Sylvia's POV:
I opened the file and a card fell out. It was a new ID card with the name Crystal Quinn. She was the daughter of Leonard's relative.
"Sylvia Todd is dead. You need a new identity. I know you are Leonard's daughter. Although you both couldn't officially recognize each other as father and daughter, you can at least now take Leonard's surname," Laura said.
Tears welled up in my eyes again, and I sobbed, "Thank you."
I'd never expected that after all this, I could still have a dignified identity to live on the land of the werewolf race.
Before this, I had intended to live in seclusion in a remote place and never have contact with the outside world again.
Laura had given me a big surprise, infusing me with a little excitement.
"There is another gift for you." Laura smiled and handed me a letter that stated I had been appointed as the Alpha of the border pack.
Panic overwhelmed me and I instantly refused, pushing the letter back toward her. "My Queen, I'm afraid I can't accept this. The Alpha of every pack has traditionally always been carefully selected from thousands of candidates. I don't think I'm capable enough to hold this position."
However, to my surprise, Laura's expression became serious again. "This appointment as Alpha is not just for you, but also for my grandchild. I don't want my grandchild to live a nomadic lifestyle with you."
I became worried. "But isn't it too conspicuous? After all, everyone at the border pack knows me." "Don't worry. I have given orders to block the news about what happened today, and I've ensured there is no trace of you on the Internet. The border is far away from the capital city. The people there are only concerned about their own lives. They have nothing to do with what happened in the capital city, let alone have time to pay attention to it." Laura was determined and wouldn't allow me to refuse her. She directly thrust the letter into my hands.
I was filled with mixed emotions as I studied the letter and didn't know what to say.
"Don't overthink it. Live a good life in the future. I trust in your ability to rule the border pack well. In the future, the chances of Rufus coming to the border pack are next to impossible after becoming king." Laura sat down again and took a sip of tea before asking me to join her. Then she poured me a cup of hot milk from a small kettle and said, "Have some milk. You've been running around all day. Even if you feel okay, the baby in your womb must be tired. You have got all your affairs in order. You should relax now."
"But I'm afraid I won't be able to perform my duties well," I said worriedly as I slowly lowered myself into the seat next to Laura. I picked up the cup and took a sip of the milk. My cold limbs slowly warmed up.
Laura didn't take my worries seriously and laughed. "Don't be scared. You have performed commendable deeds at the border pack before. The people there like you quite a lot. You are absolutely suitable for the position. And ever since the problems at the border were resolved, we haven't picked a suitable successor for Alpha. If you go there, you can share our burden. Ethan also has the same idea."
"Has the lycan king woken up?" I noticed this point and my eyes flew up in surprise.
Laura nodded. "Yes. Thank you for discovering the source of the poison in time, or Ethan might not have survived this time."
"I'm glad I could be of help." I gave her a shy smile. I didn't feel smug. After all, Ethan was Rufus' father and the person he respected the most in the world. No matter what, I would have done my best to save him.
"So accept the appointment. This is the best choice you can make right now." When Laura brought up the topic of the Alpha position again, she turned to eye me seriously.
