I froze for a moment and then proceeded to wipe the stains on my trousers instead.
The room was filled with an eerie silence. After silently wiping my pants, I stuffed my handkerchief back into my pocket and stood up to face Alina.
“You have to stop this, Alina. If Alpha finds about this, he will be very disappointed in what you have done,” I said blankly. Surprisingly, I was at peace.
In a panic, Alina grabbed my sleeve. “Are you going to tell my father? No! You can’t do that. All my efforts will be in vain! What do you want? I’ll do anything for you. Just don’t tell my father!”
I shook off her hand and didn’t even look at her. “I’m not going to report you to him this time, but I will no longer help you with anything. Be careful of how you conduct yourself from now on.”
I turned around and walked away. Alina caught up with me and begged hurriedly, “Promise me you won’t tell my father!”
I paused, but I didn’t turn around to answer her question. Instead, I just continued walking.
Alina’s POV
I was so angry that I smashed the vase in the direction where Warren left. “So ungrateful!”
Then I suddenly heard Coco scream from the outside and saw her running in a panic. “Bad news! Warren threw all the sculptures in the cupboard into the trash can. I can’t stop him.”
“Just let him. Those are a pile of rubbish, anyway.” I got even angrier and directly overturned the table.
Those sculptures were all handmade by Warren. Every year, he would give one to me as a birthday present. He was obviously doing this now to make a clean break with me.
He said that he would always protect me and stand on my side forever. He lied. He was only good at saying fine words.
Did he really think I cared about these things? Not at all! They were nothing but rubbish to me.
I smashed the lights on the wall one after another. The carved screen was slanted on the edge of the sofa, and the entire floor was in a mess.
I only calmed down after venting out my anger. I didn’t even know when I lost one of my shoes.
I stepped on the cold floor with one bare foot. For the first time, I felt lonely and helpless. My heart was like a leaking pipe. It was empty and couldn’t be filled in no matter what.
“Miss Quinn, are you all right?” Coco asked as she carefully squatted down and put my shoe on me.
I sat down in a trance, like a puppet whose strings had been cut loose. “Do you think Warren will tell my father what I have done?” I asked.
“I don’t think so. He’s not the kind of werewolf who likes blowing the gab,” Coco said to comfort me, putting a coat around my shoulders.
I cupped my face in pain, feeling flustered. Warren was so disappointed in me, and there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t tell my father.
My father had always been a serious and stereotyped werewolf who was upright and honest. Thus, he had trained Warren to be a man of justice too.
Since I was a child, my father was always displeased whenever I showed a little bit of scheming. Then he would teach me a lesson harshly.
Therefore, I had to pretend to be innocent and kind-hearted all the time to win his favor.
I deceived not only my father but also Warren. Warren always liked the gentle and considerate me. And now that my disguise was removed, he left me without hesitation.
If my father also knew my true color, the consequences would be unimaginable. It was either I would be forced to leave the royal palace or lose the position of the pack’s heir. These consequences were both unbearable to me.
So now, I could only beg Warren not to tell my father about me for the sake of our past.
But when I thought that he only liked the girl I disguised myself to be, I felt annoyed. It was as if there was a fire burning in my heart.
“Coco, do you think a man’s heart can really change so fast? Can it happen in such a short time?” I asked blankly.
“Maybe if there’s a reason. Before you came to the capital, Warren was so good to you, and everything between you went smoothly. He was always obedient to you. He couldn’t have changed so fast,” Coco replied and sighed meaningfully.
I glanced at her coldly and said, “What reason can it be? His attitude towards me has changed so much since he went to the academy. Or is it because I asked him to hurt Sylvia? It’s such a trivial thing. Before we came here, no matter how unhappy he was, he would never get mad at me.”
“He…” Coco hesitated for a while and gave me a frightened look.
“What? If you have anything to say, just say it. Since he wants to go against me, we don’t need to have scruples.” After all, it was Warren who betrayed me first.
“It seems that Warren has gotten very close to Sylvia in the academy. They often train together, and they talk and laugh a lot. They look like they are having a really good time.”
Alina’s POV
“How did you know that?” I asked coldly. I felt like my heart sank into a dark ancient well, and it was extremely cold.
Instead of answering my question, Coco quickly took out her phone. “Here are some pictures of them while training together. These were taken by the spies we arranged in the academy.”
I grabbed Coco’s phone to check the photos. I even zoomed in on them to see clearly. In the photos, Warren was laughing so wantonly. He had never laughed like this in front of me since he came to the capital.
‘Damn it, Sylvia! You again?’ I thought inwardly. My hand clenched the phone tightly, wishing I could tear Sylvia into pieces right now.
“Besides, Warren didn’t really break Sylvia’s leg. He just had a talk with her, then she decided not to go to the ball,” Coco added hesitantly.
“Why didn’t you tell me these important things?” I was so furious that I instantly smashed the phone to the floor. “Imbeciles! All of you!”
I gasped, the feeling of betrayal and humiliation welled up in my heart.
Coco just shrugged her shoulders but didn’t dare to get close to me. “I’m afraid that you’ll get mad, and your health will be affected.”
I couldn’t help but sneer, “So why are you telling me now? Are you not afraid anymore that my health will be affected?”
“I…”
“Enough! I don’t want to hear anything about it anymore.” I interrupted her, pinching my forehead. Then I asked, “Any other pictures taken?”
“Yes, there are.” Coco nervously picked up her phone from the floor and showed me the other pictures. And in each one of them, Warren was smiling happily.
I closed my eyes and waved my hand helplessly. “I don’t want to see them anymore. It seems that Warren likes Sylvia too.”
“If that’s the case, then why don’t you take advantage of the situation and frame them both?” Coco suggested.
