The Witch and Her Four Dangerous Alphas

Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Family?

Serena’s POV

His words...then you are still my daughter, still a Lycan. They stayed in my chest for a long time, like a small fire that warmed me from the inside.

At first, I had not been sure about him at all. I was only going with him because of my mother. After all, how could someone suddenly accept a father who appeared in their life after being gone for almost all of it?

I thought it would be impossible. I thought I would never feel anything for him.

But now... after hearing those words, something inside me softened. My heart fluttered, even if only a little, and I no longer felt so resistant to going to the werewolves’ territory. Instead, I began to look forward to it.

Most importantly, I did not feel like I would be completely alone anymore. Maybe... maybe he really would be like a protective figure, like what a father is supposed to be. Maybe he would protect me too.

After that, the journey was not so awkward. Even when we were silent, it no longer felt heavy. It passed smoothly, as if we had already taken a small step closer to each other.

My knowledge about Lycans was very limited. All I knew was that there was a king above every wolf. I had never cared about these things before. But now... seeing this palace, hearing the word "royalty," I could not stop myself from wondering what Lycans truly were and how much stronger they were compared to normal Alphas.
