Hiding My Twin Pups From their Alpha Dad novel Chapter 42

Felicia felt her entire world shift as she stared at Lucien, her fingers still gripping the notebook tightly.

Daphne. Not Danielle.

She shook her head, trying to process the information. “So, you’re telling me the woman I’ve been calling Danielle—the same woman who has been attacking us, manipulating Damien, and murdering people—is actually your sister?”

Lucien exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair, his expression tense. “I don’t know. I only ever knew her as Daphne. I’ve never heard of a Danielle before all of this.”

Felicia’s stomach twisted painfully. “Then how is she alive? You said she died.”

Lucien’s jaw clenched, his gaze darkening. “She did. Or at least, that’s what I thought.”

Felicia swallowed hard, gripping the edge of the desk for support. “Start from the beginning.”

Lucien sighed, leaning against the wall, arms crossed. His face was unreadable, but his voice held an edge of something she couldn’t quite define—pain, regret… or fear?

“Daphne was my youngest sister. We grew up together, trained together. We were inseparable,” Lucien began, his voice low and controlled, but Felicia could hear the underlying emotion.

“A few nights before Georgina disappeared… there was a vampire attack on our pack.”

Felicia’s breath hitched. “A vampire attack?”

Lucien nodded slowly. “It wasn’t random. They came for something—or someone. I remember the screams, the fires… and then…” His voice faltered for a moment, before he took a deep breath.

“Then I found Daphne’s body.”

Felicia froze, watching him closely. His posture was tense, his fists clenched.

“She was dead, Felicia.” His voice was haunted, as if he was reliving that very moment. “I held her. I felt her body go cold. I buried her.”

Felicia’s chest tightened. If that was true, then who—or what—was the woman they had been dealing with?
