The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 187

Sylvia's POV:

The following morning, just as the sun began to climb in the horizon, Rufus and I set off for the forbidden forest.

I followed him carefully, medical kit in tow. Rufus' guards were also there in the shadows, where we couldn't see.

We had wanted to take a doctor with us, but when the doctor found out where we were going, he fainted on the spot. Eventually, Rufus convinced me to let go of the idea that we were going to bring that poor doctor.

We didn't stop until we reached the edge of the forbidden forest. Rufus turned to me, straightened my collar, and put a woolen hat on my head snugly. "Don't leave my side. Just follow my lead. If we can't find the grey wolf, then we'll have to leave immediately."

"Okay." I nodded, slipping my hand into his. "Don't worry. I don't plan on exploringby myself."

Rufus smiled slightly, then together, we entered the forbidden forest.

Not long after, we were met with a group of around a dozen wild wolves.

I looked at them on high alert. They stared back at me and Rufus, not daring to act rashly. They seemed to be afraid of Rufus.

All of a sudden, the group wild wolves raised their noses to the sky and began to howl uneasily. Their voices sounded anxious, as though they wanted us to follow them.

Rufus and I exchanged suspicious glances and followed them immediately.

"Are they taking us to see the grey wolf?" I asked with confusion, seeing how eagerly those wolves led the way. "I thought they abandoned the grey wolf yesterday."

"I guess we're going to find out." Rufus squeezed my hand gently to comfort me.

The wild wolves soon led us to a cave. It was dark, dank, and cramped, but in the corner lay the dying grey wolf.
