Family's Spoiling Kills: Reborn, I Seek Wild Revenge novel Chapter 9

The young man I saved in the woods, the one who had occupied my mind and thoughts for the past two weeks, the one I couldn't stop thinking and worrying about. Our gazes met, and I swallowed hard. He stood tall, dressed in a simple wear of black jeans and a black T-shirt. His black hair was gelled backward, while his green eyes were captivating.

"Is she the one?" He asked, despite being a young man; his voice carried authority.

"No, my lord," the man beside him responded, and I immediately recognized him. I recognized him as one of the men who took him that day in the woods.

"Are you sure we are in the right place?" The green-eyed man asked, his piercing gaze not leaving mine.

"How long does it take you to answer the door?" I heard Aunt Ana's voice behind me. "Who is there?" She said as she pushed me aside and stood before the visitor.

I noticed my stepmother was silent for a moment, and immediately she bowed. "It's an honor to have you, Alpha Edward, in my home." Her words confused me, and I had to look at the young man, whose blank expression hadn't left his face.

He looked at me one more time and then looked away.

"A young damsel saved me two weeks ago, and I was told she lives here. She goes by the name Elisa." He spoke, and my eyes widened. That was me, not Elisa.

"Wow, Elisa is my daughter; please come in." Aunt Ana stepped aside for them to walk in. The young man was the first to step in, followed by two men I recognized.

Aunt Ana led them to the sitting room and offered them seats, which they took.

"Don't just stand there; get refreshments for our guest," Aunt Ana ordered, but the young man shook his head. "That will not be needed; I need to see your daughter. Where is she?" The young man asked.

"She is in her room..."

Aunt Ana turned to me, "Go call Elisa." She instructed, while I just remained numb, not attempting to make a move. I didn't see the need to call Elisa when I was the one who saved him, and Aunt Ana was fully aware of that.

"Don't just stand there; go call your sister," Aunt Ana urged. I frowned and looked at Aunt Ana, who glared back at me.

"You want to exhibit your stubborn character to the guests; bravo." Aunt Ana sneered at me before looking away.

"Elisa darling, please come downstairs," Aunt Ana called out to Elisa.

Moving my gaze back to the young man, our gaze met, but he just looked away. There was something different about him. Back in the woods, he seemed like an innocent, broken young man, but right now, he seemed like an entirely different person.

"You saved me," the young man said to Elisa, and I thought Elisa would decline and say it was

me, but surprisingly, she didn't; instead, she smiled and nodded. "No," I whispered in disbelief.

"I am Alpha Edward Parker," he introduced himself.

"I'm Elisa." Elisa bowed with respect.

Stunned and confused, I looked at Aunt Ana, who gave me a threatening look, and I gulped.

"Let's have a seat," he led Elisa to sit beside him while I stood there like an outcast. In fact, I became invisible. My heart clenched, and I wished to speak; I wanted to scream that I was the one who saved him. It was me and not Elisa, but somehow, I realized my mouth was sealed.

"I am here to make a proposal," Alpha Edward spoke, which got my attention.

"I am..
