside her bed. “How is she like me?” She demanded.
Luna Maria had dragged Cara into her daughter's room immediately to spot the difference between the two and she found none. They were alike which would make her plan easier.
“She looks like you my daughter” Maria said to her daughter.
“But she smells like a Rankless wolfi” Alexa shouted.
Cara could only stare at the girl who bear a resemblance to her except for the dark spot On Alexa's and different hair color. One would think that they were twins. “You stole my face!” Alexa yelled and lunged at Cara who knelt on the ground. She landed a slap on her face and grabbed a handful of her hair. “Why do you look like me? ” she demanded. “Mother,” she turned to face her mother. “You had two of us?” Her mother shook her head and kicked Cara with her heels. “I would never have a rankless wolf as my daughter,” she said and circled Cara.
“Then why does she have my face? She needs to be punished for it” Alexa grinned at Cara and dragged her around the room by her hair.
She pulled her towards the bathroom while Luna Maria watched her wondering what his daughter was about to do. Alexa pushed the bathroom door opened and pushed Cara inside.
“How dare you a dirty wolf has the same face like minel"Alexa yelled. She turned on the Jacuzzi and filled it up with water. When it was filled and pouring out, Alexa dipped Cara's head into the water.” you wolf with no rank stole my face and gave me a face with spots. I should be the one with that face! I should be the one with the clean face!” She raised Cara's head fror the water.
Cara gasped for breath and shouted. “Please lets me go, “She begged. While coming to the Capital after taken away from he; home, Cara thought that she would come to the city where she would find at least a person who would be kind enough to accept a rankless wolf in the City but it's was the opposite. She was hated first by the woman who bought her and now, by her daughter who had the same face as her.
Fate was cruel towards Cara and it was just the beginning.
“let's you go!” Alexa hit her on the face. “After you stole my face! ” she screamed and grabbed Cara's throat. “All of my life, I wanted a pretty face not knowing that someone out there had stolen my face! ” She tried to push Cara into the Jacuzzi but instead, Cara's head made contact with the Jacuzzi and sent her ears ringing. Cara groaned out in pain as she fell and blacked out. Blood pooled out from her forehead and stained the bathroom floor.
“Is she dead!" Alexa shouted and kicked Cara.
“Wake up you peasant!” She yelled. “Give me back my face!”
“That's enough Alexa," Her mother Luna Maria who had stood at the entrance of the bathroom watching how her daughter treated Cara finally stopped her daughter from hitting the unconscious Cara. “It's enough!” She dragged her daughter out of the bathroom and closed the door.
“Why did you bring her to our home! Are you trying to show my father that you have another daughter out again? You want my father to hate me more because of my face.” Alexa cried out and pointed to her face covered in dark spots.
“She is not my daughter!” Luna Maria retorted.
* I only bought her here to replace you at the palace."
“At the castle?" Alexa asked. “She is going to replace me?"
“Yes, and..."
Alexa screamed out and rushed towards her desk. It was beside her queen-sized bed. She grabbed the first thing she saw or the table and placed it on her neck. “I am going to kill myself now and diet” She sneered at her mother. “You bought someone to replace me when you know that I love the prince!” She looked around her and pointed to the wall. “Doesn't the pictures of the prince shows you that I love him!” She shouted.
Maria heaved a sigh and looked at the pictures of the prince's face pasted like wallpaper in her daughter's room. “I know you love the prince but I am doing all of this to protect you!”
“Protect me?” Alexa tightened her grip on the scissors. She pressed it hard on her neck enough to draw blood. “I thought yo love me!”
“I do. I do love you, my daughter,” Maria walked closer to her but Alexa moved back avoiding her mother getting closer to he “Lies! You hate me and that's why you would bring someone that had the same face as me.
You Bought her to replace me because I could never be like your son Adam!” Alexa referred to her elder brother. “I can't be like him who is perfect,” she scoffed and made a straight line on her neck with the scissors.
“Alexal” Maria screamed out and rushedtowards her daughter who had fallen to the ground and was losing a lot of blood. “I'm doing everything for you!” She yelled.
