The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 429

Sylvia's POV:

We marched in silence. The initial excitement present when we had set out had long vanished. My heart clenched painfully as I thought back to the boy with the moldy bread.

Geoffrey took us to his house, which was a huge manor.

The banquet was held in this resplendent palace. When I entered it, I felt like I was transported back to the imperial palace.

Flora and I exchanged glances and we instantly knew what was running through the other's minds.

The werewolf race had a strict hierarchy, including a stringent etiquette system. For example, the cars used by an Alpha to get around were not allowed to be more expensive than those used by the lycan king. Apart from this, there were also strict rules and regulations regarding the standard and architectural style of the residence of an Alpha, which could not be broken.

It was obvious that Alpha Geoffrey had gone against these stated rules.

Geoffrey asked us to take our seats, giving Rufus the chair at the head of the table.

The long table decorated with aromatic flowers was laden with scrumptious food.

As my mind flashed back to the werewolves who were stealing to fill their stomachs beyond the colossal wall, I lost my appetite. The rage burning inside me made me want to destroy this excessive display of wealth in front of me.

I peeked at Rufus, who was standing across from me. His face still betrayed no emotions. He didn't say anything and sat down like everything was normal.

"Take a seat," he ordered.

The other soldiers obeyed his command and quickly found chairs to sit down on.

However, the six members of my team didn't move a muscle. We all stood stock-still at the table with wooden expressions.

Harry snorted, his face a mask of fury. He seemed to want to say something, but before he could voice his thoughts, Rufus reprimanded him harshly.

"What are you doing?" Rufus shot us a cold glare and tapped the table with his slender fingers. "Soldiers are not allowed to disobey an order given by their superiors. Those who break a rule will be punished according to military regulations."

No one dared to protest now. Harry and the others quietly sat down at the table.
