Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 732

Sylvia’s POV:

“Alina wants to take over the position of Alpha? I didn’t see that coming. When Leonard was still alive, he specifically said that he wanted Warren to be his successor.” I slowly put down the cup on the table as dread and apprehension filled my heart. Leonard’s death had brought in a lot of changes.

Rufus nodded, adding an ice cube to the coffee. After taking a sip, he said, “Leonard didn’t leave anything in writing before his death and now Alina wants the position for herself. She contacted some of the elders of the pack in private and managed to gain their support. Her claim for the position is legit.”

My head started spinning and dizziness overcame me. I had no idea that Alina had secretly planned a campaign in just a few days. However, it didn’t surprise me because it was natural for her to pave the way for her future.

I sighed, expressing concern with my eyes, “What about Warren? What does he have to say about it? He didn’t look so good when I saw him earlier today.”

I felt sorry for him when I remembered the scene of him crying at the funeral.

“Warren didn’t want it in the first place, so when Alina proposed to take over the position of the Alpha, he readily agreed,” Rufus said lightly.

“I knew it.”

I leaned against the bar counter, supporting my chin in one hand. I wasn’t surprised by Warren’s decision. After all, he was never obsessed with power. Perhaps letting it go was best for him.

“But Alina is not suitable for that position. I’m afraid that the pack will fall into internal strife in the future if she becomes the Alpha,” Rufus said coldly.

I tilted my head and thought for a while. “Maybe not. With the help of Warren and Edwin, the pack should be okay.”

Even if something really happened, as an outsider, I didn’t think it was my place to interfere.

I couldn’t help but sigh. “Let’s wait and see what will happen first.”

“Don’t you find it strange?” Rufus looked at me seriously.

“What’s strange?” I looked at him with confusion.

“Isn’t it strange how Alina stands to gain the most from all of this? Is it possible that she killed Leonard for her benefit?” Rufus asked seriously, grasping me by the chin.

I stared at him with furrowed eyebrows, finding myself at a loss for words. “What are you saying? But, Leonard loved her so much? Alina might be greedy, but she wouldn’t kill her father.”

Although what Rufus said made perfect sense to me, I simply couldn’t bring myself to believe that Alina could be so heartless. No matter how evil a person was, no one would cross a line of such severity. I honestly believed that Alina was no exception.

Without conscious thought, I denied Rufus’ conjecture.

Rufus sighed, letting go of my hand, and said, “Forget it. Let’s keep investigating.”

I nodded in response, before adding, “I won’t be attending Alina’s Alpha Ceremony. As you know, Alina and I are never friends. Anyway, we’d better go back. I don’t want to stay here any longer.”

I could still feel Leonard everywhere I turned, and I feared that if I stayed too long, I wouldn’t be able to pull myself out of the abyss of sadness.

Rufus had no objection. He nodded and then called someone on his phone to arrange tomorrow’s schedule.

I called Flora to say goodbye and inform her that I would be heading back to the capital tomorrow.

Flora didn’t sound too happy and after muttering to herself for a while, she finally made up her mind.

“I’m sorry, Sylvia. I can’t go back to the capital with you right now. Warren isn’t doing very well. I’m going to stay back and help him out with what he needs. You know, Leonard was like a father to him.”
