Sylvia's POV:
After slapping him, I returned to my human form and pressed the giant silver wolf under my body.
The giant wolf was listless and lowered his ears humbly, letting me do whatever I wanted to him.
He swept his big tail on the floor and then wrapped it around my waist affectionately.
I looked at him unhappily and bit down on his ear—hard.
The giant wolf let out a light cry, and his big tail tightened the grip around me.
Finally, I patted the wolf's tail and said calmly, "Let go of me. I'm going to get off."
The big tail slowly unraveled and lay on the floor lifelessly.
Now that I had vented my anger, I felt calm. I sat up and said flatly, "You can explain now."
Rufus turned into his human form and sat up. His hair was in a mess, and there were several teeth marks on his chin. His clothes were also disheveled and torn.
He ran his fingers through my hair helplessly and sighed. "I'm glad you're not angry anymore."
I glared at him and snorted, "I have to listen to the criminal's statement before sentencing him to death."
Rufus didn't take my cold attitude seriously. He smiled and pecked me on the cheek, acting like a spoiled brat.
Irked but helpless, I sat in his arms and waited for him to explain.
When he reached the part where he mistook Ashley for me, I began to feel uncomfortable again.
"I wouldn't have mistaken anyone else for you," I said begrudgingly.
Rufus immediately lowered his head and took my hand. "Ashley's a vampire, remember? Her special power is to create illusions. I soon found out that it wasn't you."
I frowned and recalled what the soldiers had said back at the banquet.
