Chapter 678 Fierce Eyes


    Sylvia''s POV:


    I felt my scalp tingle under Alina''s intense gaze. I could tell that there was a glimmer of hatred in her


    eyes.


    Didn''t Leonard say she had been counting on Warrentely to get her out of her mess? If that truly


    was the case, why was she staring at me like that? Did she still have feelings for Rufus?


    I thought with a frown as I took a good look at her eyes.


    Alina''s eyes were beautiful, and her irises were a shade of grayish-blue. She had always looked at


    people with a hint of innocence. She probably inherited the color of her eyes from her mother


    because Leonard''s eyes were dark green. They almost looked ck.


    Her eyes would light up every time she smiled. I didn''t think a resentful look suited her.


    Alina smiled before looking away to greet everyone. At that point, she seemed like an elegantdy


    from a noble family.


    I breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she turned away. Flora simply stood still as she murmured,


    "She''s so scary sometimes."


    After an exchange of pleasantries, Rufus was invited to sit in the main seat while Leonard sat on the


    first seat by the left. Opposite of him was Owen, followed by Edwin and Flora''s parents.


    Alina came there early and chose a seat on the other side of the long table.


    I sat next to Leonard, alongside Flora and Warren.


    "Your favorite baked banana is going to be served today," Leonard said, helping me arrange the


    tableware as he spoke.


    I thanked him with a smile. I didn''t expect him to remember that I liked baked bananas.


    I poured Leonard a ss of wine as we casually chatted.


    The atmosphere was harmonious while we talked, but when I looked over at Alina, I noticed that


    she was staring at me again.


    The way she gazed at me made me ufortable. I could tell that there wasn''t only hatred and


    resentment glimmering in her eyes. It was something else entirely.


    I looked down and sat straight, trying to ignore her. A she-wolf''s mind really wasplicated.


    Leonard seemed to have sensed something when he looked my way. He smiled to ease the tension


    in the atmosphere before saying, "Prince Rufus, it is a great honor to have you as our distinguish


    guest in the Silver Moon Pack. Please have a taste of the globefishes here. I''m sure you''ll love it."


    Rufus smiled. "Thank you. The globefishes in your pack are quite famous around these parts."


    Heughed a lot in front of everyone today. Hisughter made the atmosphere a lot more


    harmonious, and everyone was having a great time.


    Everyone present had their eyes on him the entire time since he was the noble prince. He didn''t


    radiate arrogance either, so naturally, the topic was all about him.


    Flora''s parents were quite talkative, and they didn''t panic at all when they met the royal family—


    especially her mother, Hulda. In fact, she became so excited to meet the royal family that she


    almost tripped just to ask Rufus if she could have Ethan''s signature.


    Flora, who had been sitting next to me, giggled when she saw how her mother was acting. "I''m sure


    Prince Rufus must be confused. He probably didn''t expect to meet a loyal fan of his father here."


    I also burst intoughter the moment Flora made thatment. During that time, Hulda was asking


    Rufus about his father''s hobbies and interests. Although Rufus wasn''t showing any kind of


    disinterest in her, I could tell that he was at a loss. This was probably the first time he had seen


    someone enthusiastic enough to know every single detail about the lycan king. Hulda was truly


    Ethan''s die-hard fan.


    Soon I noticed that not everyone was enjoying the night as the rest did. Every now and then, Alina


    would blurt out some mean, harsh words, which also confused me.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    It seemed like she was really mad at me, but I just didn''t know why.


    Flora was also mad at Alina. She keptining about her rudeness in a hushed voice, but I just


    shook my head and urged her to stop. "Just ignore her, Flora."


    But all of a sudden, Alina raised her ss and walked up to me before saying, "Sylvia, I''d like to


    propose a toast to you."


    Although I thought her actions were strange, I also stood up and raised my ss.


    Alina smiled before drinking her wine. Then, she extended her hand and said, "I''m sorry for what I


    did before."


    I hesitated for a while, but I eventually extended my hand to touch hers. As soon as our hands


    touched, I felt a sharp, sudden sting on my palm.


    I immediately shook off her hand and stepped back in shock.
