Leonard's POV:
Rufus and I were in a conversation in the corridor. As I watched the bustling scene outside, I was in a good mood.
Now that Alina was going to get married, she could look forward to a lifetime of happiness.
Subconsciously, I reached into my pocket and pulled out a chocolate bar. But a hand snatched it out of my fingers just as I was ready to bite into it.
"You shouldn't eat sweets." Rufus looked very serious as he tossed the candy into the bin.
I feigned a cough to cover my embarrassment. Rufus didn't treat me with any respect even though I was now his father-in-law.
"What's wrong?" He turned to me with a serious look.
Awkward, I cracked a grin. "Nothing. It's just you have been with Sylvia for a long time now, and I want to give you an anniversary gift."
As he frowned, Rufus appeared to be at a loss for words. He examined me as though there was something wrong with my brain.
"What do you and Sylvia like? Tell me." I bit the bullet and continued to ask.
Rufus kept silent for a while before saying in a cold tone, "Alpha Leonard, I know you really
mean to ask what Sylvia likes."
The second he caught me off guard, my face flushed, and I stammered, "Well, it's... it's not like that. I just want to do something to make amends to Sylvia..."
I had been worried sick these days. And I was at a loss what to do about our father-daughter relationship.
Alas...
I was hoping the ceremony would end quickly so I could see Sylvia again and tell her I was her father.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door. One of my subordinates hastened to tell me that the groom was on his way.
I then picked myself up and was prepared to go outside to welcome the groom.
Unexpectedly, Alina pushed the door of her lounge open and rushed out. She was disheveled and pallid from fear. "There are enemies! They took Sylvia away!" Without waiting for Alina to finish her sentence, Rufus rushed in without a second thought.
It took a while for me to come to my sense and rush in too.
When we entered the room, we saw a figure in a black cloak burst the window with Sylvia in arms.
Immediately, Rufus transformed into a wolf and began to pursue the perpetrator.
I was about to follow him, but I suddenly had a relapse. My heart was numb, and the smell of blood gushed from my throat. The next second,
I spat out a mouthful of blood.
I could feel the ground shaking all around me. The impact sent me tumbling to the floor before I could even think.
"Leonard!"
My eyes could only see pitch black, and I had no idea who was calling my name. It took a while before my vision gradually cleared.
Edwin had me in his arms and said anxiously, "I'll call the doctor!"
