Chapter 13
When Audrey woke up, she only allowed Liam to go into the ward alone.
He was gone for half an hour.
Chloe sat there, fidgeting nervously, her mind racing with ways to cover up her lies.
When Liam finally came out, his face stern, Chloe’s heart skipped a beat.
Her voice faltered as she spoke, “Dad, how is mom?”
Liam’s face was pale, his eyes cold as they locked onto Chloe.
“Don’t call me that,” he snapped, his voice full of contempt. “Do you think we’re idiots?”
Chloe had seen Liam angry before, but hearing the fury in his voice still made her flinch.
The confidence she had earlier when arguing with Audrey evaporated, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Alpha Liam was always a man of his words, and when he spoke, he meant it.
“It’s not like that,” Chloe protested weakly. “I truly care about both you and mom.”
But those words meant nothing to Liam.
“We’ve been living together for so long, and now I’m going to make sure you leave with some dignity,” he said coldly. “From now on, you’re no longer a part of the Bloodmoon Pack, and you’re no longer our daughter.
His face was devoid of emotion, and Chloe knew he wasn’t bluffing.
Her heart sank, and she couldn’t hold back the tears. As a child, whenever she cried, her parents would soften, but now… it was too late.
“Dad, how can you do this to me?” she sobbed, panic rising in her chest.
She was terrified. Terrified of leaving this home, leaving the pack.
For years,
she had relied on Tessa’s true identity, living comfortably. The thought of having nothing was unbearable.
But what she didn’t realize was that the Liam who had once spoiled her now despised her.
The love he had for her was gone, replaced by disdain, and he didn’t even want to look at her
anymore.

“Don’t ever let me see you again,” he told her, his voice firm and final.
Ten minutes later, the news that Chloe had been kicked out of the pack spread like wildfire.
Alpha Liam personally held a pack meeting and declared that Chloe was no longer affiliated with the Bloodmoon Pack–she was now a rogue.
He nailed her to the pillar of shame, and everyone knew she was a liar.
Those who had once despised her now openly spoke their thoughts.
Even those she had looked down on began to mock her.
Sitting on the bench, Chloe stared at the news on her phone, her expression a mix of laughter and
tears.
She couldn’t believe it–everything she had once had was gone.
Now, she was like a rat in the street, a target for scorn and ridicule.
Her heart burned with hatred as she sat there, staring at the door.
It was hatred–for this hypocritical family.
She couldn’t accept it. Why was Tessa still receiving the life she once had?
Why did it have to be this way for her?
She silently vowed to herself that she would get everything back–everything that was rightfully hers.
Liam sat beside Audrey’s bed, watching her pale face.
It had been a long time since he had seen her like this, and it tugged at his heart.
Audrey gazed blankly at him, her eyes reddening as she thought of Tessa.
What mother wouldn’t grieve for her child?
But in this case, she had allowed Tessa to suffer for all these years.
Liam continued to comfort her with his words, though deep down, he knew just how hard those years had been for Tessa.
Hearing the truth was like a thunderclap in his heart. He couldn’t stand it, but they both knew the pain and the guilt between them.
Audrey slowly opened her eyes and asked Liam, her voice weak, “Do you think Tessa will ever

forgive us?”
Liam gave her a faint smile, his eyes filled with both sorrow and hope, and nodded gently.
After Audrey fell asleep, Liam stepped into the hallway and lit a cigarette.
He couldn’t find Tessa, and that was the answer she had left them with.
Chloe, now kicked out of the pack, packed her things and left. She already knew where she was going, and she arrived early at Ryan’s house.
“Ryan, it’s me. I’ve come to you,” she called out, her voice full of determination.
