< The Alpha’s Hidden Heirs

Chapter 17

I had just gotten back to my hotel room when my phone buzzed with a text from an unknown number.

“I heard you’re at the event. Come back to Nightfall Pack. Your mother and I are waiting.”

I knew immediately who it was – Curtis Wade, my foster father.

“How did you get my number?” I texted back.

“You forget who I am. Getting your number isn’t exactly difficult, Selene. Stop asking questions and come home.”

I stared at the screen and scoffed. Home? Some home. He may have adopted me, but he never showed real parental love.

He probably got my number from today’s event registration. They’d collected everyone’s contact info for security purposes.

“I’m never coming back. Just forget about me.” I sent the text and tossed my phone on the bed.

After a quick shower and changing into my PJs, I came out to find my phone screen lighting up with notifications.

Drying my hair with a towel, I checked my phone. My stomach dropped when I saw social media blowing up with posts about me.

People from Nightfall Pack were calling me heartless for refusing to see my foster family. They were questioning my loyalty to the pack.

I read some of the comments:

“How low can she get, abandoning her parents like that!”

“Word is she ran off with some older guy – that’s why she won’t come back to our pack.”

“She must be bringing such shame to her family.”

I read through the comments, wondering how they knew about my conversation with my foster father. Though knowing him, he probably shared it himself.

I left an anonymous comment: “What if you’ve misunderstood her? Maybe she’s not the bad person you think.”
