The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 16

Sylvia's POV:

"Yes. Are you willing to stay with me?" Rufus asked casually.

I lowered my head, feeling bitter in my heart. For so many years, he was the first person to ask for my opinion. I was just a lowly slave with no choice. But going with him was better than staying here. And if I lived, I could have the chance to take revenge.

I was about to say yes when Rufus spoke again.

"If you come with me, I can help you investigate your mother's case."

What he said made me suddenly raise my head.

I looked at him in surprise. "Really?"

"Yes. That's my promise to you as a lycan prince." My heart pounded wildly. I was so surprised that I couldn't believe what I just heard.

I looked him in the eye, trying to find traces that he was only playing tricks on me. But his eyes were as deep as the sea of stars, and I couldn't find a single flaw.

"Yes, I'll go with you," I said word by word, still staring at him.

This was my only chance. Even if there could be a bottomless abyss ahead, I had to move forward.

Rufus raised his head slightly but didn't say anything more.

I stood up and asked, "When are you going to leave? I can go anytime."

This was probably the best news I had ever heard since my mother died. I couldn't help smiling and started looking forward to the future.

"Let's leave at dawn. There's still some time left, so you can sleep for a while." It seemed that Rufus was infected by my good mood. He was no longer as cold as before.

"No, I'm not tired," I refused in a low voice.

The thought of the hope of redressing my mother's case made me want to leave right away. Besides, I couldn't sleep under the same roof with a temperamental and dangerous man like Rufus.
