The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 399

Harry's POV:

I kept knocking on the door for what seemed like an eternity, but neither Flora nor Sylvia responded. So I had no choice but to leave, quilt and pillow in tow.

And as luck would have it, it started to drizzle outside, as though the weather wanted to reflect my mood.

I felt like a homeless orphan. As I walked away, I'd looked back at Sylvia's dormitory again and again.

A military officer passed by and felt sorry for me, so he gave me a raincoat.

The quilt was wet by now, but I didn't want to let it go. I looked up into the rainy skies, hoping for a miracle.

But damn it! I had almost made it back to my dormitory building, yet Sylvia and Flora hadn't come to my rescue yet.

I had no idea why those two damned girls changed their minds out of the blue.

The more I tried to figure it out, the sadder I became. They had already agreed to take me in, but they went back on their words.

They got my hopes up. I had thought that I wouldn't have to face John alone tonight and planned to celebrate, but in the end, my plan failed.

I stood outside the dormitory building, dawdling for as long as I could. The thought that I had to face John upstairs made my head pound.

I hadn't slept properly in so long. Every time I tried to close my eyes at night, I'd dream that John had become a ghost in water chasing me.

It just kept haunting me!

"What're you so afraid of? She's just a she-wolf," my wolf, Evan, said coldly.

"It's just that I don't want to face her alone!" I said defensively.

The last time I was alone with John on a mission, we encountered a landslide and fell into water. I managed to rescue her and wanted to give her CPR, but then I found out that John was actually a she-wolf.

At the time, I was so flustered. I had been single for years now and it was the first time I saw a werewolf of the opposite sex half-naked.

After struggling with it for a while, I finally decided to feign ignorance.

And that was the beginning of my misery. Hiding a secret like this was too fucking painful!

Ever since then, I had been avoiding John. Wherever she went, I'd run the opposite way. But as fate would have it, she was assigned to my dormitory room. Such bad luck!

"You're such a coward!" Lvan cursed, as if I wasn't living up to his expectation.

"Why do you think John disguises herself as a man?" I squatted under a tree and squinted at the light upstairs. Just then, the window of my room suddenly swung open and John poked her head out. Startled, I quickly hid under my quilt.

Lvan snorted, "If you're so curious, just ask her. Stop being such an idiot!"
