The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 654

Sylvia's POV:

I was so terrified that I started shaking. The monstrous fear swaddled me, making it difficult for me to draw in a full breath.

Fortunately, the black thorn only grew slightly before it stopped.

"What's wrong?" Rufus turned his head and asked.

I reflexively hid the reason from him. "No, nothing..."

"Nothing changed?" He looked a little perplexed. "Do you want to try again? With a little more blood?"

"No! There's no need!" I was so agitated that I refused without a second thought.

Rufus was startled and spun around instantly. "What's wrong? Is the change bad?" he asked in a worried voice as he placed his hand on my forehead. "Sylvia, are you alright?"

Realizing that I was behaving erratically, I took a small step back. "I'm fine."

"Really?" His eyes narrowed as he watched me suspiciously.

I pretended to be unaffected and gave him a smile. "I think I was just hallucinating right now. My blood doesn't work, so I guess this is not Noreen's curse." "No, Sylvia, you're not telling the truth." Rufus didn't believe me. His eyebrows furrowed and he studied my face carefully.

I inhaled deeply and said, "Fine, I'll tell you the truth. I didn't sleep a wink last night, so I feel a little woozy right now."

I could see Rufus trying to rein in his temper. He picked me up and placed me on the bed in the lounge. "Close your eyes and sleep now."

Honestly, I wasn't sleepy at all. But when I saw Rufus' thunderous expression, I didn't dare to argue with him. So, I had no choice but to obediently close my eyes.

"All right, all right. I'm going to sleep. You carry on with your work."

"I'm not leaving until you fall asleep." He caressed my face and cajoled me. "Just take a good nap and you will feel much better."

I nodded and my body gradually relaxed. In his presence, I soon drifted off to sleep.

Noon had arrived by the time I woke up.
