The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 119

Sylvia's POV:

Rufus walked away without looking back. His usual steady pace now seemed a little hasty. I must have hurt him.

While looking at his lonely back, my heart tightened. It hurt like it was soaked in hot water.

I squatted down and hugged my knees helplessly. I screwed up everything.

"Why did you say such cruel words to your mate?" Yana snapped. There was a clear trace of anger in her voice filled with fury I had never felt before.

I didn't answer her question. I felt so desperate, and I was struggling between regret and hesitation.

I didn't want to say such cruel words either. I liked Rufus so much. But the harsh reality didn't allow me to be willful. And I would never want to be a burden to him.

I looked in the direction where he left. I was in a daze, and my heart was filled with powerlessness.

"Rufus treats you so well. He is very kind to you. And it's very obvious that you like him too. Why can't you just open your heart to him?" Yana said helplessly in a disappointed voice. It was as if she wanted me to express my feelings to Rufus at once.

"Rufus only treats me well because I'm useful to him. He..."

"Nonsense!" Yana interrupted before I could even finish my words. She became even angrier. "Everyone with discerning eyes can see that Rufus likes you. You are just being selfish. You're a coward!"

Every word Yana said was like a knife that cut through my heart. I was a little sad that she didn't understand me. "Yana, please don't say anything more. I'm already very brokenhearted." "If I don't say it, you will only keep making mistakes. Sylvia, wake up. Stop deceiving yourself. If you go on like this, you will only be lonely for the rest of your life. The Moon Goddess has designated such a perfect mate for you, but you are so cruel to him." Yana didn't shut up and continued nagging.

"Am I deceiving myself? I'm doing all of this for Rufus' good. I have made up my mind that I will do my best to improve my strength and not to fall in love with anyone from now on," I retorted aggrievedly.

"What the hell! Have you ever thought about how I will feel if you don't fall in love? Please don't sound so lofty. What do you mean you are doing this for Rufus' good? That's just self-abasement. Rufus never despises you for being a slave. Instead, it is you who always cares about this matter. You trample on his sincerity easily. You are a coward."
