Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 568 The Sneak Attack on Layla
Sylvia’s POV:
Flora and I searched Noreen’s lab and took everything that looked useful. The most valuable find was the flower that could remove curses.
I followed Flora around with the plotted flower in my arms.
Flora was groping the wall, trying to find the mechanism. “I saw it just now. That’s how I opened the door to the hidden compartment.” Flora’s whole body was pressed against the wall, as if she was trying to use every inch of her skin to look for the mechanism.
Finally, I put down the potted plant and was about to help her when I suddenly stepped on something soft. Before I could react, the whole room began to swing, accompanied by rhythmic music.
As the room spun, Yana screamed excitedly, “Let me out! I want to jump around!”
“Calm down, Yana! Please! God! I feel like vomiting.”
The floor was swinging very slowly, but I still felt nausea. By now, Flora had already vomited. Wiping her mouth, she cursed angrily, “What the hell?! Noreen is so good at messing with us!”
“Let me out, Sylvia! Listen to me. I won’t feel dizzy!” Yana begged.
I pressed my fingers to my aching temple in an effort to get rid of the dizziness, but it didn’t work. Before I could lose my balance, I listened to Yana and turned into a wolf. In an instant, the dizziness disappeared.
Yana howled and pawed the ground, telling Flora to turn into a wolf, too.
But before she could transform, Flora vomited heavily once more. Finally, she weakly turned into a light blue wolf.
The two wolves rubbed snouts excitedly, not affected by the spinning room at all.
Just then, the music suddenly stopped and the room began to shake violently. Gradually, the room rotated horizontally.
Flora and I immediately turned back into our human forms and helped each other stand up.
“The plant!” Flora reminded me anxiously.
I quickly reached for the potted plant on the ground and hugged it, praying that this wasn’t an illusion, lest all our efforts be in vain.
About ten seconds later, the room finally stopped spinning. One of the walls was displaced, leaving a gaping hole—the exit. And standing right in front of the exit was Layla!
“I finally found you!” Layla’s eyes lit up in pleasant surprise. It turned out that she was the one who had found the mechanism that saved us just now.
After briefly explaining what had happened, we saw that there was a lot of blood on Layla’s arm. Plus, Ashley was missing.
“What happened?” I asked worriedly.
Layla cradled her wounded arm and smiled bitterly. “Ashley snuck up on me and attacked me, nearly disabling my arm.”
“What the f*uc*k? Why would she do that?” Flora asked in disbelief. “I thought she was a timid vampire. She never fought back when she was bullied back in the werewolf pack. Where would she find the audacity to attack you so suddenly?”
Layla shook her head and sighed. “She deceived us. She’s a vampire after all.”
“f*uc*k!” Flora’s eyes flashed with annoyance. She had taken care of Ashley without any racial prejudice. It seemed her kindness had gone to waste.
Everyone was blinded by her timid appearance. Even Layla, who had always been shrewd, had fallen for her act. She glanced at me and said, “The only reason why Ashley agreed to help you exchange hostages was because she wanted to find an opportunity to capture you and take you back to Hobson. I wonder how she found out that Hobson was looking for you. When you and Flora disappeared, she thought you were dead, so she decided to capture me instead. She used her special power on me and I almost lost to her. Fortunately, I sobered up in time.”
“So where is she?” Flora was a little angry. She rolled up her sleeves, as though she was getting ready to teach that vampire a lesson.
“She might have left by now.”
