The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Alina's POV:
The guards' voice came from outside.
I instantly spun around and ran out. "Help! There is an assassin in my room!"
The guards quickly rushed to me and surrounded me protectively. "Where is the assassin, Miss Quinn?"
"In my room! Go and catch her!"
They charged into my room, well-armed with weapons, but were stumped. "Miss Quinn, there is no trace of an assassin here..."
"How is that possible?"
I pushed them aside from behind and discovered that there was indeed no assassin in my room. The woman in the black cloak had already escaped.
Witches were skilled at concealing themselves and using magic. If I wasn't holding the pendant that she gave me in my hand as proof, I would have thought that I had just hallucinated our encounter.
The guards did a thorough sweep of the room again, but failed to find the witch. "Miss Quinn, why don'tyoushifttoanotherroom?" one of the guards suggested.
I shook my head and regained my composure. "There's no need. You can leave now."
The guards obeyed and filed out of the room.
My eyes fell on the pendant, which suddenly reminded me of something. I called out to the guards to stop them and asked, "Has a banquet been arranged for tonight?"
Three days ago, my father had sent his men to the East Sea to capture globefishes. The globefishes were only found in the sea near the Silver Moon Pack.
Their meat was renowned for being delicious and tender. Every time my father invited important guests, he would prepare this delicacy.
The castle was abuzz with activity these days, so I reasoned that they had been busy making preparations for the banquet.
But the guards didn't give me an answer right away. They exchanged glances with each other, hesitating to reveal the truth to me.
Ever since I had been confined to my room, my father's spies had replaced all of my loyal servants.
I sneered coldly. "Go and inform my father that I will be attending the banquet tonight."
"Miss Quinn, Alpha Leonard has ordered you to stay in your room..."
"Don't worry. I have considered this issue carefully. I won't run away from the wedding. You can go and relay this message to him," I interrupted the guard impatiently.
My father's sole worry was that I would flee my wedding, so I would just have to show him that I had no intention of doing so. Right now, he was more focused on Sylvia and the other guests, and I was probably quite low on his priority list. Making this small sacrifice for a while to regain my freedom was not a big deal.
The guards had no choice but to follow my instructions and give my message to my father.
I turned on my heel and walked into the dressing room. I casually placed the pendant aside and changed into a white camisole dress.
I gently fingered the lace on the hemline of my dress and studied myself in the mirror, my thoughts running amok. S-lath the FindNøvil.not website on Gøøgl to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The woman with the pale face and muted eyes was actually me.
I pursed my lips and remained in a daze for a while. Then I walked to the dressing table to apply my make-up.
I was determined to best Sylvia this time, so I only put on some light makeup, wanting to appear more pitiful and innocent.

I blinked my eyes and observed my innocent appearance in the mirror, feeling
cheerful.
Since Rufus and Warren were attracted to hypocritical and weak bitches, I was determined to place myself in the same category this time.
By the time I was done applying my makeup, the clock had already struck half
past five in the evening. The party was about to commence soon.
I hummed a merry tune and sprayed perfume on both sides of my neck.
