Chapter 212: Something Is Wrong

Olivia’s POV

I sat on my bed, unable to stop thinking about everything that had happened.

Why did Alpha Gabriel lie to me? Why say his parents were away when his mother has been dead since he was a teenager?

I frowned at the thought. What about his father? Was he dead too?

"Good night, Lady Olivia," Miren said softly, pulling me out of my thoughts.

I turned to her quickly. Curiosity burned inside me.

"Is Alpha Gabriel’s father still alive?" I asked.

Both girls froze. They exchanged a tense glance, and right then, I knew something was wrong.

I stood up, my heart starting to beat faster, and walked closer to them.

"Please," I said, my voice almost shaking, "is there something I should know?"

Miren, who looked around my age, hesitated before finally speaking.

"There’s nothing you need to worry about... it’s just... we servants aren’t allowed to talk about it."

"You aren’t allowed to talk about it?" I asked, narrowing my eyes. "About Alpha Gabriel’s parents?"

They both lowered their heads, and for a second, I thought they wouldn’t say anything more.

But then Dalia whispered under her breath,

"Alpha Gabriel’s father... is in this mansion."

My eyes widened. "He’s here? Then... why haven’t I seen him? Why doesn’t he ever come out?"

They both looked uneasy. Miren took a deep breath and finally answered,

"Because he doesn’t move. He doesn’t talk. He just... lies in his room, like a vegetable."

My lips parted in shock.

"A vegetable...?"
