Claire’s pov

I was still going through the plan when I heard a knock on the door, only the moon goddess know where I hid the plan as I went to open the door, opening the door, I was amazed on who I saw on the door.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

I was wondering what is going on that would allow my father to visit me, my father who was a self centered man is visiting his daughter. I was surprised at the present situation although I tried not to show it out.

“Let me get dressed” I told my father.

His cold emotionless eyes looked at me as I took that as getting his permission, I went in and looked for a simple wear, in less than twenty minutes I was done with dressing.

I came outside and he looked at my dress, I was getting uncomfortable with his stared as I maintained a smiling face and tried not to show it that I was getting scared with my father’s stares.

Silence ensured between us

“Are you alright??” He said breaking the silence.

I nodded my head

“Don’t know why a daughter will be scared of her father” He said

I let out a nervous chuckle, he saw that I was getting uncomfortable with his presence, he sighed and turned to leave.

He left and I released the breath, I did not know I was holding. Till now I still get uncomfortable whenever I am with my father although I did not know the reason.

You’ve be hearing me say things about my father without mentioning my mother, funny enough I did not know who my mother was, she left when I was quite younger.

Not like she died tho but she left my father for another one who was way richer than he was, I noticed from his countenance that he loved my mother so much.

He has not fall in love with anyone ever since she left even though he could get any lady he so desired with his current position.

Enough with my father and mother love story, although I knew quite well that history will not repeat itself in my case, I loved Adrian as my whole being revolved around him.

I went back to the room as I pondered the relationship between my father and I. I knew that the relationship between us was not smooth sailing and to a point it is affected the both of us

I could not relate to him concerning my personal issues and the ones concerning the pack, I could not relate to him as well. We were perfect strangers yet we looked so close.

I knew that in order for my strategy to work I needed someone who could direct me on my present situation and the tactics to apply in order to wipe my slate clean.

I summoned courage and I went to my father chambers. I knocked on the door as it was quiet for a moment. I knew the reason as he will be confused because no one had ever knocked on his door unannounced.

I did not know the consequences of my action because I had not defaulted before, many thoughts ran through my mind as I stood on the door, sweats dropping out of my forehead.

He opened the door ready to unleash on whoever that was disturbing him but I noticed he was calm when he saw that the person who was at the door was me.

His expression was confused and worried, I looked at his expression as I almost burst out laughing but I held myself back, he did not say anything as he opened the door wide and I entered inside.

Document of different kinds were scattered across the table, I noticed that I had interrupted his time, I took a deep breath relieved that he had not done anything to me.

I arranged the documents in their order as I placed the document where it supposed to be.

It was a sudden revelation, I found out that my father was a detailed and articulate wolf, I got to find out why he was respected in the wolf council aside his position.

I turned my eyes to see his cold emotionless eyes on me. I knew he could feel my emotions so I tried not to allow my emotions to show, I cannot allow my emotions to ruin the reason why I had come here in the first place.

His eyes were still on me when I did the shocking thing ever, I hugged him, he tried not to show it but I knew he was startled by the sudden hug, it has been several centuries that he had received a hug from me.

From his expression I knew that it had been quiet long since I hugged him. My father will be in for a lot of shocks this time because after hugging him, I pecked him on his cheeks.

His body felt warm as he looked weak, I knew he was trying to hold his emotions in, pecking an elder especially a family in our pack is a sign of acknowledgement.

He hugged me back and pecked me on the cheeks, I had been his favourite long before now but right now is the reunion of both of us, I had acknowledge him as my father and he has acknowledged me as his daughter.

After the reunion, I told him the purpose why I visited him, he was startled at the strategy I brought out in order to bring down my rival in the game, he corrected the part he needed to correct and he told me to leave the strategy with him.

I decided to trust him, although I had the plan mapped out, I do not know much about executing the plan without leaving traces.

I left my father’s chambers and I couldn’t be more happier, although the purpose of reuniting with my father was for a mission, I knew I was almost accomplishing a mission – Bringing down Lena to the position of a slave.
