The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Rufus' POV:

Edwin was about to say something but stopped after reconsidering. Finally, he simply sighed and turned his back to Alina.

I felt a little helpless. Alina was Leonard's only immediate family member. If she didn't give us permission, we could not conduct the autopsy by force. "Have you seen enough of my father's body? If you have had your fill, you can leave. Don't disturb his peace." Alina frostily directed us to leave.

Upon hearing that, Owen stopped crying. He got his emotions under control and turned to look at Alina.

"Child, Leonard is not just your father. He is also the leader of the whole pack. He is dead now. You can't send everyone away so overbearingly and not let anyone mourn him."

It seemed that Alina was ready to drop her pretense. Her usual obedience and impassivity disappeared without a trace. She gave Owen a sarcastic smile. "Do you think that's what my father needs? Where were you when he was murdered? In order to save a lowly she-wolf, you didn't leave behind a single guard to protect my father! Have you seen the hole in his chest? How painful do you think his death was? I think you all should be held accountable for his death. So, don't shed crocodile tears."

After hearing her outburst, Edwin collapsed to the ground, overwhelmed by guilt. "You're right. We're all responsible for Leonard's death."
