The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 178

Area

Rufus' POV:

After getting some useful information from Flora, I headed out to the equipment room to check.

The skylight was very high from the floor. My heart sank when I estimated the height. If Sylvia jumped from here, she would have undoubtedly gotten injured.

I could see footprints and dried bloodstains on the ground. I followed the trace, and it led me to the forbidden forest.

The place was eerily silent, and I didn't see anyone on the way.

My stomach began to churn with anxiety and unease.

The bloodstains disappeared before the forbidden forest. Just then, the sun began to sink into the mountains, and the mist grew thicker, enveloping the trees and mountains.

"I didn't think Sylvia would have entered the forbidden forest. There are no footprints here," my wolf, Omar, said worriedly.

However, that was precisely why I grew suspicious. The traces had disappeared all of a sudden, which seemed to worry me.

"The footprints tell that Sylvia has run all the way here in a mess." I squatted and inspected the soil. "It means someone was chasing her."

"Then.whyhavethefootprintsdisappearedhere?" Omar asked in confusion.

"They didn't disappear." I dusted off the soil in my hands and stood up to look into the forbidden forest. "Someone has deliberately erased the traces."

"Erased the traces?"

"Well, whoever it was wanted us to know that Sylvia had entered the forbidden forest. They wanted her to die here." I sneered. "There have been a series of traps today; each one, trying to kill Sylvia."

"But Sylvia might not even be in the forbidden forest. Besides, there are many fierce beasts there. I'm not sure if I can safely get her out of there," Omar calmly explained.
