Alpha Queen
Chapter 25

Liviana’s POV

I stared at Dante for a moment still taking it all in.

We’re currently in my office and Ellie is back home safely and taking a rest in her room. Thankfully, she wasn’t harmed but I feared that she might be traumatized.

The poor little one.

I kept analyzing Dante’s features.

He really did resemble my father. Only Dante wasn’t a werewolf. Atleast not fully.

Now that I’m fully focused on him, I have realized that he’s only half werewolf b***d. I didn’t even think it was possible.

Yet, here he is.

And even claiming to be my uncle.

“Done studying me now, Liviana? You haven’t even formally welcomed your uncle yet. That’s not very nice. I guess Dimitri only taught you about being a strong leader but not a welcoming one” he chuckled. I crossed my arms in front of my chest.

“I’m still not totally convinced that you’re my father’s brother” I said with a blank expression.

“Well, no one would’ve expected a hunter to be brothers with a werewolf now, right? It’s quite the plot twist of the century” he laughed then pulled out some things from his pocket.

It was a letter and 3 photographs.

One photograph was of 2 boys, the other was of him and my father during their young adult days and the last one was of me as a kid.

I opened the letter and sure enough, it was my father’s handwriting.

“How?” I asked confused.

“We had the same father. Dimitri’s mother, our father’s mate died giving birth to him and our father met my mother soon after. No one thought it’d be possible to conceive a child of both human and werewolf but I guess I’m living proof that it’s possible” he explained.

“You’re a hunter” I pointed out.

“My mother’s father was too and I became one myself” he said and I nodded in understanding.

“How come you never came to meet me with my father? Not even once” I asked him.

“And put your life in danger? No, thank you. I was the most sought for hunter around, if they knew that I had a family, they’ll surely come after the both of you” he shrugged.

“My father could’ve at least told me you existed. Why didn’t he?” I asked again.

“It was better for you not to know about me and remain oblivious rather than know about me and get curious” he said.

“Then why are you suddenly showing up here?” I said raising a brow at him.

Dante stared straight into my eyes.

“Because I know now who you truly are” he said and it sent shivers down my spine.

“How did you replace out?” I asked in a low tone.

“Dimitri told me recently” he casually said and my eyes widened.

“You met my father” I said.

“I met them both, yes” he said. My heart raced.

He knows where they are.

He knows where my family is.

“Liviana, no. The purpose of me coming here is to stop you from doing anything as stupid as searching for your fathers” he warned. I clenched my fist.

“Why are you all trying to stop me from saving my family?!” I hissed.

“Liviana, it’s more dangerous than you think. If they replace out about your mere existence, they will stop at nothing to kill you” he said. I banged on the table with a growl.

“I’d like to see them try” I challenged as my eyes glow gold.

I want my family back.

“You’re being irrational” Dante stated earning a glare from me.

“Irattional?! Both the father who raised me and my biological father are being held captive to god knows where! Forgive me if I feel the need to save them because I fear that their life may be taken away soon!” I growled.

Dante sighed.

“Liviana, your life is more important than anyone else” he said.

“My life is meaningless without my family” I mumbled. He sighed and lightly pulled me to him embracing me.

“Have a little faith, Liviana. Your fathers know what they got themselves into the day you were conceived and the day you were hid away” he said caressing my hair.

I finally broke down as I hugged Dante back.

He’s not even related to me by b***d but now I’m realizing how he does feel like family like how I felt for the one I considered my father.

“It’s hard” I admitted as I sobbed.

“It will get harder. But I will be here for you now. I’m family too, Liviana. We are not b***d related but the moment Dimitri vowed to protect you like his own child, you became not only part of his family but mine. You’re my precious niece” he said and I sobbed even more.

It’s been a long time since I showed this kind of vulnerable side of mine. I usually had only shown it to my father.

Now, I’m showing it to my uncle who is a bloody werewolf hunter.

The door burst open and we both turned to see a raged Luan by door.

As soon as Luan and Dante’s eyes met, they both growled at each other and Dante pushed me behind him in a protective manner.

Luan’s claws came out as his eyes glowed blue.

“Step away from her, you filthy hunter!” Luan growled.

“I’m not going anywhere! What is a royalty like you doing here?” Dante hissed at him as he kept his protective stance in front of me.

“That’s none of your business! Now, I said step away from her before I rip your throat out!” Luan warned him. I lightly touched Dante’s shoulders.

“He’s my mate” I whispered to him. Dante turned to look at me wide eyed.

“Him?!” he exclaimed. I nodded.

Dante growled.

I stepped forward and got in between them before they pounced on one another.

“He’s my uncle” I told Luan and this time, his eyes widened in shock as well.

“I would appreciate it if you don’t kill each other. Specially not inside my office or my pack territory” I said.

“Dante, you can stay at my father’s room. He also has clothes there that will fit you. I recommend taking a rest” I told my uncle.

“I’m not leaving you with him” he said pointing directly to Luan.

Luan snarled at him.

“I’ll be fine. He’s harmless. Atleast to me” I assured him.

“Out of all the wolf’s the goddess can pair you up with, she chose him” he said in disbelief then looked directly at Luan.

“Just to make it clear, I don’t like you for my niece” he snapped at Luan before walking out.

Great.

More drama.
