Alpha's Cursed Mate novel Chapter 34

Estelle's POV

The familiar smell of sterile water from the hospital woke me up from the darkness, but I still felt exhausted. I don't know if the nightmare I just had was real or just a dream I had. I didn't have a single bruise on my body, but the roses on my hands were still bright red. I thought of Lance's angry face. It was as if a hole had been broken in my heart and a million cold winds had poured in.

He treats me like a traitor, like a murderer. I tried to get up from the bed, but my body was as weak as if it had been overdrawn. At that moment, the ward sounded the opening of the door and my father was very happy to see me awake.

"How's your body feeling?" Father asked me .

I struggled to get up in bed and my father helped me up and put a pillow behind me. I looked at his face in a bit of a trance.

"Am I a vampire?" My voice was as soft as a feather, and all I could get out of my throat was the sound of air.

My father sighed, then took my cold hand. "You have vampire blood, your mother was a vampire."

I feebly withdrew my hand in my father's hand, "You never gave me that."

"I thought you would never awaken."

"You think?!" I suddenly raised my voice and coughed as a result. When I calmed my breathing, I asked him, "If I don't awaken, are you going to keep it from me forever?"

"I'll let you know when you're ready."

"I won't be ready for this! Because I'm a damn, werewolf-vampire hybrid."

"Not all vampires are like that, your mother was a good person."

"Good people? She gave me and Nathan half of her disgusting bloodline and left us behind."

"How dare you talk about your mother like that?! She left her family behind for you to be with me." Father's face was a mixture of blue and red, his mother was a minefield he could not touch.

"If she really loved us, she wouldn't have given birth to us and left!"

"She must have her own struggles."

"How long do you want to lie to yourself? She abandoned you long ago!" I hurt my father with vicious words like a snake spewing venom.

"I won't allow you to talk about your mother like that!"

"Mother? Did she raise me and Nathan for a day?"

When my father finally couldn't take my cynical attitude, he lifted the rack with the I.V. bottle and slammed it on the door.
