All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.
Looking at Rufus'' handsome side face, I felt unwilling to give up. But he didn''t seem to take me
seriously at all.
"Alina, who do you think is thebest among them?" Laura asked me, drawing my attention back to
her. She looked at me kindly as if she had not lost her temper just now.
I pursed my lips and smiled gently. Then I turned to look at the arena and said, "In my opinion,
Sylvia has the most potential."
As soon as I said this, everyone looked at me with surprise and confusion in their eyes.
"Alina, you don''t have to praise her only because you''re afraid of making someone unhappy."
Laura''s words were full of underlying meaning. She nced at Rufus and snorted coldly.
But Rufus didn''t seem to mind at all. He was still focused on the figure in the arena. I clenched my
fists tightly, feeling a little jealous of that ve.
"My Queen, I''m telling the truth," I said to Laura in a soft voice, acting like a coquettish child. I
blinked my eyes and pretended to be too shy to look at others.
"All right. Then tell me why you think highly of her." Laura was obviously amused by my behavior.
She smiled and touched my nose. "You are still acting like a spoiled child, just like you used to be."
"Well, Sylvia hasn''t received any professional training, but she can even run faster than those who
have received training. She is a natural talent. I think she is amazing." As I spoke, I observed Rufus
out of the corner of my eye, hoping that he would notice me.
When I finished myst sentence, he nced at me sideways. I gave him a gentle smile, but he
didn''t respond. He turned his head away and looked back at the arena. I felt like he regarded me as
a contemptible scoundrel. He seemed to have read through my inner thoughts at a nce and
disdained me.
The feeling of embarrassment and anger ignited in my heart at once. Why didn''t he want someone
like me, a nobledy who could understand him? Why did he prefer a lowly ve? I looked at Sylvia
in the arena, feeling disgusted inside me.
Since I was a child, I had never suffered such grievances. But for the sake of my pack and power,
as well as my father, who was counting on me, I had to endure it.
At the thought of my father, my heart inevitably stung.
Ever since my father got seriously ill and his health deteriorated, our originally strong pack began to
decline day by day. And when the surrounding packs saw this, they all wanted to annex our pack
aggressively.
I was the only child and heir of my father. But the members of our pack thought that I was not strong
enough to support them. So they all supported the Beta to get the position of the Alpha. The Beta
had been coveting this position for a long time. In fact, he was just waiting for my father to die, so he
could rece him. By then, I would lose everything.
I couldn''t imagine falling from heaven to hell, so I had to prevent it from happening. Now that my
father''s serious illness and the embarrassing situation of our pack had not spread out yet, I was still
the daughter of Alpha Leonard Quinn in everyone''s eyes. And he was still the powerful werewolf
with a lycan bloodline. I had to take advantage of this time to bond with Rufus, the heir of the lycan
king, to be his mate.
So when I first came here, I didn''t care about how cruel and bloodthirsty he was. I thought that as
long as I could win Laura''s heart, my position in the pack would be secured.
But since meeting Rufus, my heart had been beating abnormally fast. From then on, what I wanted
was far more than just a status. I also wanted this perfect lycan to be mine.
But I didn''t expect that Sylvia, an annoying ve, woulde out of nowhere and get his favor. He
even refused to marry me because of her.
Fortunately, Laura hated Sylvia as much as I did. Laura was my trump card, and it made me feel
less worried. So this time, when I heard that Sylvia was going to participate in the cement exam,
I specially coaxed Laura to watch it together.
I wanted to see Sylvia make a fool of herself in public. But I didn''t expect her to be so excellent.
"Alina, you''re right. That ve is indeed talented. I''m impressed by her," Laura said.
I came back to my senses and smiled in agreement. Laura''s face softened, and she seemed to
have changed her mind about Sylvia. But this couldn''t go on like this. If Laura epted Sylvia in the
end, it would be terrible.
So I found an excuse to leave the table. I contacted the guard I had bribed in the dark and asked
him to change the props for Sylvia''s strength test as originally nned. I would totally embarrass
Sylvia in front of Rufus and Laura.
