Chapter 173

Biancha POV

The prospect of facing my stepmother and stepsisters brought a sense of unease and anxiety, and now that I was looking at them, memories of how badly I was treated flooded my mind. Old feeling of resentment surfaced. The wounds, physical and mental, hadn’t fully healed and seeing them reminded me of the pain they caused. A wall of caution built up around my heart because I was wary of letting me hurt again or trying to manipulate me.

Karen’s eyes were full of love and I wondered if she regretted her past actions or was it was just a façade and she still held the same attitude? I made a resolution that if she came to me with the same attitude, I won’t approve of it.

And with Toren on my side, I was confident.

“Biancha!” Kaen said again as she walked in the room with Ginny and Minnie walking behind her, looking around them all stray–eyed.

Everyone in the room stopped eating as they watched my family coming in. From the corner of my eye, I could see that Alpha Logan’s brows had bunched up in anger.

I got up from my chair, not knowing whether to say hello to her, but she just rushed to me and hugged me tightly in her embrace. “Oh, Biancha,” she whined. “We missed you so much!”

Karen had never hugged me. The only time she was near me was when she was grabbing me from behind to facilitate my father’s blows on me. So this was new and very awkward. Repulsed, I shrank in her embrace as a shiver ran down my body.

“Bia, where were you all this time?” she said with a honeyed voice that dripped of venom. “We had searched for you everywhere.”

Ginny and Minnie and looked at the boys and girls around the table. They both smiled broadly at Toren, Aiden, and Kael before looking at me. “Biaaa!” Ginny squealed and rushed to hug me. Minnie followed her. Seriously, I cringed.

“Oh, I am so sorry!” Karen giggled. “I forgot my manners!” She bowed to Alpha Logan and Luna Kylie, prompting her daughters “It’s a pleasure to meet you finally,” she said. She then glanced at Toren and smiled sweetly at him.

Alpha Logan didn’t reply and picked up his glass of guava juice as he tilted his head in dismissal. Luna Kylie looked at me and then at my extended family.

Sensing everyone’s awkwardness, I said, “Mother, let’s go to the main hall.”
