Angela’s eyes grew larger. She closed her eyes as she whispered,

His grip lightened. His eyes glowed brown in anger.
“How long do you plan to hide it from her?”
She did not reply as she sobbed.
“Imagine how she will feel when she realizes her own mother has bed to her all this time
“Alpha!”
Griffin rushed to Dane when he saw him losing control of himself rage. He held his arm and said in a low tone, “Please, Alpha Calm down.”
Dane clenched his jaw before releasing Angela. She immediately held her neck and started to take deep breaths.
Dane pointed his finger at her and muttered,
“You portrayed me and my entire pack as her enemies.”
Angela’s tears flowed down her cheeks. Her head was down, her gaze fixed on the floor.
“I couldn’t tell her the truth, Alpha Please forgive me.”
“Forgive? What do you think of me? Did you think I did not recognize you four years ago when you came to my pack to cure your new husband?”
It left Angela speechless. She looked up into his enraged eyes.
“You recognized?”
Dane scotted at her. “I could have killed you that day for your betrayal.”
Angela wiped her tears and nodded her head.
“You are right. You have the authority to punish me. But don’t punish my daughter.”
Griffin’s voice was a little louder as he said,
“Do you truly believe Alpha came here to punish your daughter?”
“Then why are you here?” Angela exclaimed, glaring at Griffin
Dane clenched his fists when he noticed Angela glaring at Griffin. In his eyes, this woman had no right to behave like that.
“There is still time. Tell the truth to your daughter. Otherwise, I will get my own way.”
Angela hurriedly shook her hands. “Please, don’t. She can’t take it.
Dane stared at her for a moment, then muttered,
“You are the evil woman who destroyed the plan of destiny. Years ago, because of your ex–husband, my dad initiated the war But what have you done? You fled with your daughter.”
Angela was silent. She had no answer. Griffin lowered his head and said,
“Aunt, you could have returned to our pack. Everything was under our control. You know why Uncle wanted this war. What if I had died during the war? Our pack would have had Ava as its royal witch. But you broke the promise and escaped.”

Angela looked at Griffin and replied,
“your uncle told me to take her and run away. I just followed his words.”
A line formed between Dane’s two brows, “Does that mean both of you, husband and wife, cheated on my father? What a bunch of traitors!”
Angela shook her head in denial. “No, don’t say that. Hector was not that kind of person. He is dead. Please don’t insult him like this
Dane was fuming inside. Anger was brewing in his mind. His glowing eyes had a frightening appearance. His gaze nearly killed the woman before him.
He reflected on the past. He had a clear memory of what had happened before the war. Even after the war, his parents explained the cause of the chaos
“Years ago, your husband was the one who approached my parents. He was the one who asked for help not just for his pack but also for his daughter.”
Angel troze in her state. She knew everything, but she did not know that Alpha Dane was aware of it.
“The former Alpha of the Thunder Howl Pack wanted to cage your daughter for himself when he learned about her abilities as a hybrid. Having her when she turns eighteen was his desire.”
Angela broke down from inside as the past scattered in front of hereyes after so many years.
Dane did not stop as he started again with the memories in his head.
“Your husband was the one who gave my parents a marriage proposal for his daughter and asked for help to rescue his daughter’s life. My parents agreed with him and did not even think about their lives. They showed their loyalty to their friend and won the war

Tears fell on the floor as Angela kept crying while hearing him. Dane’s eyes did not shake from her.
“But what did they get in return? Betrayal? You flew away from the pack and did not even tell us that she was okay. My parents were in guilt that they could not save her, How selfish you are!”
Angela wiped her tears and took a shaky breath.
“Alpha Dane, I have never had anything bad in my mind for you. You are undeniably the best Alpha. But my daughter… there was something that made me hide her from you all, I don’t want to lose hier.”
Dane frowned at her. “What?”
“I–I was afraid. I did not want her to end up like her father. This world is extremely dangerous, and my daughter is like a delicate Blower. This power and abilities can destroy her life just like they did to her father.”
Dane rolled his eyes. “Stop thinking so slowly about your daughter, She is not a delicate flower, but rather a blazing fire. She knows everything about herself. You do not have to worry about her any longer.”
Angela was caught off guard. “What are you saying?”
She was in disbelief. How was it even possible?
Griffing nodded his head and said,
“She is with Alpha now.”
Angela’s lips parted. She hurriedly spoke,
“No, she can only be with her mate. I did not want her to feel forced into a relationship she had not chosen. I didn’t want her to live like me.”

She had finally learned the truth behind the war.
So everything was because of her?
She heard Dane’s voice again. “You don’t have to think about mate bond Since she is with me. I am her mate. I will marry her and keep the promise your husband made to my parents many years ago.”
