Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen-Chapter 6

6 Biological Parents

Selma Payne’s POV:

“Don’t worry! Take it slow. The doctor said you should not overthink as it will affect the recovery of your wound.” The tall and thin girl warned me. She was the person I had heard in my sleep.

“Yes, don’t worry. Someone has already informed your parents, and they’re on their way. They’ve been waiting here for you for a long time, but they had to leave temporarily to deal with matters related to the Lycans.”

The girls kept talking to me, but it didn’t help me answer the questions I had. It confused me even more.

How did my parents suddenly become Lycans? Was Rhode a Lycan prince now? How long had it been since I jumped off the cliff? Why couldn’t I understand a single word they were saying?

“What are you guys talking about? What year is it now?”

I so amused the girls that they giggled as if I were a clown riding a wheelbarrow.

“It has only been a day since you were discovered. So you don’t have to worry, Your Highness.”

Their explanation was so clear that it was enough to make everyone full of doubts walk into the language maze they had set up.

“Please leave. I need some private time to think about it. I have a headache right now.” I clutched my head and said dejectedly.

The current situation was completely out of my expectations, or rather, it affected my judgment of the situation.

The tall and thin girl helped me tuck in the corner of the blanket and handed me a bottle of light blue liquid.

“This is the medicine for your headache. You’ll feel much better after drinking it.” She didn’t avoid my gaze and looked straight at me with her light brown. “You can put away your doubts. Everything I said is true.”

She pointed at a beautiful pattern sewn with gold thread on the hem of the dress. “I’ve seen this pattern many times. In the original pack, this pattern was placed in all the conspicuous places to show the glory of the Lycans.”

The only people who could embroider this pattern on their clothes were either the Lycans or the people who served them.

I took the bottle of strange-colored liquid from her hand and drank it all.

She had an elegant demeanor and was dressed very beautifully. She also had the mark of the Lycans on her body. She didn’t have to waste her energy lying to me. I was weak and useless, not a worthy target.

The crowd quietly walked out, and the dim lights were adjusted to be slightly brighter.

“Your eyes are still not used to the bright light. I hope you can bear with the darkness for the moment.”

I nodded and watched her leave.

I was still in a state of confusion. They claimed I was a princess, but what kind of princess was I? Were my parents or my adoptive parents coming to see me later? I didn’t even know what kind of expression and attitude I should have toward them. No one was wrong. I was too weak and had left a not-so-great stain on our ‘pack’.

I just hope that there won’t be too many people coming to see me or that no one would come at all.

“The princess has woken up.” I didn’t know if I should praise my accurate prediction or my jinx. Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a voice from the door.

A soft knock on the door was heard. I licked my dry lips and asked them to come in.

The woman in the lead looked very young. From her dress and demeanor, I could tell this lady might be my mother.

Seeing that the person who came in wasn’t my adoptive mother, I felt a little relieved.

I didn’t know how to face my adoptive mother, and I didn’t know how much pain my willfulness had brought her.

“Helena, what are you doing there?” The lady next to her patted her on the shoulder, and she seemed to wake up from a daydream as her eyes immediately turned red.

She walked toward me and grabbed my wrist. The tears in her eyes fell and hit the back of my hand. It was very hot.

“My child ... My poor child ...” She hugged me tightly and repeated the words repeatedly.

I didn’t expect that reuniting with her would be like this. I thought that we would end it after shaking hands. But, now that I was in her arms, the faint fragrance on her body made me feel very comforted. I hesitated and used my other hand to gently pat her back.

She was really thin. Extremely thin and weak. Even a weak human would rarely have such a thin and fragile body, let alone a werewolf.

“I thought god was punishing me by making me lose you for the rest of my life. If your father and I were wrong, come at us. But why did you have to end up like this... ” Her tears flowed again, so hot that I didn’t dare breathe.

My adoptive mother had also hugged me and cried like this before, but I had never felt so confused and sad.

“I ...”

She kissed me hard on the cheek.”It’s okay, child. Don’t be afraid. You’re home now. No matter what you’ve suffered in the past, Daddy and Mommy can protect you.”

I had never seen such a scene before and didn’t know how to react for a moment. I let her hold my face with both hands and looked at it again and again.
