The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 714 Terrible News

Sylvia's POV:

I sensed something unusual when I stepped into the palace. Everyone looked quite serious and seemed to be in haste. I had no idea what they were busy with.

I felt a little uneasy. I quickened my pace to get to Leonard's office in time, but I couldn't find him there.

Then I went to his room but couldn't find him there either.

At this point, I was growing restless. Quickly, I made my way downstairs, where I was greeted by a guard. I remembered that he worked for Leonard.

I stopped him and asked, "Where is Alpha Leonard?"

The guard recognized me and stammered with embarrassment.

Something was obviously wrong, so I asked again, "Where is Alpha Leonard? Tell me!"

The guard didn't dare to look at me. He stammered, "He is d-dead..."

I couldn't believe his words. "Dead? What nonsense are you talking about?"

How could a person die suddenly for no reason? The last time I saw him, Leonard was in perfect condition.

The guard trembled and sped up to narrate what happened. "It's Miss Alina's fiance, Chet. He suddenly attacked Alpha Leonard when he had a relapse and was feeling weak..."

"I don't believe it! Leonard is the God of War. How could someone much weaker than he could manage to kill him so easily?" Fear and anger rose in my voice. The guard's words struck fear in my heart because I knew they might be true. There was no hint of deceit etched on his face. Even his eyes were bloodshot.

"Miss Todd, we don't want to believe this either. Although Alpha Leonard defeated him, he was also fatally wounded. He died before the doctor arrived."

I shook my head in disbelief and staggered backward. "No, I don't believe that Leonard is dead. You are kidding me, right? Leonard must be playing a trick on everyone. He's just playing us, right?" As I spoke, my voice cracked with grief, and my eyes turned red.

The guard looked at me sadly with teary eyes. He looked very strong. His tanned skin highlighted his clearly defined muscles.

Even a tough guy like him couldn't hold back the tears any longer.

He sobbed intermittently and wiped his tears roughly with the back of his hand. "Alpha Leonard was stabbed directly in his heart. It was too late when Miss Alina discovered that her fiance had murdered Alpha Leonard."

My head was buzzing. As much as I tried to tell myself to calm down, I couldn't stop myself from shaking and my core temperature dropped precipitously.

When I thought about Leonard, I pictured someone strong and all-knowing. He had spent most of his life fighting and killing enemies on the battlefield. Even if he got sick, he would fight his illness like a warrior. I took it for granted, thinking he would live long and happy.

I was considering living here for a while to accompany him.

I had hoped that when Rufus and I had children, he would be able to help raise them and share in our excitement as a family.

But all this happened so suddenly.

He had spent his life guarding against enemies but failed to protect himself from the people around him.

It was unbelievably ridiculous.

I couldn't believe it. But when I thought of Leonard's legs turning frail due to his relapses, I shivered all over. Reeling from shock and disbelief, I lost my balance and fell backward.
