The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 827

Sylvia's POV:

On the way back, I quietly looked out of the car window and glanced at the scenery—recalling my short twenty some years where I had experienced ups and downs. The things, as well as the people around me, had changed a lot.

Noreen once told me that I was a jinx. That neither the person who loved me nor the one I loved would stay by my side.

My mother died in order to seal my black witch bloodline. The process exhausted her energy and accelerated her death. I was also the reason why Alina made so many mistakes that led to the death of Leonard in the end.

I turned to look at Rufus, who was looking at his document. I instantly felt my heart ache.

I didn't want to lose him again.

Maybe I really was a jinx. That everyone I loved was destined to leave me one day.

When Rufus noticed me staring at him, he turned to look at me. "Honey, what's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

He then put down the document in his hand and reached out for my face.

I shook my head and lifted the armrest between the two seats before moving to his side. "No. I'm just a little tired."

Sometimes, mental fatigue was much more difficult to deal with than physical fatigue.

Rufus probably sensed the change in my mood which caused him to put his document away. He then let me sit on his lap and kissed the corner of my lips. "You seem a little pensive."

"I'm just thinking about something." I put my arms around his neck and pulled him close. That was the only way I could feel at ease.

Rufus gently stroked my hair. "Honey, no matter what happens, I'll always be here for you. I'll be fine as long as you stay with me."

I didn't say anything. I knew he had already been suspicious of me. I took the initiative to admit my black witch bloodline at the ceremony in front of the entire pack, and I knew that made him on guard.
