The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 199

Rufus' POV:

The uncontrollable wild wolves began to quiet down and turned their eyes to me.

"Go back," I coldly warned them.

Howling in a low voice, the wolves sprang back into action again, but this time they had understood what I said.

The wolves then retreated, making way for the gray wolf.

With its neck still wrapped in a bandage that had already gotten very dirty, the gray wolf was also holding a plant in its mouth. It was a plant I had never seen before, with a purplish-red stalk and a pale yellow bud.

Slowly, it walked towards me. The guards around me grew vigilant and wanted to stop it and pointed their guns at it.

"No, stand down!" I barked at them.

"But, sir..." The guards hesitated, refusing to put their guns down. "What if it hurts you?"

"Just stay back. It's not going to hurt me."

Reluctantly, they obeyed my order and retreated.

The gray wolf approached me and dropped the plant in its mouth at my feet. It roared fretfully, as if it were panicking, and even tried to gently bite at my trousers.

I crouched down to pick up the plant. I noticed this was the same way the wolf reacted with Sylvia's wound on her arm that day.

"Did you know that Sylvia has been poisoned?"

I asked the question casually, not expecting a response, but the gray wolf nodded all of a sudden.

"And this plant... Did you give it to me because it can detoxify Sylvia?" I aired out my hopes.
