Chapter 30: A Generous Offer
“Perhaps you don’t know, but I can give you more than you think.” Michael glanced at the few boxes of US dollars, and the men in black knowingly put them away.
Michael continued, “I’ve already said that this is just a small gift. If you don’t like it, it’s understandable. I’m the son of the current Lycan King. Although I won’t inherit the throne, I will stay away from many disputes about the throne.
“I will have a noble life, and I will give Cecily the same noble life. The same for you two. I can give you any life you want. I have done some research before, and you are only doing the simplest work at the restaurant. I can buy the entire restaurant for you. You don’t have to follow other people’s orders anymore.
“If you don’t want to work, I’ve prepared plane tickets for you to travel around the world. People will be waiting for you everywhere you go. I’ll take you to the most enjoyable places in the area. You can have fun for a few years.”
I was stunned by Michael’s generous offer. This was the life I had always wanted for my parents. I watched them work hard every day and hoped they would have a few easy days.
But my parents seemed surprised for only a short moment before they calmed down. My father looked at Michael. “You have offered us a very generous offer,” he said with dignity. “But you have not been so generous for no reason. If you ask us to give up Cecily in exchange for this life, we will never agree to it.”
Michael pondered and said, “What if I promise to give you the whole pack?”
Michael seemed to have dropped a bomb on us.
This shocked all of us. I saw my parents’ expressions turn blank.
The whole pack?! What did that mean?
“You can be the Alpha and Luna of this pack. Everyone will listen to you. You can also deal with anyone in any way you want. From now on, you are the most honorable people in this pack.”
Michael added, “But there’s another problem. After that, Cecily won’t be able to inherit your position as the Alpha. She will go back to the palace with me. You need to find another heir.”
This was unbelievable. My parents being the Alpha and Luna of this pack. This was something I had never thought of. They had always been insignificant figures in the pack. Many people wouldn’t even look at them.
Michael had given them power over money and jobs. I saw the ball in Michael’s court again.
I looked at my parents, hoping that they would accept it. I didn’t care what Michael wanted from me. I would do anything to give my parents that kind of life.
But when I saw my mother shake her head at me, I felt my eyes start to water again.
My parents had been honest all their lives, but now they were willing to negotiate with Michael for me, to reject something that they might not be able to achieve in their lifetime. I didn’t know how to repay their unconditional love for me.
“Your Highness, Cecily’s mother and I are ordinary people. We’ve lived here all our lives. We’re very satisfied with our lives.”
“You don’t have to give us anything. Wealth, status, and honor, these aren’t important to us. Cecily’s safety and happiness are what we care about the most. We only hope that you can treat Cecily well and make her happy. Don’t force her to do things or make her cry.” My father looked directly into Michael’s eyes as he said sincerely.
“It was only yesterday that we found out about Cecily and the Alpha’s son. Cecily has suffered a great deal because of it. As parents, we are sad about it.”
“Nothing in the world is more important than our daughter. Your Highness, I implore you to treat her well and not make her sad anymore,” my mother added. Both my parents’ hands were tightly clasped together. I could see that my mother was nervous.
“Cecily is my mate. Of course, I will do my best to protect her,” Michael said coldly.
I could feel the thorns on Michael’s body. My parents’ reaction was completely different from his expectations, which triggered him. He did not like people disobeying him.
He exerted force on his arm to pull me closer to him. I felt a little helpless. He could speak properly. My parents were reasonable people. Why did he have to force himself on me in such a way as to antagonize me?
It was all because I had snuck home, and I was starting to feel guilty again. If it hadn’t been for me, Michael wouldn’t have treated my parents so aggressively.
