Chapter 43

"Valerie was threatened to do what she was asked to do back then, Grandma. Father threatened her. But when Benjamin rejected me, she decided that she won't follow her father again. She was going to wish me a happy birthday and tell me everything and ask for forgiveness the next day. But I ran away that night. She even tried to look for me. She went as far as sending search parties. But that monster of a father threatened again. I have forgiven her at the bonfire. And this morning, she went against her father. He threatened her in front of us. But she chose me. Ervin and Wilson got angry that I forgave her and not them, so out of jealousy he banished her. And I accepted her to my pack." I shrugged as if it was nothing. "God." Grandma sighed. Alexander stood there awkwardly.
