SWNOVELS Chapter 24
Laura's POV:
"Mother, you are messing around," Rufus snapped coldly. He was instantly displeased with me.
I knew that he would react this way. After all, he was my son, and I knew him. But not everything would be up to him.
"Your father and I have already discussed this. He is satisfied with Alina too." I put on a loving smile and deliberately mentioned Ethan's name to make Rufus accept the arrangement.
"I have never thought of finding a fiancee," Rufus said coldly. He didn't even spare a glance at Alina. Slal*th the Find Dølel.not website on Gøøgle to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"You are already twenty-eight years old. You can't delay getting married any longer. Besides, the ministers have been urging you," I continued to persuade him. But I also couldn't help feeling helpless. Rufus had been very assertive since he was a child. And convincing him to do something he didn't want was extremely difficult.
"I am responsible for finding my own mate," Rufus insisted.
"No. When it comes to this matter, I have the final say," I said angrily. I was his mother, but he didn't respect me at all. When I noticed that everyone's eyes were on me, I softened my voice. "Alina is a good girl. She is gentle, considerate, and talented. I think you two are a perfect match." "Since you like her so much, why don't you introduce her to Richard?" Rufus' mouth curled into a sneer, his eyes full of sarcasm. "Rufus!" I snapped in a low voice. Since there were so many people around, I didn't dare to go too far. I could only swallow my anger, which made my temples ache. He knew I didn't get along well with Richard that illegitimate child of my husband's. But he still used Richard to provoke me.
I also noticed that he looked nervously at the lowly slave beside him. It was as if he was afraid of angering her. Had he forgotten that he was a dignified prince? How could he be controlled by a she-wolf of low status? It would be such a shame if this news spread.
I clenched my fists so hard that my nails dug into the palms of my hands. I was getting more and more unhappy. How dare the daughter of a traitor enter this place aboveboard! Rufus must have been seduced by her.
Alina held my hand and interrupted with a smile, "The queen is just joking. I'm just here as a guest. Prince Rufus, we can be friends first. So we can get to know each other. It's too early to talk about marriage yet."
In the end, Alina seemed to be a little embarrassed. Her snow-white face flushed, and her beautiful jawline lowered like an elegant white swan.
I patted her hand to comfort her, feeling more and more satisfied with her. Only such a sensible girl like her was qualified to be a member of the royal family. And the most important thing was that her father was Alpha Leonard Quinn, the werewolf who used to be mighty and influential. He also had powerful lye an blood. With his support, Rufus would not have to be afraid of Richard anymore.

But what pissed me off more was
that I couldn't deal with her yet, because I couldn't afford to anger Rufus. Even Ethan couldn't do m anything to quench Rufus' anger, let alone me. If I got rid of her, it would directly destroy my relationship with Rufus. And judging from his attitude towards her, I could guess that this she-wolf was not that simple. So the best way now was to ignore her, find an opportunity to secretly humiliate her, and force her retreat on her own. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
