The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 271

Sylvia's POV:

Amused, I didn't know whether to burst into tears or laughter. Rin and Rufus had never liked each other, ever since the first time they met. It seemed the two still hadn't reconciled.

"Rufus looks mean, but you'll know how good a man he is as time goes by," I said gently, rubbing Rin's head comfortingly.

Rin whined and withdrew its head, as if it begged to differ.

Thinking for a while, I pulled out the whistle Rufus had given to me from under my collar. "Look. Rufus made this whistle for me so that I could meet you whenever I wanted."

Rin's beady eyes glanced at the carefully carved whistle in my hand. Without saying anything, it swung its big tail to the ground. I knew it was its way of telling me that its attitude was softening towards Rufus, so I added, "Rin, Rufus is my mate. If you can't accept him, I'll be very, very sad." I pretended to be sad and wiped imaginary tears from my eyes. "Just look at him! He looks so pitiful. If I just leave him here, he'll be eaten by a wild beast. And If he dies, I can't keep on living in this world."

Rin lowered its head and whined anxiously, as though to reassure me that it understood where I was coming from.

"So let's take Rufus with us, okay? Don't make me leave him here." I buried my face in my hands, pretending to be sad, peeking at Rin from between my fingers.

Rin tilted its head to look at Rufus, as though it was weighing pros and cons. Finally, it rubbed its nose against the back of my hand, as if to say that it had agreed to my request.

"Thank you so much, Rin. But I still need to ask a little favor of you." I smiled at it sheepishly. "You see, Yana is exhausted. I can't carry Rufus anymore. Can you do it?"

Rin let out a high-pitched whine and stomped its big paw indignantly. Then, it took a step forward and approached Rufus pensively.

Seeing this, I thought it had agreed to my request. Just as I was helping Rufus up, Rin raised its front paw and stepped on Rufus' limp hand. Then it raised its head and howled. A brown wild wolf suddenly ran towards us.

The two wolves lowered their heads and whispered for a long time before finally, the brown wolf walked to me and knelt.

Rin cast Rufus a sideway glance then raised its head proudly.

Well, it turned out that Rin was still stubborn.
