Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 488 Waiting
Rufus’ POV:
The magnificent room was now a mess. All the furniture had been smashed to the floor.
The huge painting on the wall tilted to the side and finally fell to the floor with a crack, splitting into two.
I sat on the couch and smoked desperately. The back of my hand was bruised and bleeding. I numbly stared out the window. My emotions were so overwhelming that I felt like I was going to drown. I almost couldn’t hold back the urge to murder and destroy everything in this place.
I put the half remaining cigarette into the ashtray and picked up my phone from the table. Seeing the photo of Sylvia on my screen, I couldn’t help but feel depressed. Looking at a photo of Sylvia was the only thing that could calm me down now.
“Sylvia’s going to be fine. What you need to do now is rest. Don’t be defeated even before you bring Sylvia back,” Omar persuaded me.
I didn’t say anything. I ran my finger through the screen and looked at the girl in the photo with affection. All I wanted was to keep her beside me forever.
“I don’t think Geoffrey wants you as an enemy. He could be using Sylvia to get you to form an alliance with him,” Omar continued. “Let’s see what Geoffrey is going to do tomorrow. I have a feeling that this city has more secrets than it seems.”
“Of course, I know that. But whenever I remember that Sylvia is in the hands of vampires, I just want to slaughter everything in my way.”
Vampires and werewolves had been at odds since the ancient times. Even if Geoffrey used vampires, it was merely a transactional relationship. It was hard to guarantee that vampires did not have a plan of their own.
“We could K*ll Geoffrey after saving Sylvia. This pack could use a new Alpha.” Omar now began to mirror my restlessness.
“Let’s wait and see. If Sylvia has not been hurt, everything could still be negotiable.” After all, this was not only Geoffrey’s problem now, but the whole pack as well. Their world view and values had been distorted for so long. It was difficult to change it in a short amount of time.
“If we can’t solve the problem on our own, we’d better give up on this place. I feel that this pack is already rotten to the c*ore. Even if we replace Geoffrey with another Alpha, who’s to say they won’t follow the old path again?” Omar pondered.
I pursed my lips in confusion. I thought of my father, the citizens, and the army, forgetting to answer Omar’s question.
Omar heaved a long sigh. “Forget it. Let’s wait and see tomorrow. But if ever we don’t K*ll Geoffrey, we must still teach him a lesson.”
I played with my lighter and stared at the dancing flame. Slowly, I began to calm down. Omar didn’t say anything more. He just stayed with me quietly.
It was not until dawn that I stood up from the couch. First, I secretly sent my confidants to the surrounding areas to look for traces of vampires and Sylvia. Then, I asked some troops to leave the city and go to other nearby packs for a*s*sistance, citing the reason as post-earthquake reconstruction.
After that, I sat still on the edge of the bed like a statue until noon. At twelve o’clock, someone knocked on my door. I removed my tie, changed into black casual clothes, and opened the door.
“Prince Rufus, the car is waiting at the gate.” Geoffrey’s subordinate was at the door respectfully.
I put on my sunglasses and tossed the room key to him. “Kindly clean the room up.”
“Yes, sir.”
