CHAPTER 107: HER MOTHER’S DAUGHTER.

Angela laughed at what he said. What did he mean by Grace coming to see her? There was no way that woman would come for her. She shook her head and told him, "That’s impossible. My mother doesn’t even know where this school is. She had no idea about the visiting day. It’s not her..."

"I saw her, Angela," Alex said in a low tone. He tried to step closer, but she stopped him by holding her palms out.

"There is no way Grace would come... whoever you saw was not my mother, Alex," she said, her face tightening as doubt began to creep in. She wondered if this was some kind of joke, but Alex was not the type to joke about something so sensitive. "Please tell me it’s not true."

"Can you calm down and listen to me?" he asked, glancing around as though he didn’t want anyone else to see or hear them. He came closer, took her hands, and led her back inside.

"Your eyes are glowing. You need to take a deep breath and calm your nerves, young wolf." He released her and shut the door behind them. Angela was startled. She rushed to the mirror and froze when she saw her reflection. Her eyes were glowing red. Her heart skipped a beat. What if someone else had seen her like this instead of Alex?

"I-I..." she started to speak, but he cut her off.

"Just take a deep breath," Alex said, demonstrating first. She followed his lead. "Let it go... all that bad energy and hatred. You don’t need that right now, especially with the full moon around the corner."

Angela nodded and repeated the breathing until her heart slowed down. When she looked into the mirror again, her eyes were back to normal. A small smile spread on her face and she turned to her friend. "What would I do without you?"

"Probably end up in one of the Alphas’ dens by now," Alex chuckled, then shifted the topic. "I know it’s hard to believe your mom came, but you need to go out there and see her. Maybe she missed you and just wanted to see your face. That could be all."

"I don’t think that’s the case, Alex," Angela said, crossing her arms as she tried to think of any reason that could have brought that woman here. She found nothing reasonable. But what if Alex was right? What if her absence had made Grace finally realise she was her daughter, and not just something to make money from?

"Just go and see her. We will go together if you want," Alex told her.

"What about your mom? Won’t she be waiting for you?"

"No. She is sitting with Stales’ parents. They will entertain each other for now," Alex explained. "After you are done with your mom, I will take you to my mom and Stales’ parents. Stales told them a lot about you and they are curious to meet you."

Angela nodded. She ran her hand through her hair, smoothing it down. Then she picked her phone from the bed and followed him to the visiting grounds. There was a large crowd, yet no one paid attention to her. She was surprised as she squeezed herself through, passing between people.

They walked a little further and stopped right in front of Grace’s table. Grace sat there with sunglasses on and a white scarf tied around her face. She wore a black gown and had her hair packed into a ponytail. Her presence drew attention little by little. Most people did not know she was doing it on purpose, but Angela could see it clearly.

"Come on," Alex gave her a gentle nudge. She nodded and stepped forward while he stayed back.

"Look at my girl," Grace stood up to welcome her. She covered her mouth when Angela got close, her eyes widening in shock. "You have grown within these few weeks."

"Stop it, Mother. I look the same," Angela whispered, glancing around to check if anyone was paying attention. Only a few people were, and they seemed to admire the sight of them together.

"Are you being rude to me?" Grace asked as she sat back down. Angela did the same. "Do you know how much I stressed myself to come here... just to see you? I had to avoid your uncle."

Angela felt a little strange hearing that. Still, she began to think that maybe Grace truly had missed her. She softened her tone.

"I am sorry you had to go through so much to see your daughter," Angela told her quietly.

"You can imagine," Grace laughed softly, then leaned closer to her. "Tell me, have you been able to tame any rich werewolf? An alpha, or—"

"Mother," Angela stomped lightly on her foot to stop her words. What if someone overheard her?

"Ouch," Grace winced, pushing her foot away. "You are going to break my toes, girl."

"You have to control your mouth, Mother. You could ruin what I have managed to build with careless words," Angela warned her. "Now, you can go ahead and tell me the real reason you are here. Let’s make it quick. I have somewhere else to be."

Grace studied her daughter for a moment and then smirked. "You never cease to amaze me. You really are your mother’s daughter. You know me too well, Angela."

Angela rolled her eyes and let out a sigh. Her ears were already starting to ache from listening to her mother. "Just say it."

"Alright," Grace smiled. "I came to collect the balance. You were owing me before you left the house, remember?"

Angela felt her face grow hot. So that was it. She should have known Grace would never come to see her without a selfish reason. Still, she had not expected it to be about the money she had paid to buy her mother’s silence.
