Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 458 The Whole Story
Sylvia’s POV:
After another round of s*e*x, Rufus and I took a warm bath —for real this time. I leaned against Rufus’ chest under the shower head, lost in thought.
What happened tonight was so strange that I still couldn’t wrap my head around it. Rufus kissed me on the forehead and murmured, “What’s on your mind?”
“This pack.” I raised my head to look at Rufus. “I feel like we’ve gotten ourselves involved into a complicated maze.”
“Well then, we can always find the exit,” Rufus said softly.
When I thought about the boy who lived in the sewer, I couldn’t help but sigh. I told Rufus what had happened outside the wall tonight. “Seeing Felix and his home reminded me of my dark past… The endless curses and humiliation… I was always hungry. I knew nothing but suffering back then.”
“That’s all in the past, Sylvia. You have me now.” Rufus hugged me tightly.
“I know. Thanks, honey.” I gave him a gentle peck on the lips. Then I touched the tip of his nose with mine and smiled. “I can’t help but feel that this was fate. Maybe it was love at first sight.”
Stroking my waist, Rufus’ gaze softened and he said affectionately, “So, we’re redeeming each other?”
“Sort of.” I chuckled and leaned against his chest again. “I don’t even want to think back the path I had taken. What if I took one single wrong step? Maybe I wouldn’t have met you.”
Rufus chuckled. “Impossible, Sylvia. I would’ve found you anyway. The Moon Goddess brought you to me.”
Although Rufus was usually aloof and quiet, he was actually quite the sweet talker when we were alone.
I couldn’t help but chuckle alongside him. “You are so good to me.”
“Did you just find that out?” Rufus snorted, pretending to feel aggrieved.
We cuddled in the tub a little longer when I suddenly thought of the vampire sl*ve. Looking at Rufus nervously, I said, “I messed up your plan tonight. What if Geoffrey t*ortur*es—or worse—executes Ashley?”
Judging from the scars all over Ashley’s body, I could tell that Geoffrey was not kind to her.
“No. I hinted at him to take care of her.” Rufus stroked my head and said in a helpless tone, “You were so insensible…”
I pouted like a little child. “I was just jealous, okay?”
“Okay, okay.” Rufus looked at me gently. “Don’t worry. I’ll find an opportunity to get the sl*ve here tomorrow. But you have to cooperate with me, okay?”
I nodded obed*iently. “I’m sure I’ll be fine.”
Then Rufus and I continued to talk about what we had seen outside the wall. “Unfortunately, we didn’t get much useful information. Felix had his guard up.”
“It’s okay. There’ll be plenty of chances. We’ll stay here for about two more weeks. Take your time. Since you’ve found a secret passage, I’ll try to come with you after the full moon night,” Rufus suggested.
I felt relieved. No matter how complicated a situation looked, as long as Rufus was with me, I felt as though I could conquer anything. He was so strong and reliable, like a shelter that protected me from whatever hurled at me.
The atmosphere was warm and sweet. Touching Rufus ‘ perfectly chiseled abs, I murmured, “What do you think I should do? I think John is gay and Harry seems to be a little bent by him.”
Rufus raised his eyebrows with great interest. “What made you think that?”
“They’ve been acting so weird lately!” I complained to Rufus about their strange behavior.
Rufus smiled and said, “Maybe you’re too quick to judge.”
“Maybe…” I sighed. I wrapped my arms around Rufus ‘ waist restlessly. Suddenly, I felt a bump on his back. “Your mole seems to have grown a little bigger.”
But I wasn’t so sure, so I asked Rufus to turn over. “You must have remembered it wrong. I don’t see anything different.”
Rufus craned his neck to look at the mole carefully. Perhaps I was wrong.
Was I thinking too much? I didn’t know why, but the existence of that mole made me feel really uneasy.
