CHAPTER 2

Cathy went with her mother to visit her father, who didn't leave his office for two days. At that time, Cathy was really determined.

Her mother feels that her daughter has something to say, and she also knows that no matter what they do, they cannot keep her in the place where they wanted her to be. Instead of reaping her daughter's displeasure, she decided to just support her. In this way, Cathy's heart will not be far from them, and she will also prevent her from having a grudge against her older brothers and her father.

"Cathy?"

Cathy looked at her mother. I can see the concern in her eyes. "Yes, mother?"

"Are you really sure?"

Cathy stopped walking. At first, she could not understand what her mother was saying, but when she saw her look, she understood what her mother meant. Her mother knew what she wanted to do. At that time, Cathy knew that was one of the abilities of mother wolves.

Cathy nodded slowly to confirm what her mother wanted to know. "Yes, mother. I'm really sure," she said.

Her mother sighed and then smiled. "Just make sure you're safe, happy, and not in trouble; that's one of my business. For me, your well-being is the highest priority. Not only for me, but also for your older brothers and your father too."

Cathy nodded with a smile. "I know, Mother."

Alice Smith.

Alice is one of the most admired female omegas in the capital. Many alphas have tried, but none of them have passed, and none have won her heart. Until Dominic Lincoln arrived, the most famous Duke of all, the Emperor's brother, and the capital's so-called god of war. She was known as the star of the Empire before she got married, and until now, a lot of Alphas are still dreaming about her.

Dominic Lincoln is the type of person who does not like to socialize, and many avoid him because of his coldness, but this did not prevent Dominic and Alice from developing a relationship until they became a couple.

"Mother, do you think Father will allow me?"

Alice did not speak immediately. "I don't know yet," she said. "You know how much he loves you, your father, I mean, don't you? I hope you don't feel hurt if he doesn't agree to what you want. I'll take care of talking to him in case the conversation between the two of you doesn't go well," she softened. Alice knows her daughter's inside thoughts.

Alice knew from the beginning that her daughter was different from the omegas, so she wouldn't let her be imprisoned in the north just because they were protecting her. Cathy has the ability, and she shows it to them by defeating their beta warriors.

Cathy smiled widely. "Thank you, Mother!" She hugged his mother and then kissed her on the cheek.

Her mother laughed. "If only you were like this all the time," she said, laughing.

Cathy pouted her lips. "This is how I really am. It's just that I don't do it because I know you won't let me."

Cathy received a pinch in her ear. "So, you also meant not to kiss us at every dinner, huh?"

Cathy stuck out her tongue and immediately said, "Ouch!" She screamed. "Mother, don't, it hurts!" she added.

"Just because your first big brother scolded you, you didn't attend our dinner right away?" she asked, looking at her daughter. "Do you think I'm going to let it go?"

"Mother, spare me, just this once, okay?" Cathy pleaded.

When Alice saw the redness of her daughter's ears, she immediately sighed. It was as if her heart was immediately squeezed by what she saw.

"Don't go with that father's anger when you talk to him about what you want. Do you understand?" Alice's topic changed.

Cathy looked at her. "As long as it's not below the belt, I can tolerate it." Alice looked at her, and her neck shrank. "Yes, Mother."

Alice nodded in satisfaction and then entered her husband's office.

Dominic stopped what he was doing for a moment and smiled at the two familiar smells. The smell of his two most beloved women in his entire life. His wife and his youngest child, the only daughter.

"Alice, Cathy," he immediately said, referring to the names of the two.

"Don't stand up. You're not done with your jobs yet."

Dominic immediately burst into tears at what his wife said. "Alice, give it to me, please? I haven't seen Cathy for two days."

Cathy winced. Everyone knows that Dominic, his father, is a cold and ruthless person. But for him and his entire family, no. They can see that it is cold and merciless, but Dominic has never done this to them, which is why Cathy knows that her father loves the family they have very much.

"Fine," said Alice. "Cathy also has something to tell you; that's why she's here."

Dominic's gentle face immediately disappeared when he saw his wife's seriousness. He looked at his only daughter, and then he discovered that it was an important thing that could cause the two to fight again. Dominic sighed because he knew that his daughter understood his behavior. Being stubborn. He still remembered how much he had hurt his father's head. Now, his head hurts because of his only daughter.

"Father," Cathy gently called him.

Dominic's face became more serious, and he sat in the chair in front of Cathy. "So, have you decided what you want to do in life?" he asked his daughter.

It's like his heart is being squeezed every time he talks to his youngest daughter like this. Because of the strength of his family's genes, their family did not have a girl right away. Even his brother, the Emperor, didn't have a daughter right after he had his omegas either. Right now, in his family, he is the only one with a daughter with only one omega in his life. That's why Cathy is protected by everyone. This is also the reason why Cathy became even more stubborn. It knows that someone will support the things it wants to do.

"Yes, Father." Cathy stared into her father's eyes. She wants to show that she is determined to do what she wants to do.

His father sighed. "What do you want to do, Cathy?" it asked.

Dominic put a little pressure on Cathy to measure her determination in the decision she was going to make. He knows that every Omega's decision will not be easy, so Dominic will make sure that Cathy does not give up easily. That is also one of the reasons why they do not immediately agree to what it wants to do.

Cathy gulped. Immediately, there was a bead of sweat on her forehead, and she also felt the sweat on his palms. Even so, she knew that her decision would never change, which is why she sought her father's opinion, permission, and approval.

"I want to study at W Academy. I want to experience what you experienced before. I also want to see if I can fight someone stronger than me there."

Dominic did not speak immediately. He stared at his youngest child and thought of a way to see his daughter's determination even more. He removed the pressure he had put on and noticed his daughter sighed in relief. He clenched his fist to prevent himself from showing emotion in front of his daughter.

