Reality Sinks In

Daphne's POV

“Ivory!” I heard a voice call out in a sing-song voice, making me freeze until I realized who she was calling Ivory… I was now Ivory Rodriguez, Daughter of the most powerful Alpha alive.

“Rise and shine, sweetheart, the Alpha sent breakfast.” I heard someone say, making me stir on the bed but I laid still…

The lady called out once more, but I paid no heed to her, breakfast was the least of my problems right now.

I wanted to leave this place before they realized I'm not Ivory, I am Daphne and reality had just dawned on me.

It was definitely a dream, I wasn't rejected by the Caddel Triplets, then assaulted by them before being hit by a car and then died before waking up as Ivory Rodriguez.

Stuffs like that happen only in movies and fantasy books, no doubt I'd open my eyes to see things where they ought to be.

I could feel my heart thumping as the lady left me alone in the room.

When are they going to ask me out of the hospital because I'm pretty certain that I don't belong here, the Alpha must have figured that out already?

My stupid self had imagined what being Ivory Rodriguez was going to be, but I was sober and wiser now.

I heard the door open and I suddenly felt an aura enter the room, I didn't need anyone to tell me that he was here… Alpha Rodriguez, My supposed Dad.

He walked over to the breakfast table, “You aren't up yet princess” I heard him say softly, his voice choked up with so many emotions that I felt guilt fill me up.

“Or is something bothering you?” He added, making my heart thump harder as he walked over to my bedside stool and then sat down.

Did he know that I wasn't his Ivory?

His hand reached up and wiped my tears I didn't even know had escaped the slits of my tightly shut eyes.

“I don't know what is wrong princess, but you should talk to me” he urged, making me finally sit up slowly.

His aura made me cower into my shell, the day before I had been more bold, but now it was sinking in, and I was petrified of all this being a dream.

He urged me to talk, and I finally let out, “I'm just worried that I'd never remember you and everything too, Mr. Rodriguez… I mean Dad”.

“It's just like I have been reborn, I have absolutely no memory of anything, and it hurts to be in a world where I have no memory to call my own” I lied through my teeth.

Just then as he smiled softly, then a stray thought flashed in my mind. It could be that this man was an imposter and had evil plans for me.

He looked far too young to be my dad, if I didn't g****e the man in my front I would have said he was nothing less than thirty-five but I knew better.

I was using Alpha Rodriguez but what if by any chance it was otherwise but what could be his reason for wanting me as his own.

“I was so certain that it was definitely the case, you have questions and I have the answers, baby girl”.

He suddenly stood up, and my eyes followed him to where my food was.

One thing I learned in just spending a little time with my new Dad was that he loved whoever his daughter was, and I could see that same love in his eyes… For me.

I watched in silence as he brought the soup to me before bringing it before raising a spoon to my lips, “Are you still feeling pains?” Alpha Rodriguez asked In a sweet tone.

I shook my head negatively, overwhelmed by the emotions I was feeling, and I was very greedy for wanting more of this.

Never did I feel the absence of my dad in my life until now, the feeling was so overwhelming that I burst into tears, startling him visibly.

If I wasn't sobbing softly, I would have laughed at the look on the Alpha's face.

“Princess, did I do something?” He asked, making me shake my head and as I opened my mouth to speak, I burst into tears.

I felt his fatherly arms around mine and I stilled before sinking into his arms.

“I can't lose you again princess, I hate seeing you like this” he started while I was still in his arms, making my heart thump harder.

This was what I was missing all these while, Alpha Caddel was a fatherly father in my life, but then never did I feel this kind of connection.

Slowly I calmed down and I felt his warmth slowly leave. He sat down and began feeding me and this time…. I had no emotional breakdown.

A man walked in shortly after and I stilled, “Alpha Rodriguez” He greeted before turning slowly to face me, “Miss Ivory, the car is ready”

I felt the eagerness to get up, but I was stopped, “I remember the doctor saying you are unfit or move until you start physical therapy” Dad scolded, making me flush.

“This is Beta Andrews, my beta…you used to be ma…buddies before the accident” he said softly, making me smile nervously before waving to which he nodded.

I was curious about plenty of things and hearing his daughter was in an accident made me more curious, and if by any chance I had to be Ivory Rodriguez, I needed to know her.

The research I had made last night had no core information than he was a force to be toyed with.

A powerful and rich man was what I needed to deal with the Caddel boys, but what did he need from me?

I watched in silence as they spoke in codes, the conversation was surely about me, judging my the glares I was receiving from Beta Andrews.

“Princess” I heard my Dad say, Dad…I could get used to calling him Dad.

“We are going home” he said, ignoring the look his beta was boring into his back.

Home?

I liked the sound of that. I was going home with my Dad as Ivory… throwing away all my worries, I nodded, making him smile at him.
