Warren's POV:
Alina's sudden accusation made me even more confused.
When did I betray her? If she hadn't kept crossing the line, we wouldn't even be in this situation.
"Alina, just leave here and go back to our pack."
I gave her an ultimatum.
At the same time, I felt exhausted, as though all my energy was drained.I never thought that our
relationship would fall apart one day.
Alina raised her head and looked at me in disbelief.
Without the heavy makeup she usually wore, she looked more delicate and beautiful.
However, I knew better.
Pure looking people were usually capable of doing something filthy.I looked away from her and made
up my mind.
"If you leave, I'll pretend nothing happened.Otherwise, I'll make it public and hand in the evidence."
"How dare you?"
Alina's angry rebuke rang in my ears, but I didn't care anymore.
I looked out the window indifferently and murmured, "I gave you a pass last time, but you never take
my words seriously.Maybe you don't take me seriously at all.But I guess you just proved that you're a
noble, pampered—no, spoiled—daughter of an Alpha.
"You can't do this to me!" Alina shrieked.
"Does our friendship mean nothing to you? How could you desert me for an outsider?"
She yanked at my sleeve desperately.
"Look at me, God damn it! You've never acted like this before! This is all because of that bitch, right?
Did Sylvia tell you to do this to me?"
Only then did I look at her.
My gaze was cold and full of disdain.
"I'm being merciful right now, for old time's sake.But if you don't leave, I won't show you any mercy.I
mean it," I said in a low voice.
Alina loosened her grip on my clothes and staggered back a few steps before finally falling to the
ground.
"You're heartless," she muttered under her breath.
I didn't respond.
My heart wrenched in my chest, but I firmly believed that her leaving was the best choice.
If Rufus found out what she had done, she would be doomed.
Besides, I knew Alina.
She wouldn't stop until she reached her goal.
I was afraid that she would slip and make more mistakes.I needed to take advantage of this chance to
redeem her mistake and force her to return to the pack before any more damage was caused.
Thinking about how ill Alpha Leonard was, I really didn't have the heart to see him suffer anything
more.
He would die from heartbreak if he found out his precious daughter had been executed by the prince.
"But if I leave here for no reason, I won't be able to -I explain to Queen Laura.I need a proper reason to
leave or else it will arouse suspicion."
Alina lowered her head.
In a small voice, she asked, "Can you give me one more month? The parade will be held early next
month.My father will attend as a representative of our pack.After the ceremony, I will leave with him."
"Okay.But you can't stay a day longer than that.And you have to promise that you won't do anything to
hurt I Sylvia while you're still here.Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
I sighed and gave in.
After all, it was not easy to make her compromise.
"Oh, shit!"
Alina suddenly raised her head and her expression fell.
"We need to stop Coco now!"
I frowned slightly.
"What do you mean?"
Alina hemmed and hawed, averting her gaze deliberately.
"I did something before you came."
"What did you do?" I asked in a low voice.
I tried my best to hold back my anger, but my head started to pound.How come I didn't know she was
such a troublemaker until now?
"Well, I—"
Alina quickly stood up and started to walk away.
"It's not too late to stop her now!" As she spoke, she took out her phone to call her maid, Coco.
"Don't worry,"
Alina mouthed at me as she dialed her number.Alina didn't dare to look at me.She agitatedly gripped
her phone and tapped the speaker button.
"Let's both be on the call.I stood rooted to the spot, fuming.I could tell that she had done a really bad
thing behind my back again.As expected, as soon as the phone was connected, Coco's enthusiastic
voice sounded from the other end of the line.
"Miss Quinn! I did what you asked me to do!"
