Chapter 60: Taken In
“At that time, it was an emergency. No one thought of it, and no one had the time to do so,” I explained with difficulty.
“No, no, no, this doesn’t make sense.” Aunt Carol wagged her finger at me. “Even if no one reacted at that time, what happened afterward? Robert could have marked you against your will. He wouldn’t give up so easily. And he didn’t give you any trouble during the week you were locked up. So why didn’t your parents do something about it?”
I was speechless.
“The only possibility is that they couldn’t do it. Or that your second mate prevented them from doing it. What kind of identity would make an Alpha’s successor in a powerful pack this afraid, and what kind of identity would make one’s parents unable to protect their daughter? I can see that your parents love you very much, but they did nothing about your loss of freedom,” Aunt Carol said.
“No, that’s not it.” I wanted to defend myself.
Aunt Carol looked into my eyes and said, “Little girl, if you insist on not telling me the truth, then I will send you back to where you came from. I can’t get involved in this mess for no reason.”

I saw Kate’s anxious gaze. I tugged at Kate’s hand under the table and signaled her to let me handle it myself.
Aunt Carol was smarter than we thought. Her logic was simply genius. I knew that any lies would be useless in front of her. Making more lies would only increase her dislike of me.
Right now, all I could do was tell her everything and leave it to fate.
Aunt Carol wasn’t unreasonable. I would tell her the truth if she wanted to hear the truth. I only hoped that my true feelings would change. Kate and I had gone through so much trouble to get a good result.
“Alright, I’ll tell you everything.” I took a deep breath and said, “His name is Michael. He’s from the royal Lycan family.”
“The royal Lycan family. No wonder,” Aunt Carol muttered.
Suddenly, Aunt Carol seemed to have thought of something. She stared at me, wide-eyed, and said, “You said it’s a Lycan. His name is Michael. I heard that two days ago, the Lycan prince...”
I was startled by Aunt Carol’s tone. I didn’t expect her to guess Michael’s identity so quickly. At this point, there was nothing to hide.
I opened my mouth and said, “That’s right. Michael...”
“Don’t say it.” Aunt Carol suddenly interrupted me. “I don’t want to know now. You’re just a friend of my niece. You came here with her because of her relationship problems. I’m providing you with a place to stay. I don’t know anything else.”
Kate and I looked at Aunt Carol. We didn’t understand why her attitude had suddenly changed so drastically.
“You guys are young and daring.” Aunt Carol looked at us, sighed, and said, “Do you know how great a crime it is to hide a mate of a royal family member? To put it more seriously, this can even be considered treason. But I don’t know the identity of your mate now. Just pretend that I never asked about this.”
I gulped and nodded.

“We’ll only stay for a few days,” I promised.
I didn’t want to cause trouble for Kate, Aunt Carol, or even the Ancient Woods Pack.
“I don’t know what you young people are thinking about,” Aunt Carol muttered, reaching out to collect the teacups Kate and I had emptied. Then she said, “There are free rooms on the second floor. You and Kate can choose whichever room you like.”
Kate went up and hugged her aunt. She smiled and said, “I knew you would take us in.”
Aunt Carol knocked Kate on the head. “I don’t know what I’ve done. You’re always such a troublemaker.”
Kate smiled and rubbed against Aunt Carol’s chest. “That’s because you love me.”
I stood to the side, hesitating whether I should hug her too.
But Aunt Carol had already put her arm around me. “Good girl,” she said tenderly. “You must have suffered a lot from your mate. He’s such a b*stard.”
Warmth filled my heart, and I reached out to hug her. “Thank you,” I said
I saw Kate winking at me, and I smiled back at her.
