The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 705

Leonard's POV:

"What have you done?" I asked in a trembling voice. How on earth was she able to kill Chet without anyone noticing? This meant that Sylvia might be in danger too!

I didn't dare to entertain that thought. I had to focus on finding a way to capture this mysterious woman.

She snorted and turned a deaf ear to my questioning. "What have I done? Don't you see, Leonard? Your son-in-law is dead, and I was the one who killed him. He kept calling Alina's name before he died. How touching, yet pathetic!"

I was furious. If Alina wasn't here, I would've killed this woman on the spot. But now, I couldn't act so rashly.

The woman raised her hand and slowly smoothed the blue tassels on her sleeve. She seemed to be in a good mood, because she smiled and said, "Calm down, Leonard. It's not good for your health. Besides, it was your daughter who begged me to do it. And I helped her out of the goodness of my heart."

"What the hell are you talking about? How could Alina even think about a ridiculous thing like this? Chet was her mate!" I shouted at the woman in black angrily. However, as I spoke, I glanced at Alina, only to find a guilty expression on her face.

My heart sank, but I didn't have the time to deal with Alina right now. The woman in black was the real enemy, not my daughter.

But I took this as an opportunity and pretended to question Alina aggressively, "What the hell is going on?"

Eyes wide in fear, Alina didn't say anything. She simply lowered her head guiltily.

The woman in black looked at us with a crazed smile. She seemed to be enjoying a show.

I sneered in my heart, but I continued with my act and glared at Alina. "Say something, God damn it!"

The woman in black sighed and interrupted my tirade. "Oh, don't be so angry with her, Leonard. Alina had no choice."

I didn't say anything and feigned an annoyed expression.

The woman laughed gloatingly. Just when she was about to say something more, I took advantage of her distraction and instantly turned into a wolf to attack her.

The woman chuckled, stood up, and strolled towards Alina.

I instantly felt scared that she'd do something to hurt my daughter, so I tried to stand up, but I couldn't.

"Alina, run!" I cried desperately.

But to my horror, Alina didn't move. She just lowered her head and stood there quietly, like a broken puppet.

The pain was too much. I fell to the ground once more. In a last ditch effort, I used what was left of my strength to urge Alina to leave.

The woman in black threw her head back and laughed maniacally. She gently toughed Alina's hair and said in a dangerous tone, "Didn't you find it strange, Leonard? Your daughter became so obedient all of a sudden and even cooked soup for you every day." "You—!" I covered my heaving chest and couldn't speak another word.

"You're still as stupid and self-righteous as you were twenty years ago, my dear God of War. Do you think your own daughter would cook you soup out of the goodness of her heart?" The woman in the black cloak smiled smugly, her eyes flashing in amusement. "Leonard, she has been poisoning you."
