Alina's POV:
As I watched Rufus and Sylvia, who had suddenly appeared in front of me, I subconsciously touched the ring I'd just worn. I was inexplicably flustered all of a sudden.
Every time I saw Sylvia, somethingbad happened. Besides, she and Rufus were eyeing me very aggressively. They didn't seem to be here to celebrate the ceremony.
I forced a smile and tried to look calm. "Prince Rufus, what suddenly brings you here? And your mate..."
Speaking of Sylvia, I paused and then chose the word mate because I really didn't want to mention the name that made me instinctively sick.
Rufus was still so handsome. It would be better if he didn't speak. Every time he opened his mouth, I wished he could have just been a dumb handsome man.
But I was not in the mood to admire his goodlooking face now, because my gut was warning me that I was doomed.
Rufus snorted and blurted out, "You look cheerful. You stepped on Leonard's corpse and got the Alpha's position, and it seems that you actually quite enjoy it."
"What do you mean?" I was unnerved as I stared at his handsome face. Damn it! What did he mean by that? Had I somehow exposed myself?
I glanced at Sylvia again. As expected, she was glaring at me as if I had killed her father.
My heart leaped to my throat, and my back was instantly drenched with cold sweat.
"Prince Rufus, what do you mean?" Edwin, who looked as frail as a man on his deathbed, suddenly became energetic with sharp eyes. "What do you mean by saying that Alina stepped on her father's corpse to ascend to the Alpha position? Haven't we already found Leonard's murderer?"
"No, Alina is the one who killed Leonard."
Rufus' words successfully shocked everyone.
