The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 519

Sylvia's POV:

I examined every inch of Hobson's body. His legs, arms, and fingers looked as dry as a withered leaf. He didn't look this frail and weak when I saw him the day before yesterday.

No wonder he didn't attend the dinner last night.

Hobson's body was chapped and dry like a dehydrated log of wood.

Such a sign was abnormal for both werewolves and vampires.

I thought his health was deteriorating.

I circled the coffin twice, gently knocking on its walls. The loud thud resounded across the silent room.

However, Hobson didn't wake up.

I discovered that no matter how powerful a vampire was, they would sleep like a log during the day.

As I examined Hobson, I found something like a cross hanging on his neck. The shape of the cross looked strange. It had a wavy pattern that looked like saw teeth.

'Is it a key?'

If my guess was right, then it must be the key to the front gate because Hobson was wearing it even in his sleep.

After a moment's hesitation, I cautiously reached for it.

My heart took a sprint in my chest when I saw Hobson's face.

I prayed for him not to wake up.

A wave of relief washed over me when I touched the key. I gripped the chain and gently pulled it.

But before I could pull the key off, a pair of withered hands grabbed my wrist. The force was so strong that it seemed to crush my bones.

My heart leaped to my throat.

Only then did I find that Hobson had opened his eyes and was staring at me.