"Cathy, you must know that place is not like the north, right?"

Cathy nodded. "I know, Father."

"If you knew, why would you still want to go there? You're different from all omegas, Cathy, and I know you know that. Even so, you'd still want to go on?"

Cathy nodded her head continuously. "Yes, I am sure of that, Father."

"We are not there to protect you. W Academy is not owned and not handled by the Imperial Family either. No matter what you do there, there must be caution. Your imperial cousins will not be able to protect you either. Is that okay with you? ?"

Cathy nodded again. "That's none of my business. I don't need their protection."

Dominic suddenly released pressure once again, causing Cathy to be surprised. Even so, she didn't give in to fear, even though she could feel the nervousness inside her, she didn't give in.

"Don't need protection? Cathy, W Academy is not a place to play around. W Academy has different kinds of werewolves. Do you understand what you're saying? Do you know that there are many dangers inside and outside of W Academy? "

Cathy gulped and said, "I know that there are many dangers inside and outside of W Academy, and I have to be careful. But Father, it's not because of the many dangers that I have to be afraid and hide behind you. I am also capable, and I also want to train myself to be independent."

Dominic slapped his hand on the small table between him and Cathy. "Do you understand what you are saying, Cathy!" he shouted. It made Cathy flinched. "If you understand, do you think you will take care of your safety?"

"Father, I know that you are worried about me. I also know that all you want is for me to be happy, healthy, and safe. But Father, have you also thought about what's for me? I want that to get even stronger. Right now, I know that I don't have the ability to fight alphas, but Father, I know that you know that I can handle myself if my opponent is a beta."

"Cathy!"

"Honey."

Immediately, the pressure around me disappeared. Dominic stood up, returned to his desk, and began to do his work.

Cathy sighed and shed tears. She knew that she was no longer successful in convincing her father. If her father won't agree, her brothers certainly won't either.

"Cathy, I'll take care of it." Alice caressed her daughter's face. "Don't worry, okay?"

Cathy just bit her lower lip, nodded, and left. When she got out, she saw his three older brothers. Annoyed and jealous, she ignored them and just continued walking, causing them to wonder.

Cathy's three brothers rushed into their father's office and asked at the same time why Cathy ignored them, why she was crying.

"Boys, calm down."

Even though their mother's voice was gentle, they felt that there was a warning there, so they immediately sat up straight and listened to their mother.

At that time, Shou realized that Cathy had also acquired their mother's habit of giving warnings.

Shou gulped. "Mother, Father, what's wrong? Why is Cathy crying?"

"Are you guys fighting again?" asked the oldest brother.

Jude Smith. The heir to the Duke of the North. At the age of twenty, he managed to defeat the Captain Knight of the Imperial Palace, and now he is one of the most admired by everyone. He is also assigned to capture rogue werewolves.

"Your sister has made a decision," their mother said gently.

The concern on the faces of Cathy's brothers increased, and their reactions also became serious.

They looked at their mother. "What did she decide to do?" asked the second son.

Ralph Smith. The second son of Dominic and Alice. Although he is not that good at fighting in human form, werewolf form, or wolf form, he is one of the smartest not only in the north but also in the entire Empire. He is the most famous scholar, and there is also a possibility that he will become an advisor to the next emperor of the Empire.

They heard their father sigh. "I didn't agree right away. I know how stubborn your sister is."

"What does he want to do?" Jude asked calmly.

Their parents didn't speak immediately, which is why they suddenly felt nervous in their chests. They knew that just in that silence, they knew what their younger sister's decision was.

"He wants to enter W Academy?" Ralf asked rudely and caressingly.

Their father nodded. "Yes, he wants to enter the W Academy. I told him that the environment of the academy in the north is different, I also said that the Imperial Family does not hold the W Academy, but your sister did not budge." Dominic shook his head. "I don't know what to do with your sister," he continued.

"If W Academy is her chosen destination, she will have a really hard time. There are not only strong alphas there but also betas who have the ability. If Cathy fights the betas, she will definitely get the attention of the alphas, Shou said.

"It will not be good if her identity is hidden." he said, thinking about the pros and cons. "But we also know that Cathy will not just agree to reveal her identity as the daughter of the Duke of North." Ralf leaned back in his thoughts.

They talked, and in the end, they didn't know what to do.

"I think it's right," said the only woman in the office, the woman who holds the decision for the whole family. "I know you're worried about Cathy, but that's not good for her."

"Mother-"

"Jude, Ralf, and Shou, I know you are worried, and so are your father and I. But I think now I have to disagree with your opinion."

"Honey, why?"

Alice looked at the eyes of the men in front of her one by one and then smiled. "If you base it on Cathy's behavior, you will definitely have a hard time. If you imprison her here in the north, she will definitely find a way to escape. If she is not caught, she will definitely not return to the north for a few years, and if she is caught, is she ready? you that he won't notice, talk to, or even look at? If you're willing for him to do that to you, you can lock him up here. Anyway, I'm telling you, an omega like Cathy is different. She needs adventure. I know you all know that's what her inner wolf is whispering to her. If you guys stand in her way, she'll definitely hate you."

It was like lightning struck the four boys because of what Alice said to them. They were silent and thought about what their mother and wife had told them.

In the end, they thought Alice was right. If they stand in her way, her inner wolf will only crave more. If Cathy needs freedom, they will give it to her. Although there are dangers, they know that they have the ability to protect themselves.

"All right." Everyone's attention went to Dominic. "Let's talk about it again later, after dinner."

Jude, Ralf, and Shou nodded at what their father said, and then their conversation turned to others.

Alice sighed and then wondered if she had made the right decision. Even so, if, in exchange, he could see his daughter's smile, there is nothing better than that.
