    After I put on a beautiful golden knee-length dress and did my hair and makeup like a professional, just because I wanted to and I could, I left my room to find Norman in the living room. He was wearing a ck suit and staring at the photo frames on the walls.

    "Well, I thought the event was supposed to shock some people," Norman said, raising his eyebrow. "I didn’t know you would be shocking me, looking so spicy," he added, smiling a little too flirtatiously.

    I shot him a look because Vani was still around somewhere, and I didn’t want to be overly flirty with my man in front of her. I was that shy. Then Norman’s attention drifted back to the walls.

    "They never had your pictures up," he said.

    I scoffed. "Well, now we know why."

    I gave him a look and he nodded. As soon as we turned around, after being told the guard was here with the car to escort us to the Royal Garden, I came face-to-face with Niles, and my skin tightened.

    Niles gave me a very fake smile. Ever since he found out I had control over everyone’s lives now as an alpha queen, he tried hard to hide his rudeness. Even when he wanted to be harsh, he acted like he was just a strict father in the past.

    "I heard you are pregnant. Congrattions," he said.

    But the shine in his eyes when he said those words gave me goosebumps. It reminded me of what he had done to my mother, and how excited he used to get whenever she was pregnant. I wondered if he was still in contact with Darcy. I wouldn’t be surprised if she asked him to do something to my baby. But little did he know, his time was up.

    "Thank you," I replied, folding my arms across my chest.

    "Isn’t it odd how your life turned around?" he said, making me smile brightly.

    "Why are you acting like I don’t know you’re not my father?" I shot back. It was so annoying that neither he nor Larissa acknowledged that the news had broken that I was a mermaid’s daughter, the daughter of Soren Vaughn, not Niles.

    My father’s face hardened before he nodded. I knew he had a cunning response ready.

    "It doesn’t matter whose daughter you are. For me, you will always be my daughter. I took care of you when you were a child, whether you remember or not. Strict fathers don’t get enough credit. The fun parent is always loved more." Just as I expected, he was spewing nonsense. I wondered if Larissa had scripted it for him. She must have told him exactly how to act.

    "You’re right. Now that I’m bing a mother myself, I guess I understand," I said. I had an obvious reason for agreeing. I didn’t want him to realize I wasn’t here for that. I was here for more than revenge for myself.

    "Anyway, are youing to the event? You’re her father. Even if you had disagreements in the past, I’d love for you to be there," Norman cut in at the right moment, saying all the things my father wanted to hear.

    "Of course, if my daughter invites me," my father replied. Behind him, Larissa stood with an annoyed look on her face.

    "Of course, you shoulde," I added, and he nodded eagerly.

    "Um, I would have loved toe, but I’m not feeling well," Larissa excused herself from behind him. He turned to give her a sharp look.

    "I told you, she doesn’t hate us. You shoulde." From their bodynguage, I could tell they had already argued about whether to attend.

    "No, it’s okay. I’ll just stay behind," Larissa insisted. But that wasn’t what I wanted.

    "I would love it if you were there," I said, forcing a calm voice. It seemed to work, because she straightened her back and lifted her chin.

    "I mean, I have a new dress. I can wear that. And of course, people would love to know about the Alpha Queen’s parents. Even if we didn’t give you birth, we were the ones who kept you, fed you, loved you, sheltered you." I had no clue what Larissa was talking about. Did she actually believe herself? As much as I wanted to roll my eyes, I didn’t. I just gave her a nod.

    Then the car arrived. Norman told my parents there was a separate car for them, and they seemed more than happy.

    Once we sat down in our car together, I let out a deep breath, preparing myself for the harshest confrontation ever.

    "It’s okay. You’ll do great," Norman said, reaching for my hand and squeezing it tight.

    I only gave him a nod, though I wanted to believe him.

    As soon as we reached the event, the Royal Garden, we were surprised by all the arrangements Dalton had made. He was standing at the main entrance, waiting for us. He held the door open for me, and I noticed Norman rolling his eyes before stepping out on his side.

    "You didn’t have to do this much," I said to Dalton, looking around at all the preparations. All the pack members were invited. Fairy lights decorated the beautiful trees, and there were candles everywhere. There was so much decor, and so many beautiful dishes being served. Dalton had really outdone himself.

    "No, I didn’t want this night to be just a night of punishment. I really wanted to let you know that you are weed in this Pack, and that we are all happy you are at this stage of your life where you can expect a beautiful new Chapter," Dalton said, almost pausing when I heard Norman cough. I guess some of them still didn’t like Dalton.

    "Thank you so much," I said, and then we stepped inside. Everyone started greeting us. We saw some performances, some pack members performed skits, others sang, and then my father arrived, wearing a ck suit, with Larissa in a beautiful red dress, stepping out of a luxurious car. The smirks on their faces told me they weren’t expecting what wasing tonight.
