Sylvia's POV:
I was so angry that I burst into maniac laughter. That was a foolish thing for Noreen to say.
I was to blame for the black thorn on Rufus' back? Why didn't she just tell me that I was the descendant of a witch? It was ridiculous, as if saying that a vampire would faint at the sight of blood.
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't want to tell me, just let me go," I spurted out with a cold face.
Rufus must be very anxious when he knew that I was taken away. Damn it! Noreen was still messing with me!
"Didn't you ask me why I had so many photos of your mother? Aren't you curious why I have her necklace?" Noreen sauntered towards me, her slender shadow swaying on the wall.
Before I could respond, she continued, "I can tell you the answer now. Your mother was my biological sister."
I blinked my eyes, thinking what I heard was wrong. Then, I turned my attention away from the wall and stared intently at Noreen, who was standing only five steps away from me. "Stop messing with me, Noreen. If you're just bored, try casting a spell on someone else and mess with their mind. I don't need this shit!"
Noreen burst into laughter and ignored the evident hint of sarcasm in my tone. "You can choose not to believe me, but your eyes will not deceive you."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and took off her large hood, revealing a face strikingly similar to my mother's in her youth. Anyone who saw it would think that they were indeed sisters.
I stared at her with my mouth agape in disbelief. "How... How could it be?"
Even though I wanted to doubt her, I also knew that it would do her no good to lie to me.
"What the hell is going on?"
My throat was dry and hoarse. When I looked at Noreen, I no longer had the courage to keep calling her a liar.
Noreen rubbed the curls on her chest, gracefully turned around, and sat down with ease. She had a devil-may-care look in that pair of beautiful eyes, my mother's eyes. "Your mother is my half -sister and the disgrace of our entire family."
She said it as nonchalantly as though discussing the weather. "She was a hybrid of a black witch and a dirty werewolf. But the witch bloodline in her body was suppressed by the werewolf bloodline. She was completely incapable of cultivating any witchcraft at all. That's why she had been a target of bullying ever since she was a young girl. Only I would protect her."
