The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 244

Sylvia's POV:

The letter stated that Richard was planning to give Rufus a drug that would make him go crazy and then lure him to kill someone during the parade.

I held the thin paper in my shaking hands. My first thought was to wonder whether someone else knew about the curse and wanted to use it to set Rufus up.

But after a few moments of thinking, I noticed the word "drug." I remembered what Lena said about Gamma Mateo also using a drug to make my mother go crazy so that he accuse her of killing the Alpha and Luna of our pack.

Was Richard about to do the same thing?

While looking for Lena, Rufus did mention once that there were also two other groups of werewolves coming after her. Undoubtedly, one of them was sent by Gamma Mateo. I guessed the other one was now sent by Richard.

Because on the day that we met Lena, we were also hunted down.

Only Richard would know Rufus' whereabouts so easily. Additionally, when Richard met with Rufus that night, he was also probing about my own whereabouts. He seemed surprised to see that I was not with Rufus.

There was only one explanation for this. He had been secretly spying on us. That was the only way he would know that Rufus left the imperial palace with me.

Putting all the clues together, it now seemed very likely that Richard and Mateo could be working together. If my assumptions were true, then I would not wonder anymore how Richard acquired the same drug that Mateo used.

I went over the letter several more times. It didn't say where or how Richard would execute this place. I just guessed that whoever sent this letter didn't know the details either.

Still, a part of me was unsure whether this letter was telling the truth, or why this person who sent it would tell me about it. But if this was true, then the consequences of such a plan would be unimaginable.

I dialed Rufus on my phone, my heart beating out of my chest. The thought of Rufus being in danger made me extremely nervous.

I prayed and prayed for Rufus to answer his phone, but to no avail.
