Chapter 110: Abandonment

Astrid's POV

Erika? That's also my mother's name. The bracelet... Alpha Theron gave it to a woman named Erika, who then gave it to me.

My eyes slowly widened when Alpha Theron's words sank in. The woman he had been involved with, the one he had abandoned while she was pregnant. that woman is my mother. Which meant... My breath got caught in my throat as realization dawned upon me like a splash of cold water. Is the Alpha of the Shadowfang Pack my father?

How could that be? How could a powerful Alpha be my father who abandoned us?

My heart hammered inside my chest, my pulse pounding in my ears. I curled my fingers into the bedsheets, knuckles turning white from my vice-like grip as a storm of emotions clouded me. "Don't tell me..." Asha spoke, her eyes widening. "Tell me, is that the name of your mother?" she spoke directly to me.

My gaze flickered to Asha, my half-sister that I ever knew I had.

I opened my mouth, desperate to say something - anything, but the words lodged in my throat, choking me. I could only nod my head in response to her question.

My answer hit Asha like a punch to the gut, knocking the wind from her lungs. Her eyes went wide, and her mouth agape as she struggled to process everything.

Shaking her head slowly, Asha took a step back as if distance could somehow make this truth disappear. Her gaze darted between Theron and me, but just like her, I was also equally caught off guard by Alpha Theron's confession.

"There's no way." Asha blurted out. "There's no way that she's my half-sister!" Asha's fingers curled into trembling fists at her sides, nails biting into her palms.

She couldn't accept it. Of course, she would never accept being related to me by blood.
