The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 156

Sylvia's POV:

I broke free from Rufus' arms in pleasant surprise. "You still have the evidence? Where did you hide it?"

Lena nodded, and the look on her wrinkled face changed. "I knew that Mateo was going to kill the Alpha, so I hid a recorder pen in the secret compartment of the Alpha's room in advance." "It has been so many years. How sure are you that it's still there?" Rufus said plainly.

"I hid it very well, and no one knew about that secret compartment," Lena hurriedly said to Rufus. Then she turned to look at me. "Actually, only the deceased Alpha and your mother knew about it. Then your mother told me."

The corners of my mouth twitched. Back then, many of my mother's affairs were handled by Lena, both private and pack-related. My mother regarded Lena as her family, so she never hid anything from her.

"You really took advantage of my mother's trust in you," I sneered and smiled sarcastically.

Lena's eyelids trembled. It was as if she was very embarrassed. She looked away to avoid meeting my gaze and said, "Your mother told me about the secret compartment because she wanted me to hide you there in case of danger."

I just stared at her without saying anything. Then I felt a big, dry, and warm palm touch the back of my hand. It was Rufus, comforting me silently.

"I wanted to take the recorder pen with me, but Mateo was too cautious. When I left the pack, they had to search my entire body, so I simply left it in the secret compartment," Lena added when she noticed that I was quiet.

"The Alpha's residence remained untouched for three years before it was converted into Mateo's own place." I rolled my eyes as the memory of those dark and difficult days flooded in my mind at once. "If Mateo has found the secret compartment, it will be more difficult to redress my mother's case. And just as you said, how can a cautious werewolf like Mateo allow an outsider to enter his room?"

"Has Mateo become the Alpha of the pack?" Lena looked at me in surprise. "I have been hiding everywhere in the past few years, uninformed. And I never dared to inquire about the pack."

I pressed my lips tightly, feeling bitter in my heart. "Haven't you ever thought of coming out to give my mother justice? Not even once?"
