The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 12

Sylvia's POV:

I kept silent. Whenever my mother would be mentioned, I was always filled with resentment. These werewolves loved to pretend that they were righteous on the surface. But deep down, they were no cleaner than sewer rats. What made them think they could judge my mother?

"Sylvia, calm down. You must endure." Yana was always the one to remind me to be cautious.

"I've endured for too long, Yana. In the end, all I get is humiliation."

"If you don't endure now, you won't even get a chance to live. How can you prove your innocence from under the grave?"

"But what's the point of living if I don't even have dignity anymore? I have been enduring all my life, Yana, but nothing good ever happens. I was even sent to a man's bed, essentially to my death, to be tortured tonight." I was losing all hope. There really were times when I thought ending my life would just make things easier, but then I would always think of my mother. I couldn't die without clearing her name.

"Why don't you explain for yourself? Sylvia?" Shawn's harsh voice jolted me out of my thoughts.

I ignored him, shutting my eyes. I knew my mother was innocent, but I just didn't have any evidence to prove that right now. What an incompetent daughter I was!

"Fine. If you don't want to say it, I'll do it myself." Shawn shot me a glare before switching up to a righteous tone in his voice. "Her mother used to be the Beta of our pack, but she got too greedy for power. She betrayed the pack. The late Alpha and Luna, my parents, were brutally murdered by her."

He gritted through his teeth with every word. I clenched my fists, trying to follow Yana's advice and restrain myself.

"Her mother was born to be nothing but a bitch. An ungrateful shrew! When she got pregnant without knowing who the father of her child was, my parents mercifully took care of her and helped her through. But what do they get in return? Treachery and death! She killed my parents and deserved to go to hell. In my opinion, I think just executing her was even too light of a punishment!"

"Shawn! Shut up!" I could not hold back anymore. "I will not allow you to speak of my mother that way!"

"Why? Did I say anything that wasn't true?"
