Leonard's POV:
"What have you done?" I asked in a trembling voice. How on earth was she able to kill Chet without anyone noticing? This meant that Sylvia might be in danger too!
I didn't dare to entertain that thought. I had to focus on finding a way to capture this mysterious woman.
She snorted and turned a deaf ear to my questioning. "What have I done? Don't you see, Leonard? Your son-in-law is dead, and I was the one who killed him. He kept calling Alina's name before he died. How touching, yet pathetic!"
I was furious. If Alina wasn't here, I would've killed this woman on the spot. But now, I couldn't act so rashly.
The woman raised her hand and slowly smoothed the blue tassels on her sleeve. She seemed to be in a good mood, because she smiled and said, "Calm down, Leonard. It's not good for your health. Besides, it was your daughter who begged me to do it. And I helped her out of the goodness of my heart."
"What the hell are you talking about? How could Alina even think about a ridiculous thing like this? Chet was her mate!" I shouted at the woman in black angrily. However, as I spoke, I glanced at Alina, only to find a guilty expression on her face.
My heart sank, but I didn't have the time to deal with Alina right now. The woman in black was the real enemy, not my daughter.
But I took this as an opportunity and pretended to question Alina aggressively, "What the hell is going on?"
Eyes wide in fear, Alina didn't say anything. She simply lowered her head guiltily.
The woman in black looked at us with a crazed smile. She seemed to be enjoying a show.
I sneered in my heart, but I continued with my act and glared at Alina. "Say something, God damn it!"
The woman in black sighed and interrupted my tirade. "Oh, don't be so angry with her, Leonard. Alina had no choice."
I didn't say anything and feigned an annoyed expression.
The woman laughed gloatingly. Just when she was about to say something more, I took advantage of her distraction and instantly turned into a wolf to attack her.
