The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 360

Sylvia's POV:

Fortunately, we had the cover of the night and no one saw us clearly.

I hurriedly took Rufus to a quiet place.

There was no one around. The street light in the area flickered and was dim. My eyes darted around wildly, and when I saw that the coast was clear, I finally heaved a sigh of relief.

When I turned around, I found that Rufus was grinning at me like a naughty little boy.

After looking at each other for a few seconds, we both burst into uncontrollable laughter.

It was so ridiculous! This was probably the first time that Rufus had been so panicked in his life.

"I doubt I'll be able to show you what my mother gave me," I said when my laughter died down.

Rufus nodded and took my hand. "It's okay. You can show me some other time. No need to rush. By the way, you don't have to go to school from tomorrow onwards."

I looked at him in disbelief. "Huh? So suddenly?" Rufus nodded. "Yes. You not only have a formal military rank, but also have won the first place in the selection competition and are the leader of the elite team. So now, you can officially join the army." "Have the other members of the elite team been confirmed?" I asked, squinting at him curiously. Things weren't the same after we entered the forbidden forest. Warren was seriously injured and unconscious in a hospital. Did that mean there'd be less than six members?

Rufus pursed his lips and winked at me, deliberately keeping me in suspense. "You'll find out when you go to the army."

Despite his cryptic answer, I smiled. I was happy because I'd get to see Rufus more often now. The future looked promising indeed.

"Tomorrow, I'll have someone help you pack your things," Rufus added.

"Oh, it's okay. I can do it myself." I waved my hand dismissively.

I didn't want things to change just because my relationship with Rufus had been made public. Besides, a trivial task like packing was something I could handle easily. With regards to Maya, I just let her help me sometimes.
