The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Alina's POV:

Everyone was shocked by Sylvia's yelp. Rufus approached me with a frosty expression and grasped my wrist tightly. "What's in your hand? Show me!"

Pain lanced through my hand. I swallowed the fear that threatened to overwhelm me and curled my fingers more firmly around the object I was holding. If Rufus saw it, he would kill me.

Rufus was so enraged that he tightened his grip. Finally, I felt my fingers go numb and the razor blade I'd hidden between them clattered to the ground.

Upon hearing the sound of the blade hitting the ground, everyone turned in my direction.

My body involuntarily began shaking. Ever since I was a child, I would get frightened when my father became stern with me. Now, it was a well-established habit that I couldn't break.
