Chapter 12 Admission


    Sylvia''s POV:


    I kept silent. Whenever my mother would be mentioned, I was always filled with resentment. These


    werewolves loved to pretend that they were righteous on the surface. But deep down, they were no


    cleaner than sewer rats. What made them think they could judge my mother?


    "Sylvia, calm down. You must endure." Yana was always the one to remind me to be cautious.


    "I''ve endured for too long, Yana. In the end, all I get is humiliation."


    "If you don''t endure now, you won''t even get a chance to live. How can you prove your innocence


    from under the grave?"


    "But what''s the point of living if I don''t even have dignity anymore? I have been enduring all my life,


    Yana, but nothing good ever happens. I was even sent to a man''s bed, essentially to my death, to


    be tortured tonight." I was losing all hope. There really were times when I thought ending my life


    would just make things easier, but then I would always think of my mother. I couldn''t die without


    clearing her name.

    "Why don''t you exin for yourself? Sylvia?" Shawn''s harsh voice jolted me out of my thoughts.


    I ignored him, shutting my eyes. I knew my mother was innocent, but I just didn''t have any evidence


    to prove that right now. What an ipetent daughter I was!


    "Fine. If you don''t want to say it, I''ll do it myself." Shawn shot me a re before switching up to a


    righteous tone in his voice. "Her mother used to be the Beta of our pack, but she got too greedy for


    power. She betrayed the pack. Thete Alpha and Luna, my parents, were brutally murdered by


    her."


    He gritted through his teeth with every word. I clenched my fists, trying to follow Yana''s advice and


    restrain myself.


    "Her mother was born to be nothing but a bitch. An ungrateful shrew! When she got pregnant


    without knowing who the father of her child was, my parents mercifully took care of her and helped


    her through. But what do they get in return? Treachery and death! She killed my parents and


    deserved to go to hell. In my opinion, I think just executing her was even too light of a punishment!"


    "Shawn! Shut up!" I could not hold back anymore. "I will not allow you to speak of my mother that


    way!"


    "Why? Did I say anything that wasn''t true?"


    "My mother is not like that. She is innocent. She would never betray the pack." Tears welled up in


    my eyes as I defended my mother.


    "Oh, please. There are records of evidence to prove that your mother is the murderer of my


    parents!" Shawn looked at me with murderous intent.


    "Records made by someone who cheats and uses torture for inquisition? Those don''t mean


    anything." I yanked my hand away from Rufus '' grip and took a few steps forward, pointing my


    finger at him. "You. Don''t think you''re clean either! Who is the one ying puppet to an evil man


    right now to maintain power in the pack? Shame on you!"


    "You talk too much for a ve, a daughter of a traitor! You''re going to learn your lesson today!"


    Shawn turned to his men and shouted, "Beat this bitch to death!"


    Chaos ensued. I was immediately shoved to the ground and surrounded by Shawn''s men.


    All of a sudden, one of the werewolves in front of me was kicked down to the ground, leaving him


    howling in pain.


    It was Rufus who attacked. He stood in front of me, staring down the other werewolves like a


    demon ready to send souls to hell. Some of them were frozen to their spot in the presence of his


    murderous re.


    With one cold warning nce at the werewolves, he turned to me and bent down. I unconsciously


    flinched and dodged.


    "What? Do you really want to stay here?" he whispered.


    My eyes widened. Before I could even reply, he picked me up in his arms. My body stiffened and


    didn''t know how to react to his touch.


    It was a little ufortable at first, but then I felt the warmth of his hand press onto my back. "Why


    are you protecting the traitor''s daughter?" Shawn questioned hysterically.


    I pursed my lips, unsure whether I wanted to hear Rufus'' answer.


    "Because she''s my mate."


    When he said that, I felt my heart beat in a way I had never felt before. I looked up at the handsome


    lycan, surprised that he had said it.
