The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 18

Sylvia's POV:

Rufus' hands were very warm, and my feet couldn't help flinching involuntarily. But he didn't allow me to back down and put on the other shoe for me.

The shoes fit in my feet perfectly. I wonder how he knew my size so accurately. And when I remembered that he even knew the size of my clothes, I felt so embarrassed that I bit my lower lip and looked at him shyly.

Rufus didn't say anything. He just stood up after putting on my shoes.

I tidied up my dress nervously and prepared to get out of the car. Rufus stretched out his hand and looked at me with his deep eyes.

When I noticed the scrutiny in the eyes of the crowd, I hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether I should take his hand or not. But I couldn't embarrass him in public. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable if I angered him.

In the end, I could only hold his cuff with my head down. My heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

In a trance, I seemed to hear a chuckle. It was like a feather that brushed my ears and tickled me.

Was he chuckling? I looked up at Rufus. But aside from his pursed lips and the indifferent expression on his face, there was nothing else. Was I only imagining things?

But I inexplicably felt more uneasy.

The imperial palace was very large, with high walls on both sides. I walked beside Rufus stiffly, still holding his sleeve. The werewolves around were whispering to each other, which made me a little at a loss.

"Look! Prince Rufus has actually brought a she-wolf back."

"She is very beautiful. Is she the daughter of an Alpha?"

"You're thinking too much. Didn't you see the scars on her feet just now? Either she got injured while working, or it was caused by frostbites."

Then there was a burst of laughter. My palms began to sweat. I felt like a sheep thrown into a group of lions. I trembled, taking every step.

"Shh! Keep your voices down! Otherwise, Prince Rufus will hear you, and he will get offended."

"I really don't know why the prince likes her."

"Hey, do you want to die? How dare you question Prince Rufus' choice!"

After we entered the gate of the palace, the discussions around us gradually disappeared.