Someone burst into the room. “What's going on here?” Alpha Simon sniffed the air and rushed towards them. “What did you say to her?" He demanded. “You must have said something to frighten her like you always do!”
“Don’t act as if you wanted her” Maria placed her hand on Alexa's neck to stop the bleeding.
“You don't have to worry about her! The wound would soon heal on its own."
“You think I don't want to be around my daughter?” Simon sniffed the air and stood up.
He walked towards the bathroom door and opened it. “Oh goddess,” he exclaimed. “What the hell is going on here!” He demanded.
Later that night, The family of Alpha Simon's all sat down around their dining table to have a meal. Adam, their first child, and only son were present at the dining, and just like the rest of his family, he was shocked to see Cara.
“She will replace Alexa at the castle!" Maria announced.
Everyone dropped their spoons and turned their head toward Cara who knelt in one corner of the dining hall and was very close to Alexa.
“It's all because of her. She stole my face!” Alexa scratched her neck drawing blood from her scissor wound.
“Alexa stop scratching your neck. You will only make it worse," Maria scolded her. “We are trying to have a proper dinner, not a bloody one,” she reminded her daughter.
“Amazing!” Adam stood up from his chair and walked toward Cara. “She looks a lot like you," he raised Cara's chin and smile at her. “She is pretty too," he commented and earned a glare from his sister. “Why didn't you clean up her wounds,” Adam pointed out the cute on Cara's forehead. “She needs to be treated,” he added.
“I'm fine,” Cara said.
“Let's her go,”
Maria ordered.
“She is not
healing because she has no wolf. She is a rankless one and whether she is well or not is none of my business!”
“You should have at least treated her wound.
It looks disgusting and unbearable to look at.” Adam changed his countenance from a smiling face to a frown. He stared into Cara's eyes with his obsidian eyes and smiled. His fingers trailed down Cara's face until landed on her chest.
“Beautiful,” he whispered into Cara's ear while she shivered under his touch.
“hmm,” he
stood up and walked back to his seat. “Why is
she replacing Alexa?”
“Because she has my face, you dimwit!” Alexa shouted at him.
" language!”
Alphasimon shouted andslammed his hand on the glass table. “Not another cuss word in my home!”
“Nobody ever wanted me because I have a face that incurable!” She pushed her plates down the table causing a loud Shattering and stood up. “I know you hate me because of my face but don't replace me with a rankless wolf like her!” Alexa raised her chair and threw it toward Cara. The chair landed on her and she yelled out in pain. “Il am going to make your life miserable if you don't go back to where you came from,” Alexa kicked her on the stomach and walked away from the dining hall.
“You made a mistake in bringing her to our home!” Simon shouted at his mate. “How could you do that to her!”
“Because I'm trying to protect her!” Maria retorted.
“You are so greedy that sleeping with the king isn't enough to get you the throne! You wanted more!” Simon yelled and slammed his hand on the table. “You want to involve my daughter in your greed!"
“A daughter you don't care about!” Maria retorted. “Anastasia!” She shouted.
A middle-aged woman came running into the dining hall. She bowed her head. “Your grace, what will you like me to do for you?" She asked.
“Take her away," Maria pointed towards Cara.
" Take her out of here!”
“Yeah,” Anastasia walked towards Cara and pulled her up. She helped Cara who limped on one foot out of the hall.
“'m doing this to avoid her death. Aren't you aware of the curse in the Royal family?" Maria asked her mate.
“'m sure your loverboy would have told you,”
Simon scoffed. “Keep my daughter out of your dirty affair. She is the only one I have out of this God-forsaken marriage,’ Simon declared and stood up and glared at Adam. “Deal with your problems yourself!” He declared and walked out of the dining room with his hands behind his back.
“He still hates me even after everything!” Adam heaved a deep sigh and stood up. “No one is willing to accept me,” he said and walked away.
Maria lowered her head and heaved a sigh. She was going to make her plan work and no one was going to stop her. Not ever her estranged daughter.
