The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 458

Sylvia's POV:

After another round of sex, 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 slave. Looking at Rufus nervously, I said, "I messed up your plan tonight. What if Geoffrey tortures—or worse— executes Ashley?"

Judging from the scars all over Ashley's body, I could tell that Geoffrey was not kind to her.
