The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 180

Rufus' POV:

Carefully, I removed the beast trap from Sylvia's hand and looked at her injury.

It was serious. I could almost see her bones and she was bleeding profusely.

"I'm fine. It doesn't hurt..." Sylvia smiled in attempt to comfort me, but her pale face said otherwise.

I didn't say anything. Instead, I just took out my handkerchief and wiped as much blood off as possible. I was in a bad mood.

"Are you mad?" Sylvia tugged on my clothes with her other hand and frowned.

"No." I lowered my head and licked her wound, the taste of her blood filling my mouth.

Sylvia winced and tried to retract her hand as she stared at me. "Are you sure you're not mad?

You don't look too happy either."

I felt sorry for this silly girl. I wasn't mad at her.

I was angry at myself for not being able to protect her enough.

I couldn't resist the urge to give her a gentle kiss. "Don't worry about it."

Sylvia blinked before returning my kiss passionately. A few moments later, she spat. "Ack. Blood." "That's your own blood!" I chuckled, tucking her hair behind her ears and fiddling with her earlobe between my fingers. Leaning closer, I rubbed her soft cheek against mind. My love for her burned like a wild horse running free and with no control. I wanted nothing more than to stuff her into my pocket so that I could keep her with me at all times.

"How did you know I'm here in the forbidden forest?" Sylvia asked, planting a kiss on my palm.

"I tried calling you many times, but there was no answer. I went to your school to check and we later found Flora in the equipment room." I lowered my head and continued licking her wound.
