I felt helpless in this situation where I couldn't even refuse his invitation for a family dinner with his relatives, knowing that his relatives often mocked my appearance, my body figure, and would comment that I shouldn't eat too much because the Alpha doesn't like pigs.
And now Alaric had invited me to join him for a family dinner with his relatives. I doubt it would be an ordinary dinner.
Who knows what they would say about me this time.
Even though I had lost weight, even though I had learned which fork to use and which tone to adopt in front of elders, they would still find something to criticize. Not elegant enough. Not strong enough. Not worthy enough to stand beside the Alpha of Ashbourne.
No matter what I would do, they would still talk badly about me.
