Sylvia's POV:
Thankfully, a pair of big hands caught my body before I could drop on the floor.
I raised my head stiffly. It was Rufus who came in a hurry. Judging from the expression on his face, he seemed to have also heard what had happened.
"Sylvia, you need to calm down," he uttered worriedly as he held me.
But I couldn't calm down at all. I grabbed the guard's collar and asked frantically, "Where is Leonard?"
The guard started to speak but held his tongue after giving it some thought. He probably thought I still refused to believe him. "Alpha Leonard is really dead."
I finally lost it and said, "Whatlamaskingyouis..." Words seemed to have left my head as I couldn't finish my sentence. There was a lump in my dry throat, and my voice was extremely hoarse. "Where is his... his body?"
The guard choked with sobs and began to wail. I was able to pinpoint the body's whereabouts in between his sobs.
The tension in my hands melted away as I released his collar and took a long breath. "I'm sorry."
Then I turned around and hurried to that location.
When I arrived at the place, I was stopped by the guards at the door.
"Get out of my way," I ordered coldly.
They exchanged glances before one of them said sternly, "Miss Alina doesn't allow anyone to go in there."
I sneered, "She forbids anyone from entering? Is she trying to hide something from us?"
