The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 132

Sylvia's POV:

Now that I had spilled my heart out, it felt as if a weight was lifted off my chest. However, my heart beat faster because I was eager to find his response. Rufus continued to look at me.

"You don't have to lie to make me feel better." Rufus' eyes were cold. It looked like he wanted to leave. I knew he didn't believe me.

I was so anxious that I stood up and grabbed his sleeve. "It's true. I'm not lying. It's the truth. I like you. I can't live without you, Rufus!"

"Then why did you reject me when I tried approaching you?" Rufus asked coldly. The complicated emotions in his eyes confused me. I couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"That was because I was afraid I didn't deserve you." I looked at him helplessly and grabbed his sleeve. I was afraid that he would leave as soon as I released my grip. "You are too perfect and I'm just a slave."

Tears trickled down my cheeks again. His indifference frightened me.

"I know I was wrong. I will be honest with you and myself. I will tell you everything frankly from now on without overanalyzing things." I hitched with sobs because I couldn't control myself anymore. An indescribable sadness surged up in my heart. I couldn't bear to even think about losing Rufus.

Rufus grabbed my wrist, trying to unclasp my fingers that were clutching his sleeve. But I got more emotional and cried, "Don't leave!"

I stubbornly pulled his sleeve, refusing to let him go-

Rufus closed his eyes and sighed. "I'm not leaving."

Then, he pulled me into his arms. "I love you, Sylvia. How will I ever leave you? You have no idea how happy I am after hearing your confession. I have never been this happy before." I looked up at him, my eyes widening in surprise. "Weren't you going to leave now?"

Rufus smiled helplessly and planted a soft kiss on my forehead.

I blushed and pushed him away. "Why... why did you kiss me all of a sudden?"

"You are adorable. I couldn't help it," Rufus whispered in my ear. "So you have accepted me, right?"

I nodded shyly. Rufus and I formally confirmed our mate bond. We were no longer partners.

Rufus wrapped his arms around my waist and stared into my eyes. The love and affection blazing in his eyes seemed to melt me into a puddle.
