Rufus' POV:
Geoffrey didn't even bother to tidy up his messy hair and clothes. Instead, he pretended to be humble and knelt down in front of me. "Prince Rufus, I went through all this effort..."
"Can you just drop the act? It's pissing me off!" Flora cut Geoffrey off. She was just as anxious as me. "Cut the crap and tell us what this is all about!"
I somehow managed to restrain the bloodthirsty killing intent in my heart and stared at Geoffrey coldly. "I'm giving you two minutes to explain yourself. If you don't tell us what you want by then, I'll kill you myself."
Geoffrey nodded slowly. "Okay, Prince Rufus."
I pursed my lips impatiently and waited for him to continue.
Geoffrey cleared his throat and smoothed his oily hair before he started speaking. "If you can promise not to interfere in the affairs of this pack and report nothing out of the ordinary when you get back, I can promise you that everyone you brought here will make it out of this ordeal alive —including Miss Todd."
"That's it?" I surveyed him calmly.
"Yes. That's it." Geoffrey smiled again. "I've heard a thing or two about what happened in the imperial city. Prince Richard is out of the picture. If everything goes well, you'll be the next lycan king, Prince Rufus. I'd never be so stupid as to go against the future king, right? So that's it. I really wouldn't do anything to hurt Miss Todd. On the contrary, I vow I will treat her well."
I chuckled. "Do you expect me to grateful?"
