Chapter 269: WOLF’S ASCENDANCY

"You raised me to be human when I was born to be a wolf. You forced me into a life I didn’t want, made me deny the wolf inside me."     Dad’s eyes darkened with something I couldn’t place—regret, maybe.     "You wouldn’t let me send Tatiana back to her home. You wouldn’t let me be with Edeline after I found out she was my true mate!" My breath hitched as the memories flooded back. "And now you're forcing Nixx into the same trap—pushing him into a role he doesn’t want, making him reject the mate he loves!"     The words poured out of me, raw and unfiltered.
