Sylvia's POV:
It would be great if Warren could inherit the position of an Alpha. He had been with Leonard ever since he was a child, and to a certain extent, Leonard had already regarded Warren as his own son. As for what Leonard was worried about, I had a vague idea of what he meant.
He was worried that Warren would attach too much importance to his friends and family. I thought the same. S-aloh the Findlovel.net website on Gøøgle to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Leonard sighed. "Warren is stubborn. Pedantic, even. He had adored me ever since he was a child, and he cherished Alina a lot. Owen had always thought that Warren liked Alina, but I don't think he does. He would lose sight of who he is in front of her and unconditionally obey her orders. He wouldn't behave like that if he really loved her."
Deep down, I agreed. Warren was more like Alina's guardian.
Love wasn't that simple.
If Warren was in love, he would be possessive and perhaps would sometimes want to control Alina as well. He wouldn't be so obedient all the time.
"I think they're more like siblings," I said.
Warren and Alina grew up together, and in a traditional sense, they were
childhood sweethearts. If they didn't have romantic feelings for each other, then it could only be family affection that bonded them together.
Since Alina had gone to the imperial city and focus on marrying a prince, their relationship withered. What they had been through before had become the past. They had to live their own lives now.
I believed that Warren came back to Alina's wedding simply because they were from the same pack. There was nothing going on between them anymore.
Leonard nodded in agreement with my comment. "You're right. Warren's feelings for Alina are more like brotherly affection than love. I'm glad he found his true love. I instantly noticed that he was possessive and overprotective towards that she-wolf. It's obvious that he's deeply in love. The way he treats that she-wolf is just like how Rufus treats you."
Leonard burst into laughter after saying that. My cheeks flushed in
embarrassment as I held Rufus' hand.
Indeed, Rufus could be overbearing sometimes, but I enjoyed his company. Perhaps this was the magic of love.
"What I'm trying to say is, even if Warren didn't love Alina, he admired and respected her. He would even be indecisive in front of her. Maybe that's just because he was used to it. Ever since they were children, he had always been taking care of her anyway. Once, I thought about leaving Alina in the pack so she and Warren could support each other and manage the pack together as if they were real siblings. But when Alina went to the imperial city, I gave up on that idea. I've thought of countless ways, but there was only one decision that made me feel at ease." Leonard waved his hand. "If Alina stays in the pack, she'l no doubt interfere with Warren's power to rule. I don't want that to happen. I will never allow any internal strife to happen in my pack. Both of them are my beloved children, and I love them with all my heart. Therefore, I figured the best way is to let them live their own lives, far away from each other."
With that said, the best choice was to let Alina marry into another pack.
Even if Warren could be an Alpha in the near future, Alina was the daughter of the former Alpha, so interfering with political affairs was inevitable for her. Leonard was afraid of the possibility that there might be conflicts if they didn't get along with each other.

"I'll only feel relieved after Alina gets married." Leonard heaved a long sigh of relief. Then, he took me and Rufus to the center of the city, telling us that he wanted ys to taste the local food. Although Leonard was an Alpha, he was quite close to the civilians. They weren't fearful of him. They would always stop to greet him and show him the highest amount of respect. They even became a lot more enthusiastic when they heard that
Prince Rufus had arrived. The

Leonard gave up on continuing to show us around because more and more people were coming to greet us. He simply decided that we would go back to the welcome banquet. The content is on Popsnovel.com! Read the latest chapter there!
Just as we were about to get inside the car, a person wearing a black cloak flashed through the crowd.
I saw that black cloak before. That was exactly what Noreen wore in the stone chamber!
Immediately after that realization, my thoughts shifted to the letter that Noreen
gave me.
I didn't hesitate even for a single moment and ran after that person.
