The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 116

Sylvia's POV:

I coughed awkwardly, withdrew my hand, and let Rufus wipe my face.

"Prince Rufus, my name is Warren. I'm from the Silver Moon Pack. Sylvia and I are classmates." Warren talked to Rufus tirelessly. It seemed that he wouldn't stop until Rufus responded to him.

Rufus turned his head and looked at Warren, seemingly displeased with Warren's repeated interjection. "Why are you with Sylvia?"

I noticed that Rufus was already impatient, so I quickly stood in front of Warren and explained, "Warren and I are here to practice more today. He's kind enough to help me practice. Thanks to him, I have improved a lot."

I wanted to say that Warren was a good classmate and a good comrade in arms to appease Rufus. But after those words came out of my mouth, it was only then that I realized something wrong.

"Really?" Rufus' face darkened even more. "But your leg hasn't recovered yet, right?"

After saying this, he looked at my leg.

Damn it! How could I forget it? My body stiffened, and I glanced at him guiltily.

It was too late to pretend that my leg was in pain now. I wanted to cry but had no tears.

At this moment, Rufus took out a crumpled note from his pocket. It was the one I left for Maya.

My face turned pale, a little unsure of what to do with Rufus next.

"Maya gave me this note." Rufus unfolded the note and showed it to me. "This is your handwriting, right?"

I didn't say anything and just grabbed the seam of my trousers. My palms began to sweat.

"I really believed it, so I immediately went to find you."

Upon hearing this, I lowered my head guiltily, regretting using such a lame excuse to Rufus. It was really my fault because, after all, I agreed to be his date at the ball in the first place. I should have refused him decisively from the beginning. "But your roommate said that your leg had already recovered," Rufus continued in a calm tone of voice. Then he paused for a moment and added, "Sylvia, what the hell is going on?"

Since he already knew the truth, there was no use hiding it from him anymore. I gritted my teeth and looked up to meet his eyes. "I just didn't want to go, so I made this excuse."

"Why?" Rufus asked calmly.
