"Who exactly am I?"

"What did you just say? You don't even know who my mother is? She is Marlowe O'Malley. If you want to claim to be my mother's sister, you should at least know what my mother's name is. Just knowing my full name cannot be proof."

I let out a long sigh. Tonight was a very long night. Even without this imposter woman, I was already feeling very tired.

"You... better stop your tricks before it's too late," I growled. I turned around to leave together with the Alpha Kings.

"No! No, Ruby! This is about your life! You must know the truth about your identity!" she shouted. Her hand stretched forward, but she still couldn't reach me because of the warriors.

I stopped. Turned my head back to stare at the old woman. Her words drew my mind to dig deep, and the pitiful expression on her face made my heart weaken. I still couldn't control the compassion that always surfaced.

"Untie the ropes binding her body," I ordered the warriors.
