The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 154

Sylvia's POV:

Lena was my mother's maid and most trusted friend. My mother had even said once that apart from me, Lena was probably the last person on earth who would ever leave her.

Growing up, my mother was usually busy dealing with matters of the pack, so she didn't always have time to take care of me. Lena was basically the one who raised me. I had always regarded her as my second mother.

However, right after my mother's execution, Lena disappeared. I was convinced she was killed. I had even grieved for her already. But here she was in front of me, crawling like a lunatic and begging for my forgiveness.

My body was rooted to its spot and trembled all over.

As Lena called my name, I couldn't help but be confused. Why was she begging?

Could she really be the witness? She had to be. Otherwise, she wouldn't have appeared before me like this.

"What happened to her?" With tears in my eyes, I looked at Rufus.

Rufus bent down and pried Lena off of my leg. "Ever since she left the pack, she's been hunted down."

Lena lay still on the floor with madness in her eyes. She seemed as though she was living in her own world, unable to hear everything around her. Trembling, she mumbled, "I was wrong. I was wrong."

I couldn't bear to see her like this, so I turned away in disbelief. "How is she the witness? What does she know?"

Although I already had a feeling of the truth, a big part of me was too afraid to confirm it. Something inside me told me I couldn't bear it.

Rufus placed a steady hand on my shoulder. "All these years, she's lived her life in fear and hiding. Since her family got implicated in the matter as well, they were also killed. Even her only son had gotten assassinated just last week. We were fortunate enough to find her in time, or else she wouldn't have been able to survive on her own anymore."

Lena's son, Micah, was only a year older than me. He was one of my childhood friends. I did not expect that the next time I would hear about him was of his death.

My heart cried out for Lena, who was heaving and sobbing so hard she was about to suffocate.
