Sylvia's POV:
As soon as I was done talking, I felt Rufus' grip on my hand tighten. I turned to look at him, trying to hide the pain in my eyes.
Rufus' face darkened. He pulled me closer and asked in a low voice, "Sylvia, is this your true purpose all along? You've been planning to leave the werewolf race and me, haven't you?"
I averted my gaze and kept silent. Feeling guilty and hesitant, I twiddled with my fingers.
"But you don't have any evidence to prove that you are not this Noreen witch's accomplice!" a werewolf with a thick black beard suddenly shouted in the crowd.
Upon hearing what he said, Rufus got even more furious. He turned to the man and roared, "Shut up!"
The man was intimidated by Rufus' imposing manner. He shrank his head in fear and didn't dare to speak another word.
However, although he had shut up, there were still other pack members present in the crowd. And most of them were the elders of the pack. They were firm on traditions and principles of the pack, so there was no way they would willingly accept a hybrid like me.
"Prince Rufus, please take the interests of the entire empire into consideration. While Sylvia may be your mate, the truth behind Alpha Leonard's death remains a mystery. We'd better arrest her than let her go!"
"That's right. After Sylvia was captured by Noreen, most of the guards of the pack were sent looking for her. Alpha Leonard was left behind in the pack alone. Who knows? The entire thing could've been orchestrated by Sylvia and Noreen!"
I finally snapped and retorted, "You can see clearly on the crystal ball what really happened that time. You still haven't figured out who the murderer is? Even if Noreen cast a spell on Alina and controlled her, there is no doubt that Alina stabbed the dagger in Leonard's chest with her own hands. And what makes you so confident that Noreen really bewitched Alina? What if she is really the mastermind behind all these? If Alina really didn't want to kill Leonard, how could Noreen manage to track her down and use her? Think about it!"
