Chapter 708 Family Or Enemy


    Leonard''s POV:


    My subconscious reaction seemed to have pissed Alina off even more. Her eyes turned red and she


    gnashed her teeth angrily.


    "So you do know."


    "I just found out." I wanted to exin, but Alina wouldn''t have believed me.

    This came as a surprise. I had nned to break the news to her after the wedding, but she


    somehow found out about it sooner.


    "I don''t know how you know, but I only found out about it recently. I haven''t even told her about it..."


    Thinking of this, Iughed bitterly and felt that everything was spiraling out of control. Alina sneered.


    "Oh, please, Dad. Don''t lie to me. I''ve seen it all! I''ve seen it with my own eyes. You trained her, you


    two ran in the forest in the wolf form, and you even licked her fur! You''ve never done any of those


    things with me! You''ve known that she was your daughter for a long time but you kept it from me!"


    Alina''s eyes welled up with tears and her pale face looked tired and weak.


    The scene she described pertained to the time I gave Sylvia special training in the imperial capital. I


    didn''t expect that she would know about it.


    I felt so guilty. I had no idea I had hurt her like this. I just thought that she was unhappy with the


    marriage I arranged for her, but I didn''t know that she was holding onto a lot of hurt.


    "I thought you didn''t like such things. You''ve never mentioned it before," I said falteringly.


    "It''s because you never asked!" she shot back ferociously. "Ever since I was a child, you''ve always


    made choices for me based on your own interests. You never asked me what I wanted. If you really


    cared about me as a father, you wouldn''t have treated me like one of your soldiers!"


    I was a little embarrassed. I wanted to exin myself, but a lump formed in my throat.


    "You were always like your mother. You were born ady who didn''t like fighting and killing—"


    I looked at her sadly and tried to defend myself, but she cut me off abruptly.


    "Enough! Lady,dy,dy— I don''t want to be ady at all! I never wanted to be ady! You made


    me!" Alina was burning with deep, deep hatred. "I''ve had enough! My life has been a living hell


    because of you! I thought that family would understand me, but you didn''t. You were so selfish that


    you didn''t care that you were suffocating me! In that case, let''s just die together. I''ll have no home


    after this anyway!"


    Seeing Alina break down, I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces. "Alina, this is your home. I''ve


    never considered driving you away. I only arranged that marriage for you because I wanted you to


    live a stable, carefree life."


    I had never thought that I had hurt my own daughter so deeply. Her cruel usations made me


    suddenly realize that I was never a good father.


    "Alina, listen to me. I love you, but maybe I didn''t know how to show it..."


    I wanted her to calm down, but she refused to listen to me. When I tried to take a step closer, she


    swung the dagger frantically.


    "Alina, put down the knife. You might hurt yourself." I was a little worried. Alina was way too


    emotional. I had to find a way to calm her down.


    "Oh, please, Dad!" Alina roared, wagging the dagger at my face. "You care about me? No, you


    don''t. I know why you''re so anxious to marry me off to another pack. You just want to get rid of me


    so that Sylvia can inherit your ce!"
